which was revealed on the one hand
by Peter Cooper in support of his
doctrine that the credit and faith of
the United States should be a suf-
ficient guarantee of the high quality
of government notes, and on the
other by Mr. Hewitt, who held fast
to what he called not only the sound
Democratic doctrine. but the sound
economic doctrine. that money could
not be the invisible and intangible
thing which the credit and faith of
the United States government are,
but must be medium Of exchange
visible, recognized the world over,
bearing the high quality which gold
and silver have possessed and COM
modify.
1.-THE discussions sometimes lasted
until late in the night. Peter Cooper
had no expectation of being elected
President. He somewhat reluctantly
consented to accept the nomination
of the Greenba or independent
party, and only did so because he was
assured that his nomina ton would
give strength and dignity to that
party.
after the election Mr. Hewitt as
sured me that Peter Coopers view
about the greenbacks was absolute
Iy sincere and he further said that
Mr.. Cooper often remarked that were
he a younger man he would conf
IDENTIFY look forward to the day when
the people would accept and adopt
his views on the efficacy and suf-
ficiency of government paper cur
rency.
''Then Mr.. Hewitt would add quite
as confidently that if Mr.. Cooper
lived to the age of Methuselah he
would not live long enough to see the
American people as whole adopt
his ideas, unless the character of the
American people was completely
changed"

There was a Presidential candidate of
so recent a date that you could have
voted for him, if you had supported
his views, who was repudiated as a
candidate both by his son and by his
son-in-law You surely cannot nave

peter Cooper's son, Edward Coo

New York, and his son-in-law, Abram
S. Hewitt, who was also Mayor OF
New York, repudiated the candidacy
of Peter Cooper because they were
strongly opposed to the fiscal prin-
ciples which he advocated.
II have been told,' continued Judge
Davis, now speaking very seriously,
that it would have been very great
privilege if any one could have been
a guest of Peter cooper curing the
Presidential campaign of 1875. For at
his table and in his reception-room
after dinner there was discussion be-
tween him and his son-in-law, Mr.
Hewett, and his son, Edward Cooper,
which ought to have been taken down
in shorthand and then printed. These
discussions would have furnished a
valuable symposium upon economic
subjects and especially the subjects

an attic, where she had remained
ever since, living on water which
her captors provided and a mince pie
which she had concealed in her petit
coat pocket. Her story was believed
and she identified a gypsy named
Mary Squires as the woman who had
maItreated her. Mary Squires insist
ed that she had not been in Lon
don at the time of the crime. The
contest grew hot; the wits and coffee
house philosophers took it up and
discussed it. and all London was d.
vided between the Canningites-who
believed Elizabeth's story and the
Egyptians who believe the gipsy's
story It was the most important
topic of the day for months until
finally at a second trial the gypsy
proved beyond doubt her own inno-
cence and the falsehood of Elizabeth s
story The mystery only increased.
All London wondered where Mary

pamphlets and books were written
about it and sermons were preached

rush this year viii be probably more
noticeable than those of the past
The crowds viii gradually grow
larger as the great day approaches.
There was a noticeable increase IN the
number OF passengers brought to the
city today IN the trolley cars from the
nearby towns and villages, showing
that folks In those sections are ready
10 begin their Easter shopping, as
soon as the weather invites them.
Soon the incoming trains on the rail-
roads viii be bringing their quota OF
shoppers to add TO the trade Of local
merchants.
While there are no extravagant or
gorgeous displays so far in any Of the
candy stores, the windows of these
shops indicate a preparedness for the
Easter business, aud taste has taken
the place of meaningless display in
the showing of goods. Many Of the
windows are real models in the matter
of decorations.
Homemade and home-decorated
chocolate eggs will be one OF the favo-
rite articles in the way of candy this
year. while there is the usual preva-
lcnce Of bunnies and chicks
From huge basket filled with flow
ers, all made OF candy shaded to match
the natural colors of the things repre-
sented, to costly handmade land hand
painted satin cases to hold confec-
tions, one runs a gamut of everything
imaginable that holds any suggestion
of the Eastertide season.
