NEW YORK, July 20. —Mr. Clark soli was to-day shown the dispatch in the morning papers purporting to quote Senator Quay's words stating that he had decided to re sign the Chairmanship of the Re publican National Committee im mediately after the election. Mr. Cla r kson said : <- lam able to state that this is true. Immediately after the election Senator Quay stated to his colleagues of the Ex ecutive Committee that lie desired to resign as chairman, that he did not desire to do the detail work and have the detail correspondence of a political committee. His colleagues on the committee resisted this, and persuaded him not to resign. He renewed the wish three or four months afterwards, and about the time of the inauguration insisted upon it with a great deal of de termination. The judgment of the committee was opposed to it and they were unanimous in the desire that the organization which had gone through a great struggle, and which had performed a great work, maintaining absolute harmonious relations, and the members becom ing endeared to each other thereby, should remain unbroken until re placed by the new National Com mittee created by the next National Convention of the party. "I can say distinctly that the Senator was very positive in his de sire to retire, and was only changed from hiS purpose by the advice and appeals of his colleagues. His health was frail at times, and he de sired to be rid of the burden super induced by the details of the Na tional Committee, which are much larger in the intervals of a campaign t ban is generally so posed. In the dullest time the chairman of the National Committee receives an average of one hundred letters a day, which he has to answer. When his health failed in the Senate and he went to Fiorida 011 his annual fishing tour, he stated to me his unaltered determination to resign.' Mr. Clnrkson in the interview spok*> in the highest terms of praise regarding Senator Quay, for whom he had a high regard, affection and respect. The ML !■( For 11 Sound C urrency. The Ohio Democratic platform brings the country face to face with silver inflation 011 the old battle field of sound currency—Ohio. The issue is simple, direct and unmistakable. The Republican party in the act of July 14, 1890, planted itself on the sound economic policy of using silver at its market price to the full amount of the American product as a basis of cur rency. Any currency based on metal valued above its market price is by that extra valuo a phantom currency. The one safe basis for currency is a metal taken at its market price in the world's markets. Under present system gold and silver are both thus taken and both used for currency at their market value in the world's markets. The. act under which this is now done was a compromise. It was not altogether satisfactory to those who, think gold—and nothing but gold, and paper payable in gold—is good enough for an American cur rency. But the act suited the sup porters of free silver coinage still less. Its passage was their defeat, just as the passage of the comprom ise resumption act of February, 1875 was also a defeat to inflation. The resumption act did not suit hard money men, but it became the meas ure on which the battle of the re sumption of gold payment was fought and won from 1814 to J879. The like is true to-day of the silver act of 1890. Like the resumption act, it is attacked by the Demo cratic party, beginning with Ohio. The Republican party is its sole de fender. Democratic success will mean its repeal and free silver, just as Democratic success would have meant fifteen years ago the repeal of the resumption act and free green backs. A sound currency is once more at stake in Ohio and later in the national election of 1892. We have no doubt of the result. The Re publican party will win again, as it won before, on the platform of a Round dollar.— -J'/'CSS. MR. GRAHAM'S PLAIN TALK. Ho Explodes the Paresis Story Cireu jated by Bardsley's Friends, There is evidently a movement on foot among: the friends of John Bardsley to secure the sympathy of the pardon board in his behalf bv circulating the story that the ex- City Treasurer's speculations were the result of paresis and that he is no longer of sound mind and likely to break down at any time. Sever al well known physicians have been quoted, who stated that the in chnation to wild speculation was one of the first symptoms of soften ing of the brain. Of these not one ever attended the ex-City Treasurer during his late illness. There seems to be no tangible foundation what ever for the assertion and the gener al opinion among those who ought to know is that the story is a warm weather fake. "There is absolutely no truth whatever in the assertions that Mr. Bardsley has paresis," said District Attorney Graham yesterday, when asked for his opinion. "I can speak positively," he continued, "for I had Mr. Bardsley examined just prior to the trial- It was merely a pre cautionary measure then, and I did not anticipate having such rumors to cope with. My object at the trial was merely to ascertain what the man's true mental condition was. Not knowing what line of defense would be set up, I thought at the time that they might try the insanity plea. If this had been done it would have delayed my case some time if I had not anticipated it and had the prisoner examined." "Who were the physicians that made the examination?" "That I must decline to say. At the time the doctors stated that lie was perfectly sound, both mentally and physically, although suffering at that time from mental prostration." "Do you think that symptoms of paresis have since developed ?" "I do not." "Do you think that the circulation i of these rumors is a ruse to get the prisoner out of jail ?" '•Well, I would not like to answer that." "Will you oppose the effort to get him out of jail on this plea?" "Undoubtedly I will, and those who attempt it will find that they have a dillicult task before them.— Inquirer. Elephants are always dangerous, even when they appear to be per fectly tame. Our democratic friends will do well to remember this, and to beware of the republican elephant; he's a tame animal and ordinarily will stand lots of teasing, but al though not perfectly quiet he is in a lightning mood and before long he will start on the rampage, determin ed to demonstrate his fitness to rule, and woe be unto those so unfortu nate as to attempt to block his pro gress. He is a certain winner and he knows it. Look out for the Re publican elephant. Towns and cities in the state of New York that have passed ordin ances requiring the adoption of broad tired wagons for heavy loads arc delighted over the results. Roads and streets cost but little for pairs and are kept in a nice, smooth condition. The broad tires roll the roads instead of cutting them up and the roadway improves instead of deteriorating. This desired re form cannot be brought about at once, but wheels wear out and they should be replaced always with the broad tire. A number of broad tired wagons are already in use in the vicinity of LaPorte and for heavy hauling no other kind of a wagon should be used. EST ELL A ITEMS. News is scarce and times are dull since the Fourth. Mrs. Frank Rinebold is very sick. Dr. Randall is in attendance. Mrs. H.
