THE CURRENCY QUESTION is the sall-nbsorbing topic, and mny bo best doseribod in tho word *mixod” Tho party is evidently nfraid to compromiso themsolves in tho issue with the¢ Prosident, and tho sontiments oxpressed by tho delegatos would fudicato a desire to save tho organization at any cost, which would mean a straddlo-tho-fenco policy, somothing like that adoptod by the Farmers' Convention. There are undoniably o grent many out-and-out inflation- ists horo, but the hard-money men and tho com- promige men appear to be sulicicnlly strong to throw out ony_infintion-plank that might bo introduced. During iho day, tho tond- ency was docidedly intlational, but the Intely-nrrived dolegates do not moom Qisposed to commit _ tho Ropnblican party to any euch policy, Tho talk hore i of reitorating thoe Republican platforms of 1868 and 1872, and it i not improbablo that this pro~ gramme will bo adopted, although nobody liero appears to doubt that Benator Loenn will do his utmost to be mdorsed by the Convention. Tho Henator, it is woll known, i3 all londed with au inflation spooch, which, no doubt hio will get an opportunity for firing off to-mor, row before tho Convention. 5 100AN INTERVIEWED.

Bsnator Logan—I have. I don't wish to sey anything sbout it to-night—in fact, may not vay & word on the pubjaot at all in publio. Reporter—It is understood pretty thoroughly ihat you are going to mmko s speoch on the question to-morrow. Sonotor( With a most innocont nir)—Is it? Woell, Imay not have an opportunity, If tho dologates dosiro to hear mo, of course I shall not disappoint them. I would Hike to oblige Tu TRIBUNE, but have nothiug to say about the our- roucy to-night. The Bonator wna then engulpned in an avalunche of politicians, Mr, Farwell was slso intorrogated but,declined to any anything till he saw furtkier dovelopments oy to the probable policy of tho Convention.
