Dr.TKoiT, Mich., May II Ex-Post master General Don M D.ck r.son, replying to the strictures of Seuutor Vest and other free silver men as to the alleged corruption of the late Democratic Htate convention by office holders, denies that Mr Stevenson (Dickson's law partner) or any body else issued a circular to officeholder* in connection with the convention. Through free silver congressmen, lie says, free silver men were put in all the offices of their iHs tricts, and in both county and state conventions outnumbered the Olliers two to one. According to the law the places of delegates could not be filled proxies, as stated by Mr Vest. 'I be Hi to 1 men never had a majority of the delegates elected and the talk of the use of money by file sound money men is “pure and unadulter ated slander and lib* I.” If any money was used, It was in behalf of a free silver syndicate, organized and ex isting outside of this slate and furnishing money to carry on the campaign in this stale In conclusion, he says: "I am proud to »ay the party in this Htate is prop erly represented by its delegation to Chicago and in favor, by an over whelming majority, of maintaining the pledges of Congress on this ques tion whenever there lius been sliver legislation since '73, tiiat the policy of this government is to maintain the purity of tha metals.
