Show She nil uii'h 1'olley. New York, 17. Tribune's editorial: Tbe country will be reassured in a measure by Sherman's declarations that the rescinding ol the order iu re gard to silver resumption is a change ot method and not ol policy; that tlie Maine election has nothing to du with it; that he has not abandoned his principles, aud determined to take no steps backward. He still believes he has a right to exchange silver sil-ver dollars for greenbacks prior lo the date of redempiion in gold, but has folt constraint d to defer to the judgment of lawyers ol "eminentability." It is needless to say tbe counsel of these gentlemen of "eminentability" should have tieen eohciied before too policv of silver resumption was definitely announced. Tne secretary u evidently uHitlf-rt by tbe criticism to which he has been ex post-d. He should btinr io mind this abrupt aud seemingly unuHCerisary change ol base was ellected in the very face of an enemy that was flushed with victory in Maine. |
