I'.than Allen, chair in in of the national Llhrial Republic in com mittee ha, issued nn address annulling tlieir m1! tor a innvention end lmutily favoiing llui ii anil Wliif.li. i- rllm iIiIlhlal t i t .j 1 th the logical re.,ul ol the Liberal imminent Ala i ( s nuu 'ftjnrt. i nn iuu jr- - - ;i t it that those who still ad here to it should a' thU lime cordially support Hayes and Wheeler. More decided than the platform upon W'llch be stand-", Haves has personally docl ired lor civil service retmiu, lor n return to specie payment it the earliest possible ddv, and for the rule of one term only Jor the Presidency, the iattar principle being found only in the Liberal It-public.1!! platfurin. The chaiac'eis ol the nominees guirautee tile principles they pniCftss. If the Liberals in 1"72 sustained Horace (Jreelev, who was the foremost Ksimb'icaii ol his tiny, because Jib was an unselfish, patient nnd honest min, they must now su-,ta'ii Gov, Haves tor tlie me same reason,. md to do otherwise Mould be inconsistent action. The ontos I on of t ho Liberals has never been agrlust the Repuli llcsu party, ot which they form a pm, but rather against those who unfortunately lor it and the nation Iml c-mtrol ot it discredit, inauguration 172 is a ma! then that tho isting abuses was tirst made by llioe who had before acted nil bin the Republican linos. Subsequent events have more than continu ed the warnings of tho Liberals then given For the past four years they have seen inde pendent voters of all parlies adopt their views, and at tho e'eventh hour they have -seen the Republican party iu convention set in entire harmony with tlie demand of tho Liberals, disregarding machine politicians, so-called, and place in nomination men whoso great distinction is that they are thoroughly honest as well as eapible. The conscience of the nation which, rising above party, ro volted against tho Republican organization In 1372, must now endorse this action. The Liberal movement will bo retnemlmred as evidence that when the hour demands It, tho people are capable of making tho yi rty man agers subservient to their will. The protest ia defiance of parly discipline, as orinlnally made st Cincinnati la 1S72, is proof that the citizens remain faithful to tho honest dis charge of their politU'tl duties, though the party leaders become corrupt,. It only rn. mains) for me to declare, by virtue 'ot the authority given me as bovntljAl. the Lib erol llormtollcans wilt give their hf arty and cordial support, to tho Republican nominees lor the Presidency and Vice Presidency, Hayes and Wheeler.

A Washington special to l he Vi ibunv savs that Mr. McPhersoo, iu examiniiig the ollicial coov oftho Democrat ic platform adopted at St. Louis, in order to prepare a correct copy for his manual, has discovered tno changes in the document as read at St. Louis, which are giving the Dem ocrats much annoyance tirst, one as In the fractional currency plank, Including the part which followed tho charges that legislation by the Republican party had always impelled the Jeturti to specie payment, which was read as follows: ''Such a hindrance we denounce as tho resumpti m clauseot 167", and we here demand Its lepeal." In tbeofliclal copy since prepared, the word "clause" is changed to 'date,"ns tho general understanding that tho repeat demanded was of the entire re sumption clause, which involved much more than the si in Die dale: and as this has h been deliberately changed by. some one in s v m Kimpiy uiHKe li.aruisuu a .onange in dsteJbr resumption-, "without Affecting any of the act It has naturally caused much cote -motion among the faction of the Democrats. Tho other changes in the ollicial cony are in the Moncolian plank. It will be remem bered by alt who were at the St. Louis con vention, or who recall the renort of Droceed- ings, that when Dorsbelmer read the Chinese plank, he omitted that part which he said was in pencil, ami vhkh ho could not read, hutthal tboclerk would when he had finish ed the rest. Thereupon tho California dele callcii insis'ed that it should be read. After some contusion, tlieir demands was comnli td with. This prt was a demand that the present treaty with China should be so mod- ified as to prevent the further importation of diULfcoiinu. mo r.icinc delegates were particularly persistent in demanding that ihis should go into the platform, and it was read and adopted as part of it. .. This plank now has bson lett out entirely.

The leaders in it are those who aro opposed to Tilden's a(endency in the party, and will not hesitate to do injury that will embarrass or ripple him. Tub prospect to-night is that they may sucreed. It cannot be donietl but what Hendricks has tacouraged this movement verv recently, and sine bis meeting with Tilden at Saratoga.

The Josephine follows this afternoon, Col, ungues returning on her to his post. Army officers generally blame Crook for a failure to co-operate with Terry, believing he wae anxious to win laurels without assistance or Interference, but gentlemen but little in terior in rauK insist that crook knows but little of the plans of Indians any nay. and lacks the experience necessary In one com manding an army operating against a wily and i-avago foe. v One of the greatest mistakes in the cam paign is the under estimate nt the number of Sioux and of their disposition to fight.
