repeal without a j;uarantecol silver as

Washington, Aug. 1-1. The President
has returned to Gray Gables, after spend
ing a week in Washington. Before leav
ing he made the following statement for
publication :
"My absence from tbe capital at tbis
time may excite some surprise in view
of my intense interest in the subject now
amaiting the determination of Congress.
Though my views aud recommendations
have already been officially submitted to
that body and though I am by no means
certain I should further add in bringing
about the result which seems so neces
sary, it would be a great satisfaction to
me if I could remain at tbe scene of ac
tion. But whether I am here or else
where, 1 shall look with hope and con
fidence to the action of those upon whom
the responsibility now rests of relieving
our people from their present dangers
and difficulties.
"I am going back to my summer home
at the seashore because 1 am not suffi
ciently rested from the strain to which
I have been subjected since the 4th of
March to fit me to again assume the du
ties and labors which await me here. 1
have been counselled by those whose ad
vice I cannot disregard that tbe further
rest 1 contemplate is absolutely neces
sary to my health and strength. I shall
remain away during the month of Au
gust, and shall devote myself to rest and
outdoor recreation. My doings will be
devoid of interest to the public, and 1
shall be exceedingly pleased if 1 can be free
from the attentions of newspaper corres
pondents.
