NEw YonK, December 5.-The Tribums's
Warrington special on the Presidents
message says: "The moro the silver men
read the financial portions Of the message,
the moro they are discouraged. They find
that when the President ZONES 10 express
his opinions In his own words that no
uses much stronger language than was at.
tributed to him by tho opponents Of the
Bland silver bill. and tho expression Of
which they have so persistcntly denied.
There Ia no longer any discussion as to
what the President will do with any silver
bill which contains provisions making
silver dollars unlimited legal tender or
authorizing payment Of any part OF the
principal or interest Of tho public debt In
the dollar OF the fathers. The resumption
repeal men are also very much discour-
aged. They now fear that under the in
fiuencs Of the strong position taken by the
President and Sherman, the repeal OF the
bill may not eyen pass Congress. They
admit that II IL should do 90 they no longer

Lamar and other conservative Southern
men say the success Of the Presidents
paciication policy will have . very marked
effect upon the sentiment Of the South on
financial questions. They say they have
no personal sympathy with the wild ideas
Of the intiationists and silver men, and
that II there 10 any principle Of Democracy
that was ever settled II II that hard money,
and hard money only. should DO the basis
Of the currency Of tho country. At tho
same time their constituents are almost
unanimously In favor Of the repeal OF the
resumption act and the rcmonoti-
nation Of silver. and II will DO
