At The meeting Of the City Council yester-
day n nessage from tho Mayor was read
vetoing the resolution Of the Council of the
Inst meeting awarding the contract to do the
city printing to the DEMOCRAT. After some
discussion, IL will be seen by the official pro-
weddings In another column, the Council
passed tho resolution over the veto of the
Mayor by vote of six 10 one. In his mes
Rage the Mayor speaks in very compliments
ny terms Of the manner In which tho DEM
pURAT executed the contract last year and
NO are pleased ut the very friendly tone of
The message generally.
Tho Mayor took a view of his duty in this
matter, different from that of the six Admins
fTators who voted for the DEMOCRAT, but we
are entirely satisfied that his action was
prompted by conscientious motives. His ae-
lion, therefore, has not changed our relations
To him In the least, and he may in the future,
~ In the past, rely upon our support In all
measures ON which we agree with him. The
DEMOCRAT, rs gracefully as 1t Gun, touches its
chapeau to the gentlemen Of the Council who
were complimentary enough to believe that
they could vote for the DEMOCRAT and serve
Tho public interest Mt the same time No high
ssr compliment could be paid public journal,
and we assure them that we are very proud

We invite attention to the correspondence
an another column between u number of large
taxpayers and the attorneys Of the consoi-
dated bondhoders. II is idle 10 say that such
mon ne theattorneys In this case are ignorant Of
tho purposes of their clients. or would speak
without authority from them. or could be
used by them to dupe the public The case Of
these bondholders should be determined by
The courts upon Its real merits. When that is
done, Ii the decision Is in favor of the bond
holders II ID absurd to suppose that they will
exact more than what Is 80 clearly embraced
In their proposition.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes from Cleveland warning the people Of
tho East not to ,inderrate the strength Of the
silver movement. "There seems still to be an
1doa prevalent i'm that section" he says,
s'that II Is confined largely to political dema-
Rpgties, and takes no deep root among the
people This Ia serious mistake. The
movement has assumed the proportions OF u
great popular fanaticism." The correspond
rnt then goes on TO show the limits of the
shilver del,ision," rs he calls 1t, and confesses
that Il holds dominion over at least two-thrds
III the West and South. Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio are. he declares, the strongest silver
centres
In Cincinnati only one paper In half a dozen
II opposed to the silver bill, while the country
press Of the State unanimously favor 1t, as
does also thatof Indiana. The Chicago papers
are about equally divided on the subject,
while the country press of Illinois, without
distinction of politics, want silver remon-
etixed. Summing up, the correspondent ad-
mtts that from the Pacific to the Allegheny,
with the exception Of Michigan and possibly
wisconsin, the whole Of the West favors the
romonetization OF the silver dollar.
The correspondent, Of COURSE admits the
6outh solid for silver, and yet he was scarcely
aware how solid the South was on this ques-
43Cn.
There Ia, probably, not Southern paper
u~tslde OF New Orleans that has opposed the
silver bill. The country press of Louisiana
mi Mississippi are certainly unanimous for
silver. and not go In q lukewarm or Indifferent
manner, but theoretically and aggressively.
II Vas the demand Of many Of the papers Of
Mississippi that the reconciliation OF silver
ahould be a plank OF the Democratic plat
1orm Of that State, and while this was not
lone at the late election, for several reasons,
- viii probably be made an issue in all future
oontests.
The confession made by the Tribune, a
7iI resentative Of the bondholders, shows the
nulAr character OF the silver movement.
NJ Il strength and force Is easily explained,
