Coke on Cleveland.
Special to the Gazette.
WAsHiNGroN, Dec. l0.-Senator Coke
said to your correspondent to-day con.
cerhing the message, that although he
differs utterly from the president on the
silver question, yet the message was
otherwise an able state paper. This may
be taken as iair reflex of the public
ntterances of legislators, who are known
TO hold very pronounced views, but who
refrain from expressing themselves. This
opposition cannot be long concealed. ana
will show itself shortly in very forclble
manner. The advocates of silver coinage
condemn the president for his stand. and
say he has simply repeated the old and
worn-out arguments Of Wall street, but
Democrats'as rule, who differ with the
president, are not inclined to express
their antagoniSm publicly, while some
Republican senator's. who agree with
| him, hesitate TO declare their APPRECIATION
in print lest 1t might displease their cou-
stltuents. The West and South
favor OF silver, and therefore
are ready TO oppose the presidents
recommendation on that question while
sustain the president, but among those
who believe that silver coinage should be
| stopped, the opinion prevails that moth
ing In that direction eau be accomplished
| in this congress. The silver men clearly
seem to be IN the majority in both houses
and unless something shall occur tending
to demonstrate that the presidents fears
OF financial trouble are well founded the
silver dollar will continue to be coined
J for two years at least.
| SENATOR VAN WICK SAYS
| there has been no change OF sentiment in
the West adverse to silver, that II ANYTHING
the dollar OF the 'daddlesr is stronger in
that r gion than ever before. Senator
Wilson of Maryland agrees with the
president and thinks there Is a growing
! sentiment in his section against the con.
tinued coinage OF silver.
With regard TO the tariff utterance OF
the president, the tariff reformcrs are
dissatisfied They think the executive
HAS NOT GONE FAR ENoUGH
in his recommendation of tariff reduction
The more moderate men, including some
protoctonists who think some re.
duction can be made, applaud the presi-
dents position, 1t is claimed for the eN.
ecptive that he is in line with the last
Democratic platform upon the tariff.
THE COMMITTEE or THE HOUSE
cannot be appointed until alter the rules
are adopted, as the Importance OF several
of the committees will probably be affect.
ed by the laws of the house decided upon
The impression is pretty general that Mr.
Morrison's plan or something similar tc
il will be reported by the committee, and
If that plan is adopted by the house, al
least one man having some knowledge OF
appropriations will have TO be placed on
each OF the committees among which the
appropriations are distributed. From
the makeup OF the committees, il
Is Judged that they will recommend
the distribution of the appropria-
ton bills, and practically everything
else contained IN the Morrison resolution,
Mr.. Randall will be the only one TO OPP
pose the resolution in the committee, and
it will probably stand four to one for a
change of the rules, and Mr.. Randall Will
be likely TO bring in a minority report
The sentiment in the house seems To be
| favorable to a change OF the rules, but
quite strong, and possibly successful,
opposition to the distribution OF the APP
preparations is likely TO spring up.
REPUBLICAN KIcKERs.
Senator Cullom aud Congressman
Plumb OF Illinois called on the president
yesterday TO express their views as "a
presidential appointments. They told
! the president that they could not vote "a
confirm his nomination for the StreatoI
lpostofilce, and told him OF certain charges
against the nominee. The president
listened atteutlvely, thanked the gentle
men for coming, and said that he would
thoroughly investigate the case, and II
they had been correctly informed as TO the
person referred TO, his name would not
be sent TO the senate for confirmation.
