Press opinion. concerning the
Same.
San Francisco Bulletin (Rep.)
On the silver question the President is
quite set In his views. This was ome
thing to be expected. Upon this topic
there Ia supposed to be agreement between
the President and Mr.. Tilden. There is
some trace OF special pleading in what the
former has to say on the general subject
which cannot be considered now.
On the Chinese question the President
says that he ID prepared to give earnest
consideration" 10 any measure I" within
the treaty" intended to perfect restriction.
The reference he makes to the restriction
Of Chinese in Canada and elsewhere shows
that his mind has outgrown Eastern
narrowness, which ascribes ell the anti
Chinese sentiment to the Sand Lot OF
San Francisco. The President, however,
has evidently been misinformed as to the
condition OF affairs In Wyoming, the scene
Of the recent deplorable killing Of some
Chinese. He sscribes 1t oil to the opposi-
ton to the Chinese Of alien residents. But

the general facts. 1t 10 admitted shat all

The vote In favor Of immigration was only

San FrGncisco Chronicle (Rep.)
On the silver questions he reafirms the
doctrines Of the Warner letter. and ad.
vises the repeal Of the Bland Act. to the
end that the Mint shall be relic we'd from
the necessity Of coming silver dol
lars which the country docs not want"
and that the National Banks shall have an
opportunity OF increasing their ~circuls-
tion. No reference il made to the cause
OF the recent appreciation OF gold. nor Ia
there any sllusiou TO the obstacles which
have been thrown in the way OF the cir.
c~nlstion Of silver dollars by officers OF the
Governments. On the contrary he who
reads between the lines OF this part OF the
message will readily discern that there ia
an irrepressible conflict between the notes
isaued by National Banks and the stand.

and that Mr.. Cleveland 10 on the side OF
the banks in the fight. The announce
ment will create the less concern In the
country. Is II must be evident to all famil-
lar with the present condition OF political
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland does not speak
for his party, and that Congress will not
accept his lead In this, or in some other
matters on which he exercises his con.
ssitu.ional privilege of making recon-
mendstions.

It's general tone cannot fail to satisfy the
public mind. The President ~inclines to .

ton to Congress to join him in an effort to
reach just and wise conclusions, laying
aside the spirit OF par tlsanship. amounts to

The general underlying principles Of the
