REEDS RIVALS.

His River and Harbor and Silver

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-Some of the op-

be made through his record in the House as
given in the Congressional Record, for
proof of the charge which they are making
in dealing with southern and western men,
that Mr.. Reed is strongly committed in op-
position both to river and harbor improve
ments, and to any extension Of silver coin.
age. His speeches and votes on these ques-
tions are being collected, so as to be placed
in the hands Of the members as they arrive
next week.
THEORY OF THE OPPOSITION.
The theory of the mon who are at work
on this is that no southern or western men
could afford to vote for any candidate who
took such views, especially as both enlarged
river and harhor appropriations and the
extension of silver coinage are to be urged
by the representatives of the south and west
in the coming congress. Mr.. Cannon said
to-day when asked about the attempt to in-
jure Mr.. Reeds canvass: "Yes, have heard
that it is going on, but want it distinctly
understood that have had nothing to do
with it,"
Similar denials will be forthcoming from
Mr.. Reeds other rivals Mr.. Mckinley, who

TIL PRESIDENTS LETTER.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
Jan. 24-John n. White, Esq, Secre-
tdry-DEAR SIR: | have received an inyi-
tation of the Tariff Reform League to be
present at a convention of tariff rcformers
to be held in Chicago. / have also read
the circular of the league accompanying
the invitation In which the objects and
purposes of the convention are specifically
set forth. The scheme of practical and
efficient work therein describes and meets
with my hearty approval and promises, if
honestly adhered to, the most valuable
aid and the furtheranee of a cause which
is very near to the interests and welfare of
our people. The danger which we have
to guard against is the misleading of our
countrymen by specious theories, cunning
ly contrived. and falsely offering to the
people relief from the present burdens
and the legitimate expense necessary to
secure the benefits of a benefcient rule
under the sanction OF free institutions.
The declared purposes of your league
will not be attained until all those inter
ested in TIE economic question which is
now pressed upon their attention are freed
from all the sophistries and cloudlng fall
lacies, and until the subject of tariff re-
form Is presented to them as a topic in.
volying the relief of the plain people of
the land in their homes from useless and
unjust expense. The question is a simple
and plain one and needs but to be fairly
presented to be understood. 1t is the
positive duty of your organization to guard
the people against deception. My ex-
IRENE interest IN the work which your
league has undertaken and in the express
object of the proposed convention would
lead me to accept your invitation If it
were it possible to do SC. But my public
duties here positively prevent such accept
ance.
Hoping that the convention will be
very successful. and with an earnest wish
for tie prosperity and success of your
league in its efforts 10 enlighten and bene-
fit the people, | am, yours very truly,
(Signed.) GROVER CLEVELAND.
The letter was received with great APP
plause, and after its reading routine bust
ness was taken up.
