VIVA. Harrison Said About Withdrawing.


A gentleman who enjoys the most intimate relations
with President Harrison called at the White House
day during tho past week. The conversation turned
upon tho silver question and the probability of tho pas
sage OF free coinage bill by Congress- The Presidents
visitor urged upon him the great popularity to be gain
ed by signing it well as tho advantages which would
accrue the Republican party by of such eEs,
lation The President listened to his friend patiently
and courteously, and then replied In these terms:
~ am not here for the purpose of acting in tho in.
teres of myself of my party but in tho interest Of
the whole country and the people. When my term is
expect return to Indianapolis and resume the
practice of law"
These declarations were made in tone and manner
characteristic OF President Harrison. and which indi
Gated plainly 10 his friend that he had thought long
and deeply tho subject and had made up his mind
Having arrived at deliberate determination in this
way the Presidents decision is unalterable 1t cannot
DO shaken by personal appeals nor can he DO driven
from It by partisan considerations.

No Fools They.

A noticeable bit Of politics, which is Of
course highly satisfactory to Republicans
and ought to furnish useful instruction to
good many Democrats, Is to be found In the
Republican party's dealing in Congress with
the overwhelming subject Of silver. Their
silver plank In the 1888 platform was one OF
very liberal possibilities:
The RepublI can party Is In favor Of both gold and Sill
yer money. and condemns the policy Of the Demo
cratic Administration in It's efforts to silver"
Short as it was, 1t was an Unreasonable
volume in contrast with the utter silence by
the Democrats on this topic.
Damn silver" said the Hon. HENRY
WATTERsoN during the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. absorbed in the thought
OF preserving the gilded robe Of tho Star.
Eyed Goddess unspotted by the duller metal.
And, in accordance with the principles Of the
Administration, silver was damned with 81
lence as effectively as though the CLEvE-
LAND letter had been put in the platform.
Under the Republican proposition any leg
islation from merely increased friendliness
to silver to absolutely free coinage. might
be Justified. But when the subject comes to
be debated in Congress. and the controlling
forces OF the party have prepared silver BILL
Is there anything heard on their side Of read
ing their colleagues who don't like 1t and
who vote against 1t out Of the party2 Is
there cry OF outraged amazement and holy
indignation in the Republican press against
all Republicans who refuse to think accord
ing to the dictates OF the majority? Is there
howl for their expulsion?
In 1887, after the Democratic FREQ traders
had offered the grossest and most treach-
erous violation Of their platform as the
party programme, they manifested no
purpose so fierce or 80 noisy as that OF
driving the hitherto dominating wing of
Democracy, the protectonists. out Of every
possible connection with the party they had
at last raised to power
The result Of that crusade was recorded In
the Democratic history OF 1888. At the pres
ent and for the future the Republican mag
mates have this Incompatible advantage
over the Democratic statesmen who found
themselves in a similar concentration Of
circumstances, but who took 80 different
method for dealing withit
The Republicans are not fools.

He Wants tho Facts Again.

THE SUN is more than most Journals dis
inclined to stop for erroneous views Of
Its conduct offered by misunderstanding
critics, but We will have word with one
such, If only for his inviting discussion on
point about which we are peculiarly con-
WINGED that we are right. A Mr.. HENDRIX
OF Boston writes:
"hha matter of regret to many old and warm ad
mirrors OF Tax sUs that It AksS such cd par.
iAn interest in baso ball matters in favor OF tho Ma
tonAl League and against the Players League. Why
Is this We expect fair play from TmE sUS."
There Is one issue upon which THE Sun Is
most vigorously partisan, and that il the
national game OF base ball; We are for its
interests as against Its permanent or tenn
porary enemies every time. If Mr.. HENDRIX
will look again, he will SEQ that all other
craftsmanship which he thinks he has observed
In this matter Is that which has been reused
in his own breast through THE Suns ilnpar
tial presentation OF the existing highly I'M
satisfactory facts. II he, from one sentiment
or another attaching more Importance to the
fortunes OF the new League than to base ball
thinks that n statement Of the case points
against his wishes. no must blame the case
and not THE SUN.
We have not based our comparison of the
national game In lss9with what 1t is to-day
upon such secondary consideration as the
ngures OF attendance; or upon their evidence
