IT'S VERY FUNNY.

What an infinity of fun in certain
members of the democratic press. AS
long as Cleveland was supposed to be
friendly towards free silver coinage,
every democratic paper in Missouri was a
red hot silver organ, and never a doubt
rolled across the peaceful breasts of the
editorial fraternity, but that the free COIN
mage of the dear old ssdollar If the dad
dies" was wholly and entirely demo-
cratic, fit theme for their eloquence, q
subject worthy their supremest fervor.
Then came Mr.. Cleveland's letter t O
the reform club of New York, in which he
pronounced SO unequivocally against the
free, unlimited and independent coinage
of silver. What commotion it stirred
up. All ut once the wind veered and
commenced blowing from another di-
r%ection. To huff, to change about, to
tack, to flop, was the order of the day,
with many of these nimble newspaper
men and how quickly did they reverse
themselves. All at once it became heresy
to insinuate that the people wanted sill
yer money treason, to intimate that Mr..
Cleveland could possibly be mistaken in
his views, or that there could be error in
his Judgment.
But a few steady newspapers held
out for that quality of democracy that
would restore to the people their con
stitutional rights to silver coinage, and
there threatened TO be division. To
avert the dire calamity Treasurer
Stephens, while in New York, called
on Mr.. Cleveland to tell HIM how
things were going to wreck in the
great state of Missouri. But before
~etherealizing in the great presence he
informed an old newspaper friend he
found lettering around the hotel corri-
ders, that he was going to interview
Mr.. Cleveland on the silver question,
and would meet him (the newspaper
man) and tell him all about it. Lon
vented, vidied and vincied, so to speak,
and it was a charming story he had to
tell the New York newspaper Mr..
Cleveland was reported as being no
longer the foe of silver, and though he
didn't intend to climb any hills until
he came to them, or they to him, he
Woulu HOt stamp Oue u biniu uolini,
and frankly admitted that he had erred
in his judgment concerning silver legis-
lation once before, and confessed that
~exigencies might arise in a few years
that would make it very desirable to
coin all the silver we could get hold of.
Well, the newspaper man wrote it
down and very naturally had it printed
in an afternoon paper. The paper
soon made its appearance upon the
streets, and for the next three hours
the telegraphwires were kept red hot
telegraphing the interview all over tho
country.
The next day those democratic
papers of Missouri, hat the week before
had been so sure that free silver coin
age was a great peril to the country,
caught on, and with what avidity did
they raise up their voices and yelp for
for free silver coinageP
If some one could only induce Mr..
Cleveland to assent, that in his opinion,
the moon is made of green cheese,
there would be Il double score of Mis-
souri, editors in whose mind the
elements of lunar construction wonld
be forever settled.
