stroke OF the pen he has disposed of all the |
chatter and babble about his candidacy and |
mas made his nomination by the Democratic |
party impossible That he has taken this |
step deliberately after giving the matter !
due consideration, we have no doubt. Nor |
have we any doubt he knew what the effect |
of the letter would be. The conclusion is
inevitable that Mr.. Cleveland is not and
has not been a candidate for denomination |
and he has taken this method of so assuring |
hevDemocrtic party"
IN COLORADO.
DENVER, Feb. 14.-The anti-free coinage
letter. of ex-President Cleveland created
widespread comment in the city. The pub
lie in general were not so much surprised
at the contents of the letter, as that Cleve-
land should have written On the question at
all, in view of the strong silver feeling in
the west and southwest.
THOMAS j. o'DoNNELL.
Thomas J. O'Donnell, late Democratic
candidate for Congress, said: "The Demo
cratic party is unalterably committed to
the free coinage of silver. l don't see how
the party, without StuItifying itself, can
nominate man who disagrees with it on
SO important and vital question. The
| party will undoubtedly in the next Con-
| gress vote to have free coinage"
ATroRNBY-GENERAL YANPIN.
| Joseph Yanpin, attorney general, said:
| 81 have always been a Cleveland man, but
Ii this letter is genuine, [ am opposed 10
his nomination in 1890. 1t ruins him not
only in Colorado, but in all the western
| states, which are unit for free coinage,
and which will demand the nomination of
candidate friendly to silver"
OPINION IN KANSAS.
TOPEKA, Feb. 13.-President Clevelands
declaration against free coinage has not
increased his popularity with the new fac
ton now in control of the politics of Kan
sas The farmers in this state, as class
are in favor of unlimited coinage and a
more abundant circulating medium, and
are Indifferent whether such result is OBJ
tanned through Republican or Democratic
sources.
DIR. s. F. NELLY.
DR.. S. F. Nicely, Democratic member of
the legislature from Lesvenworth county,
said he regarded Cleveland as the ablest
[ and safest man the Democrats can nomi-
nate in 1892 His attitude on the silver
+ question will make him stronger in the east
, and will not materially weaken him in the
west.
[ SENATOR CARROLL.
Senator Carrall, of Leavenworth, says
''If free silver it to be plank in the Demo
, cratic platform, the letter simply eliminates
Mr.. Cleveland from the list of candidates
in 1892. The letter will have the effect OF
= causing the Democrats to cast around
= for a new leader. 1t looks very much as
: though public opinion will now drift in the
direction of the dashing New York leader
; Governor Hill.''
