Mr. Cleveland's letter opposing the free
coinage of silver places him in antagonism
10 the democracy of the west, which is
argely favorable to free coinage, and Will
most certainly lose him the support OF
what are known as the silver states. Fer
sonally, | am with the Democratic party
Of Missouri, which has already pronounced
on the side of free coinage. In my opinion.
the silver coinage question will not be OF
Importance to defeat his Eomlna-
ton.
RUFUS j. LoCKLAND.
Rufus J. Lockland-I cannot see but
that Cleveland has increased rather than
his chances for 1892 by his let
ter. True, he may lose for a time the sup
port of d few western enthusiasts, but pc
fore long his position will be unanimously
endorsed.
THE SENTIMENT IN MINNESOTA.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 14.-Almost without ex-
ception leading Democrats of Minnesota, so
far as their views could be ascertained to-
day, are in accord with the sentiments ex-
pressed by Grover Cleveland.
CHAIRMAN W. W. CAMPBELL.
William w. Campbell, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee
think Cleveland is sound on the silver ques-
ton. His expression at this time, l think,
viii improve rather than hurt his chances
for nomination.
j. W. WILLIS.
]. w. Willis-No party can afford to dis
regard the teachings and example OF a
chieftain like Grover Cleveland. His
chances for denomination at the hands OF
the democracy are not impaired by his ad-
herence to sound finance.
CHICAGO DEMOCRATS.
CHICAGO, Feb. 14-Said Clarence S. Oar
row, assistant corporation counsel, and the
most active leader among the young Demo-
cratic element Of the state: II believe In
Mr.. Cleveland's thorough sincerity, but il
the free coinage bill does not become law
before his administration, his declaration
will probably hurt his chances. If it be-
comes law before that time, there will be
no undesirable results"
Ex-CoUNTY ATTORNEY EWING.
Ex-County Attorney Ewing is political
leader OF much sagacity and is an IN
swerving believer in the reascendancy
of the ex-President. ''Mr. Cleveland has
made excellent his chances for renomina-
ton and return to the White House," he
said. 81 have been talking to many Demo
Gratis to- day on the subject and they have
all expressed the belief that Mr.. Cleveland
has immeasurably strengthened himself
VIEWS OF INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-The stand which
exPresident Cleveland has taken against the
free coinage of silver has created q great
deal of comment in loca. political circles
and many of the staunchest friends Of the
ex-Presldent are loud in condemnation Of
his utterance. They claim that he ha;
placed himself in his letter squarely II
opposition to western sentiment to west
ern interests, and has emphasized the ne
cessity of selecting some western man fol
the presidency in 1892. Among the poll
ticians at the capitol to-day, not one coulC
| be found to endorse the views expressed
in his letter, and some went so far as TO con
| denim them in unmeasured terms. For thu
first time in Cleveland's prominency, thu
Republicans are praising his sentiment!
and are haunting the Democrats with tn,
/ charge that their greatest leader is open
| ly opposed to their party's policy and il
sympathy with Harrison's well known op
position to free coinage.

I CONSENSUS OF WEST VIRGINIA OPINION.
f eral concensus of opinion of over doz
: leading Democrats of the city was tn
q Cleveland's declaration against free silv
" coinage would seriously weaken him
y West Virginia. West Virginia Democrs
q are committed to free coinage in their sta
platform. and member of the state COZ
mittee said to-day it would be folly for a
man to go before West Virginia on a
:. other issue. The declaration has caus
;. considerable alarm among Mr.. Cleveland
C friends here.
