CLEVELAND IN SILVER.

NEW York, April % 5 ate Treasurer
Stephens, of Missouri, called on ex Pres
ident Cleveland to-day with letter of
introduction from Governor Francis and
other leading Missouri Democrats and
asked him for a statement: q ais present
attitude on the silver .estion in siew OF

''that the Republican party is very de-
strous of making the silver question one
OF the leading issues Of the campaign of
1892, and the question should be L. ken
UP at once.

that the people can be educated up u it

entitled to know how | stood. l have
since received many congrat ulations.
Mr.. Stephens asked Mr.. Cleveland
it elected in 1898 would he
veto a tree coinage bll passed by
by Democratic Congress. Mr.. Oleve-
land replied that if elected in 1898, such
bill would not reach him until 1894
1t is best not to cross bridge until we
come to it. What is bad for the country
now, may be necessary in 1894. As
the volume of business increases it
is necessary to increase the currency,
but changes should be made gradually.
When the $2,O00,O0 month bill was
passed, he feared it would iDjure busi-
ness, but it did no.; and when the pres
ent law for 81, 500, 900 coinage per month
was passed he thought it would drive
gold out of the country; but he had been
mistaken in both these respects and with
the rapid strides the country is max
ing it was impossible to say what tinan
clal measures we may be ready for in
1894 He was still unable to see how
free coinage conld fail to injure the
country. He favored a monetary con-
ference Of all governments to agree upon
a new standard of value.
Mr.. Stephens does not claim that the
above is verbatim statement of what
Mr.. Cleveland said, but he believes it to
be fairly accurate synopsis OF the ex-
Presidents remarks.

remove the shops Of the Raleigh d Gas

farther south. ''It is the purpose, he
said, ito unite the chops of this line
with those of the Carolina Central rail
road al some convenient point on the
line of the Seaboard system where more
space can be had than in Raleigh, The
Carolina Central has very small shops
and as it is necessary to enlarge them 1t
was thought economical to unite the
shops of the two roads. The present
shops in Raleigh will be continued as
repair shops for the Raleigh & CASTOR
road after the change is made. 1t may
be a year or longer before the change is
effected"

1t must be understood that LIT. Gov
JONES is candidate for the Democratic
gubernational nomination, and expects
to be nominated by the vote of the farm
ers of the State. Knowing this fact, Rlt-
tenhouse thought he could make the Lit.
Governor do as he has been doing: "Jones
he pays the freight" But the blackmail-
Ing scheme did not work. After pub
lishin,, the letter the New York Snn says:
Inc.osed in this remarkable episte was
Rittenhouse's card. Below his name was
print ed "Secretary to Col L. l. Polk"
Through the latter line had been family
drawn an almost invisible line with
pen.
Rittenhouse has appeared in a some
what similar light before. There was
the biggest kind of a row a: Ocala 10 De-
cemDor because lt tfaDSp1feO tnat hitten-
house, who was then in fact the private
secretary of President Polk, had been
discovered trying to establish con6den
tial relations with brother Blaine under
the escort Of Coll Dick Hinton. Other
sins were laid at Mr.. Rittenhouse's
door, and he almost became the cause
of serious feud between some of the
national officers of the order. He ceas-
ed to be Polk's secretary on the first of
the year, but be still lays claim to that
gentleman's confidence aud support. In
the light of Rittenhouse's last exploit,
President Polk will probably feel called
upon to specify just what his relations
are with his former secretary. The al
lance delegates who meet at Hornells
vile next Wednesday to organize a
State Alliance will naturally be inter
ested to hear from headquarters about
this remarkable political correspondence.
For it is said that the letter received by
Jones is not the only one of a similar
import which has been sent to supposed
gubernatorial candidates in New York.
It is said that Roswell P. Flowers NAL!
contained one not long ago.
