THE SENTIMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-Philadelphia
political leaders are deeply interested in
Mr. Cleveland's letter opposing the free
coinage of silver. Congressman elect
William McLeer, who succeeds MIR. VauX
in Randalls old district, thinks that if
a nomination was to be made next
week, the publication of such letter
might be expected to seriously damage Mr..
Cleveland in the west, although it would
undoubtedly strengthen him in the east. So
many things, however, may occur between
now and the time a nomination is made,
that he cannot tell accurately just what
the effect will be.

John Huggard, one of the most promi-
nent Democratic leaders in the state said
1.-THE publication of the letter shows
Cleveland to be one Of the bravest politi-

strengthen him among eastern Democrats
although at the same time it may slightly
weaken him among certain classes of poll
ticians in the west"
JOHN CoDwALLADER.
John Codwallader, ex-collector of the
port, is of the opinion that MIR. Cleveland:
letter will strengthen him considerably
among eastern politicians and the people
generally who have the welfare of tn,
