IN prEEsENcE to Mr. Cleveland's anti.

In REFERENCE to Mr. CevelsnG's anti
silver letter, written during the last session
of Congress, the editor of Beford's Aoga-
zine saws: SIT is safe to say that, under the
circumstances, there was bat one man in
the country who would have written It..
Important interests were at stake
and the time bad come for his voice to De
heard. The interests involved were
those of the democratic party" The eoitor
ia right. OF all the millions OF democrats IN
the couatry M. Cleveland ia the orly one
who would have written that letter, a. tns'
tine. The Infamous Force bill. the passage
of which meant destruction to the South ana
ruin to the democratic party, was then De-
fore Congress, and the only way By waicn
1t couid be defeated was to secure the votes
O; the silver republican Senator's. Inose
Senators were already being denounced py
their own party for what then Was their
,ouivocal position on the bill referred to,
and but for the promised unanimous dem o.
cratic support of the silver bill they Wouio
sssuredIy have voted with their own parry
on the Force bill. 1. was just that most IL
opportuoe time that Mr.. Cleveland selected
for writing his letter. intended to induce
democratic Senators to vote against the Sill
YER bill, and thereby necessarily drive the
silver republican Senators away from their
support and provoke them to vote with
their own party on the Force bill. Inc
naked letter ia approved by most wise men,
hut 1t naver could have been written at
worse time. Ex-senator Eaton says, at that
particular time, much as he is opposed to
deprecated currency, he would have voted
for lead dollars rather than run the rick OF
losing the support OF the silver republican
Senators in the effort TO defeat the Force
bill, and every other democrat, except MIR.
Cleveland, would have done like him. Yes,
Mr.. Cleveland is the only man who would
have written the letter at the time he did
write it, and why he did SO has not yet been
