longed-f0r letter from Mr.. Cleveland. 1t
was written on the day of Mr.. Stevenson's
nomination and reached the Bloomington
postofiice on the 25th of June. 1t conveyed
Mr.. Clevelands hearty and cordial con-
gratulatlons and an expression of his de-
light and satisfaction that Mr.. Stevenson
had been nominated to be his running
mate. While Mr.. Stevenson was reading
this letter yesterday another letter from
Mr.. Cleveland was handed him inviting
him and his family to visit the Clevelsnds
at Gray Gables. Mr.. Stevenson will accept

the lateness of the hour at which the order

Minority Report on the Silver Bill.


WASHINGTON. July 1O.-Representativ
Charles w. Stone of Pennsylvspia, on be-
half of the minority of the House coinage
committee. has prepared the draft Of q re-
port in opposition to the Senate free
coinage bill. The report Will be sub
mitted to the othor members of
the minority for their approval tomorrow.
The chief points of objection which the
report Will urge against the bill are, that
it is exceedingly crude and clumsy in its
construction and uncertain in it's effects;
that the repeal OF the act of 1890
carries with It the discredit of $780,
COO. 600 treasury notes outstanding;
that though the notes will still be
receivable for customs and dues to the
government, the desire of the people TO get
rid of these las evidenced by the fact that
nearly one-half of the customs dues col
lected at New York last month were paid
in snch notes. will lead to rapid contrac-
ton of the currency; that there Is no
bullion in the Treasury answer
ing the description of that pur-
chased with silver certificates, and
that the passage of the hill will destroy
the hope of any practical results from the
proposed international monetary confer
ence. The plan Of campaign of the anti
silver men against the bill is not yet finally
decided upon. 1t is thought, however.
