WASHINGTON, November 3, 1S93-Ex-
Speaker Reed, replying to the assertion
made by Representative Bryan, OF
Nebraska. that il was apparent that the
democratic platform did not mean what
the people thought it did, or that those
who made it did not intend to carry into
effect it's declarations, said he told Mr.
Bryan some time ago that he would
learn the difference between promise and
performance by the democrats when he
came to test the matter. Speaking for
himself Mr.. Reed said he had no doubt
the Ct u lry was better off whenever the
democratic party disappointed it. The
trouble with the country said Mr.. Reed.
'lies deeper than the money panic. 1t is
due to doubt az to the policy OF the
democratic policy upon the tariff, and l
expect great manufacturing depression
to continue during this winter, dispite
the passage OF the (Voorhees repeal bill"
A great many people who worked hard to
secure the passage OF the Voorhees, bill
are now acknowledging that they do not
expect such great benefits thereform and
that they wished the purchase Of silver
stopped to prevent things from growing
worse rather than because they thought
it would make them grow very much
better.
The Voorhees, bill was signed by Mr..
Cleveland within an hour after it passed
the House. falsifying the democratic
prediction made on the floor Of the Senate
II few days ago. that the President would,
in favor Of the use OF silver us money
contained in the bill, not sign it, but
would allow it to became law without
his signature. Mr.. Cleveland's dislike OF
silver is well known. but there are few
who believed that he would be impoltic
enough TO further advertise that dislike
by declining to sign the bill. course that
would have further aggravated the silver
men. without benoti,ing anybody.
Another diplomatic position purchased
by Il dem mocratic campaign contribution
last year. was this week partially deliver
ed by the nomination OF another Amer.
ican who spends more than three.fourths
OF his time in Europe. The man is james
Roosevelt the place. Secretary Of the U.
8. embassy to Great Britain, and the
price $4,000. The nomination has not
yet been confirmed. but AS the nomicc is
. brother. in law OF 10000 Van Allen,
h. ali ,t, h.. ash
day. there Is no reason for doubling that
II will be in due time. The democratic
idea Of making things cheap apparently
docs not include places in the diplomatic
service. Perhaps il Mr.. Hornblower
could have shown a receipt for big
campaign contribution his nomination to
tho Supreme Court would not have been
"hung up" so long.
The administration has developed
bad case OF crank scare since the assassi
nation OF Mayor Harrison, OF Chicago.
Ever since Mr.. Cleveland was inagurated
his every move outside OF his private
apartments has been watched by private
detectives. and this week the force Of
ueuStlNee nhh DeeH upuDitu SbnuenoW
the idea has got out that Mr.. Cleveland
has morbid fear Of assassination at the
hands Of some crank.
II begins to look as though the Senate
would soon make some radical changes
In its rules. which have remained practic.
ally unchanged for more than three.
quarters of a century. Several amend.
mcnts have already been offered and the
sentiment Of the Senators seems to be in
favor Of a change that will give u major.
ity the right to decide when measure
has been sufficiently debated and to order
q vote thereon.
Tho administration is just now occupy.
ing very ticklish position in Its dealings
with the revolution in Brazil and the
relations Of several European powers
thereto. A false step may lead to war.
