THE LETTER.
Editor of the Evening Journal:
Il highly appreciate your kindness
\ and the trouble you tool in answering
M queries in last Thursday's august
| 81 issue, and though l have only on one
occasion taken the opportunity offered
your readers, | will now take the liberty
again and request you to kindly publish
my opinions. | trust you will not refuse,
and in fact [ AM almost sure my request
will not meet any OBJECTIONS, because l
sincerely believe you are not such a par
tisan as 10 rsjsc5 my communication

opinlons. and as my uplnlons Will nos III
any way alter the opinious of any other
believer in Republican principles. 1t Will
certainly do your paper no harm, as they
! emanate from one of entirely opp ositc
political belief. And then again, by pub
isning my eplstle, IL Will give ms an OPP
portunity TO prove to my friends that
your answers to my queries have had no
| effect Oh my ideas or the causes OF the
present financial trouble. Your query
in closing your remarks, Is Mr.. Nc
Culiough answered. | will reply aud
spy Yes according to your IDEAS, but
| not to niue. In the first place. President
Cleveland made no mlstaks in calling an
extra session of Congress when he lid.
Ii he had called one in March or even
| April or May Congress would not have
accomplished what they will Rt the pres
ent time, for the simple reason that a
majority of both Houses OF Congress had
not-a few months ago-fully made
up their minds that the silver question
vas the main cause of the present tinan-
cial trouble. President Cleveland has
made no mistake, u none OF his ACTIONS
call sor any criticism Oh the part OF huy-
one, aud especially the Republican press.

danger of a tiuanciat embarrassment. it
was certainly evident many inontis pray

question arises. Why dill mt Mr.. Harri-
son call an extra session Of the Fifty
second Congress before their regular
session III December? Ii he had, he could
have made Iecomnle ndations That surely
would have received the approval of u
large majority of both Houses OF Con-
gress. aud i'll doing 50 would have pre-

NC UNCERTAINTY.
There is 10 uncertainty OF the ability
of the Democratic party TO do any wise
thing and as to their platform which Mr..
Cleveland was elected on. no fault ecu

tanned In that platform had anything TO

The Gully cause Ii the famous aud obnox-
ious Sherman silver law, which las been
assisted along by the infamous Mckinley
bill or high protective tariff. Surely,
Mrs. Editor, 10 one should doubt the
fact that the Sherman silver law Is tHe
cause OF all this trouble. Senator Sher-
nun. who is en- authority on ali iinauces,
in a recent interview claims publicly that
the sole cause OF the present financial
embarrassment Is due 10 The famous bill

party did pledges themselves to repeal the
infamous Mckinley bill, and In DOUG so
promised the people q tariff reform. You
can rest assured that The Democratic
party Will keep this pledge, aud in the
near future will attack anu destroy this
