They DO Not All Coincide.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Representa-,
tivcs and senator's approached and
sounded in regard to their opinions Of
the presidents message expressed
themselves as follows:
Representative Cannon, OF Illinois,
said:
II Is unfortunate that the president has
coupled with his statement OF the financial
policy the declarations regarding the tarin.
The business disturbances set in last Norem-
Der. The financial stringency, as some one has
well said. lis but the mark on the dial indfcas
ting the real trouble Within
Mr.. Bourke Cochran, of New York,
who is expected to lead the antisilver
forces on the floor of the house, said:
Admirable. most admirable Even the silver
men must admit that it is the most perfect pre-
sentation OF the question that could be made.
Representative Bland, of Missouri,
the Moses of the free-coinage men,
said:
AS nearly as I could make out, IL was plea
for single gold standard, because England
maintains IT, II England would coin silver
probably this country would do so. We seem
10 have lost the spirit OF I7a6.
Representative Bynum. of Indiana,
said:
The message is very straightforward. The
president makes no attempt to straddle the is
sue The country will understand it.
Representative NJ. ID. Harter, Of
Ohio, said:
The message OF Mr.. Cleveland is strong,
clear and conclusive. That congress should
lose no time in carrying out his recommenda-
tions IS patent The immediate and uncondi-
tfonal repeal OF the purchase clause Of the so
called Sherman act ought to raise no issue
among patriotic. intelligent representatives
and senator's. Procrastination or delay in
this, 70 my mind and heart. is q crime and will
produce needless suffering OF the people and
helpless poor To-day in the aggregate hun
dreds OF thousands OF our people are out OF
work and in need. II this occurs in summe 4
what will IL be next winter. T
Representative Springer, of Illinois,
said:
The president has very ably aud terseIy
sAated the present financial situation, and his
message viii command the earnest and careful
consideration OF congress and the whole coun-
try. The duty Of congress Is made clear and
there can be no doubt that the representatives
OF the people and the states will at once carry
out and crystalIze the presidents recommended
tions-
Representative Holman, of Indiana,
chairman of the last committee on APP
preparations, said:
II is a vigorous and able expression Of the
presidents views upon the situation"
Mr.. Dingley (rep.), of Missouri, was
not very tavorably impressed by the
message:
II contains a number Of Grover Cleveland
platitudes. Mr.. Cleveland never goes to the
root OF the evil. speak with considerable
desirability OF the result which he wishes to
attain.
Representative McMillin, of Tennes-
see. said:
The message is particularly strong presen-
tation Of the case in the presidents we'll
known terse and forcefuI manner OF expression.
Itmeets my hearty approval
Representative Simpson (pop.), of
Kansas, said:
IL is the weakest message ever presented to
the country. Weak as dishwater" does not ex-
press IL. The presidents reference to the Ia
Dor question is the veriest rot.
Representative Bryan (pop.-dem.), of
Nebraska, said:
II very forcibly represents the opinions of
those who Relieve in the unconditional repeal
OF the Sherman act, and OF course could not be
expected to set forth the sentiments OF those
who oppose such repeal.
Judge Bell (pop. -dem.), of Colorado,
said:
1t is an unmistakable gold standard paper.
1t is 10 direct conflict with the platforms and
doctrines OF the party for the past twenty
years IL is the argument made by Sherman
and the money power. It makes the silver
forces more determined II did not seem to
impress any OF the silver democrats. believe
IL will help the silver cause
Representative Cummings, of New
York, said;
The message is gold message. II does not
seem to me TO conside- silver as In IL at all.
that il will, in measure. restore financial con-
fidenee and be great step toward renewing
the prosperity of the country.
Senator Mcpherson (dem.), of New
Jersey:
1t is the strongest presentation OF the case
possible, and the arguments advanced meet
every objection that can be put forward.
Senator Jones (rep.), of Nevada:
/ think the message is utterly illogical and
does not analyze the situation at all The
Sherman law has nothing to do with the pres
ent condition of affairs. The lines are drawn
for the battle, and / see reason for tbs
friends OF repeal 70 think they can carry their
measure through. The message is what was
expected, and will do little to help the cause
which the president champions
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania:
SO far IS the messages touches upon the re
peal OF the purchasing act of the Sherman law,
/ give it my cordial indorsement and think it
is good state paper. It will help the cause OF
repeal. But for one. IL can not get absolute
repeal. am willing TO take the next best thing
that can get.
Senator Hawley (rep.), of Connecti-
cut:
think IL is a good, strong message in regard
10 the money question and am pleased that
the president treated Mr. Sherman, whose
name the law bears. so fairly as he did when he
called that act a truce. Everyone knows that
the Sherman act was passed 70 prevent the
infiction of free silver legislation and that il
was only intended 10 postpone the final fight.
I do not exactly understand Mr.. Cleveland s
proposed tariff. but believe the real relief OF
the country would come If it knew what 10 ex
pect in this direction.
Senator Lodge (rep.), of Massachu-
sets:
lam very wen pleased with the recommen.
dations regarding the financial questions OF
the day. and think the presidents position de-
nandinr the immediate and unconditional re-
peal OF the law is what is needed In that re-
spect il is a very strong document agrea
with the president that this - no time for
personal or party politics on the silver ques-
ton.
senator Harris (dem-). of Tennes-
see:
lam member OF the committee that viii
consider this message. and cannot talk.
Senator Murphy (dem-), of New
York, said that he had not read the
message

The simple assertion OF the president that
