Mr.. Cleveland Doesn't Expect the Pres
ent Session OF Congress to DO Any
thing.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February IA
Mr. Josiah Quincy, who was at the Cap
itol to-day, was asked tonight as to the
correctness Of the reports that he had
brought some message regarding Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland's views upon silver
legislation, Mr.. Quincy having seen and
talked with Mr.. Cleveland at Lake
wood yesterday. Mr.. Quincy replied
as follows:
~ had no authority TO speak for Mr..
Cleveland upon this subject, and my
visit was not due TO Mr. Cleveiand's
suggestion. So far as | am aware Mr.
Cleveland is not expecting any further
action on the silver question at this
session Of Congress.
~ asked number OF representatives
for their views as 10 the possibility OF a
compromise measure being brought
forward even at this late stage of the
session, but l had no such message TO
suggest myself apd there did not seem
TO be any belief that anything more
could be done. -
"There seemed to be rather a general
feeling that an extra session was likely
but wide difference Of opinion as TO
what action would be taken upon the
currency question at such extra ses'
Sion"

Cleveland had not only made mistake
in calling Gresham into his cabinet but
that the Judge had violated politibal
decency in accepting the office in the
light Of the fact that the appointment
might be construed as a reward for de.
serting a party that had honored him.

that It was not my funeral, and laugh
