CLEvELAND'S ATTITUDE TOWARD SILVER.
London. Sept. 2a-"The Standard" says eiitorlally
this morning of President Clevelands letter to
Governor Northen. concerning the Repeal bill
in the Senate:
we doubt that Mr. Clevelands letter
will have the results in America which people
here think and expect it ought to have. There
is a refreshing downrghtness about his utter
ances. but once or twice in his scorn Of chicane
and double dealing. he has forgotten TO some ex
tent the constitutional limits within which he can
exert his influence over the lawmakers for good
This makes his utterances bear occasionally
curious resemblance to those OF Emperor William
The form is different. but the essence is the same
THE present letter is likely to rctard the
repeal Of the Sherman act than not. The Senat"
will be NOR, angry with Mr. Cleveland than ever,
or pretend 10 be So The letter seerns therefore

dollar is far lkelier To restore confidence than a

it would be wiser to discuss modus vivendi than
TO scold"
