Mr.. Cleveland's Position.

We quoted the other daY the remark OF
Mr.. VEST in the United States Senate that
he did not agree with Mr.. CLEVELAND on
the silver question. Mr.. VEsT added that
he was sure that the President-elect had
been misiepresented III an extract which
Mr.. TELLER had read from the New York
Herald. That extract was significant IT,
deed if its averments be true. We quote
the Herald as follows:
"The indications are decisive that President
elect Cleveland urges the unconditional repeal
Of the Sherman law. He Is convinced that cur
rency reform should have precedence over taxa
ton reform and tarif1 reform. He has resolved
to make the stopping OF Treasury purchases of
silver his policy and fidelity 10 that policy test
OF fidelity to him and his administration. IL Is
even strongly intimated that those who resist
the unconditional repeal OF the Sherman law
will. when the 4th OF March has come, be ex-
pected to stand aside and yield In the jstribu-
ton Of patronage to those Democrats who advo-
cate the repeal
We doubt that Mr.. CLEVELAND has made
any such resolve. 1t would be inconsistent
with his well-known views of civil-service
reform. But whether he has or has not
ne is now the same anti-silverite that he
was known to be when he was nominated
at Chicago and when he was last elected
President of the United States. He has
not deceived anybody.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-02-08

vcntion would have about the same nun.
Der OF delegates. Instead Of apportioning
tho delegates 10 the counties and cities
on the basis Of one for zach hundred
votes cast for Mr.. CLxvxLASp IL would
be far better TO apportion them on the
basis OF one delegate for each two hun
bred votes thus cast and that would give
us convention Of $40 members. In this
case either the Theatre or the Academy
would be better place than the Armory,
though we doubt not than any one OF
these three halls could be put at the ser
vice Of the convention. The acoustics OF
the Armory are. however. not the best.
and whenever IT is used as q convention
hall seats have to be put in it.
IL may be said that we are looking very
far ahead, and so we are. but these matters
have already become the subject OF news
paper discussion. We only want to put
Richmond on record as heartily desiring
the honor Of being selected as the place
for holding the convention. and to express
our cwn conviction that unless some good
reason to the contrary can be shown the
committee would better adhere to the es-
tablished usage Of calling the convention
for date not earlier than the last week in
July and not later than the 15th.of August.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-02-08
The Financial Tie-Up.

A bill to provide for the free coinage of
silver would be just about as strong in the
United States Senate as the bill to repeal
the SHERMAN law showed itself to be. How
ever. no serious effort will be made during
the present Congress. or during Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS Administration we might say. to
provide for free coinage, it being as GER
tain as anything in the future can be that
neither Mr.. HARRIsoN nor Mr.. CLEVELAND
would allow such bill 10 become law.
In view of this condition of things
this financial "tie-up," so to speak-the
prophets of evil have come to the conclu-
sion that Mr.. CLEVELAND may prove to he
more lenient than he otherwise would be
with the advocates of the scheme to de-
nationalize the United States currency.
But he isn't that sort of man. He knows
what he wants. and he knows what he
doesn't want. And we are not inclined TO
believe the report in question.

War on Hoop-Sklrts.

The New Orleans Piodvme Is preparing
for war offensive and defensive against
the threatened invasion OF that implaca-
bic foreign foe the hoop.skirt. and IS en-
gagged in organizing clubs OF ladies' who
pledge themselves upon their word and
honor never TO bow TO the yoke OF Ming
Crinoline. or if they forget themselves and
do they oblieate themselves to pay our es-
teemed contemporary a fine of - for each
offence, the said penalty to 90 to the trea-
sury of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children.
How the able editor of the Picdyun' IS to
find out when the pledge IS broken we DO
not know: nor are we advised why the
