THORN IN THE CLEVELAND FLESH.

The attitude Of the st. Louis Re-
public. Cincinnati Enquirer, Atlanta
Constitution and other Democratic
organs in tho West and South il evil
IDENTIFY thorn in the Cleveland flesh.
The persistency with which they
stand by the Chicago platform that de-
mards bimetalism, and their open and
determined antagonism to the Cleve-
land policy, is significant of rupture
In the party If Cleveland democracy is
substituted for the regular democracy
and its platform enunciated at Chicago
last year.
Nh. Cleveland is undou btedly en-
countering moro difficulties than he
would care to acknowledge in over
coming the obstinacy Of congressman
in favoring free coinage Of silver, and
which he clearly gave as reason for
not calling Congress in extra session
at the commencement Of his admins
tration.
The gravity Of the financial situa-
ton demands an extra session Of Con-
gresa, and it would be called at once
Il the President and his gold-standard
friends were sure that body would do
their bidding.
The papers named at the commence
ment Of this article are squarely an
tagonistic to the Cleveland program,
and while they are not assailing the
President directly. they are, neverthe-
less, standing as barriers in his way.
Tho purposes Of these papers are best
understood by reading between the
lines. The three papers named are
read by people in almost all sections
Of the West and South. and are, there
fore, having wonderful influence in
molding popular sentiment as against
Mr.. Cleveland's policy.
The question may be asked: "Will
they hold out?'' How will they dare
do anything else, in the face of all
they have said? They will not dare to
stultify their record, and, If they did,
the people would not follow them.

STATEMENTS have been made recent
II that the President contemplated
calling midsummer session Of Con-
gross, butythis is denied. One of the
reasons assigned for not calling mid
summer session is that on the as
surance Of the President that their
presence would not be required in
Washington before September /,
number Of members Of Congress have
planned their summer outings and the
hint is conveyed that these Outings"
are not to be interfered with. By and
by the people may get sense enough in
their heads to elect . President who
will convene Congress at any time it
may be necessary. and Congressman
who will not consult their ease, loiter
around summer resorts and idle their
time away when the public welfare
demands their vigorous attention.

ing that unconditional repeal could never pass

III Instead of calling congress together to
repeal the Sherman law, the president had il.
sued an address, saying, "This lack of conf
dence is without reason. The Sherman law
Is not responsible for the stringency In the

be depended on TO see that the national finan-
ces are safely maintained" If Mr.. Cleveland
had done that instead of bringing congress
together. and thus exaggerating state OF az
fairs that needed no legislation to remedy,
conf ience 10 the money markell would have
been restored Immediately instead of after
months of uncertainty. In few words, Dem
ocratic defeat Tuesday can be attributed to
apathy among the Democrats on account OF
the silver legislation worked up by a gold o.
Igarchy aud solidIfication of the Republicans
through agitation of tariff and election law
legislation.
Representative Bryan of Nebraska says:
The Democratic party now In power In all
branches OF government has announced Its
policy on one question only, finance. Con-
