for the monthly purchase OF four and
half million dollars worth OF silver,
which would now buy six and half
million ounces. To defeat that measure
and also to prevent the passage OF a

agreed upon"
Mr.. "That extraordinary state

would have signed a free coinage

than that it was impossible

repeal Of the Sherman act did not come
from the productive agencies, but from

OPINIONS OF TIE MESSAGE.

Even Silver Men are Compelled to Ad-
init Its Forcsfulnsss = ar. Wilson's
NVIews.
Special Tsgs0rGm to thS Rsotsts-.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., August s.
There is a general chorus OF praise
heard here tonight for the mastery
presentation Of the evils Of the Sher-
man law which is contained
In the message which Pres
ident Cleveland sent to Congress
to-day. Men who are still firm in their
faith in bi-metalism as well as those
who fear that silver's usefulness
as money metal is gone,
Join alike in commencing the clear
ness, the force, and the keenness
with which the President an alyzed the
actual situation, and forecast the dan
gers OF allowing this vicious piece OF
Republican vote catching legislation to
remain longer on the statute books.
Even extreme silver men, who criti-
else the message because 1t suggests no
scheme for rehabilitating silver, admit
the force of the Presidents argument
against the Sherman law. They md
fault only because the President did not
suggest some substitute for the law
whose repeal he urges. They do not de-
ny that what he says OF the actuai con-
dition of the treasury and Of the coun-
try is correct.
The view which is taken o. the Presi-
dents message by conservative states
men cannot be better illustrated than
by the remarks which Hon. VIM. L..
Wilson made, when asked his opinion
by the REGIsETR correspondent. Mr..
Wilson said: tine message Is a
direct. business like paper, setting forth
the dangerous and distressing condition
of the country. and the exact opera
tions OF the Sherman law In bringing
about or largely contributing to
that condition. No man need
now misunderstood the workings
OF the law or how 1t produces
It's disastrous effects. The President
drives straight at the repeal OF that
law, or its purchasing clause, as the
first condition OF restored health, not
forgetting that tariff reform is still the
great commission OF the party.

to-day, an interesting fact in connec-
ton with the Assistant Attorney Gener-

will be remem bered that Hon. Wood
Daily was offered by the President the
position OF Assistant Attorney General,
at salary OF 1000 year. After CIV
ing the offer due consideration, Mr..
Daily decided that his existing legal en-
gagements would not permit him
to accept 1t. The President was
still desirous TO find . West

ed IL to eX-Cengressman j. J. Davis, OF
Clarksburg. The latter gentleman.
however, also found that he could not
take the place, and declined IL in turn.
The place was then filed by q gentle
man from Mississippi. The fact that
the President offered il to two West Vir-

nizs to the fullest the Democracy OF the
State and the cordial relations which
existed between him and the West Vir-
