At this point President Cleveland

AT this point President Cleveland
framed the reply to the many pleas
He stood by the side of his large desk
one hand resting on it, and spoke to the
fifteen or twenty earnest men before
him. lie spoke of his anxiety to help
the congressman and their people by
such action as would be best for the
whole country. 1t was not a question
about majorities in congress or of any
other personal or decentralization.
He told them that they had his sy M
pathy and be earnestly wished he was
at liberty to look at the matter and act
solely from their point of view. 10
fact, nothing would please him more
than to leave the matter to be settled
by congress, but congress had turned
1t over to him and upon him rested
the responsibility which he could rot
and would not evade.
The performance of bis full duty
obliged him to cons der. not the inter
ests OF this or that section, but the
welfare of the whole people, and that
duty be should endeavor to discharge
to the best Of his ability. To that end
he has sought information from all
sources and heard all interests. He in
| tended to take all OF the facts into con-
| SidOi uliOh dIu " DdSS HIS UcclSlOl upon
| the conviction that he should reach as
to the Interests Of the whole people.
He spoke feelingly of the gravity of the
responsibility thus imposed upon him
by the differences in various localities.
He pointed out some of the features
urged against tho bill. He did not
say they were fatal d, fects. vet the
tendency of his statement was to show
that he could not yet reconcile himself
to the views the silver men had ex-
pressed.
Mr.. Cleveland spoke for fully fifteen
minutes. When the main body of the
congressman mad retired others arrived
and ten a string Of silver pleas con-
tinued throughout the public hours Of
| the president To one OF the congress
men Mr.. Cleveland pointed out that
his main fear was against the sanction
of the bill which may cause run on
the treasury for the redemption of
treasury notes in gold.
| An important criticism andvanced by
| President Cleveland was that the
phraseOlOgy of the Bland bill was de-
! fective in the judgement of eminent
| legal authorities. The president pointed
| out that tbs wording of thu section d.
recting the coinage OF seignIorage was
such that, while it seemed to authorize
] o55,OOO0OO, 1t was open to the construc-
| ton that the amount should be 51I0.
| OOO000. While not stating the defect
was fatal, the president seemed to re-
| gard it as a serious matter III such a
| measure The South came strongly TO
the front in the letters and kilograms
piled upon Mr.. Turner's desk, nearly
all Of them pray ing for veto.
