s.. Louis Republic dem): No doubt he
will still be popular In eastern New York
aud northern New Jersey.
Chicago Herald tdem). There Is In this
message altogether too much concession TO
The cheap money fanatics wis have brought
great disCredit upon the democratic party
ana great danger to the country.
Chicago Inter Ocean rep): The veto Is a
lnallty. II is a declaration by the prcsi-
dent that, so long as he has power to pre-
vent II, no act looking toward the extension
Of silver coinage shall become a law.
Globe Democrat UepJ: The message Will
be endorsed by all who are in favor of
honest money and a sound financial policy:
and there is good reason to believe that such
persons constitute u decided majority OF the
American people.
New York Sun (dem1; Altogether, the
message will meet with the approval Of con-
servative nnanciers in this section of the
country, though 1t Is not likely that It will
satisfy the advocates of free silver coinage
or other currency intationists here or else
where.
Atlanta Constitution (demJ: Mr.. Glove
land has put his eastern foot on the s%eignior-
age bill and smashed 1t. He has vetoed the
measure supported by seven-eights of his
party in congress and by an overwhelming
majority of the people who gave him their
votes in 1892.
New York Times Cdcm): The tone of
the message is also admirable, simple. di-
rect and calm. 1t is in no sense needlessly
offensive to those from whom the president
finds himself forced to differ, but on the CON
trary is frankly respectful and candid and
even conciliatory.
Philadelphia Times demD: The presi-
dents message is SO sound and so clear
that 1t could leave no doubt. even had any
real doubt ever existed, as to his infexible
determination to maintain the financial
credit of the United States, so far as It can
rest npDu the pOVgr and dissertation pf tI,p
executive.
Denver News (popJ: The policy involved
in the veto is fraught with ruin to the pro-
ductivc forces of the nation and more eS-
pecially and imminently to the south and
west. The presidents conclusion should
hasten the political uniiiCation Of those sec
lions and will certainly facilitate that essen
tial result.
Buffalo Express rep): The message is
not a particularly able document. But 1t
answers the purpose. 1t serves notice on
the free silver cranks that they cannot
force their ideas upon the government dur
ing this administration. 1t strengthens Mr..
Cleyeland's reputation. already established,
as an uncompromising advocate of sound
money.
Kansas City Journal (rep): Mr.. Cleve-
land has disappointed hope, but not eXpecta-
ton, in his veto of the silver coinage bill.
It's reading will dispel any doubts as to
the presidents attitude. He is a single gold
SldllNlIIu advocate anu MS WnOIp llpllLHI
makeup is that way. He looks. sees and
reasons from that standpoint-is, in fact,
an enemy of silver.
New York Tribune (repD: The presidents
veto of the seigniorage bill has saved the
country from great disgrace and great dis
aster. The financial world expected no less
of President Cleveland, and has perhaps
been not quite ready enough to give him as
much credit as he really deserves for an act
which required extraordinary power of re-
sistance to the demands of his own party.
New York Recorder (rep): This is a plain
notice to the friends of silver in congress
that If they will give Secretary Carlisle |
elastic power to increase the national debt
at his own discretion by buying gold in in
stallments of fifty, a hundred, or a hundred
and fifty millions, Mr.. Cleveland is ready to
sign Il bill for the coming of the seigniorage.
The bait is two small for the fish proposed
to be caught.
Chicago Times (demD: President Cleve- !
land will receive the plaudits Of the re-
publican press for his action. He will en-
joy the golden opinion and profitable friend !
ship of the national bank interest the whole
country over. But the rank and file of the
democracy and the main body of the people
in the west and south are almost a unit in
condemnation of the policy which rivets
more closely the letters of the money power
upon an already enslaved industrial popula-
ton.
Cincinnati Commercial (rep): The pres
ident grasped the situation thoroughly in
refusing his signature to a measure that
would have destroyed financial confidence
and led to the most disastrous results. 1t
is well that the president has developed n
vast degree of courage in this direction and
his message shows that he would veto a free
and unlimited silver coinage bill. This ac-
tion is well calculated to restore confidence,
and this is precisely what the country needs
at this time.
