BALTIMORE, Md, December 3.-The sun
says:
Mr.. Cleveland deals in his usual plain,
straightforward and sensible manner with
the various public questions which ne dls-
cusses. His position with regard TO the
tariff has not been changed by the result
OF the elections. He sounds afresh the
Democratic battle-cry for tariff reform
free coal. free iron, free ships and for war
upon the greatest Of tarif-begotton monop-
olies, the sugar trust.
BALTIMORE, ND, Decem Der 3.-The Bal
timore american, (Republican), tomorrow
morning will say editorially:
President Cleveland's message is like
the traditional woman's letter. The most
important suggestions viii be found in the
postscript.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3.-Sen-
ator Ste xart, in speaking Of the Presi-
dents message, said:
"The financial plan in Mr.. Cleveland's
message stripped of verbisge, means that
the United States shall give bankers SO
for S2250. 1t removes all restrictions OF
the banking law against expansion and
contraction by the banks to enable them
and their associates TO ''rig" the market
1t repeals the requirements of the banking
law 10 keep reserves TO secure depositors
TO enable fraudulent banks to SWindle the
people"
CLgvELAND,O o., December 3.-The Leader
saws the message is remarkable for nothing
but the Presidents financial recommends
tions, which, il declares, are intended to
please the Populists and Democrats of the
South and West, and which, If carried
out, would result in the revival Of wild
cat currency and the material weakening
of the national banking system, by de-
creasing the security Of the bill holders
and leaving depositors at the mercy OF
dishonest bank officials.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, December 3.-The
Inquirer of tomorrow will say: Most OF
the Presidents message will be skipped,
for in bulk it is little more then dry re-
hash of departmental reports with some
reference TO foreign affairs, which are OF
| no value whatever. There are but two
points which will command close attention
what is said on the tariff and the finances.
CHICAGO, December 3.-The Herald will
say: The annual message Of President
! Cleveland is very much in earnest, and
those portions which express his personal
views Of public policy and the principles
Of government have his usual force and
directness. On the whole it is a satisfac-
| tory document, which clears up the sltua-
ton amazingly, which will excite but little
hostile criticism. and which is a creditable
American state paper.
LOUISVILLE, KY, December 3.-The
| Courier Journal will say: The Presidents
annual message is unusually long, and is
almost as embarrassing as long. The fea-
ture is the plan looking TO the commend
able object OF divorcing the government
from the business OF banking, and provid
ing for an ample, elastic and perfectly safe
bank currency.
NEW YORK, December 3.-The World
will say: The message is as a whole a
disappointment. There is no clear note of
leadership in it, 1t contains not the slight
est recognition of the causes of the late
overwhelming disaster to the Democratic
party. 1t las not word indicating the
purpose to amend the faults and correct
the blunders that contributed to this de-
feat.
New YORK, December 3-The Press will
say: Mr. Cleveland's demand for more
free trade legislation is an insult to the
American people and an essential denial
of the rights Of popular sovereignty.
C1NcINNATI, o., December 3.-The En-.
oniirer Dem) criticlses the message
throughout severely. 1t says:
"phe most interesting feature Of the
Presidents recommendation of withdraw.
al from the Berlin treaty is his recognition
of Congress as having some authority con-
cerning our foreign relations"
The message is pronounced rheumatic
and gouty."
CINCINNATI, o., December 3.-The Com
mercidl-Gdzette, Republican, says: The
Presidents message shows weakness on
the tariff and is lacking in any remedial
measures after the popular expressions
there for the past two years.
WASHINGTON, December 3.-Representa-
tive Reed, of Maine, declared be had moth
ing to say with regard to the message, and
MIR. Burrows, of Michigan, had no COM
ment TO make. Regarding that portion Of
the message relating TO foreign affairs,
! Representative Storer, OF Ohio, said it i'm
pressed hum as being of great vagueness on
every subject of real interest to the gov
ernment-
Representative Dalzsll. Of Pennsyl-
vania. said: "The President either has
not heard as yet Of the elections that
recently took place, or dses not think they
are of any special significance. There is
| absolutely nothing new inThe message"
Senators Voorhees,. Harris and Vest ask
ed to be excused from expressing any opin-
ion on the financial view advanced by the
President, and Senator Jones, Of Arkan-
sas, would only repeat what he had hereto
fore said that be did not believe that any
financial legislation would be possible dur
ing the present session. Repu olican men,
bers of the committee were almost as dis
inclined TO talk as their Democratic col
leagues. Senator Sheyman would 90 no
further than to say the message contained
nothing striking.
Senator Brice, Democrat, of Ohio. said; (;
"There are, / believe, 80 pages of the
message, of which 81 are figures, while the
remaining page is given up 10 urging the
adoption Of the Baltimore financial plan.
have not had time to verify the figures,
but as for the Baltimore plan, it
strikes me as pure dream. Its adoption
would certainly demoralize the finances Of
tae country"
Mr.. Springer, Democrat Illinois: In
reference 70 tariff, his suggestions are wise
and timely.
9suli,,' Blanchard. Democrat, Louis
lana: al approve of the State bank recon-
mendstion. l am opposed to the repeal OF
the differential on sugar
Senator Villas, Democrat. Wisconsin,:
at is q good business message"
Senator Chandler, Republican, New
Hampshire. "A very commonplace docu-
ment"
Speaker Crisp was not prepared to ex-
press an opinion.
Mr.. Wilson, Chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee, expressed his great
qualification over the Presidents vigorous
recommendation OF the free coal and iron
bills sent to the Senate and his endorse
ment of the recommendation for the aboli-
tion of the differential on refined sugar.
General Tracey, Democrat, New York:
I favor some sort OF a banking scheme 70
