men in public life that President Cleve-
land will veto the Bland seiRniorage bill

further that it would tend 10 weaken our
credit abroad.

favorl bic 0 the bill and he is understood
TO have rel resented to the President that
the money that would result from the
coinage of the seigniorage is not needed,
