CURRENT VETO C0MMEST.

McMlllan OF Tennessee :@not DEM
ocratic candidate can be elected in
Tennessee unless be repudiaies it.
The veto will be tremendously disas-
ferrous 10 the Democratic Party"
Oates of Ala: ain States like Ala
bama where campaign Is in Pro-
gress and the Democrats are confront
ed with vigorous third party organ
ization the veto hurt the Democrats.
Money Of Mississippi: The veto
will ALLEVIATE the people from Cleve-
land, but not from the party. Tie
Senators sne Representatives from our
State have kept faith with their con-
stitusnts. Our people hoped that
something would be done for silver
and the passage of the seiguiorage
bill showed that Congress had not
turned Its back upon them. The Presi-
dents action Ia to be regretted; but
1t can only hurt himself, not the
party.
Bryan of Nebraska: While 1t IL a
contest between the Northeastern idea
OF finance and the idea entertained
by the rest Of the country, II must be
fought out at the ballot box. IL
might as well be commenced now
perhaps 1t better, for then IL win be
impossible to elect another President
hostile to silver. The South and West
will get together and rid themselves
of Eastern domination and restore
the gold and silver coinage of the
constitution for which several Dem
ocratic platforms have declared. Mr..
Cleveland has revived, not killed, the
cause Of bimetallism. He lays down
the lines of the fight, and bimetallism
will win because 1t Is right.
4 Bland of Missouri: "The two
theories of finance are sharply drawn
and they must be fought out In the
coming elections. Ibelieye the Demo-
cratic party Of the South and West
will stand true to the money Of the
/ Constitution, the restoration Of silver
where II was before lite demonstration
Tor the opening of the mints to the
oinage Of both metals, aud thus free
themselves from the dictstion Of Wall
street.
Tho Democratic party cannot ex-
let, a. . party, in the South aud the
West upon the currency theories Of
present administration.
George of Mississippi is quoted as
saving the veto "is the crowning blum
der Of this unfortunate administration.
The message reads like q bulletin from
l Wall street."
| Coke of Texas: The message means
no more sllvcr-the issuance of moro
, bonds-an increase Of the public debt,
the upholdIng and strengthening OF
the national banking system as the
result of bond issues-and the control
the financial policy of the Government
by this great banking syndicate.
: II means no addition to the volume OF
our circulating medium, and contin'
uation of the money famine now upon
the country, with hard times and
falling prices. The outlook for the
country and the Democratic party II
gloomy one"
: Vest of Missouri: "The message
simply amounts to q declaration b,
the President that be will veto any
measure providing for coming th'
seigniorage unless the Secretary o
the Treasury is at the same time
= authorized to sell gold bonds bearing
y . lower interest than provided for II
the resumption act. ln other word
he SAYS to the friends Of silver: :
y will give you more silver If you viii
ID give me more gold This is wha
everybody expected who knows th
= President and bis financial opinions.
"Mr. Cleveland regards silver none
as dangerous, II not dishonest, and b
s,ncerely believes that the coinage Q
silver dollars, without more gold =
make them good, lie menace to publ
8. credit. This veto ends the silver que'
- tion for this Congress.
!. Voorhcs of Indiana told Mr.. Clev'
. land that The veto would make ever
western vote Republican or Populit
and would injure Democracy
of half the Southern States. He felt sur
that Indiana would 60 Republican 3
= $4,000 majority.
81. Louis Republic: Mr.. Clevelan
has not departed from bis scustor
We oet A veto without subterfuge.
,s He might have withheld apprev
and charged his action to the flaws
construction with which the autho
n nIentifully endowed the bill. A sli
nerv politician would have done
Thai way and trusted to the iatene
of The session to stop tho passage OF
pre- nerfected bill. Cleveland comes o.
Il. and tells US that, while the flaws a
enough to account for bis veto, he r
ty. cards the gold reserve as the on
bssis of the currency, and will not co
ssnt TO an infusion of more silv
unless measures are also taken
|, strengthen the gold foundation.
1 d. cannot be expected that the bill "
he nassed over the veto. The par
aes. must meet the most difficult SITUATE
# has ever faced in the South al
- Southwest. 1t has but one explal
linn 10 offer for the veto, and that
the well-dnown fact that the Dem
). crsts ora of The Southwest and Mr.. Cle'
