SOLID South.
Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
Washington, D. G., Nov T.
Throuob a series of private comb
dances, running back to the presi'
aort himself, the following revela-
ton has been made of the presl'
DENTS plans and hopes. lie has
oonsded them to those in whom he
hoe absolute trust. 1t is not cert
ain that he enjoined secrecy be
that as it may, the information mas
filtered through several channels to
the writer, who presents 1t TO the
Enquirer, with the assurance 'na'
there can be no doubt of its autheh'
ITCHY.
Mr. Cleveland has fully determln-
cd mon being candidate for a
third term. He expects to be nom
mated by the Democratic party upon
. distinct declaration in favor OF the
cold standard. He expresses the
oninion that Democratic majority
in the next house of representatives
as by no means desirable II they
should fail to secure majority he
thinks there would be tendency
toward cooperation on hnahc'a'
measures between the Republicans
and the Populists. He thinks this
would alarm the money power IN
the east and terminate the alliance
which has so long existed between
that power and the eastern Republl-
can leaders. 1t is his hope and be-
lief that, under these conditions the
Democratic party can, uhuer HIS
lead, secure the entire support OF the
banking interest of the east anu oi
all their varied ramifications. lie
believes that the eastern RepuDll-
cans, unable to win alone, and I'M
able to make any inroads in the
south. are, in the nature OF things
compelled to seek an alliance in the
west The terms of that alliance
must be free coinage OF silver. lie
believes that any concessions by
eastern Republicans that would Sc
cure the supper of the silver adVo-
Gates in the west would lose them
the support Of the banks and their
\ following. This, he thinks, would
Y leave the eastern Democrats without
hope in the west, but certain OF the
support of the advocates OF the gold
standard, if, by its candidate as well
as its platform, it should seem
worthy of their support. New Eng
land New York and New Jersey
would, he believes, be Democratic
as against a silver coinage Republi-
can party. He would look with
composure upon the RepubIicaniz'
ing of the entire west upon silver
basis. This is because he has
abiding faith in his ability to COM
mand the support of every south
ern state. lie believes that the
gold standard party can give him
the thlrty.one electoral votes OF New
England, and the forty.cight elector'
al votes of New York and New Jer
sey. He believes that with liberal
aid from them in the way OF money
he can carry the entire 1859 elector
al votes of the south. If he could
realize these expectations, he would
receive pa southern and eastern
electoral votes as against the 2OO o.
Pennsylvania and the entire west
He does not believe that the New
England and New York Republican
leaders really intend to aid in re es
tablishing the free coinage OF silver
but he believes that in their effort;
to secure the west they will eXcit'
the fears of the money power III tn
same degree that they raise thu
hopes of the silver men. While thu
Republicans will be endeavoring t.
satisfy both sides of the silver ques
ton, with the usual result of salts
flying neither, he hopes to reconcile
New England, New York and New
Jersey to his support through h''
