ECHOES OF THE VETO.
STRANGE AND PROTENTIOUS NOISES
COME IN FROM THE LAND.
Mr.. CLEVELAND GREATLY SURPRISED.
he Has no Monopoly Oh Backbone and INDIE
pendence but the People Have-The Pres
ident VIII Hear from Congress.

Washington, April 3-(Special)-News IL
coming in from the country in reply to the
veto OF the seignorage BILL and the people
are writing red-hot letters to their members,
v nile lurid kilograms tumbling in from
the south and far west. From these sources
the congressman are being advised that the
seven Walls of democratic wrath have been
opened and the true blue members of the
party are not playing the Ephraim act with
their Whilom idol.
Stick to the platform is the burden Of
most of the kilograms, while other express
sions urge the congressman to dump the
Wall street traitor and "stand by the
cause of the people to the last ditch" The
messages bound together and presented to
Mr.. CIeveands perusal, would make him
acquainted with the temper of the fighting
democracy of the south and west in a way
that would make his ears burn.
But there seems little need for the appli.
cation of the spur to the democratic major
ity in the two houses of congress. If the
leaders maintain their present temper UNI
tn Tuesday next and have the courage or
their alleged convictions, the debate upon
the motion to pass the seigniorage bill over
the veto will take on some sensational feat
ureS and recall some of the scenes OF the
days when Andrew Johnson and the rad-
cal mob of 1867 were in the midst of their
memorable struggles. Then the president
majority against them Now the situation
is reversed and the representatives are 1or
the people and the president for the money
power and monopoly.
Little Hope of Passing 1t.
1t is probable that the republicans viii not
interfere with Il full and free debate on the
veto message. In that event the CUCKOO
crowd will find it impossible to stifie the
voices Of the silver men or stay the current
OF their criticisms against the president )
action. Many members desire to be heard
terms in when they viii express their dis
appointment of the financial policy adopted
by Mr.. CleVeland some are ALREADY re-
hearsng what they purpose to say ana
much of it viii be very unWelcome talk TO
the administration adherents.
1t is conceded that the bill cannot be pass
cd over the veto yet there will be some sur
prising gains made by the silver men ana
81 me equally notable losses. There are 4
number of congressman VINO made the now
too evident mistake of voting Tor the puf-
chase clause repeal, without substitute leg
iSlation in the interest OF silver, VINO WlSn
to recoup that action with new record;
They say now that they We're deceived ana
trusted tCO much to the WlnkS ana Smiles OF
Mr.. Carlisle and the Cleveland ma haSeLS Or
both floors. Realizing now that Mr.. CleVe-
land has no friendship for silver but IS un-
ouestionably welded to the gold standard
policy they wish opportunity to express
their dissent and make a new demand tor
the redemption of the promises made TO the
people Some Georgia members are IN that
crowd.
on the other hand there are members who
voted
bill who do not think 1t necessary or poIllic
10 vote to pass the latter over the pres-
dents veto. They say the veto makes the
fate of that act certain ana no SCOu can
come to the party by putting the stamp OF
an insistent vote upon the record as a sort
of stigma IDon the head of the party. They
think it would be better to let the selgnior-
age bill alone and go forward to some otner
proposition They are Wiling 10 support
every measure in favor of silver, but unWIl-
ling to 20 on record in fashion that ID
tantamount to a party reputation OIL the
president.
Has No Monopoly On Independence.
So far as the president himself is con-
cer1ed there is every reason TO beIeNe tnat
he is not satisfied with the effect Oh ms
message upon the masses OF the parry.
He has educated himself to Del.eVe uldC
the bulk of the democracy would accept
his logic without question ana applduu MS
superior craftsmanship without que9tl9 ;
His advices from the country snow MN
that the Independence OF oeIn t,... iifG
thought is still a factor in the party NE
ard that day has comes when no man can
lead the wde-awake voters OF the country
along by the nose. This is a most painful
reaiization, and the question that now
comes uppermost with him ana ms au-
herents is what may be done TO poI5t iso ms
odum of wholesale reputation by ms
party. 49, - 80
ronage strings are t. be pulled Tor an me
influence they can draw, There are great
many Offices yet at me disposal OF me
bureau and a large number OF congressman
with hungry constituents hanging TO their
coat-tails. 1t is believed thar tempting
hairs of official faVors viii be held out to
ali those who will refuse to follow Bland
and the silver men in the effort to MAKE q
record against the veto desperate pay
will be made 20 divide democrats on that
issue and cut down the number OF those
who vote to pass the bill TO a MINIMUM
figure. Every vote taken from the i}land
crowd will be a victory FOR the SoldbuS5
and to the work of making those victories
as many as possible every member OF the
cabinet will pull for dear life.
Session Probable.
