WASHINGTON LETTER.
j, v,ow our Special Correspondent.

.+on at this season of tn" year, but
nbne of the first magnitude, has
folIowed the statement of mom-
Nor Of the Cabinet, that President
cleveland regarded it as certain
that the Republican and Democrat
~ic parties would both split on the
Silver question and that the next
campaign would be fought solely
an that issue, and that all past
differences would BIO forgotten and
The members of all parties would
line up as silver or gold mon and
not as Republicans, Democrats
and Populists. He further stated
that President Cleveland consider
ed himself the logical candidate of
the gold party, and believed that
Ishe would be nominated and elect
ed. This view of the situation
has been taken by others, but this
il the first time that it has been
authoritatively stated us President
#Cleveland's view of it. The silver
men say they would ask nothing
! better than a fight on that line
against Mr.. Cleveland, who they
regard as their arch enemy,
II. Members of the administration
are shouting over the victory they
Z claim to have won over the silver
Democrats in Kentucky. They say
that previous to the publication of
President Clevrland's anti-silvrr
letter the silver sentiment in KEN
4 lucky was stronger than in amy
!. state in the south, with the posSj-
%.ble exception Of Texas, and that if
they could win in Kentucky they
can win in all the other Southern
III States. The silver men admit that
fpthe news from Kentucky is not en-
= couraging to their success in tn"
south, but will not admit defeat
until the state convention, which
meets next week, acts.
Col. W. W. Dudley, of Indiana,
was for a long tim" regarded a.
one of the shrewdest campaign
managers of his party. hut Since
the first Harrison campaign ho ha~

advice, which is highly plea -Io@ ro

danger squarely in the face, and it
