WASHINGTON. Dec 3.-The Republi-
cans OF this Senate do not approve the
Presidents message 30 far rs it concerns

be silver men or not. they all have
sone thing to say against it.
Many Senators expressed the opinion
that the message was disappointing be-

money men were especially disappointed
ON account OF this feature of the mes
sage.
The silver mon, were of course, very
emphatic in their disspproval of the
Presidents views on silver. For the
most part. however, the Republicans
spoke in terms of approval regarding
foreign affairs. But more especially as
TO what he said about Venezuela. The
silver Democrats had very little to say
regarding the message and IT was for
the most part q disappointment to them.
The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1895-12-04
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message Of President Cleveland
to Congress from his point of view is in
some particulars not lacking in force or
clearness. He devotes C considerable at
tention to foreign affairs, and in the
boundary dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela shows that the
administration has been firm enough in
its adherence to the Monroe doctrine. In
regard to Cubs, however, the President
10 less explicit.
He makes no recommendation as to
granting b%elligerent rights to the insur.
gents, and in his desire to rigidly
observe all international obligations
does not hesitate to condemn all public
expressions of sympathy with the rsvo-
lutionists. In his allusion TO Turkish
affairs he evinces a deep interest in the
welfare and safety OF American mis-.
sionaries, but denies any wish beyond
this on the part of the government to
NEEDLE with European politics.
The largest portion of the message is
devoted to the financial situation. The
retirement of greenbacks and notes is
sued for the purchase Of silver bullion
ia strongly recommended, with the issue
In lieu thereof long term bonds Of small
and large denominations bearing q low
rate of interest. To avoid any evil re-
suits from o contraction of the currency
as a result of this policy he suggests an
increase in tho circulation of the
national banks, as we'll as an addition
to the number of these institutions. In
conclusion he opposes the free coinage
OF silver, and declares his willingness
to 20 cooperate with Congress in any
measure for the financial relief OF the
country.
