been authOrltatlVely stated as ITesl-
dent Cleveland's view of it. The sill
yer men say they would ask nothing
better than a fight on that line with
Mr.. Cleveland, whom they regard as
their arch enemy.
Members of the administration are
shouting over the victory they claim
to have won over the silver demo-
Gratis in Kentucky. They say that
previous to the publication of Presi-
dent Cleveland's anti-silver letter the
silver sentiment i'll Kentucky was
stronger than IN any state in the
South, with the possible exception of
Texas, and that if they could win in
Kentucky they can win III all the
other southern states. The silver
men admit that the news from Ken
tucky is not encouraging to their sue
cess in the south, but will not admit
defeat until the State convention
which meets next week acts.

Col. w. w. Dudley, of Indiana,
was for long, time regarded as one
of the shrewdest campaign managers
of his party, but since the first Harri-
son campaign he has not taken an ac-
tive part in politics. In a published
interview he gives the republican par
ty some advice, which is highly pleas
ing to the silver members of the party.
He said: 81 am sure that the repub-
lican managers would make a great
mistake if they were to so conduct the
campaign as not to carry the requisite
number of states in the electoral col
lege, and thus throw tie election into
the house of representatives. This
can only be done by so framing issues
or enacting legislation as to drive the
western and northwestern states away
from their allegiance to the republican
party. To so legislate, or act in con-
vention, as to make it Impossible for
those states to give US their electoral
votes, would almost inevitably result
IN driving them away from the repub-
lican party permanently. If the west
ern and northwestern states should
be lost to the republican party, in the
! electoral college what promise OF hope
is there, the election being thrown
| thereby into the House, that republi-
can representatives from those states,
as now selected, could be held to the
republican candidate ? We must look
this danger squarely in the face, and
it can only be averted by great wis
dom, conservatism and patriotism on
the part of republicans. We cannst
afford to throw the election into the
House, One of the objects Col. Dud-
ley had in view when he made public
his opinions, is already seemingly in a
fair way to be accomplished. That is,
the killing of the plan, advocated by
many anti-silver republicans, for
throwing the election of president in
to the House, in case the silver repub-
licans should object to the platform
or candidate. Col. Dudley has shown
it to be very risky.
