CLEVELAND TO EDITORS.
The President Write. Letter to the Dem

The President Writes q Letter to the DEM
ocratic Newspaper Men of New York.
New YORK. May 25.-The two days
stay of the democratic editors came to
an end last night when q banquet was
rendered them at Delmonico's. Col.
William Brown was toast-master. He
introduced John A Mason, who read .
letter from President Cleveland which
expressed regret at his inability to be
present, saying:
''When q campaign is actively on
foot to force the free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver by the
government at a ratio which will add
to our circulation unrestrained mill
lions of so-called dollars, intrinsically
worth but half the amount they pur-
port to represent, with no provision or
resource to make good any deficiency
in value. and when it is claimed
that such q proposition has any re-
lation to the principles of democracy,
1t is time for all who may in
the least degree influence demo-
cratic thought to realize the response
bility. Our party is the party Of the
people. not because it is drifted hither
and thither by every wave of popular
excitement and misconception, but be-
cause, while it tests every proposition
by the doctrines which underlie its or
eanization, it insists that all interests
should be defended in the administra-
ton of the government, without es-
pecial favor or discrimination. Our
party is the party of the people,
because in its care for the well
fare of all our countrymen it
resists dangerous schemes, born
of discomfort; advocates by ap-
peals to sectional or class prejudices
and reinforced by the insidious acts of
private selfshness and cupidity. Above
all, our party is the party of the peo-
pie, when it recognizes the fact that
sound and absolutely safe money is the
life blood of our country's strength
and prosperity, and when it teaches
that none of our fellow-citizeuS, rich
or poor, great or humble, can escape
the consequences of a degeneration of
our currency. Democratic care and
conservatism dictate that if there
exist Inconvenience and hardship re-
sulting from the congestion or imper-
feet distribution of our circulating
medium, a remedy should be applied
which will avoid the disaster that must
follow in the trail of silver mono
metallism-"

INTERESTING BOND DECISION.
A TwO-Thirds Vote of the TownspeopIe
Decided to BE Requisite.

A Two-Thirds Vote of the TownspeopIe
Decided to BE Requisite
CLEVELAND, o. May 25.-Judge Kicks,
sitting in the United States court, yes
terday handed down a decision which
establishes an important precedent and
indirectly affects millions of dollars
worth of municipal bonds issued on the
authority of special legislation and not
authori- ed by popular vote of the
people, living in the town or city by
which the bonds are issued.
Bonds issued without a two-thirds
vote of the people are practically de-
clared to be worthless 1t is said
that millions of dollars worth of
bonds have been issued by the various
towns and cities throughout the state
which will be affected by this decision
Another phase of the case is the pos
sibility of such bonds being redeemed.
Such redemption could be restrained
by any taxpayer on the ground that
the act by which they were issued was
constitutional.
