Chicago, Dec. 1s-Merchants Board of Trade men,
bers. judges lawyers, and prominent of the
Chicago business world generally who asked to-
day for expression of opinion regarding the mes
sage Of the President to the Congress the Fenez-
uea test Of the Monroe Doctrine spoke approvingy
OF toe position taken by the Government, and in the
majority of cases INDUCED in enthusiastic praise
In a spirit of patriotism. There were few ex-
ceptions, but the criticism actuated by partisan
feeling. Among the leading Democrats identified
with the party management in the State and county
none could be found VINO would say for publication
that they approved of the criticism of the message
by Governor Mtgeld, and several were outspoken in
declaring that the Governor acted iil-adVsedly from
party standpoint although honest in his convic-
ton. Ex-Mayor Hopkins credited with saying
that the criticism would cost the Governor a
nomination and retire him politically.
II. ID. Armour said II think II is a very good mes
sage / DO not think we Will have any war with
England. matters have not reached the point
where they cannot be amcaby settled. but If there
is ! believe Il would be thoroughly justfable
the part OF the United States There are
great many Of lis Republicans who like Mr.. Cleve
land"
Marshall Field said: Some one will have 10 back
down In this international dispute. | need not say
whether IL will be the President or Lord Salisbury.
Ex-Mnister Lincoln says Lord Salisbury Of
ferei to arbitrate the question He may be willing
to do now
Ex-United States Senator Charles p. Farwel
said: II believe Lord Salisbury should have acceded
to President C.cvelands request for arbitration.
President Cleveland has the courage of his convic-
tons and believe the Monroe Doctrine should be
upheld strictly in the present dispute. The
boundary question IN Itself is SO small that great
nation like England could not we'll afford TO refuse
the request Of the United States for arbitration
