CLEVELAND OF GOOD CHEER.
HE CANNOT BELIEVE THE PARTY
WILL DECLARE FOR SILVER.

The Democracy Incapable of Being
so UnpatriOtic or so FOOIIsh-The
President Convinced That the En-
actment OF a Law for the Free
Coinage of Silver Would Infict a
Great Injury on the Country.
Wants Hereafter no Greater Priv
iIege Than to BE Private in the
Democratic Ranks.
Washington, June 16.-President Cleve-
land to-day made the following reply to
a representative of the New York Herald,
who asked Of the President statement
concerning the democratic situation.
Mr.. Cleveland said: Il have made no
figures as to the probable action OF the
delegates already chosen or to be chosen
to the democratic national convention,
but 1 refuse to believe that when the time
arrives for deliberate action, there will
be engrafted upon our democratic creed
a demand for the free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage of silver. I cannot be-
lieve this, because 1 know the democratic
party is neither unpatriotic nor foolish
and because it seems so clear to me that
such a course will inhict a very great
injury upon every interest Of our coun-
try, which it has been the mission of the
democracy to advance, and will result
in lasting disaster to our party organiza-
ton. There is little hope that as a means
Of success this free silver proposition
after it's thorough discussion during a
political campaign will attract a majority
of the votes of the country.
1T must be that many of the illusions
influencing those now relying upon this
alleged panacea for their ills will be dis
PEELED before the time comes for them to
cast their ballots which will express
their sober second thought. The adop-
ton by the democracy of this PROPOSE
ton would, l believe, give to our oppon-
ents an advantage both in the present
and future, which they do not deserve.
My attachment to true democracy is
so strong that 1 consider its success iden-
teal with the promotion of the country s
good This ought sufficiently to account
for my anxiety that no mistake be made
at our party convention. In my opinion,
no effort should be spared to secure such
action of the delegates as VIII avert party
Generalization. 1t is a place for consulta-
ton and comparison of Views and those
democrats who believe in the cause of
sound money should there be heard and
be constantly in evidence. A cause worth
fighting for is worth fighting for to the
end If sound money democrats suppose
there Is danger of a mistake being made,
such danger should stimulate their ac-
tivity in averting it instead of creating
Encouragement. / am very far from ar
rogating to myself a controlling influence
upon the policy of my party; but as an
undinching democrat who has been hon
ored by his party and who desires here
after no greater political privilege than
to occupy the place of private in its
ranks, 1 hope I may not be blamed for
saying thus much at this time, in the
interest as it seems to me, of the grand
old organization, so rich in honorable ira
ditions, so justly proud of it's achieve
ments, and always so undaunted and
brave in its battles for the peoples wei
fare"

fort to accomplish the impossible task OF
reaching every part OF the immense au-
olIorium, became painfully distressed but
sun most OF his points were taken up by
those nearest him. and those at a dis
tance waved their fans in unison with the
applause Of those in front. HIS reference
10 the impossibility Of compelling 80 cent
silver dollars 10 circulate in unlimited
numbers on parity with gold was greet
eS with loud burst of applause. while
Senator Teller smiled sardOnically and one
emitted a dismal owl-csM. His reference
10 Blaine produced a genuine demonstra-
uon' the convention rising and cheering
repeatedly.
When Cuba was referred to flags were
waved and there was considerable hand
clapplng. This applause was redoubled in
recognition of his closing sentences de
claring that the fight of 1896 was between
free trade and free silver against homes Z
money and protection.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Fairbanks
speech, Mr. Carter proposed the ap-
pointments Of the secretary, assistant
secretaries, Sergeant-at-armS official
stenographer and other officials, and the
persons so named were declared duly
appointed.
Mr.. Lamb, delegate from Virginia. Of
cred resolution, which was agreed to,
that until a permanent organization is
effected the convention will be governed
by the rules Of the. last republican con-
VentiOn.
Mr.. Lamb also offered another resolu-
ton, which was also adopted, ordering
that the roll of states and territories
be now called and that the chairman
of each delegation announce the names
of the persons selected to serve on the
several committees, as follows;
lon permanent organization.
2.-On rules and order Of business.
Son credentials.
4.-On resolutions.
Also that all resolutions in respect to the
platform shall be referred to the commit
tee without debate
The states were then called for their Sc
lection of delegates as members of the sew
eral committees.
When the name of Senator Teller was
announced as a member of the committee
on rules for his state, there was a small
outburst of applause, after which the call
was proceeded with.
When Massachusetts sent up the name
of Senator Lodge as its representative on
the committee on resolutions, there was a
ounter-demonstrat.on on the part of the
gold standard men.
Mr.. Clayton of Arkansas sent up a reso-
luton, which he desired TO have read and
referred but objection was made to its
being read and 1t was referred without
reading. 1t related to the determination OF
election contests.
Another resolution from the colored peo-
pie of Illinois affecting their rights as a
race was treated in a like manner.
After an announcement Of the places and
times of meeting of the four committees,
the convention at l:47 o'clock, adjourned
to tomorrow morning at 10 o. clock.

DEMOCRATS OF CALIFORNIA.
The Sound Money Men in "A Hopeless
Minority.

Minority.
Sacramento, Cal, June 16.-The demo-
cratic state convention was called 20
order this afternoon at o'clock amid
scenes OF great excitement.
The followers of Chris Buckley. the
''blind boss" of San Francisco, forcibly
entered the convention hall and appro-
priated seats before the meeting conven-
ed Failing to secure recognition from
Chairman Gould, who was nominated
by the free silver element, they were
elected by the sergeant-at-arms, after
creating a great uproar.
The admins sTation forces, under the
leadership of John Daggett, superintend-
ent of the San Francisco mint, were par
TALLY successful in placing their men on
the various committees, but they are in
a hopeless minority and it is conceded
= by all that a free silver platform will be
adopted. The numerous factions have
apparently patched up their differences
and there are no indications of bolt.
The Buckley contingent was practically
drummed out of the party.
After electing Frank Gould of Stock
ton chairman, and appointing the usual
committees, the convention adjourned un-
til o'clock tomorrow morning.

rounds he gave returns. Up to the thir-
teenth round, Dixon, although not up to
his old-time form, kept Flaherty on his
metal and had a decided advantage. In
the twelfth round Flaherty was forced SO
hard that he was obliged to do something
desperate and he rallied, Succeeding ia
getting Dixon to the ropes and landed 4
couple of half arm blows that pleased The
crowd greatly For the balance of tha
contest Flaherty only attempted to defend
himself from Dixon's blows and simply
played for draw, which was declared II
