THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.
Mr.. Cleveland Comes Out With a
Manifesto to His Party
IS OPPOSED TO FREE SILVER.
He Refuses to Believe That the Demo-
cratic National Convention VIII Favor
Free Silver Coinage, and Desires Here
after Only "to Occupy the Place OF
Private in the Party Ranks"


President Cleveland made the following
reply at Washington to areporter who asked
Of the President statement concerning the
Democratic situation:
"I have made no figures as to the probable
action OF the delegates already chosen or to
be chosen to the Democratic National Con-
vention, but I refuse to believe that when
the time arrives for deliberate action there
will be engrafted upon our Democratic
creed demand for the free, unlimited and
independent coinage OF silver. l cannot be-
Heye this, because I know the Democratic
party Is neither uupatrtot1c nor foolish, and
because It seems so clear to me that such
course will inflict very great injury upon
every interest Of our country, which II
has been the mission OF Democracy to ad.
vance, and will result In lasting disaster to
our party organization. There Is little hope
that means Of success this free silver prop
osition. after Its thorough discussion during
political campaign, will attract majority
of the voters of the country. It must be that
many Of the illusions Influencing those now
relying upon this alleged psnacea for their
Ills will be dispelled before the time comes
for them to cast their ballots. which will ex.
press their sober second thoughts. The
adoption by the Democracy OF this PROPOSE
ton would, I believe, give to our opponents
an advantage both In the present and future
which they DO not deserve.
My attachment to true Democracy Is 50
strong that consider its success a5 identi-
cal with the promotion OF the countrys
good.
"This ought sufficiently to account for nv
anxiety that no mistake was made at oul
party convention. In my opinion no effort
should be spared to secure such action OF the
delegates as will avert party demoralization.
"It Is place of consultation and compar.
son Of views, and those Democrats who be.
lieve In the cause of sound money should
there be heard ana be constantly in evidence.
"a cause worth fighting for Is worth fight.
Ing for to the end. Ifsound money Demo-
Gratis suppose there Is danger Of mistake
being made, such danger should stimulate
their activity In averting 1t instead OF Great
ing dlscouragement. -,
"I am very far from arrogatlng to myself
acort1 1olling influence upon the policy OF my
party; but as an undinching Democrat who
has been honored by his party and who do.
sires hereafter no greater political privilege
than to occupy the place OF private In its
ranks, hope may not be blamed TOR say
ing thus much at this time, In the interest,
as it seems to me, Of the grand old organiza.
ton, so rich in honorable traditions, 80
Justly proud Of its achievements, and al
ways so undaunted and brave In its battles
for the peoples welfare"

After the convention was In order prayer
was offered by the Rev. DR.. Samuel Gale,
Rabbi Of the Gates Of Truth congregation at
St. Louis. During the delivery OF the prayer
the entire convention remained standing.
There was some applause at the conclusion
OF the rabbits prayer, and then Secretary
Joseph Manley, OF the Nationa! Committee,
read the call for the convention. He was
cheered when he began.
At 1925 Chairman Carter presented
Charles W. Fairbanks, OF Indiana, to the con-
vention for Temporary Chairman. Tbs was
the signal for the first wild cheering OF the
day.
Mr.. Fairbanks's speech was frequently in
terrupted by applause. When he referred to
the home markets for American products,
the cheering was so great that he was COM
PEELED to rause for moment. He was
stopred again by cheering when he said that
thu R"puh!icans stood for Il currency that
Was the best in the world. When he de-
clarni with emphasis that the Government
could not 'by omnipotcnt fiat make fifty
ceats worth 100 cents" the sound money
delegates broke out into prolonged applause.
There were cheers also at the mention Of Mr..
Blaines lame.
The closing passage OF the temporary
chairman's S speech was quotation from one
of McKinleys speeches AMI was enthusiastic
caily recognized by the convention as such.
At the close Of the address 3Ir. Carter an
nounced the subordinate officials OF the con-
vention rs selected by the National Commit
tee and they were elected.
The polling of the State delegations for
