his party and In his determination to
have Il follow the policy laid down by HE

will be made by President Cleveland and
his friends to have the National Demo
cratic Convention Of July 2 endorse the
financial policy OF the present govern

Mr. Cleveland thEn who is to ba the
presidential candidate. II Is believed
that the administration will support.
without hesitation. any honest money
Democrat who may be nominated but
that It viii give no support to a free
silver candidate.
It is probable that Mr. Cleveland
personally has some choice as TO who
shall be his successor In Office and It has
been assumed that Whitney was his drst
choice and Carlisle his second IL IS
