Cleveland Has No Friends In Congress
Special to the Post Dispatch

special 10 the Fest Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Nov. at.-In its polit
ieal aspects the coming session of con
gress will be very peculiar as we'll a.
interesting one, and for the administra-
tion it promises to be stormy one
President Cleveland has only n handful
of friends left in either house who be
long TO his own party. Indeed the fac
ton which controls by an overwhelming
majority regards him as traitor To the
party, and SO far as it is concerned
his recommendations will fall on deaf
ears.
But worse than that is in store.
Things have changed in the last year.
Ii WAS apparent to careful observers Il
year ago that whatever success Presi-
dent Cleveland might achieve in carry.
ing out any policy must depend upon the
friendly co operation of the adninistra
ton and its party supporters in congress
with the Republicans. There had not
been As vet an open breach between the
president and majority of his own
party. They still cherished hopes of
official fayors which,they did not then
care to relinquish, and so bided their
time.
The administration played into their
hands. Administration sound money
Democrats Joined with free silver Demo.
Gratis and more than half of the Popu-
lists in the house in opposition TO the
proposed measures TO strengthen the
national treasury and preserve and
maintain the national credit and honor.
II the Democratic support of the ad
ministration in the senate had CO. oper
ated with the Republicans. as they
would have done if President Cleveland
had advised or approved of such a
course. the house bills TO increase the
revenue. provide for temporary defcien
eies and protect the gold reserve, as well
as the bill to amend the customs admin
istrative act. would all have become
laws before the end of the session. For
the failure of these necessary relief
measures. therefore. the administra
ton and its Democratic supporters in
the senate We're TO 4 great extent re-
sponsihle.
After the two St. Louis conventions.
which approved the nomination of Bryan
the leaders of the dominant Democratic
party were in high feather. They would
not have paid any sort of premium to
insure their candidate S success. They
no longer tried TO conceal their bitter
hostility to or supreme contempt for the
administration and its followers.
II remains to be seen whether the
president and his handful of supporters
in congress will consent, even at this
late day, and under most peculiar and
embarrassing circumstances. to CO.
operate with the Republicans in order
TO get revenue legislation through.

Mr.. Bryan's Attitude.
rom the New York Journal.

rum Tue Nth loEA
One of our esteemed contemporaries,
in commenting on Mr. Bryan s return
TO the platform as an advocate of the
cause which he represented so ably in
the recent national election. attributes
his prominence before the people at the
present hour solely TO his support of the
free coinage of silver. II is curious
that any editor should fail TO see that
in making sueh an assertion he admits
the vast importance of the free silver
theory and its tremendous hold on the
minds of the people. Mr.. Bryan $
personal power. which cannot be denied
even by the simple process of attributing
it to his principles. is factor of great
force; bat it certainly would not keep
him alive before the public after his
recent defeat if it did not have some
thing substantial behind it.
When has there been post election
period when the defeated candidate
dared to go at once before the people
with the defeated issues and say
Despite your vote, these things are
worthy of your serious consideration
II would have required something more
than ordinary boldness to make such an
attempt after the campaign of 1892
No Republican came forward at that
time with further argument designed TO
educate the people up to true under
standing of the issues in order that they
might vote more wisely this year Mr.
Bryan 5 present attitude is not that of a
man who lacks the strength 10 accept
defeat with dignity. He did that, but
he is impelled to go on with his work
simply and solely by the great popular
force behind him. He is working for
the future. and as The Journal has
already predicted. the issues of the
recent campaign will surely come
before the people again and the next
time the people will understand them
better.
