WASHINGTON, June u LII reply TO
request from the New York Herald
for statement concerning the Demo
cratic situation. Present Cleveland
sent the following to that newspaper:
II have made no figures as to the
probable action Of delegates already
chosen or to be chosen to the Demo-
cratic national convention, but I refuse
to believe that when the time. arrives
for deliberate action there will be en-
grated upon our Democratic creed a
demand for the free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage Of silver. I cannot
believe this because I know the Demo
cratic party is neither unpatriotic nor
foolish, and because it seems so clear to
me that such course will inflict a very
great injury upon every interest Of our
country, which it has been the mission
of Democracy to advance and will
Result in Lasting Disaster &
to our party organic ation. There is
little hope that as a means Of success
this free silver proposition, after it's
thorough discussion during q political
campaign, will attract a majority Of the
voters of the country; 1t must be that
many of the illusions influencing those
now relying upon this al eyed panacea
for their ills will be dispelled before the
time comes for them to cast their bal
lots, which will express their sober Sec
ond thought. The adoption by the
Democracy Of this proposition would, 7
believe, give our opponents an advan-
tage, both in the present and future,
which they do not deserve. 4.% E-
Wants No Mistake Made.
"My attachment to true Democracy is
so strong that I consider it's success as
identical with the promotion of the
country's good. This ought sufficiently
to account for my anxiety that 10 mis-
take be made at our party convention.
In my opinion no effort should be
spared to secure such action of the dele
gates as will avert party de,noraliza-
ton. -r.s@ ss@<.&t

y II am very far from arrogating to
myself controlling influence upon the
policy of my party; but as an unfinch-
ing Democrat, who has been honored
by his party, and who desires hereafter
no greater political privilege than to
occupy the place of a private in its
ranks, I hope may not be blamed for
saying this much at this time, III the
interest, as it seems to me, Of the grand
old organization, so rich in honorable
traditions, so justly proud Of it's achieve
ments, and always so undaunted and
brave in it's battles for the peoples well
