THE PRESIDENT TALKS ON THE
DEMOCRATIC SITUATION
AT PRESENT.
A SILVER PLATFORM MEANS RUIN.
He Refuses to Believe the Chicago
Conventin Will Endorse the Sill
yer Craze-He Urges Sound
Money Men to Activity.

Washington, June 15.-In reply to a
request from the New York Herald for
a statement concerning the Demo-
cratic situation, President Cleveland
tonight sent the following to that
newspaper:
Il have made no figures as to the
probable action of delegates already
chosen or to be chosen to the Demo-
cratic national convention, but refuse
to believe that when the time arrives
for deliberate cction there will be en-
grated upon the Democratic creed a
demand for the free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage of silver. | can not
believe this, because | know the Demo-
cratic party is neither unpatriotic nor
foolish, and because it seems clear to
me that such a course would inflict
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 party
organization. There is little hope
for success of the free silver PROPOSE
ton after a thorough discussion dur
ing the political campaign. The
many illusions influencing those now
relying upon this alleged panacea for
all ills will be dispelled before the
time to cast ballots, which express
sober second thought.
The adoption by the Democracy OF
this proposition would, believe, give
our opponents an advantage, both
present and future, which they do not
deserve. My attachment to true
Democracy is so strong that consider
it's success identical with the promo
ton of the country's good This ought
to sufficiently account for my anxiety
that no mistake should be made at the
convention. In my opinion no eff
fort should be spared to secure sue
cessful action by delegates to avert
party decentralization. 1t is the place
for consultation and comparison of
views and those Democrats who be-
lieve in the cause of sound money
should there be heard and be con-
stantly in evidence. The cause is
worth fighting for to the end.
IF sound money Democrats suppose
there is danger of mistake being
made, such danger should stimulate ac-
tivity, avoiding instead of creating dis
enlargement. Far from arrogating
to myself the controlling influence of
the policy of my party, but as an I'M
finching Democrat who has been hon
ored by the party and who desires
hereafter no greater political privi-
leges than to occupy place Of private
in the ranks, / hope l may not be
blamed for saying this much at this
time. 1t seems to me a grand old or
ganization, so rich in honorable tradi-
tons, justly proud of her achieve
ments, and always undaunted and
brave in battles for the peoples well
fare"

PENSIONS.

The veterans of the wars deserve and
should receive fair treatment and gen.

they should be given the preference in
the matter of employment and they are
entitled to the enactment of such laws
as are best calculated to secure the full
fillment of the pledges made to them in
the dark days of the countrys peril. We
denounce the practice of the pension bu-
reau so recklessly and unjustly carried
on by the present administration of re
names from the roll as deserving of the
seyerest condemnation of the American
npOple.
