WHAT WAS SAID YESTERDAY.
Washington Post)
The Democratic National Committee
has been called TO meet at the Hoffman
House. in New York city, to-day, and it
is understood that they will be called
upon 10 discuss the failure OF the Chicago
people to subscribe the funds promised
to meet the expenses Of the Democratic
convention. The members Of the COM
mittee now I'm Washington, including
Senator German, said last night that
while rumors as 10 the failure Of the
Chicago people 10 make good their promi-
ses were current. they knew nothing def
nltely regarding the situation. There is
a general belief that the national COM
mittee has been made acquainted with
the fact that the money which was TO
have been subscribed is not forthcoming.
IL IL becomes necessary to abandon Chi

tive administration Of our President
Grover Cleveland. His services on be-
half OF sound finance and a stable cur
rency entitle him to the gratitude Of the

mental doctrine originated by Thomas JEFF

that the United States Will permit no
further acquisition Of territory on this
hemisphere by any foreign monarchical
government
I'VE sympathize with the patriots OF
Cuba I'm their struggle for freedom, and
look for a recognition of them by our

cessarily severing our peaceful relations
with a friendly foreign power"
