CLEVELAND THE MAN
SAYS W. II. FLEMING.

my opinion, while / differed with |
him on the money question, the
most available man for the Demo
cratic nominations is Grover
Cleveland" said Hon. W. H.
Fleming yesterday.
AS the money question, or the
free coinage of silver has been
eliminated by the course of
events, all that I can see in the
future points to the wisdom of
the nomination of Cleveland. If
the Democratic party cannot
elect Cleveland, they cannot elect
any man. That's the way it
looks to me.
while 7 am not in politics and
am no candidate for Office, and do
not expect to be, I take an inter-
est in national affairs, and when
in Washington several weeks ago
I found a strong undercurrent
| for Cleveland or some man of his
position. Prominent southern
Democrats and free silver men,
who would not care to talk for
publication, freely confessed
that the solution of the question
was the nomination of Cleveland.
Nov that Mark Hanna is
dead the wisdom of Cleve1and's
nomination is practically I'M
questioned. The death of
Hanna increases C1eve1and's
chances to win by ten per cent,
in my opinion. While Hanna
was living his influence with the
business centers was great.
Now l believe that C1eye1and
would have more of the conf
dence of the business men and
financiers of the country than
any man likely to be in the
race.
CLEVELAND NO TRAITOR.
L have never charged Cleve-
land with being traitor to his
position on the money question,
and took occasion some years
ago to defend him from the
attacks of the free coinage of
silver men. I was a member of
the convention in Georgia that
helped to nominate Cleveland in
1892. In the platform on which
he ran there we're two distinct
planks on the money question,
one for the goald standard, put
there to hold eastern and west
ern votes, and one for the free
coinage of silver, put there to
hold the southern votes. MOI
statesman on earth could have
made the two planks dove-tail,
and Cleveland had as much right
to stand on his plank as on the
plank so popular in the south.
While l differed with him I re-
cognized the right he had to his
position.
While I am an admirer of
Bryan, I do not agree with him
as he still persists in making the
free coinage of silver one of the
campaign issues. At least he
wishes and would have it in the
platform, and no power could
prevent our. opponents from
making it an issue. The money
question is eliminated. What we
fought for has practically been
accomplished, and that is, a
larger per capita of circulation.
When we made the fight in 1896
the per capita Giro ulation was
,$22, and in recent years it has
st eadily increased until now it is
nearly $32. If at the 1896 ma
tiona1 convention any one had
asked what per capita circula-
ton would be demanded, no one
would have had the temerity to
have put the figures higher than
$50. This is now exceeded.
While I am vet for the same
