Tha spirit which pervades the con ventlnn la admirable. The platform will be etralght out for a proteotlve tariff and sound money. Th tariff will be on of the moat Important Issue of the cam paign, for It la an absolute neoesalty that there should be some additional revenue legislation to meet th continuing dellolt In the treasury.

CLEVELAND'9 ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. He Refuses tn Relieve That the Chicago Convention Will leelare For the White Metal Democrats Are 1'rgad to Fight Against Such a Coarse. WAsniNntoi. June 17. In reply to request for statement concerning th Democrntlo situation President Cleveland has snot th following to a Naw York newspaper: I have mad no figures a to th proba ble action of delegate already chosen or to b ohnsen to tbe Democratic national convention, but I refuse to believe that when the time arrives for deliberate ao tlon there will be Ingrafted upon our Democratic creed a demand for th free, unlimited and Independent oolnage of stiver. I cannot believe thl. because I know th Democratic party Is neither nn- patrlotlo nor foolish, and because It seema ao dear to ma that aneh a course will In dict a very great Injury upon every In terest of our oountry whloh It ha been the nil'olon of the Democracy to advance and will rn)t In lasting dlsnter to our party organisation. There la little hope that as a means of luooess this free allver prop ortion, after Ita thorough dlenslon during apolitical campaign, will attraot a majority of the voter of the oountry. It must he that many nf the Illusions Influ encing those now relying upon this alleged panacea for their 111 will be dispelled be fore the tlmn oomes for them to cant their ballots, whloh will express their sober sec ond thought. The adoption by the De mocracy of this propoaltlon would, I tie- lleve, give to our opponent an advantage both In the present and future whloh they do not deserve. To Avert Party Demoralisation. My attachment to true democracy I ao trong that I consider Ita auocess as Idcn tleal with th promotion of tha country' good, This onght ufllolontly to amount for my anxiety that no mistake be madn at our party convention. In my opinion no effort should be spnred to scoure such no tlon of the dclrgatu ai will avert party demoralisation. It la a plane fnr consultation and com pnrlsnn of view, and those Democrat who believe In the oause of sound money should there be heard and be constantly In evlilenae. A oause worth fighting for la worth fighting for to the end. If aound money Democrats aupposo there la danger of mistake being mada, suoh danger should etlmulate tbelr activity In averting It In stead of creating discouragement I am very far from arrogating to myself a controlling Innuenoe upon the policy of my party; but, as an unlllnnhlng Dem ocrat who ban been honored by bis party and who desires hereafter no greater po litical privileges than to occupy the plaoa of private in lta ranks, I hope I may not he blamed for saying thus much at thla time, In the Interest, as It seem to me, of the grand old organization, eo rich In honorable tradition, so Justly proud of Its aohlovenients, and always so undaunt ed and brave In It buttles for the people's welfare.
