About ow mile south of

it is because hisTorce has not I

The fres id?nfs tiewg
To Editor J. M. Head, of
the Nashville, Tenn.j Ameri
can, who called at the White
House yesterday morning,
President Cleveland . said
most emphatically that the
Wilson tariff bill would pass'
the Sena re and become a law..
It would come to a vot3 by
ie first of June. Speaking
of tlie outlook for his party,,
Mr. Cleveland expressed the'
greatest confidence. Hesaid
that the new tariff Imv would
give satisfaction and pros
perity to the country, and
the Demo ratio party could
successfully stand upcu the
achievements in the present
Congress. There had been
internal dissensions and dif
ference jis to what duties!
should be lowered or entirely
removed, but these would
not survive the passage f
t he bill.
With reference to the Cox
ey raovemeat, he was very
sever?. It, was a serious:
matter, and liable to e.'us.e
trouble. He criticised the
press for the aid w hich' had
been incidentally given by
widespread publication of tie
tails of the march, and de
clared that the latter should
have been either ignored 'or
er i eir nh.i lii-niiy condemned.
