Corre?wiifJence of the ali.limnn. ator Gorman s Presidential looni, which has been carefullv nursed for some time by some of the; Democrats in tJongre-ss has grown , vonderfully ssince the publication of Mr. Cleveland's anti-free coinage letter. Four-fifths of the Democrats in both House and Seriate have stated their belief that Mr. Cleveland's nomination is an im- IM'i'- 1 ! po?ioimy now, ana in looKing over (he field for a successor many of them think that Gorman is the iuaii. Air. Gorman voteil for the Vest free coin age bill, which recently passed the Senate, but those who know him best say that his object in dojug so was not to secure free coinage, to which he is in reality opposed, but to put the , Re publicans in a hole. However that may be he is now counted as a friend of free coinage and it is among the Democratic free coinage men that he has his backing- for the Presidential nomination. J'he silver men recognizing that it will now be next to impossible to se cure th passage of thu Vest free coin age bill in the Uouse even if the com mittee keeps its promise and reports it back to the House this week, have had a new bill introduced in the House providing for the free coinage of silver from American mines, but the session is so near its cIosh that there is little probability of this new bjll being acted upon. Sympathizers with the Farmers' Al liance and kindred movements are un der the impression that Mr. Cleveland's letter will prove a powerful "factor .in determining the fate of the Alliance or third party- movement. If Mr. Cleveland can dominate the IV'mocrat ic party and get hfmsejf nominated en a plattorin with a gold financial plank, as some of the longest headed politi cians Jiere think he can, and the Re publicans put a similar plank in their national platform, as they are certain to do, it is behe-red that a thud parts favoring tree coinage of silver will be the result, f lie South is unquestion ably, in tivor of the free coinage' of silver, hot the imnortaut probTem is can it be depended upon, in the face of the negro qucslibn, which has been the ruling one im that section for twenty-five years, to support a thin party.
