VETOED THE BILL
The President Unable to Longer Witn-
stand, the Great Pressure. .. ; v
CANNOT PASS IT OVER THE VETO
Speculation as to How It Will Affect
the Democratic Party Other
News' Matters. ;
Special to Thb Cheosicle.
Washington, March 69. President
Cleveland has .Vetoed the seigniorage
bill. Although the action is not a
matter of surprise, considering his former
outspoken sentiments upon financial
topics', added t the fact of great outside
pressmu brought to bear Upon him, his
action was by no means a foregone con
clusion. It is to be noted that he has
given, this question more serious atten
tion.: than any "other yet submitted to"
him, has discarded much of his hauteur,
a and given more courteous attention to
both the advocates and opponents of the
bill. His cabinet, too, have been divided
upon the question. The great prepon
derance of opinion, however, from such
financial centers as New York and Bos
ton, it is conceded, has 'had' most to do
in influencing him to veto the bill. The
veto is accompanied by a full explana
tion of his action, with a touch of apol
ogy and conciliation to his party.
There is much speculation already as
to what effect the action will have upon
the democratic party. As for Cleveland
himself republicans are inclined to sym
pathy for him for being in an unexampled
predicament, but a considerable number
of democrats dre boiling. The afternoon
papers will be full of caustic comment
for and against his action, one of them
going so far as to. intimate that he had
his mind made up to 'veto the bill all
along, but waited until the last day for a
show of indecision. , One effect that the
action will have is generally acknowl
edged that the democratic majority in
.congress are incapable of getting any
measures passed of any importance.
Coxey In Cblcago. -
, Chicago, March 28. Coxey appeared
at the horse sale at the stockyards, and
was greeted by loud cheers and calls for
a speech. Coxey 's .horses' brought but
$450, while he expected not less than
$1,000, and with this for a clue he round
ly scored existing conditions, charging
. the hard times to a "lack, of money."
This evil, he said, he proposed to remedy
by compelling the government to issue
bonds for $500,000,000. Coxey's Chi
cago lieutenant, Albert .Mason, claims
he will leave for the East Saturday. At
present the 5,000 is represented by 21
men.
THE DENVER CONTINGENT.
Denver, March 28. The Denver con-
Slhe QuestibhS
jt is a. simple one easily .
, decided by reason and
tingent for Coxey's army met today and
decided to take up the march for Wash
ington Saturday 'morning. They num
ber about fifty men, and expect to be
reinforced at Colorado Springs and Pu
eblo. TJfey. will.not walk, but expect to
capture an east-bound freight train.
Many of the men have no idea of going
on to the national capital, but will de
sert the first time they have an oppor
tunity of securing work. -
Again on tue'Blareh.
Alliance, O., March 28. Coxey's
army broke camp, after a good night's
rest on clean straw and a plentiful
breakfast of fried ham and pork, bread
and coffee, at 9 o'clock this . morning,
with . 193 men in line by actual count.
The next camp will.be at. Salemr 13
miles distant. It is scheduled to reach
there by 2 p. m., but the'thaw of yester
day, followed by the breeze of last night,
has rendered the roads rough, and the
end of the journey will probably not be
reached on time.'

facts. . . . .

Robert W. Allen, an early 'pioneer of

his borne in Goldendale. He was 67
years of age. He has been ailing for the
past year, and for the past two months

It is expected that today will be the
great day of, the Breckinridge trial, un
less the cross-examination is too long
drawn out. The silver-haired defend

begin his version of the long intrigue.
The senate committee on foreign rela

Editor Chboniclb: " . ''.
' The Times-Mountaineer complains in
a ' recent issue that "three prominent
candidates-were slaughtered at the last
election ;" but the people complain
loudly of some' of those that were not
slaughtered at the same time. The
Mountaineer also says that "Wasco
county is republican ; and so say I, Wasco
county is republican, and if the next
convention will, take heed to itself., get
the idea out of their heads that the re
publican party is a charitable institu
tion, drop the pensioners and political
leeches, bounce the professional office
seeker, put up a -good clean ticket of
competent men, capable of filling in a
business-like manner the- qffices to
which they were elected; men who will
not s6 readily forget that they are the
servants of the people and . not - their
masters; and let the convention not'
lose sight of the fact (proven) that a
nomination is not an election in this
county, if it is republican, and. also that
the voters have the last say as to who
shall represent them in office, there is
no trouble about electing the ticket if
clean hands are held up, and ones that
have not wearied ou,r eyes for ages past.
