Bitter fight looms at 1892 Democratic National Convention
Washington february 13. Special to the Post. Mr Cleveland's letter against free coinage shocks the free coinage camp and stirs debate among Democrats about his nomination prospects in 1892. Eastern leaders press for a sound money platform while warning that free coinage could cost New York New Jersey and Connecticut. Western states may offer some support but analysts say carrying Iowa Wisconsin Michigan Kansas New Jersey Minnesota and Connecticut would be required to offset losses. Cleveland's stance could boost his West standing if silver remains a key issue and the party weighs its broader economic vision.
