President Cleveland Won't Sign Dingley Bill
Washington November 14 A Western news summary reports President Cleveland likely will veto the Dingley revenue bill if passed and sent to him, as administration insiders believe current tariffs will fund the government. Some Republicans doubt the move, while McKinley supporters fear difficulty in Senate passage and debate whether a limited revenues bill helps or hinders protection. Dingley and Lewis town Journal quotes suggest doubt over any quick Senate approval and the post March 4 Senate stance.
