WASHINGTON, March IL, 1913.
Mr.. PoU's Inhibition for a Second Term-A Letter
from Tennessee Col. Zadock Pratt-IHe Pre-
sidency.
Mr.. Polk has become alarmed for fear that,
before the meeting of the Baltimore convention,
his secret designs and schemes for second term
will be generally known by those not in his Sc
cret confidence.
The leading friends OF Mr.. Buchanan have,
within a few days past, been lulled into false
security. One Of them, a few days ago, said to
me. &C oh, Mr.. Polk will not be in the way
that's all arranged" Yes, it is arranged, as
was the cat in the meal tub.
We now have openly in the field, on the de-
mocratlc side I'll, MIR. Cass; 2, Mr. Buchanan
3, Mr.. Woodbury..
A letter has recently been received in this city
by government officer, from a very distln-
gulshed Tennessean, (which has opened the eyes
of, at least, one candida for the Presidency.
la this letter, the true design is exposed. Mr..
Polk to be pressed IN the contingency that
neither Cass, Buchanan, nor Woodbury., can get
the nomination. The writer says: ''Mr. Folks
friends cannot take part IN any contest between
the present rivals for the Presidency, especially
when they are all wrong on one cardinal point
IN the democratic creed, VIZ: opposition to In
ternal improvements by the general government
We, OF our own accord, shall not present his
name tor nomination.. But who does not see
that, under the two-third rule. and amid the
present quarrels, he is the man to eventually
succeed! He asks nothing, yet If the party come
to him, as the only man to serve the party, he
canot refuse the srcrhce."
Mr. Polk, however, should not too fondy ex-
pect such state OF things. There may be some
one who nobody knows, that may, Gas he hum
sell was,) be brought forward as available.
lhere are hundreds who would make - the sa-
crfce % For our part, we 20 for Col. Zadock
Pratt, OF New York, a man OF more industry, en-
terprlse, honesty, aud common sense, than all
the Presidential asplrants combined. The bone
and sincw, the working men,, the mechanics
aud the agriculturlsts, would come up to his sup
port ; and why shall we not have practical"
man Tor our executive More than nine-tenths
of our countrymen earn their bread honestly, by
toll, and II would be to them as creditable to
take Mr.. Pratt as it was in the Romans to call
Cincinnatus from his plough. FELIX.
