He Has Never Refused to be q

From the n. Y. Herald

1 From the N. Y. Herald.
, | called on ex-President Grover
Cleveland yesterday and showed
him an article published in the
Washington Post which stated most
emphatically and purported to be
given on the best authority that Mr..
Cleveland would not suffer his
name to be used as q candidate in
the next Presidential campaign, and
that he was about to write a letter
10 that effect.
The dispatch said further that
caucus of his friends had been held
with a view of uniting upon some
other democrat for 1892, as all per.
suasion had failed with Mr.. Cleve-
land.
| When I showed this to the dis
tinguished leader OF his party, he
thought it of so little importance
that he first declined to be inter-
viewed on the matter. I pointed
out that the article would be copied
all over the country, and Mr.. .C.eve-
land then consented to reply to my
questions.
HIS CHEERFUL STATEMENTS.

write the letter referred to. The
following are Mr.. Cleveland's
words, which l took down in short
hand and then read over to him.
Mr.. Cleveland said my notes were
correct
~ have never had such an inten-
ton. In point of fact, l am not
giving very much thought to the

anything in public or private to

anxious to obtain a denomination
to the Presidency.

name was mentioned l know moth.
ing about it.

fidence in the unselfish democracy
of my friends that whatever they
may determine On l am sure will
be for the good Of the party. / have
not expressed to them any settled
determination touching my relation
to the next campaign, and there
has, therefore, been no occasion for
them to attempt to have me change
such determination"

The DR.. was a great student and
an indefatigab.e worker. He gave
his life to the study and practice OF
his profession and kept fully up
with the progress and advancement
OF medical science, new remedies,
new theories and new practice and
the general advancement of the
profession. In addition he was a
