What Cleveland Himself Says.

THE STATEMENT OF THE WASHINGTON POST
WITHOUT TRUTH OR AUTHORITY.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald in that paper Of Saturday last says
81 called on ex-President Grover Cleveland
Friday and showed him an article pub
lished in the Washington Post which stated
most emphatically and purported to be
given On the best authority that Mr.. Cleve-
land would not suffer his name to be used
as a candidate in the next Presidential
campaign, and that he was about to write
letter to that effect.
The despatch said further that caucus
of his friends had been held with view to
uniting upon some other democrat for 1892,
as all persuasion had failed with Mr.. Cleve-
land.
When I showed this to the distinguished
leader of his party, he thought it of so little
importance that he at first declined to be
interviewed on the matter. pointed ont
that the article would be copied all over
the country, and Mr.. Cleveland then con-
sented to reply to my questions.
HIS CAREFUL STATEMENTS.
asked him if he intended to write the
letter referred to. The following are MIR.
Cleveland's words, which I took down in
shorthand and then read over to him. Mr.
Cleveland said my notes were correct -
81 have never had such an intention. In
point of fact, am not giving very much
thought to the matter stated in tho de.
spatch you show me. 1 have not said any,
thing in public Or private to lead any one
to believe that I am anxious to obtain a re-
nomination to the Presidency.
'sMy ideas on that subject are quite well
understood by all with whom have con-
versed and who are at all entitled to be
called my friends.
"If it be true that there has been q con-
sultation of my democratic friends at which
conference my name was mentioned l know
