CLEVELAND AND THE PRESIDENCY

And now some optimist rises to remark
that Mr.. Cleveland is not candidate for
reelection to the presidency. Mrs Cleve-
land, 1t L. said, objects to having her hus-
band candidate, and in Difference to her
wishes the heavyweight statesman will
step aside and allow the sly Hill or the
poio. Gorman or some other ambitious
Democrat to carry away the nomination of
his party.
All this is pure nonsense Mr. Cleve-
land is as eager to secure the presidency
today as he ever was. 1t is safe to say
that Mrs. Cleveland shares his eagerness.
but, II she does not, the fact is not likely
to lessen it in any marked degree The idea
OF refusing the Democratic nomination, if
he should obtain it, has probably never
entered Mr.. Cleveland's head. He has
posed as candidate for the presidency
ever since he left the White House His
every attitude, his every utterance, spoken
or written, is that of self-acknowledged
candidate.
In spite Of this willingness to take up
once more the burden of office, however,
1t is evident u at Mr.. Cleveland's chance
of returning ITO the White House is con-
stantly growing less This is not because
OF any unwillingness on his part, however.
1t is apparent that the Democratic party
is growing tired OF its former idol, and
that it is prepared to name as its standard
bearer some more brainy and less clumsy
man than the obese ex-president.
1t will be hard blow 10 Mr. Cleveland.
but he will have to bear it.

The Democratic tariff reformers in
congress propose to ask the repeal of the
duties on wool, iron ore and coal, and TO
demand the placing of taggers iron, lead
and pig iron on the free list. This tariff
reform" measure is likely to be vigorously
resisted by many Democrats. Free coal
will not please West Virginia, Missouri,
Tennessee; nor will free pig iron find
favor in the eyes of Maryland, Alabama
or Tennessee. The West will not like
"free WOOL" neither will Texas The
proposition to reform" the tariff in the
matter of binding Irvine and protected
wooden goods will be opposed by the Dem
ocratic representatives of Massachusetts.

few minutes later they were walking

it was naturally Of the utmost impor-
