Mr.. CLEvELAND'S REPLY.
Will Not Lead Self-Seeking Canvass
for the Great Office.

Will Not Lead a Self-Seeking Canvass
for the Great Ofice.
To the foregoing letter Cleveland re-
piled March Q, from Lakewood, N. j., as
follows:
MR. DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 5th inst
is received. have thought until now that
might continue silent on the subjects which,
under the high sanction of your position as
my "fellow Democrat and fellow citiZen,"
and in your relation as true and trusted
friend, you present to me. If, in answering your
questions, might only consider my personal
desires and my individual ease and comfort
my response would be promptly made, and
without the least reservation or difficulty
But if you are right in supposing that the sub
ject is related to duty l owe to the country
and to my party, condition exists which
makes such private and personal considera-
tions entirely irrelevant.
The Presidency Peoples Office.
cannot, however, refrain from declaring to
you that my experience in the great Office of
president of the United States has so impressed
me with the solemnity of the trust and its
awful responsibilities that cannot bring my
self to regard candidacy for the place as
something to be won by personal strife and
active self-assertion. have also an idea that
the presidency Is -eminently the peoples
Office, and have been sincere in my constant
ical affairs on the part of all our citizens; con-
sequently 1 believe the people should be heard
in the choice of their party candidates, and
that they themselves should make nomina-
tions as directly as is consistent with open,
fair and full party organization and methods.
Anxious for His Party's Success.
Ispeak of these things solely for the purpose
of advising you that my conception of the
nature of the presidential Office and my con-
vction that the voters Of our party should be
free in the selection of their candidate, pre-
clude the possibility of my leading and push
ing a self-seeking canvass for the presidential
nomination, even if had a desire to be again
a candidate. Believing that the complete SUI
premacy of Democratic principles means in
creased national prosperity and the increased
happiness of our people. am earnestly anx-
ious for the success of my party.
A Hint to the Statesmen.
am confident success is still within our
reach, but believe this is time for Demo-
cratic thoughtfulness and deliberation, not
only as to candidates, but concerning party
action upon questions of immense interest to
the patriotic and intelligent voters of the land
who watch for an assurance of safety as the
price of their confidence and support.
Yours very truy,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Three Hundred Golfers Entombed in a

BRUSSELS, March 12.-There is weeping
and wailing at the Anderlius colliery,
near Charleroi. Around the plymouth
are gathered hundreds of women and
children rending the air with their des-
pairing cries, while down in the depths
of the mine over 200 men and women are
entombed. How many are dead is not
known for it has been impossible to pene-
trate the passage-ways, but if the list does
not reach 100 it will be miracle. The
cause of all this was an explosion in the
second gallery, 500 feet from the surface.
1t wrecked the shaft, tumbled the gallery
into ruins, choking it up with timbers and
debris, and of all the men and women at
work there but eighty have reached the sur

DETROIT, March 15-The Detroit Tri-

that Alger's dismissal for absence without
leave was recommended.

Sept. 16, 1864, General Custer reported
to Captain A. +. Dana, A. A. c., that
Alger left the command Aug. 20 to rejoin
it near Halltown and had not been on
hand since; that he (Custer) did not know
that Alger was absent until late on the day
he left, when Assistant Surgeon st Claire,
of the First Michigan cavalry, presented
an application for leave OF absence for
twenty days for Alger, stating that Alger
was indisposed. Custer says thatsas Alger

The Star is in error. There is no

Eight Democrats will hold a con-

those gentlemen dares confess that
he intends to vote the Republican
ticket.

EDITOR AGIrAToR: Having heard
Congressman Funston tell that calf
story every two years for the last
twelve or fifteen, and having been
interested in small way in the
calf-raising industry, when the hon
orable gentleman commenced to
represent the calf.raisers of this dis
trict, and to tell that celebrated calf
story, and, hearing that he was
going to tell that same old calf story
at Garrett on the 10Th, | proceeded
to give the 6. o. p. committee some
good advice and creased string to
tie around that calf story's neck :;
but the committee informed me that
he would not tell that calf story this
year; that congress had turned the
bovine calves, together with the
hogs and hog-lets, over to the ten
der mercies of the Armours, and the
products of the farms over to the
railway companies and boards of
trade, and that the government was
now raising a golden calf, and there
were no flies or lice on it; and that
they had no use for my advice or
the creased string in their business.

explaining why he craw-fshed on

made to the people two years ago.
He talked tariff good deal, but he
always does that when he makes po-
litical speeches, and always says the
same thing. He said no old soldier
who votes the Peoples ticket ought
to have a pension. His speeches
this fall differ from those he made
last fall in another respect: Last
year he abused the Peoples party
and Landed the Democrats, while
this year he abuses the Democrats
and deals out "taffy'' to the Popu-
lists. Great man is Foghorn!

JUDGE COLES POKER
It Saved the Books of the Firm
 from Seizure.
! STORMY SCENE IN NYAcK.
The Blauvelt- Cole Affair Bids Fair to
 Become Battle Royal.

RumOr That Cashier Cole is to Be Ar.
 rested and That Harry Blauvelt is to
 Be Prosecuted for Taking the Books oi
 the Firm---NIrs. Blauuelt Now Says II
 is a COnsDiracy to Break Up Their
 Business.
 NYACK, N. Y., Jan. 9.-A battle royal has begun here between the parties to the Cole-Blauvelt affair. The books re- gently examined by experts and sent by Dickinson to the creditors meeting in New York Wednesday have just been re- turned to Nyack. Hearing that they were in Judge Coles office Mrs. Blauvelt went there during the morning and de- manded them. Judge Cole refused to de- liver them, and Mrs. Blauvelt sought advice of her counsel, ex-Assemblyman Arthur s. Tompkins.
 Then Mrs. Blauvelt, her counsel, Harry Blauvelt, and Mrs Blauvelt's sister, Mrs. Dr. Polhemus, and William Polhemus, went to the Commercial building and made another formal demand of Judge Cole for the books and he again refused and stormy scene ensued. Mr. Tomp- Kline, Harry Blauvelt and young Polhe- mus attempted to enter the Judges office J and ordered them away at their peril. Harry Blauveit thrust his hand to his pocket, Polhemus swore and both women yelled.
 Well, mamma, they shan't doctor those books" shouted Harry.
 The whit,-haired old judge presented striking picture as he stood with uplifted poker defying the crowd and roaring in a loud voice: "Go away! Go away, tell you, before some one is hurt"
 The invaders started back and the iudpe at once closed and bolted his door. The enemy retired from the scene and the box of books was carried from Judge Coles office to the office of Lawyer Wyre Dick inson's counsel and placed in charge of a policeman.
 Mrs. Blauvelt was so excited that it was with difficulty that her sister induced her to leave the public building and go home. The scene and the noise drew many tenants of the building from their offices to witness the disturbance.
 Representatives of two insurance com panies compelled young Blauvelt to pro- unce their books which he took from the office. He claims he was justified and that he acted under orders from his father and special agent of the Royal Insurance company. He also asserts that Dickinson has hidden the expiration book Co prevent the bIauVeltS Knowing any thing about the expiration policies.
 When asked as to a current rumor that Cashier Cole is to be arrested, Mrs. Blau- welt said the matter was in the hands of her counsel but that severe steps would probably be taken in some directions be- fore many days. It is also reported that Harry Blauvelt is to be arrested for his action of Thursday night. Mrs. Blauvelt was indignant at the report and insists that conspiracy exists to ruin her and her husbands business.
 It is very evident that the business is already ruined, the offices being deserted except by young clerk, who refused to listen to orders from Harry Blauvelt and said he would only obey Dickinson. 1t is now impossible for the affair to be settled without further scandal to the injury of all concerned.
