LAKEWOOD, n. j., March 9.-MY
DEAR StR--Your letter of the 9TH
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 a true
and trusted friend, you present to
me.
If, in answering your question, |
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 subject is related to a duty ]
owe to the country and to my party,
a conditionexists which makes such
private and personal considerations
entirely irrelevant. | cannot, how.
ever, refrain from declaring to you
that my experience in the great
office of President of the United
States has impressed me with the
solemnity OF the trust and its awful
responsibilities, that | cannot bring
myself to regard a candidacy for the
place as something to be won by
+ personal strife and active self-asser
ton.
have also an idea hat the Pres
idency is prominently the people:
:, office, and l have been sincere il
my constant advocacy Of the effec
/ tive participation in political affair
on the part of all of our citizens
: consequently, l believe the people
, should be heard in the choice o
their party candidates and that the,
themselves should make nomina
t tons, as directly as is consisten
with open, fair and full party organ
~ization and methods.
l speak of these things solely 70
: the purpose of advising you that m,
conception of the nature of tn
presidential office, and my eonvic
ton that the voters of our part,
!. should be free in the selection @
I their candidates preclude the posi-
bility of my leading and pushing
self-seeking canvass for the presi
Dental nomination, even if | had
Y desire to be again a candidate.
Believing hat the complete su
2 premacy of Democratic principle
$ means national prosperity and in
creased happiness of our people,
5 am earnestly anxious for the success
of my party. I am confident success
is still within our reach, but [ be

Civilization of the Folding Bed.

FROM the New YORK truth
A stockman in Missouri was near
ly smothered to death the other
night by the shutting up of a large
folding bed in which he was re-
posing. The folding bed is an Or
binary comic feature, but it evident
ly has a very serious side. [ Won
der, however, why people in Mis-
souri, outside of the cities should use
folding beds. The only excuse for
a folding bed is want of room. The
folding bed is a boon to the person
who has but a single room. 1t is
more or less of an abomination,
however, because it is fraud-that
is, it pretends to be a bureau or buf-
fet, whereas tits a complex bedstead.
Still | have heard it said that life in
New York would be impossible to
persons with small incomes were it
not for the folding bed. New York
civilization may be said to be a
folding bed civilization. So a fold
ing bed is a necessity and it has
come to stay.
But l would rather sleep standing
up than trust myself to the tender
mercies of one of these beds. | am
always afraid the confounded thing
will shut up in the silent midnight
watches.
One goes to bed to sleep and not
to be smothered.
