CLEVELAND'S LETTER.
He Seems to Expect to be
Nominated.
He Owes 1t to the Country and His
Party to Wave Personal Consider
ations-Candidacy for the Presl-
dency Should Not be Won by Self
Assertions.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, March 16.-Cnder date
of March General Edward S. Bragg wrote
q letter to Cleveland from Fond Du Lac,
and received reply substantially as follows:
Il have thought until now that / might
continue silent on the subject which, under
the high sanction of your position as my fel-
low democrat and fellow citizen, ana in your
relation as a true and trusted friend, you pre-
sent to me. II, in answering your question,
/ might only consider my personal desires
and my individual ease and comfort, my re-
Spouse would be promptly made and without
the least reservation or difficulty. But if you
are right in suppo sing that the subject is re-
lated TO the duty / owe to the country and to
my party. the condition exists which makes
such private and personal Considerations en-
tirely irrelevant. l can not, however, refrain
from declaring TO you that my experience IN
the great Office of president of the United
States has SOimprcSSed me with the solemnity
of the trust and it awful responsibility, that
can not bring myself 10 regard a candidacy
for place as something to be won by personal
strife and active self-asSertion. | have also
an idea that the presidency is prominently
the peoples office, and have been sincere in
my constant advocacy of the effective par
ticipation in political affairs on the part
of all our citizens. Consequently, believe
the people should be heard in the choice of
their PARTY candidates, and that they them
selves should make the nominations, as di-
rectly as is consistent with open, fair, full
party organization and methods. speak of
these things solely for the purpose of advis-
ing you that my conception of the nature OF
the presidential office, and my convection
that the voters of our party should be felt In
the selection of their candidates, preclude
the possibility of my leading and pushing
self-seeking canvass for the presidential NOM
nation, even If had the desire to be again
candidate. Believing that the complete su-
premacy Of democratic principles means the
increased happiness of our people, l am
earnestly anxious for the success of the par
ty. am confident that success is still with
in our reach, but believe this is time for
democratic thoughtfulness and elaboration,
not only as to candidates, but concerning
party action upon questions of immense in
terest to the patriotic and intelligent voters
of the land, who watch for assurance of safe
ty as the price of their confidence and

Pratt Republican: A vast acreage OF

Saint Francis Rustler- Review: A large

February farming is possible only in
Cheyenne county, and increases the pros
poets of heavy crop by large per

Hays City Sentinel: If our old set
tiers in Ellis county will look back
eighteen years, they will remember that
during that time all the wheat ever
raised in this county comes, since 1874.
Prior to that time there was not single
wheat field found in this county. Now
we have one hundred thousand acres of
that cereal growing. Is that any prog
ress?
Humboldt Union: Now is the time
to prune your grape vines. Remember
it is last years. wood that bears grapes
this year: the old wood never bears.
Cut off all new wood of last years
growth down to three buds; that is to
say, leave spur of new wood three buds
long, cut and throw away all other.
Don't forget this and you will have
abundance of grapes and of good size.
Cedar Vale Star: John Harp is tear
ing up the whole face of the earth again
this year. He had forty-five acres ready
to SOW to oats the first of the week; had
forty acres of corn land plowed and will
put in something over 100 acres, and
last fall he sowed 100 acres to wheat.
All this has been done with two teams,
and the cash outlay in putting in the
100 acres of wheat was only $50. John
Harp is getting there.
A paper out on the western frontier
of the state tells this: Paul Burk was
supplied by the local committee last
spring with eight bushels of seed corn,
of which he stood in great need, not
having the money to buy it. He this
week finished marketing 1000 bushels
of corn, which brought him nearly $500.
He has plenty of corn left to carry him
through the farming season, and more
to sell if necessary. He raised good
crop of small grain also, and did all his
farm work with one team of oxen.

NEW YORK, March 1i-R. G. Dun i Co. .
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The distribution of products is unqnestion-
ably improving. Transactions are larger
than year ago, in spite of the depression at
the south, being very much larger at
the west. Nor is the impro cement confined
to that section; it is also distinctly felt in the
east, and there are signs that trade at the
south, though still much embarrassed by the
low price of cotton, is steadily gaining.
With all the great industries active, with
money abundant, in spite of gold exports,
and with speculation kept in wholesome
check, the outlook would seem to be unusu-
ally favorable, notwithstanding general COM
plants that prices are low and margins of
profit unusually small.
Iron has teen a dismal feature, but instead
of decrease there has been a large increase
in the output of the last week, SO that on
March l it was the largest ever known. The
trouble in this industry Is the excessive CON-
petition and excessive production, with irregu-
lar consumption. Southern companies are
trying to consolidate.
Textile industries are improving. While
buyers do not speculate and the tone is weak
er, it is clear that manufacturers are taking
wool more largely. On the whole, more ma
chinery is BUSY than year ago.
Speculation in products is weak, wheat be-
ing pa cents lower, corn &c and exports
falling much below those of recent weeks.
Oats and pork products are unchanged. Oil
is sc higher, but coffee is sc lower. A drop
of &c in cotton puts the price down to 6.93,
the loyest for more than forty years, and
receipts continue to exceed last years, though
this week the exports fall behind.
All exports from New York show a decrease
for the month thus far of about 8 per cent.
Though money is abundant the rates on
call have slightly advanced and the market
for commercial loans is a little sitter at most
eastern cities.
TIE business failures throughout the coun-
try during the last seven days number 256,
compared with 249 last week, and 273 for tho
corresponding week last year.

A New Field Gun.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 10.-A newly
patented machine-frlng gun, which is
claimed to be superior to all other rapid-fr-
ing guns in existence, was exhibited to the
senate committee on military affairs. Sem
ator Hawley, of Connecticut, Frye, of Maine,
and Blackburn, of Kentucky, together with
Major Martin McGinnis, witnessed the dis
play made by the inventor. Instead of feed
ing the cartridges from the top, as in most OF
the other rapid-firing guns, the cartridges
are fed from below by simple continuance
something like chain. 1t is claimed that
from $50 to 800 shots can be fired in a
minute.
General Arson McCook, who was also pres
ent, like Senator Hawley, is regarded as an
pleased with the performance of the new
field piece, which, even in its crude state,
gives promise of becoming remarkable i'm
plement of warfare.
