The " Y. Eesaiag TsierrgAi says that not
wiihstasding all that IS said about the anx-
ieiy Of Mr. Cleveland TO be renor'lnaied for
the Presidency, " the 7eiegsUn Is in a POSI-
ton TO a ,nouncr, on uninT sachab'e aaihof-
iiy that the ex-Psesident recently wrote
letter declining to allow himself to be pnt
in nomination. This letter was written in
vigorous and sweeping language, Mr. Cieve-
land said. in the strongest and simplest way,
that he would not accept nomination.
No one but Mrs Cleveland knew Of the
letter. and she saved the situation. The ex-
President penned i; without the knosiedge
Of his political friends, in order to pre-
vent them from attempting TO interfere with
his action. Mr.. Cleveland intended 70 make
the letter public through the Associated
Press, and it was written with that purpose
in view.
"On the very day that the declination was
to be published Mrs. Cleveland saved the
situation by sending for one of the leaders
most trusted friends.
" To this gentleman Mr.. Cleveland frank
" confessed that be was sick of the little
ness and chickering's afN insults that daily
infringe upon bis private life that he had
not lifted so much as bis little finger to Sc
cure nominations that nothing would in
duce him to enter the race, and that he had
plainly said so in letter that could be print
ed at on
After a few minutes conversation Mr.
Cleyeland's friend induced him TO promise
that the letter would not be given 10 the As
sociated Press for twenty y-Iour hours. Word
was sent to several Of the most faithful and
level-headed Cleveland men. and a council
was hurriedly held. Mr.. Cleveland spoke
with great feeling at the council, bat be was
at last persuaded to withdraw the Letter"

Half Rates to Clergyman on the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

FennSylNanla Railroad.
In offering half rates to clergymen the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has insti-
tuted the most comprehensive and liberal ar
rangement ever adopted under like circum-
stances. Not only is the reduction availa-
bic by ministers Of the Gospel who reside
upon the lines Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, but it applies equally to those Of any
section of the United States, and the rate is
accepted on the entire Pennsylvania Rail-
road system both east and west of Pittsburg
A clergyman having charge in any por-
ton Of the west or south is entitled to trav-
el at half fare over the Pennsylvania on pre-
sentation of his clerical order to any ticket
agent of the company, and likewise the
clergymen Of the east may use the lines of
the company over their entire extent under
the same conditions.
Ministers of the Gospel were never before
accorded such concessions. and II is easy to
predict that they will show their apprecia-
ton Of the Pennsylvania Railroads liberaIi-
