CHICAGO, March 15.-The German
Turner societies of the United States

introducing physical culture into the
public school curricula in Chicago and
elsewhere and they have exercised q
great influence in that and other direc-
tions.
Recently the Chicago district took the
initiative in inducing the national execu-

official part in the worlds fair, with a
view of exhibiting the German methods
of physical culture, the appliances and
other means of developing the body and

understood that it will appropriate $5o,-

in response TO a letter from General Ed
ward S. Bragg, Of Wisconsin, author Of
the famous phrase, I'VE Love Him tol
the Enemies He Has Made" The letter
is as follows:
LAKEWOOD, N. Y,
March 9, 1892.
Hon. Edward S. Bragg:
MY DEAR SIR-Your letter of the 9Th
inst. is received. / have thought until
now that / might continue silent on the
subject which, under the high sanction OF
your high position as my fellow Demo
crat and fellow citizen" and in your rela
tion as a true and trusted friend, you pre-
sent to me. If, in answering your ques-
tions | might only consider my personal
desires and my individual ease and com
fort, my response would be promptly
made, and without the least reservation OF
difficulty. Buff you are right in supposing
that the subject is related to duty owe
to the country and my party, a condition
exists which makes such private and per
sonal consideration entirely irrelevant.
| can not, however, refrain from declar-
ing 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 it's awful re-
sponsibilities that can not bring myself
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 pre-eminently the peoples office, and /
have been sincere in my constant advo-
cacy of the effective participation in po-
litical affairs on the part of all our citi-
zens, consequently | believe the peoE le
should be heard in the choice of their
party candidates and that they them
selves should make nominations, as dio
rectly as is consistent with opeh, fair and
full party Organization and methods.
speak Of these things solely for the
purpose of advising you that my concep-
Ton of the nature of the presidential
Office aud NY conviction that the voters
of our party should be free in the selec-
tion of their candidates, preclude the
possibility of my leading and pushing a
stlf-seeking canvass for the presidential
nomination, even if l had a desire to be
AGAIN cln, idate.
Believing that the complete supremacy
of Democratic principles means increased
national prosperity and the increased
happiness of our people, I am earnestly
anxious for the success of my party.
I'm confident SUI cess is still within our
reach, but believe this is time for
Democratic thoughtfulness and delibera-
tior, not onIy as to candidates. but con-
cerning party action upon questions of
immense interest to the patriotic and in
telligent Soters of the land, who watch
for an assurance of safety as the price of
their cor hdence and support. Yours very
truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
