When President Cleveland last March
gntimated that he intended TO break up |
the gangs and relegate the ringsters ano
bosses and bring forward men who were
above ward working, the democratic
marty leaders said he was either mad or
determined to close the career OF MS
party. They openly announced tha'
"surely Cleveland dosn't intend TO ever
run again for the presidency" ltseemed
that he intended to turn his back not
only upon all the methods which had
been employed to give his party success
at the polls, but the very men who had
secured the success by looking after the
details. 1t was declared that he had
suddenly grown better than his party.
When he begun to make his appoint
ments, after he had chosen his cabinet,
wherein he hal not exercised his hnest
scrutiny, it was discovered in most in
stances that the big offices went to per-
sonal friends who had doomed Cleveland
in Chicago in 1892 and who were not the
bosses.
There was method in that madness. l
have it upon the word Of a congressman
who is in the confidence OF the president
that when the subject of a third term
wa lroached to the latter during the
past few days Mr.. Cleveland's eyes
sparkled as he observed something
couchcd in words very much like these {:
"Do you believe they would want me
for another four years in the white
house,"
When he was assured that he was I'M
q~uestionably "the logic of the situation
the president again gave evidence OF his
pleasure and made an observation in
effect like this
"Wcll that is pleasant; but you know
the next contest is nearly three years
ahead Of us
In a number Of ways, in several delicate
forms OF phraseology, the president moi
only intimated that he thought that
third term for him was among the posi-
bilitics, but that he actually expected hls
work to grow. The president believe,
that be has broken down the barriers o
his party in many directions, and that h
candidate. He says he has cast aside tn
bent OF his party in favor of imitation anC
fiat currency, and if he defeats state ban
circulation in spite of the endorsement o
1t thy the party's national platform he will
having broken down the old policy o
free silver coinage, be the only standar'
bearer for the reconstructed democrati
party.
1t is reported that the recommends
tions of democrats in congress constitut
no guaranty whatever that the democrat
selected by communities will be az

brushes away Office seekers, but with
stroke OF his hand he undoes the wishe

organizers and party representatives
