OF the United States left the white house
and compare it with your idea OF how q
courageous man would have done it.
Tue arrangements we're pc fected in Mr..
Cleveland's private office, only those
who were to be his companions on the
duck-shooting OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Gresham and Carlisle aud Commander
Robley d. Evans Of the nRvy-being
present. The three gentlemen named
strolled carelsssly out Of the front door
OF the white house and entered a car
risge without being specially noticed.
At about the same time a carriage drove
TO the rear Of the white house and
man heavily armed stepped out and held
the door open while another man en-
veloped in an immense ulster with q
storm collar coming well up under the
brim Of big SLOUGH hat stepped hur-
risdly inside. The first man was one OF
the body guards who never lose sight Of
Mr.. Cleveland when he goes outside OF
the white house, and the other was Mr..
Cleveland himself The carriage was
then driven rapidly to the wharf and
Mr. Cleveland joined his companions
who went in the first carriage, aboard of
light house tender which steamed
away in two minutes after he stepped on
its deck II anything could be more alb
surd or more indicative of cowardice
than these acts of the president your
correspondent is at loss to name it.
A new candidate has entered the race
for the democratic nomination in 1896,
in the person Of Senator Voorhees,, of
Indiana. 1t would seem to ordinary
minds that his urse upor the silver
repeal bill, which angered both the sill
yer and the anti, silver democrats, would
have been sufficient to have destroyed
any hopes entertained by him, but the
mind of Senator Voorhees, is not an or
binary one, and he doesn't see it that
way. He thinks his bill for the coinage
of the seigniorage in the treasury and
the purchase and coinage OF 100000
worth Of silver month will make friends
for him in the west; he has scheme to
catch the south by favoring the repeal
of the tax on state bank currency, and
he expects to get solid with the wage
earners of all sections by opposing the
Cleveland tariff bill. Representative
Martin, Of Indiana, chairman of the
house committee on invalid pensions, is
chief wet nurse for the boom in the
house, and he will as far as possible
second the efforts that Mr.. Voorhees,
proposes making to bind the soldier vote
to him by opposing the pension policy
OF the administration. He calculates
that his opposition to civil service re-
foRm will make friends for him among
tie practical politicians OF his party
- short, he proposes TO utilize all the
p'ethods known 70 an experienced dem
agogue to tet the nomination.
Senators Sherman ana Frye, the re-
publican members OF the subcommittee
of the senate committee on foreign rsla-
tions which this week began the inves-
tigation of the relations of this govern
ment to Hawaii, under authority of the
Morgan resolution, will insist upon the
production Of the important documents
withheld by Mr.. Cleveland from con-
gress, and, as the investigation is to be
conducted behind closed doors and moth
ing made public until the investigation
| has been finished aud the recommends
ton of the committee agreed upon, it Is
difficult to imagine any good reason for
the documents not bei"" given to the
committee. 1t is certain that one of the
democrats on the sub committee-Sen
ator Gray--is familiar with those docu-
ments, and probable that the other two
Senators Butler and Morgan also
know their contents; and there is good
ground for the belief that Senator Nor
gan, chairman OF the committee, will
join with the republicans in demanding
that they be sent to the committee.
The administration men are showing
signs Of uneasiness about this investi-
cation, and we'll they may,
The Capitol Commission.
