WANTS A THIRD TERM.
MR.. CLEVELAND Il PROBABLE CAN.
DIDXTE FOR REELECTION.
Mr.. MORGAN POINTS TO Mr.. STEVENSON
As the Next Presidential Nominee-The
Presidents Letter to MIR. Wilson Dis
cussed-Other Washington News.

Washington, D. c., July 15.-[Special -
A well-known democratic politician from
one of the middle states who has the
-' OF the white house, SO to speak, is au-
thority for the statement that Mr.. Clcve-
land Will be a candidate to succeed him
SELL MIR. Cleveland, he says, takes the
ground that it will not be a third term
In the strict sense of the word, as there was
one intervening term. This genetman says
further that Mr.. Cleveland is firm in the
oellef that he can be renominateG and re-
elected.
Morgan's Prediction.
senator Morgan's declaration that the
nhSer OF providence points to Adlai Steven
son as the next presidential nominee of the
democratic party was received here with a
great deal of interest. The wire pullers
in politics about Washington have been
casting about for some time to see whose
wagon to get on. Now that Morgan has
taken the initiative and proclaimed for
Stevenson there will be many who will tale
the finger of the providence utterance as a
prophecy in joining the wake. Should
Adlal enter in the concentration of events
and be nominated every original Adlai
man will be expected in the cabinet. 1t
is too early for predictions as yet but this
one of Senator Morgan is interesting be-
cause it is the first in this direction and
accords with the views and the wishes of
many of the leaders of the partv
Senator Morgan is now making his cam
paign tour through Alabama. Congress-
man Oates. who is trying to land the
governorshp says that if the question of
an election of the United States senator
should be left to the people he believes
Senator Morgan would receive eighteen
out of every twenty votes. The great fear
Is that the legislature will contain a ma
jorty of kolbites, who would, of course,
being in the majority, displace Senator
Morgan in the senate for one of their own
faction.
Alabama will be the headquarters of the
third party in the south during the coming
campaign in the fall, just as Georgia was
in the last congressional election. The
Alabama democracy did not as effectively
uprOot the third party in Alabama as was
done in Georgia, and while Georgia has
little to fear from such men as Tom Wat
son. Alabama is not considered in a rock
ribbed condition for democracy. The Ala
bama congressman are very anxious for
this session to close SO that they can get
into the thick of the fight and save the
state to the regular democracy.
An Ebony WrnuSle.
Ex-Congressman Bob SmaIIs and the pres
ent Congressman George Washington Muir
ray, of South Carolina, both claim to have
been regularly nominated for the fifty
fourth congress by the ebony constituency
of the first South Carolina district. After
considerable wranglng they have agreed
10 submit their pretentions to the arb
tratfon of Representatives Aspley, of Mas
sachusetts. Hit. of Illinois, and Settle of
North Carolina which compose a subcom-
mittee of the national republican commit
tee. Smalls claims to have been nominated
by Il convention composed of delegates
elected at the primaries. Murray dsclaims
this and asserts that Smallss convention
was snap convention and that he, Murray,
was nominated by the only bona fide
ventiOn of the district. Murray contemp-
tuOusly speaks of Smalls's followers as anti
snappers and predicts that his predecessor
will be as completely wiped off of the po
litical earth as the anti-snappers of New
York.
Nothing for Nicaragua.
There is little hope that there will be
any Nicaragua legislation at this congress.
When Representative Mallory reported the
Nicaragua bill, he. we'll the other
members of the committee through the
house, would at once act upon it in defer
ence to Mr.. Cleveands wishes in this
matter. But the committee on rules has
decided that III view of ether measures of
more Immediate Importance. if not greater,
il is not advisable to give the Nicaraguan
canal bill a hearing. This great measure,
therefore, viii be compelled to be side
tracked until the next session of congress,
owing to the usual rush Of business during
the short session. the fate of the meaure
will be exceedingly problematical.
Vote of Confidence.
Washington, d. C, July 16-[Special. /
The house. by vote of 125 to Il. passed
resolution endorsing the action of the pres
ident in ordering out troops 10 suppress the
riotous strikers in the west.
Mr. Pence and the populists attempted to
prevent the passage of the resolution and
precpitate a partisan debate against the
attorney general 1t, however, amounted to
but little.
A strange thing which, perhaps, very few
people know is that the laws under which
the president ordered out troops to quell
the riotous strikers in Chicago were hrst
enacted by the republicans during recon
struction days for the purpose of Quelling
kukluxisIn in certain sections of the south.
Speaker Crisp Is Firm.
Washington, ID. c., July 19.-(Speclal.)-
The action of the house today evidences
tn fact that with Speaker Crisp at the
throttle the house is not to be bulldozed
BY the senate into abandoning any demo-
cratic principle in the tariff bill, which IS
10 finally become a law. Speaker Crisp with
fine balance of the democratic party in
the house is committed to free raw mate
rial and he is determined that the house
shall not be driven from this position
His hand was clearly shown in the action
of the house today when the committee on
rules brought in order providing for a
vote on a motion that the house insist upon
agreement to the senate amendments to the
house tariff bill in gross and ask 1urther
conference. After several notable speeches.
the motion was agreed to by solid demo-
cratic vote amid great applause.
No Surrender to Sugar.
The scene of the day was when Mr. Will
SON. with his swollen and infialned race
covered with a handkerchief, announced
that the house would never recede from
It's position in favor of free coal and IRON
and that it would never agree to sugar
schedule which was made in the interest OF
q sugar trust. If it was true that the
SUGAR trusts was so strong that IL could
saw no tariff bill should be passed unless
its interests were protected, he hopeu
the house would never adjourn until re-
fined sugar was put on the free list AT the
conclusion of this sentence the house TAR
w went wild. Papers and books were
thrown in the air and democratic members
yelled in approval until they were hoarSe.
1t was an Indication that the mouse was
almost unanimous in its determination
not to allow the sugar trust to make TINS
hill to suit itself. Indeed, the house, by
IFS vote and acts, thoroughly endorsed the
action of the house cOnferees in not ac-
hill
