New York, June Sit is only in New
York that much attention has been paid
to reports that Mr.. Cleveland is willing
to consider the possibility of third term
for himself. Yet New York should be TIE
very last place in which such rumors
could find credence, because it is to pub
lie men in the metropolis that the Presi-
dent has expressed himself most emphat-
ically or the subject. Many New York
ers of national reputation have received
verbal and written intimations of Mr..
Cleveland's positive intention to retire to
private life when his term of office ends.
William c. Whitney is probably the best
informed man in this respect, for he has
letters from Mr.. Cleveland in which that
gentleman categorically denies any m
tention to be a candidate again. Indeed,
are letters in existence, addressed to more
than one person. setting forth this we'll
considered determination to retire perma-
nently to private life. The Presidents
law partners have, moreover, perfected
arrangements for him to resume the prac-
tice of law with them in a year or two.
Quite apart from any political consid-
Grafton, however is the condition of Mr..
Cleveland's household. His wife will, un-
der no circumstances, hear of any more
public honors. The children are growing
up and they are not receiving tne person
vate life would make possible. Then there
is the future to consider. Mr. Cleve,
lands private affairs are not in a -four
ishing condition. He has some interests
which ought to be looked after by himself.
Again, there are the nervous strain and
care of Office 1t is significant that Mr.
Cleveland has been arranging to buy a
house in New York. AS for ambition he
could get no higher than he is, and an
other term could scarcely make him
greater.
There Is a story, however, that Mr.
Cleveland will settle down in New York
as q HAiN ate CiAlLEH ana devote his atten-
ton to municipal problems. City govern
ment has attracted his attention lately
He has talked the matter over with prom
inent reformers, and the probability IS
that Father Knickerbocker will have an
opportunity of presenting a list of his
woes to Mr.. Cleveland, and If the latter
alleviates them he will be as great as
ever he was while President. The new
role would harmonic well with the char.
acter of the man.
Ogden Goelet will very soon turn I'm ar
Newport, and while he may not have the
glory of the princes presence, it seems
likely that the young husband of the aged
Baroness Burdett-Coutts is to be his guest
at Newport this summer. Young Bart
lett. for that is the name of this Juvenile
husband, sold a pair of his wlfe,s horses
to Mr.. Goelet recently, and thew are su-
perb beasts, soon to surprise American
turfmen. Mr.. Bartlett has not been in the
best Of health lately. and an American
tour would do him good. He was to have
come over here last year. but his wife fell
Ill and the trip was postponed. Another
guest of Mr.. Goelet will be Viscount Gran
brooke.
AS for the Prince Of Wales visit there
is still a possibility of it. AS will be re-
membered, this projected tour. or rather
run here, was announced to have been
abandoned. Now it seems that the prince
