WILL CLEVELAND RUN AGAIN :
Diverse Opinions Regar ding the Pos
sibility Of Such an Event.

A Strong Belief That He Will be Third
Term Candidate On a Gold Standard
Platform.
Chicago. April SO.-The Chicago Mail
recently sent letters to the leading men
of both parties, senators and representa-
tives in Congress, and members of the
of states and members of legislatures,
asking if, in itheir opinion, Grover Ceve-
land was candidate for third term,
and if so, whether he is expected to
run as Democratic or Repu bllcan can
didate or as candidate of a third
party, formed by the supporters of the
gold standard in both organizations.
The first instalment of replies, published
this afternoon, shows there are a sur
prising number of persons who believe
Mr.. Cleveland is third term candidate
on a gold standard platform.
1t is worthy of note. that if he is such
a candidate, he will receive little en-
couragement from Repu blicans, even
from those who may agree with his
financial views. The responses show the
tdtlu is sbtll leduiuS ISSUE WIFI tuo
Republicans and that no man who de-
clared himself against protection, and
whose administration has been arrayed
against it, can secure the support of the
Repu blicans of the country. The re-
sponses from the Democrats show they
are widely divided in their opinions.
They are either bitterly hostile to Mr..
Cleveland or warmly favorable. The
Democrats who think he may be third
term candidate, insist it must be as the
candidate of some other party than their
own.

lists but their efforts thus far have
proved well nigh futile. 1t is unfortu-
nate that the bounty falls short of the
amount due the farmers here, but so
per cent is far better than nothing. To
Senator Lands is due more credit than
to any other man that the matter is
about to terminate as successfully as
it is; had it not been for his dilligent
work the cane growers might have
lost the entire amount. We deplore
the fact that our citizens will be COM
PEELED to lose at least 40 per cent of
their hard earned money but in dealing
with a constituencies and unprincipled
corporation the people invariably take
that risk. The parties interested can
be very thankful If this matter ends in
their receiving so cents on the dollar;
