New York. Sept. 11.-An entirely new
turn has been given to the political
situation in New York by the discov-
cry OF an additional reason why Mr..
Cleveland can under no circumstances
be factor in the developing national
situation. This reason is nothing else
than the state of the presidents health.
or course any assertions that Mr..
Cleveland is ailing are apt to be re-
celVed very skeptically. He has time
and again been reported to be on the
verge Of dissolution without any rea-
son whatever for such assertions. But
now a well authenticated case Of de-
bility can be made out based on the
presidents own admissions. The trou-
BILE with the chief magistrate is of an
inevitable nature considering his occu-
patton. He is Frustrated with over
work. For fully week and more he
has not been himself, owing to his lack
OF opportunity to take needed rest
This may not seem a very serious
matter. but Mr.. Cleveland has long
been suffering from nervous strain
lie wrote to his physician in New York
ana TO several men who enjoy his per-
rest. ~
His repose viii have to be complete
He does not get sleep enough. As an
Instance OF the peculiar nature of his
trouble may be mentioned the much
misunderstood incident Of the interview;
with General Ransom General Ran
som had been invited to see the presi-
cent MI Cleveland was anxious to
seee MIN personally, It appears, and
the general announced that he would
be only too happy to see the president
But he heard the stories of the presi-
dents overwork and sent word to Mr.
Thurber that he would postpone his
visit to Gray Gables II the president
was too much occupied to see MIN
But Mr.. Cleveland sent word back to
Mr. Ransom that he was DESTROYS of
"A talk. These negotiations leaked out
some how aud led to a report that the
president had declined to see the gem
eral whereas II was the general who
had been anxious to spare the presl-
dent fatigue. Again It appears that
various other persons DESTROYS OF see
ing the chief magistrate have been
told that Mr. Cleveland was not In
the very best condition to be inter
viewed In many ways the president
Is not quite himself. Onicial business
pursues him to Gray Gables and makes
1t impossible for him to retire early
In the day time he Is compelled to
take much exercise TO escape insomnia
lie Is rather irrltated also at recent
criticisms OF his policy on the money
question, which makes him out to be
a victim of the cunntngly devised traps
OF the money power. His eagerness
for the single standard dollar is de-
clared to have caught him in the Vice
like grip Of the banking element IL
is on the contrary well understood that
Mr.. Cleveland IL rather ION the outs"
with the financiers at this time. The
syndicate in Wall street feels that 1.
is he who has set the trap and IL any
one is caught in the money wise his
name is G. Cleveland. Be these mat
tiers as they may, however. New York
ers on the inside thoroughly understand
that his health alone would be sufficient
reason for Mr.. Clevelands retirement
from the cares OF office.
