performance scarcely ever surpassed
in audacity is the declaration of Senator
Gray in favor of the reelection OF Presi-
dent Cleveland. AS the most submissive
of all the Cuckoo tribe, MIR. Gray was OBJ
viously the most fit person as perhaps he
was the only Democrat of prominence
who would consent-to affront American
opinions by declaring that MIR. Cleve.
land g services were so illustrious that he
ought to have the honor which had not
been given to Washington or to Grant
Washington refused third election for
patriotic and most honorable reasons
which, in spite of Senator Gray's So
phistry, hold good still Grant was
stoutly supported by a body OF friends,
but 1t does not appear that he personally
sought or consented to accept the ques-
tionable honor. For a most questionable
honor 1t would always be, If President,
having his party by the throat through
his official mercenarles, should extort
from 1t nomination in violation Of all
American presidents and Instincts
Now that this thing has been formally
proposed, and by man known to echo
the Presidents wishes, as If devoid of a
mind of his OWE, it might be the best
thing for the country on every account to
have the experiment tried to the end Let
us have a President nominated for a
third term, and see where he will come
out. Senator Gray sets up this pitifully
frivolous claim, that American tradition
forbids only three consecutive terms for
the same man and he claims that the
Cleveland who was President first became
a private citizen, and was washed clean.
SO to speak, of all restrictions as to re-.
election when he was defeated in 1888.

sion of the matter, we do not, and shall
not, deem it necessary to endeavor to be-
little in the slightest degree any of the
other presidential aspirants Mr.. Reed
does not need that kind of support in
order to increase his own size.
What the rest of the country will do no
one can yet say. The convention, in a
close contest, will have its decisions
largely controlled by the southern dele
gates. These delegates, however, will be
of different temper than has been the
case for several conventions. From a
considerable number of southern states
they will come prepared not only to help
select the candidate, but also to con-
tribute towards his election. 1t will be
convention, with large contingent Of
delegates intent only upon choosing the
most available and strongest man.
Mr., Reeds friends have large hopes
outside of New England. Certainly the
outlook for him has improved visibly
within the last two months. He has more
than fighting chance to secure the nomi-
nation He Is candidate of whom New
England should be proud, and with good
natured friendship towards every other
name mentioned, our political prestige In
the national organization and good feel
ing here at home will be best advanced by
giving him that cordial support which we
expect the Republicans of Ohio and Iowa
will tender to their respective local can
dfdatcs. A contest, for the nomination
conducted on such lines with the distinct
understanding that whoever wins shall
receive the united endorsement of oil, is
the fitting introduction to the national
campaign of 1896

1t will doubtless annoy those Democrats
who predicted the early downfall of the
Dole administration to learn through the
lips of the Hawaiian consul general at
Boston. Mr.. German ID. Gilman, that the
Dole administration isn't the least bit
worried at present When Mr. Gilman's
statements are supported by news from
Hawaii that the ex-Queen has been re.
leased from the restraints hitherto sur
rounding her, it Is enough to cause pool
old Paramount Blount to turn in his
political grave; enough to drive Grover
Cleveland to deny, publicly, all the re-
ports he has set ofloat concerning a third
term. Here is the purport of what Mr..
Gilman has to say in the columns of the
Boston Transcript; American friends
Of the little island republic needn t worry
over these newspaper stories of flibuster-
ing expeditions. To accomplish anything,
he says, an expedition of that sort must
land at or near Honolulu. Suppose ii

then have to deal with several hundred

board the Valkyrie that she would strike
the committees boat, so close was De-
fender crowding her up to it. He said it
looked from the centre of the boat that
they must collide, and therefore, If Cap
tain Cranffeld had come away at all it
was only to save his boat from what he
regarded as certain smash On the other
hand 1t should be borne In mind that the
Defender has been subjected to as much
Inconvenience from interference as the
Valkyr,e, the best of evidence, were evil
dence needed, to prove that in selecting
the Sandy Hook course the committee had
no intention Of thereby affecting the re-
suits Of the race. Moreover it had been
demonstrated to Lord Dunraven, as it had
to all Others before the fiasco occurred
that the Defender is by far the better boat
and that the defeat she was capable of in
flicting upon the Valkyrie would be so
overwhelming as to discourage any hope
the Britisher might have of equalling
American designers In the construction
of racing yacht And for Dunraven to
act as he did exposes him to the suspicion
of wishing to afford bis countrymen some
pretext for an excuse, however flimsy
that excuse may be. Dunravcn does not
think his boat can beat the Defen der, II
he did, or If he thought there were any
chance of victory, he would, it is reason

Mr. Gray had some reputation as law
yer, but will certainly lose most Of his
reputation for common sense by advancing
an argument SO shallow and pettifogging
In character.
He is false to history in saying that the
principal objection In Washington's case
sprang from the doubt whether the new
republic would stay republic. On the
contrary, President Washington himself
set forth in the clearost terms the other
and permanent objection, that possessor
OF the appointing power, holding that
high place for eight years. would be apt
to control enough political influence TO
distort and unnaturally sway the political
action of the people. There would come
to be, he wisely foresaw. species OF die
tatorship within and behind the forms Cf
self government, so that the trained and
hired officials, holding their offices at the
pleasure of the President, might continue
for an indefinite period, for fourth or o
fifth AS well as third term, to re-elect
the man to whom they owed their posi-.
tions. This sort of thing, President Wash
ington rightly judged, was not only cop-
trary to American instincts, but dis
tinctly hostile to the best interests OF the

monarchy, not any formal change OF the
form of government, but behind the re-
publican form o practical despotism in
the hands of one man, continued and
maintained through the persons holding
office at his will.
1t is exactly this sort of thing which
the people will resent if it is attempted
in behalf of President Cleveland or any
oil Dorhanc xynnId ho he. hoof
thing possible TO have the Democratic
party nominate Mr.. Cleveland, in order
to see how far he would fall behind it's
natural strength, being a candidate for
re rejection under such circumstances. 1t
must be presumed, in the light of the
latest elections, that any nomination by
the Democratic party is likely to end in
defeat. Mr.. Cleveland might as we'll be
beaten as anybody else. Nevertheless, the
test would help to show how far the
American people are willing to set aside
all traditions and instincts inherited from
the earlier days Of the republic, in obedi-
ence to the desire of office. holders to re-
elect the man from whom they hold their
lucrative positions. And then 1t might
be well, moreover to get definitely tested
by a popular decision the question
whether the policy which Mr.. Cleveland
has continuously urged is that which the
people resent and have condemned at the
polls, or only the policy which members
of his party in Congress have attempted
to carry out. In many ways the lesson
would be instructive, and perhaps the
Democrats may consent to serve the ooun-
try by giving it chance to show just
what 1t thinks first of President Cleve-
land, and second of third term.

An Inquest Unnecessary.

1t was intended to send the body of the
late w. H. Dunn. superintendent of the
Municipal Lodging House. to his late home
in Michigan Monday, but Coroner Hammett
refused to grant the necessary permit. be-
cause the analysis of the stomach had not
been completed, and the body was held at
Zurhorst's undertaking establishment. The
body is being detained because of the state
ments concerning the cause of death. His
friends asked that the coroner make an in
vestigation. AS already printed in The Star
the deceased had taken an ant;-tobacco prep
aration, because he was an inveterate user
of the weed, and his friends thought there
was poison in the preparation. Last even
ing the coroner received the report of
the chemist. showing that no poison was
found in the stomach, and the body was sent
away last night.
