BANKER BENEDlCT'S OPINION
He Does Not Believe Cleveland
Wants Another Term.
Says the President Is Anxiousiy
Counting the Months Until He
Can Lay Down the
Cares of State.

New York, Nov. 27.-when seen this
morning relative to a statement pub
iisfied III the morning papers In this
city, saying that President Grover
Cleveland would never consent to stand
for a third term, Mr.. f. c.. Benedict,
the banker, who was au-
thority for the statement. said that in
part the statement was true. but in
certain places 1t was made too strong.
81 am not positive thai he would not
consent to run for a third term. To set
the matter forever right, ] Will write
what / have TO say Mr.. Benedict
her penned the following:
"All / have said or a say in refer
ence 10 President Cleveland's views as
to a third term is inferential. l in er
from what he has repeatedly a.d that
he is impatient to be rid of ell official
cares and unwilling to have them pro-
longed under. any circumstances
Continuing. Mr.. Benedict said: 1T Is
no. secret 10 anybody who knows Mr..
Cleveland well as TO his views on this
subject. He has been counting the
months until he can be free of the tram
mels of public affairs. He feels. and he
told me so. in fact he has told many OF
his friends so, that he was a great fool
to accept the presidency the second
time. He said: II nave enough OF VIC
tory and defeat. a 4 "a is all a mar
can have in this world"
Have you ever questioned the presi-
lent directly on the third term ques-
ton" was asked.
mo" answered he, but you don't
always have TO ask: collateral matters
will sometimes answer"
Mr.. Benedict then in confidence told
the United Press reporter certain acts
OF the president bearing on the third
term question which would tend TO
show that Mr.. Cleveland will not stand
a fourth time for the presidency.
DO you agree with some OF Mr..
Cleveland's enthusiastic friends that
Mr.. Cleveland's duty is plain that he
should accept the nomination next
year?"
mo. ! do not" answered Mr.. Bene-
dict. and / think that the claim made
in certain quarters that he preferred
the nomination because the democratic
party has no better man is an insult
to him"
Mr.. Benedict, in concluding. said:
"As TO b-ing positive that Mr.. Cleve-
land would not accept a fourth nom!rra-
ron I am not: / do not think he viii

NO HOPE FOR HAYWARD.
The Governor Of Minnesota Will Not
Get soft Hearted.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 27.-No clemency
will be shown. This is practically GER
tain in the case Of Harry T. Hayward.
From now until Saturday not a move
Will be made by any of the local author
tiles toward the fulfllment OF destiny
in the celebrated case. Hayward will
b. allowed his full time for exceptions,
and arguments for a ~rehearing, but If
they are .iade nothing will avail the
matter.
Saturday County Attorney Frank NJ.
Nye will visit the governor officially.
Mr.. Nye will not use any efforts TO in
luence the governor in his actions, but
will simply inform him that the legal
time is up, and that he a proceed as
he sees fit toward the fulhllment OF the
sentence OF Judge Smith. The actions
OF the condemned man during the past
few months Will initiate greatly
against him, and while il is probable
that his parents win make an effort to
have such action taken, he can hardly
expec any cIemency.
There is hardly any probability that
anything more viii be found to interest
the public I'm the search througi. the
possessions of Hayward in his cell.
Nothing OF interest was found, and from
the way in which he Is watched there is
no probability that he will ever make
any more trouble for the authorities, for
they do not trust him in the least. and
give him no freedom whatever. Had he
acted differently up to date. he might
have been taken care OF in S, h a way
hat he could have secured escape
through suicide, but now that appears
10 be impossible.
He will probably be led 70 the gallows
with arms freed, unless he shows ugli-
ness. and will not be pinioned until the
fatal moment. He swear that he will
not die with the black cap on, and will
look his tormenters in the face 70 the
last. This Is a point OF pride with him.
Everybody connected with the jail and
criminal courts Will be glad when the
thing is over.
Yesterday Hayward ate his prison
fare like a hungry man. He has never
been in the habit OF denying himself.
Whenever he wanted anything he has
had IL. and to deny his stomach the
food II craved was too much out of the
line Of his past habits. Yesterday morn
ing he shifted the odor of the aromatic
coffee as II boiled In Sheriff Holmberg's
kitchen, and he wanted some AT din
ner he actually waNed eloquent over the
large square hunks Of boiled beef. and
from now on he will very probably go
into e~cstacies about the superior flavor
OF that richest OF all soups cooked ac-
cording to the sheriff's own recipe.
He is looking forward with great anx-
fety 10 Thanksgiving day. when he ex-
poets 90 have a merry time with turkey
drumsticks ana the scarlet cranberry.
There Is no greater epicure than he. and
he does not lose that trait as time brings
him nearer the bottom of his last stack
OF chips.

that party was a rich widow. | paid her
no more attention than l did the others
in the party. but IL was TO be. Fate was
at work. and before her steamer put off
we were betrothed. Here is d letter
from her, and she awaits me in Jersey
City, where we shall soon oe married"

IL was Very, then IL became Verey. and
by law at last / had it fixed for good.
So she cannot object, you see. It's an
honorable name, for I have made II

planned: II am her third husband. and
she Is still young, and so good. so good.

With sullen SILENT force.
Past peaceful farm and rugged cliff,
Sweeps on its winding course.
Far of n the hazy distance,

How often my dreaming boyhood,
Watching It's turbtd ida
Would fan float on its bosom broad
Some Kindred sprites beside.
And think 'twould lead to fatrer chimes,
Some Swallowed lands Of rest,
Beyond the Line Of distant hills,
Where dwell the ever best.

And marvel at tho force,
That carves It's way through these old
