Another Term for President Clcyc-
land-IGXplanati0n Of the Demo-
cratic Defeat.
Tho Washington Times prints the
following in regard to third term for
Mr.. Cleveland:
There is now an organized effort
on foot by the Cleveland wing of the
Democratic party to thrust fourth
nomination and third term on their
idol. This effort is to be started and
directed from the throne. and every
Democratic Office holder will be ex-
pected to work for tho desired cnd.
"Since the recent election there has
boon most decided change on the
part of the administration. Prior to
the election the cabinet officers, almost
without exception, believed, and in
some instances said, tho President did
not want a third term.
The day after tho election the
members OF the official family began
talking third term from their hearts.
They believe, or profess to believe,
that Cleveland Is the only man who
can lift the Democratic party out of
tho defeat 1t has sustained. This talk
The people's journal. (Pickens, S.C.) 1891-1903, 1895-11-21

increased perceptibly after Fridav,s
cabinet meeting. At this meeting It
. known that Cleveland and his of.
iclal advisers spent nearly two hours
discussing the political situation.
| Inc cabinet officers believe TINT
| Mr.. Cleveland is tho only man who
can be elected as the nominee of the
Democratic party. He, according to
them, is tho only man whose per-
sonality Is u platform in itself and who
is able to command " great vote from
the independent and Republican ele-
ments, or, at least, the element which
votes tho Democratic ticket whom Mr.
Cleveland is a candidate.
Mr.. Cleveland, it 10 claimed, be-
loves he can be elected, and thinks
that II he had been running last week
inc Democratic party would 4 have
carried the day in New York, New
Jersey, Kentucky and Marylaud. Mr..
cleveland Is not certain that he would
not have carried Ohio. Tho President
Is OF tho opinion that tho people re-
oukcd the Democratic party last week
oy such adverse me rj0rities, not be-
cause thoy were dissatisfied with the
national administration not because
"l the Hawaiian question or the
attitude on general foreign policy; not
tlon took on the silver and reven @
questions; not because of the boi,d
issues, but wholly and solely becau g
OF popular disgust with Democratic
bosses who have stood out against the
President, and because of the pervcrse
mannc" in which certain Democrats
nave insisted upon running after the
" free silver heresy."
I'm other words, the White House
circle believe that the people smote
Democracy in order to vindicate Mr..
Cleveland and rs u lesson to those
people VIII" refused to acknowledge
'!lni as th'air leader. These facts laid
own. the eXp"uuders of the third
tHH'n IDEA proceed to declare that it is
Driou- that Mr.. Cleveland is the ONLY
