strength of the third term sentiment
II becomes necessary, therefore. to find
some explanation for the curious and
anomalous movement which on the
surface of it, masquerades as an hon.
est attempt to make Mr.. Cleveland the
candidate of his party once more.
The fact is that the movement is only
a masquerade. No men living dislike
Mr.. Cleveland more than those who to-
day are clamoring loudest for his re-
nomination. There Is something quite
ludicrous in the readiness with which
the small fry of politics are taking the
agitation seriously. They see that a
little casual greatness may be won by
Joining the New York chorus, and ac-
cordingly they do so. In very little
while these inexperienced young pol
iticians will see how much they have
been misled, but IL will then be too late
for them to escape becoming the laugh
ing stock of the country.
The question. however, naturally sug
gests itself: how can Mr.. Cleveland
allow his name to be used in this
manner? The answer is that the pres
ident has done all he can, consistently
with the dignity of his own position, to
put an end to this national burlesque.
He has discountenanced ii. He has re-
fused to recognize it, If II be urged
that his warmest political friend, Sen
ator Gray of Delaware, Joined the
third termers and spoke for Mr.. Cleve-
lands reelection, the fact may be
pointed out that he was promptly disa-

IN the present. The leaders will gather
in the metropolis. The history Of the
campaign will be manufactured there.
Above all, the money must be New
York money. And IL will be a very
costly campaign. Everyone knows now
that IL will be long one.
Finally the movement to bring the
democratic national convention to New
York had it's origin with the clique
which launched the pseudo-boom of
Grover Cleveland. 1t has all along
been a case of will you walk into my
parlor?"
There are many other considerations.

vowed and that the president refused
to accept his invitation to declare his
intentions to his friends.
Many there are who wonder that the
president does not make public a
statement of his position. This won
der is exceedingly naive. 1t betrays
the inexperience of those who feel it,
Suppose Mr.. Cleveland actually came
out with a public statement of the
kind. He would simply convert himself
into laughing stock and play into the
hands of the New York masqueraders.
They would at once declare that Mr..
Cleveland's refusal only demonstrated
his fitness. They would feel a new inn
portance in having forced the presi-
dent to notice them. Their campaign
would be prosecuted with renewed Wig
or. Again, II would be very easy for
Mr.. Cleveland to be made ridiculous,
which is the one thing his enemies
want
The next thing TO consider is the mo-
tive of this third term agitation. 1t
has its origin in a desire to make use
of Mr.. Cleveland's position to secure
control of the convention by New
Workers. Cleveland was seated I'm 1892
without the Empire state. He carried

until forbearance has ceased to be a
virtue. The feeling is so strong in
some parts of the country as to sug-
gest the agitation of our early days
against a Virginia president In a mo-

Mr.. Cleveland would gladly see Wilson
his successor. The feeling between the
two has always been of the most cor
dial nature. Mr.. Wilson is a Southern
er. He is not so far South as to alarm
the democracy of the North.
He is an all around available man
and he can concentrate factions. He
has no enemies within the party. The
INSTRUMENTATION democrats would
have no excuse for refusing to support
him. Even on the money question, he
has never been aggressive. His early
training as a professor in a small uni
versity has given him that quiet, unob-
trusive capacity for action, which while
little likely to arouse enthusiasm is as
little likely to arouse ,enmity. Perry
Belmont is understood to have had Mr.
Wilson in his minds eye when he re-
Gently declared that this country wants
no Greek play president" AS is well
known the voters of New York have
always been hotly opposed to the Greek
play. Perry Belmont will no doubt sit
in the next democratic convention and
he will then take care of the Greek play
issue.
Thus the situation is very obscure. II
has been years since the party con-
fronted so perplexing a problem. In
spite of the feeling against New York,
and regardless of any prejudices, Ii is
almost a certainty that the campaign
of 1896 will be fought out in the Empire
state. That has been the way in the
past. There is no prospect of change

ment of perplexity the third term idea
was taken up by the New Workers. 1t
Is highly significant that no Tammany
opposition to a third term has been
manifested. The opposition-i OF a GER
tain Tammany organ in New York
counts for nothing. No Tammany
leader has a word to say. This means
more than is yet fully appreciated.

Yet nothing can be more certain than

stampede the convention. The only
danger In this was pointed out by that
astute stampeder, Thomas r. Gilroy
1t was he who first adverted to the fact
that IL Mr.. Cleveland Is certainly to be
killed OF, his name must be formally
placed In nomination. Were his name
not mentioned and a number of fruit
less ballots taken, there might ensue a
Cleveland stampede.
Now for a resume of these various
considerations. First, Mr.. Cleveland
does not want a denomination and oes
not expect one and Is not trying for
one. Second. there Is New York con-
spiracy afoot to force him into the
open and make him take sides in the
convention. Third. there is a distinct
movement within the party against a
New York man. Fourth. evidence ac-
cumulates that an intrigue exists to
spring some new man, subservient to
New York, upon the party.
The crux Of the matter is that Mr.
Cleveland holds the key to the demo-
cratic situation and that his enemies
are trying TO force 1t away from him.
Nothing more wonderfully illustrates
the man of silence than the position of
the man who now occupies the chief
magistracy OF the republic. His silence
has been his fortress. The tongues are
laundering all about him. but he has
never Word 10 say. TniS reticence
would instruct even the Sphynx. 1t is
a hint to people in all walks OF life.
People may say all they please about
Mr.. Cleveland's heaviness and slow
ness and lack of brilliance. But as long
as he remains the most silent man in
political life. he will be a power. It Is
wonderful that he is permitted to enjoy
his monopoly of the trait.
1t would be the idlest conjecture to
name the probable democratic nominee.
In all likelihood, he will not be a New
York man. He will, however, almost
sure be sound" on the money ques-
tion. He will be low tariff man. He
must be friend OF this administration.
William L. Wilson has these qualifica-
tions. Should Mckinley be nominated
at st. Louis next June. Wilson would
become logically the democratic candi-
date. The two men have been connect
ed for years in the public mind with
antagonistic political schools. Another
thing that makes Mr.. Wilson powerful
is his freedom from connection with
any kind of money making corpora
tion.

A SINGER OF OLD DAYS.
FFrom the Washington Post


One of the most remarkable Incl
dents of the afternoon was the ap-
pearance of Professor John Hutchin-
son. the last member Of the great ante
bellum party of abolition agitators, a
venerable man of almost four-score
years, bent with age, and his long
white hair sweeping his shoulders,
While his longer SnOW-White beard fell
far down his breast. He was the
sweet singer Of the abolition cause, the
one who had done almost as much
with music as Garrison and Summer
had with eloQuence, and he came as
the sole remaining member of the old
guard to pay his last tribute to his
fellow worker.
In spite of his great age his voice
was clear and his utterance distinct
Beginning slowly at first he spoke Of
his labor with Douglass, recalling the
scenes Of the New York riots. when
Douglass and Ward, two liberated
slaves, had faced the mob with other
white abolitionists. He recalled other
scenes and incidents of the dead mans
life in his fight against slavery and
his final triumph, and finally raising
his voice he half sang, half chanted q
requiem ode to the dead, wild, solemn
anthem with the Rhythmic refrain:
Lay him low. lay him low
Under the grasses or under the snow;
What cares he? He cannot know.
