 SrErrLArIoNs upon the probability of Mir Cleveland's asking for third term are occupying good del of space in the news papers all over the country. and the eX- pressions of democratic newspapers are not such as to encourage the aspirations of President Cl veland in that direction if he indulges in any such aspirations. Those which do not speak out openly and en- phaticaliy against any vlolatatiou of the unwritten law laid down by Washington in his farewell address, limiting the ser vices of president to two terms. dis miss the talk in reference to the third term as unworthy of earnest attention. Now is the time for President Cleveland to speak. The discussion of the matter has been so wide spread and has gained so much of public attention. that he can. without uohending any of his presidential dignity, take notice of it, place himself on record with Washington against a third term and win the appreciation of the peo- pie of this country now, and of future gen. erations
