Is tile name that has been :, e"u'e
the attempt of the cuckoos : "a o
the democrats believe that M ~, e
land don't wish to be again s's'e.
mated for president. but ma.' IOA'.
have the honor of DECLINING = .
nomination after it has been tens Ie
by the democratic national oa a''ei
tion. Inasmuch as the DEM
administration and congress MI, ,s'a'f
the voters of the country !,
be only a case of poetic ins,;.
Mr.. Cleveland and the eucLa
bunco the democratic party Isa
democratic convention falls ipto 1
trap set for it and nomina,as y
Cleveland with the expeetation
he Will decline, it will be the nv
disappointed body ever seen a.
just as certain as any future eya.,
can be that if nominated Mr.. Clers.
land will accept. In view u \
generally recognized fact tha, !,
democratic nomination win ~
year be a very empty honor !,
difficult to understand the etFo,,.
that Mr.. Cleveland and his cnctn
are making to get it. These et,o,.
can only be accounted for bv N
inordinate egotism of Mr.. Cleyelana
which causes him to believe, imn,ot
able as it appears to every body Am
that he could be elected again.
1t has been known for quite a wbp.
in administration circles that failm.
to get the nomination himself n.
Cleveland desires to throw the enti,,
administration influence to Secreta,y
Carlisle. 1t has now leaked ont M,
there is a revolt against this pm.
gramme from an unexpected dire.
ton. Mr.. Cleveland's man, Dan Ia
mont, heads the revolt. Dan is crate.
full to Mr.. Cleveland for the political
favors he has received from him and
although he doesn't like the idea ot
third term for anybody, he is will.
ing to help Mr.. c, try to get another
nomination, but he owes nothing Ia
Secretary Carlisle, and declines %
have his allegiance transferred 10
him when Mr.. c. sees that he has no
show. There is another man, who
has done financially for Dan Lamont
what Mr.. Cleveland has done politi.
cally for him. That man is ex-Secre.
tary Whitney, and Dan proposes 10 |
show his gratitude by making Mr..
Whitney his second choice, instead
of Secretary Carlisle. Mr. Cleveland
has only one objection to Whitney
but that Is a serious one. He /. the |
only man in either of his cabinets
that he failed to completely dom.
mate.
The force of example is one Of the
strongest known to man. Mr.. Cleye
lands use Of a government Light
house tender for his hunting and
fishing trips was the natural fore
runner of Secretary Carlisles intend.
ed use of government light house
tender to make a tour Of the Great
Lakes. Not only VIII the Secretary
and his wife be carried on this
junket at public expense, but his son
and his wife will go along, and Others
may be added. The iunket may last
five or six week, and if Uncle sam
wasn't TO foot the bills ii would BE-
quite costly for the two Carlisle fam.
lilies. Still, you occasionally find 8
democrat willing to quote public
Office is a public trust at you in the
face Of the private snap the men,
bers of the present administrators
have made of it.

Maryland democratic organization

them by having his convention en-
dorse the liable and patriotic admin

the tariff law that Mr.. Cleveland e
fused to sign. Mr.. Germans resoIu'
ton declared the tariff to be the pei
we have had for thirty-fiye years
which isn't strange when Il / +

of the principal authors OF the seHa''
