their opinion Grover Cleveland was a can
didate for third term, and II so. whether
he expected To run as Democrat or Re-
publican candidate, or rs a candidate of
third party formed by the supporters of
the gold standard in both organizations.
The first installmcnt Of replies, pub
lished this afternoon, shows that there are
asurprising number of persons who believe
that MIR Cleveland is u third teria candi-
date of the gold standard platform.
Ii is worthy of note, If no is such a can
didate, that he will receive little encourage
ment from the Republicans, even from
those who may agree with his financial
views
The responses show that the tariff Is
still the leading issue with the Republi-
cans, and no man who has declared him
self against protection and whose admin
istration has been arrayod against 1t, can
secure the support of tho Republicans of
the country.

There are many who think. and with
good reason, that the New England

Every iron ship In the harbor Of San
Francisco, with one exception, has been
chartered, a condition of affairs that was
never before known at that port. A year
ago Mission Bay was crowded with Brit.
ish ships, but one after another they had
been engaged at prices ranging from 25 to
81 shilliDgs. The sudden demand for
wheat carrying vessels was a mystery un-
til Tuesday when the statement was made
that the 200 600 tons Of syndicate wheat
was to be sold and shipped to Liverpool.
The English tonnage In port now amounts
to 5S, 5s3, while at least 40 on the way to
San Francisco have also been engaged.
