THIRD TERM TALK
VIII Cleveland ne the Democratic
standard-bearer in 1886? That is one %
the absorbing topics just now While
there has been q good deal Of thlrd-term
talk for six months past there did not
seem TO be anything serious I'm II until
within tho past week or two Washing
ton rs a political town. but II has been
eaid. whether rightly or not, that II is
the last place I'm the world to get cor
rect impression Of the sentiment Of the
voters throughout the country.
Well. not only does one catch a good
dfsl'of Cleveland talk here. but people
who happen 10 be passing through the
city bring the same talk from various
sections. The ClegelanliteG who favor
Cievcand's nomination neNt wear say
that they appreciate thoroughly vel the
prejudice against having any man, no
matter how good. 10 I'm the presidential
crair more than two terms. But they
argue that Ciey aldn,- is the only man in
sight. and that p" viii not only br nomi-
mated. bat elected. They regard him as
rccOfd-hrcaker 81
Six months ago few Democrats whose
fud.mcnt was worth anythln1 would
have been bold enough 10 say that Glove
land would he an available man. that
he could be looked uuon as a winner in
1896 But ! have heard several prominent
level-headcd party men predict within
the past week that Cleveland's nomina-
ton next year was almost iOregone
conclusion.
Last summer n Cabinet officer was
heard 10 say hat there was nothing in
the talk Of Clevcls nd for the next term.
trat his name would not 70 before the
convention. Recently the same statesmen
said that II looked very much as II the
people were going TO take the matter
I'm their own hands, and compel the
President TO run again.
WHITNEY TO MANAGE 1T.
Yesterday was talking with a pro-
miLeut Democrat who happens to know
Mr. Whitney very well. He said: "Cieve-
land will probably decline emphatically
to allow his name TO be presented in the
convention. but all the same. Cleveland
viii be nominated Mark what | tell
you. Whitney will he on hand to
manage this business. and every
body knows what that mears. Tho /
Pr sldent viii try his best to resist the
nomination, ] believe bat the convention /
Will be practically unanimous in his be- /
half and he cannot get out of IT, Mr.. /
Whitney has already come out for Cleve- b
land In a published interview. and his
friends know that ne cOnscienii0uslY re- .
CARDS him as the best men for leader /
ia 1896. Notwithstanding the anti-thrd- /
term prejudice"
A Western Democrat told me the other I
day that he believed Cleveland would I
carry more Republican States than he /
did I'm 1852. Notwithstanding the fact that !
the West has been nut down as free |
silver section. Cleveland. ne said. was |
strong there.
If New York had gone Democratic on 1
the 9Th Of November both Hill and Whit /
ney would have been much talked of for |
the nomination: but a New York man |
said TO me to-day that Cleveland is the !
oaly Democrat who would stand any |
chance OF carrying New York in 1886 He /
is not looked upon as New Yorker any |
longer, but as Il citizen at large.
CLEVELAND OR NOTHING.
This gentleman remarked that it did |
not speak well for the Democratic party, |
that 1t was Cleveland - no. |
thing: but that. he said, seemed to be
about the size of 1t, 80 far as available
candidates were concerned. II had been
looking to Campbell" he continued. Ito
Io something big In Ohio He was my .
choice for the presidency. But | was dis
amounted. and IL looks as if the CON
yention will have 10 nominate Cleveland /
again. II is about the only thing to do"
OF course. IL remains TO be seen what
Cleveland does between now and next 4
spring. His admirers think 1t Will be
lust his luck 10 have something turn up
this winter that viii boom him more
than ever. and carry him through with
whirl. There seems to be one thing GER
who are disposed to bet that
Cleveland viii not be nominated next
summer had better 20 slow.
