Presidents Friends.
ATTITUDE AS TO PRESIDENCY
Kept Secret For Some Very
Good Reasons.

WASHINGTON, March ia great deal
course of President Cleveland In abstain
ing from expressing his purpose with re-
gard to a possible denomination for the
presidency. There are the best of reasons
for believing that some time before the
convention meets at Chicago President
Cleveland will respond to an inquiry with
letter distinctly withdrawing his name
from the list Of possible candidates..
No amount OF badgering by his enemies
will move him TO this before he considers
the time ripe for it, or before the prepara-
tions for the convention have reached
stage which makes q knowledge Of his In.
tentions a necessity to his party managers.
The cause OF his refusal, up to the pres
ent hour, to crafty his critics by prema-
ture publication may be found in the fact,
stated by member of the administration,
that very strong effort Is making by the
managers Of the wing Of the party 70
which the president belongs to assure tho
presence at Chicago of majority OF dele
gates committed to the support of sound
money plank and q sound-money candi-
date.
Not few victories have been gained

the president, If there were st!n chance
OF his being a candidate for n third term.
IL Mr.. Cleveland were TO withdraw TO.

selves by engineering the caucuses and

The withdrawal would be followed at
once by the upspringlng OF a host OF Dem
ocratic candidates who would feel that
with this one lion out of the path they
had as good q chance as any other, and the
rivalry between ambitious politicians
would very often be liable TO result in
free-coinagc victories even where a senti-
ment Of the majority of Democratic voters
was either in favor OF sound money or
honestly unsettled.
Every days delay, moreover, makes 10
easier for the movement in behalf Of some

upon a well-developed candidacy. A scat

storebreakers who have been working
throughout the Highland district of late,
and yesterday he had in court Bartholo-
NEW Mclaughlin, whom, it is alleged,
has been sort OF leader for the youth
ful band.
!. The boys have been very daring in their
work, which they have pursued under
cover of darkness. Their method was to
place coat over window pane, and
after breaking the glass throw back the
catch on the window, thus giving admis-
sion to the store.
Once inside, they helped themselves to
cigarettes, cigars, pies and pastry, and
would follow this up by prying open the
money drawer with a small jimmy and
taking whatever money they could lind.
On the evening of Feb. 8 the store OF
William p. McHugh,S 81 East Lenox street,
was broken into some time after mid
night. The thieves made away with IL
boxes OF cigarettes, some cigars and a
quantity of tobacco, and then forced the
money drawer. from which they took s3
Another break which this gang is al

three weeks ago. Bassett's bakeshop, at

many breaks occurred late last Saturday
evening, when the store of j. G.. & B. s.
Ferguson, at the corner of Reed and East
Lenox streets, was broken into and about
S25 worth of groceries and money stolen.
In this case the boys broke the lock on
the front door, entered the place and
helped themselves, and later ransacked
the money drawer.

PORTLAND, Me-, March l3.-Following

who elected as their delegates-at-large

special friends of Governor Mckinley, il
is understood that the Republican leaders
OF Maine will elect as the Reed delegates.

1t Is argued that with these distiu
gnished delegates-at-large, representing as
they would the state of Maine the strong.
est possible district delegations could be
secured.
The fact that the personal relations be-
tween Reed and Hale and Frye have been
somewhat strained, will not, it is under
stood, be allowed 10 stand in the way Of
their representing Reed and Maine at St
Louis.
Hon. Amos l.. Allen, who is Reeds
private secretary, had been suggested as

OF national reputation, who would have
