A Cabinet oflcer Says That II the Nom
ination Is rendered He wiz Accept.
WASHINGTON, March 23 - There ap-
pears to be no longer any doubt In the
minds of politicians and public men in
Washington that President Cleveland is
willing again to be the candidate of his
party, and that plans are now being put
into operation TO bring about his nomina-
ton The bait that was thrown out in the
suggestion that Secretary Carlisle Is the
administration candidate was not even
nibbled at, and the presidents friends
now say that the name of Cleveland must
again be invoked to save the Democratic
party. On every side there is evidence that
the Cleveland men are arranging to con-
troll the conventions that will elect the
delegates TO Chicago, and it Is especially
significant that the officials Of the admin
istration, who six months ago were assert
ing that Mr.. Cleveland would soon write
"a letter to somebody saying that he would
not be a candidate, now have little to say on
the subject. Even If such a letter should
now make It's appearance, however, II
would not shake the faith of the political
world of Washington, who feel confident
that Cleveland is again in the hands OF
his friends. Talking TO a group Of his
personal and parry friends a few days ago,
a member Of tho cabinet said;
Cleveland Is our only candidate and II
the Democratic party at Chicago tenders
him the nomination, he will accept It,
even if he does so at "a great personal sac
rifloe. ! know, very well that he does not
desire the nomination and he is ready tc
retire from public life at tho close OF his
present term, but l am equally sure that
II the party sheuld force the nomination
upon him and pledge him the united
strength Of the party. he would bow to
the will of his party and make the fight
not as the lender Of any faction, but as the
leader of all those who believe that the in
terests Of tho government demand a con
tinuanco Of the true principles Of Democ
racy."
The statement was made with so much
oarnestnoss that every one present felt that
tho cabinet officer hadpbeen inspired by q
previous conversation with the president
That was the impression It made upon the
minds of those who heard it, and it is gen
orally believed TO represent the attitude Of
the president.
