| A Washington. special says Grover
Cleveland is not to be a candidate fol
another term. This fact, known among
his most intimate friends for several
months is now in the possession, of the
public.
In reaching his discision, the presi-
dent is not influenced in any way by the
political prospect. He has been Idiscon-
tented with his position for long time

cares and perplexities. He wants to
rest. In addition to this, Mrs. Cleve-
land is anxious to take her growing
children away from the atmosphere Of
the white house and give some time to
their training and education. at press
ent, as can readily be imagined, her So
clal duties are most exacting.
1t is remarkable to note, however.
the sentiment from all sections of the
country that he will again be called up
on to lead his party. There is certainly
an almost unanimous belief in Washing
ton that if the sound money men control
The next convention they will place
Cleveland's name at the head of the
ticket.
With the vast majority of democrats,
however, the determination of President
Cleveland not again to be candidate
will be accepted in good faith, even
though their personal preferences would
be for his nomination. The question is,
who will be nominated by the Chicago
vention?
The presidents first choice /, un.
doubtedly Secretary Car isle; his Sc Dad
choice is ex-Gov. William E. Russell of
Massachusetts,. The influence Of the
administration is to be exerted in behalf
of the former, but it is not likely to be
effective.
Russell's boom was launched this week
at Monticello, the home of Jefferson,
at gathering of prominent democrats
to celebrate the birthday of the founder
of the democratic party. Gov. Russell
did not mince matters, but came out
with bid for TIE support of the sound
money, anifssilver men of the party.
His name. bis intimate friends say, will
j be presented 10 the national convention
Eas q candidate, He hopes to command
the strength Ct New England, and from
what his friends say, he can also find
some material support in New York.
If the sound money men control tie
convention they are likely to nominate
Cleveland, no matter what kind of letters
the president may write. All this talk
however, of Cleveland and Carlisle and
Russell and Patterson, is based on the
contingency that the sound money men
will have majority of the convention.
The gravity of the situation is shown
by the announcement that Mr.. Whitney
has reconsidered his determination, and
will go to Chicago. This means that
he will bring his all powerful influence to
bear upon the free silver contingent
The conditions now, however, are
different. Even so careful and conserV'
alive democrat as Senator Faulkner Of
West Virginia, one of Cleveland's best
friends in the senate, said day or two
ago that he did not believe any inroads
could be made upon the silver strength.
1.-THE issue,' said he, "las been made II
the primaries, and the men who have
been selected TO go to the national con
vention are men who are known for theil
fidelity to silver. The executive
commi tees of silver democrats have
made it point to suggest men who arr
not amenable to ordinary influences"
Senator Jones of Arkansas, who is at
present the head of the silver democrat
ic forces, was asked if the silver men had
candidate for president. he replied
frankly that up to the present time ne
man had been united upon.
sWe will first endeavor to secure ;
majority of the delegates for silver,
said he. after we have adopted a FIRE,
silver platform we will.let the Lord fin
