WASHINGTON. Jan. 2i.--lSpecial. l-one
| OF the best known senators from western
| state surprised me today by predicting that
In case Mr.. Cleveland were nominated and
elected president again the country would
have a revolution. This theory was 30 ex-
treme and startling that questioned the
| senator carefully as to tho source Of his be
lief-for be was very much In earnest
and this Is what he said in explanation:
''Thero will be rebellion against the gov
ernmcnt In case of Mr.. ClevelaDds cleo
ton 20 another term because the people
OF the west and Of the Pacific coast will
take that TO mean that they are to DO for
ever dominated by eastern influences
They will regard a third term for Mr.
Cleveland AS scaling their fate and rs the
infection upon them for all time to come
Of monetary system which they believe
to be- subversive OF their interests. The
revolution will start perhaps In the Rocky
mountains and spread both to the cast and
the west. 1t will enguf Mt least two-thirds
of the territory of the United States, and IL
will be successful"
A Groundiess Fear.
This remarkable theory was advanced In
all seriousness and earnestness by man
whom know to be a. a rule level headed
and conservative. But l think on this
subject he Is as mad as March hare
have not the slightest notion that the TO
election OF Mr.. Cleveland would lead TO TO
bellion In the Rocky mountains or any
where else, and certainly not TO revoiu-
ton III the people do not want Mr.. Cleve-
land again they will have an opportunity
to say so at the polls, and IL majority
should vote for him there Is not one
chance In "A million that the minority
would do anything else than to accept the
result with as good grace as possible. "A

party passion which swept over this coun-
try Ia 1857 without the firing OF shoe
or utterance in any influential quarter OK

pended upon to endure In peace the cleo
tiorsof Mr. Cleveland to third term, IL
: Mr.. Cleveland ever is elected for the third
term.
President Cleveland's mail has Of late
been unusually heavy. The bond issue and
the financial and tariff questions, which
are now attracting the attention OF the
people. have caused large number OF citi-
, zens To sit down and write letters OF advics
! TO the president. Most Of these letters are
| YER; long and contain suggestions as ID
! | how the fpanoes should be managed, the
7 | government be conducted, congress 81
handled, etc All of these advice letteri
, actually reach the presidents hands, and
their average number is six or eight day
y 1t Is not SO certain that the president rcad'
!, them all Probably he glances at ever
It one of them and reads here and Their
{ whenever his attention Is attracted b,
& some particularly interesting line. Thes
!. letters are never answered, but their re
: ceipt is always acknowledged. In fact
it Is one of the traditions OF the Whit
House that every letter addressed TO tn
president must be acknowledged by tb
private secretary. Throughout the coun
| try are thousands Of men and women VIII
have had their hearts made glad by receip
of notes with the great words, ''Execu

h A senator who is q student Of histor.
"a called my attention to q Significant In

forest at this time. France and England
were about TO engage In war, and the EN-

whether be- would submit his case to arbi
10 tration the great Napoleon replied,
should be very glad to submit the entir

arbitration of the emperor OF Russia him
self and to give q bond to submit to'an

ever, refused to arbitrate, and the war
which followed cost hundreds of thousand
of lives and ended In tho overthrow .

N men gathered about aqueer sort OF vehicl
