In response to the question, "If not
Cleveand who? the New York World
quotes Senator Daniel as saying:
Nothing could be more illogical than
the nomination of President Cleveland for
a third term. There is not the least es-
sence OF logic In the proposition. His
nomination would be an abandonment
of every principle the party has ever
avowed. You can say that in the Worid
for me. l would not support any man

In response to the same question, Senae
tor Martin Is quoted as saying;
II prefer not to discuss the question
as to who is the logical candidate"
Representative Otey is quoted as fol-
lows: 81 do not think Cleveland would
be the natural candidate. l have thought

T.. G. Benedict, the Presidents friend:

Cleveland the logical candidate on that

Letting an eminently satisfactory cand-
date without breaking the two-tern pre-
cedent. But few men In this State (North
Carollna) think that Mr.. Cleveland should
again be elected President. His nominal

Many other replies TO the question are
given by Democrats Of prominence in
aud out of Congress. Party-leaders de-
clare that the President could not carry

New England generally approve OF ls,n

Paid the Number of Visits.

DR.. \. L. Leftwich. of Henrico, whose
bill Of $50 fon attending the county poor
was scaled down TO So over his protest
by the supervisors, denied in the meeting
that he had charged for more visits than
he had paid. Under the present system
the Overseer of the Poor can employ any
physician he chooses to visit the poor
who are not inmates of the almshouse.
He gives him a ticket which is good for
FIVE visits, and for which the county
pays.
DIR. Ieftwich had eleven Of these
tickets, which he attached to his bill as
vouchers. lie said, however. that I'm some
cases he only paid one or two visits, and
that In others he found IL necessary to
visit the patient ten 10 twenty times,
and that he simply put all the visits paid
together. and then averaged them.
The board held that where less than
five visits were made only the number
made should be paid for. and where there
were more only FIVE should be paid for,
and therefore the bill was scaled down.
