Americans are engaged IN war with the
Philippine republic and with Tie king

was elected by the votes Of any mod

MIR. CLEVELAND FOR LEADER.
The New York Herald says: Former
President Grover Cleveland, who has
Just returned from a fishing excursion
in company with Mr.. <. G. Benedict,
was interviewed yesterday at his
home, in Princeton, N. j., in regard to
a recent statement made by J. Sterling
Morton, who was secretary Of Agricul-
ture in Mr.. Cleveland's second cabinet,
that the only man in the United States
who can unite the democratic party
and lead it to victory in 1900 upon a
platform primarily based upon policy
of anti-eXpansion is Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Morton based his opinion upon
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland has taken a
firm stand against territorial expan-
sion and that prominent party leaders
have confidence in his integrity and
acute Judgment at critical moments.
When questioned Mr. Cleveland said :.
81 can say absolutely nothing upon
that matter"
Heretofore Mr.. Cleveland's answer
has always been an emphatic negative
when he was spoken to in relation to
re.entering public life.
Whether he would again consent to
run for the Presidency is doubtful, but
that he will be found among the demo
cratic leaders in the next campaign Is
probable in case a policy of expansion
is recorded in the republican platform.
Mr.. Cleveland il said to be WRITING 9
book upon the progress of tie United
States during the last decade.
