Washington Politicians Think He
Wished to Get linking of Bryan
Democracy Sentiment.
CAUSE TO BE GRATIEIED.
Former President Not Seeking
Nomination, but Friends Say He
Would Not Object if 1t
Sought Him.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
WASHINGTON May 1T is known in
Washington that one object of Mr.. Cleve-
lands visit to St. Louis was to obtain. i:
possible. an inkling of the sentiment OF the
Bryan Democracy toward himself: to learr.
whether they regard him az possible. II
was assumed by Mr. Cieveland's friends
that the Bryan wing would be represented
in st. Louis by some one OF prominence
with whom the former Presidents advis-
ers could confer.
Thus far no intimation has come East Of
the result Of the inquiries In that direc-
ton. The reports of the ovation given Mr..
Cleveland Indicate that ne had reason to be
Sratifed with the outburst of public senti-
ment toward him, but whether he received
the assurance he sought is not disclosed.
There is no doubt of MIR. Brvan's attitude
toward Mr.. Cleveland any more than there
is OF Mr.. Watterson's. They are against
him from start to finish. But there might
be a question whether these two leaders
could hold the Western wing of the party
in that position Of hostility.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends rave figured on
the possibility Of the Western Democrats
being ready to bury the Ratchet. to let
bysones De bygones and come together In
the light of favorable Democratic prospects
which they think is waxing stronger. They
have felt that the hostile leaders might
be swept off their feet by a wave of popu-
lar demonstration, which they expected to
have its inception at st. Louis.
From one source information is at hand
that the former President is not seeking
the nomination. One of his closest friends
stated very recently that Mr.. Cleveland
was not after the presidency and made
the statement upon the authority of Mr..
Cleveland.
Democratic politicians who nave dis
crssed that statement say that Mr.. Cleve-
land may not be seeking the nomination,
but that he undoubtedly will encourage its
seeking him.
