New York, Nov. 27-Grover Cleveland

Princeton. Nov 25, 1903.
My Dear Mr.. McKelway:
Il have wanted for a long time to say
something which l think shuld be said
to YOU before others.
you can never know how grateful I
am for the manifestation of kindly feeling
toward me on the part Of my countrymen,
which your initiative has brought out.
Your advocacy in the Eagle of my nomi-
nation for the Presidency came to me as
a great surprise; and it has been seconded
in such manner by Democratic sentiment
that conflicting thoughts of gratitude and
duty have caused me to hesitate as to the
time and manner of a declaration on my
part concerning the subiect-if such a
declaration should seem necessary or
proper.
In the midst of it all, and in full view
Of every consideration presented, I have
not for moment been able, nor am I
now able, to open my mind to the
thought that in any circumstances or upon
become the nominee Of my party for the
presidency.
my determination not to do SO is un-
alterable and conclusive.
This you, at least ought to know from
me, and l should be glad if the Eagle were
made the medium of its conveyance to The
public.
VERY sincerely yours,
(Signed.) "GROVER CLEVELAND.

THE DOCTRINE OF BASSETT.
A Prominent Methodist on This and
Other Matters at Trinity.
(special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Goldsboro, N. c., Nov. 27.-'I see that
some of the students of Trinity College
have been holding a meeting and uphold
ing Bassettism, said a prosperous Meth
odist layman who Is here at conference.
II am sorry to see them drawing the
boys into such business. 1t is bad enough
for men to get wrong. 1t is worse for
the boys to start out in life wrong. The
boys at a college are always disposed to
stand by their teachers and l do not
like to see this generous spirit appealed
to at time like this. l also see that
some of the professors threaten to resign
if the trustees do anything to Prof. Bas-
sett Now isn't that a pretty howdy
do? L, for one, say that if the faculty
wish to thus threaten the church and
trustees, the sooner they are permitted
to resign, the better. In fact the col
lege will be better off when every man
there, who is governed by the rule or
ruin spirit, is replaced by man of let
ters who is in sympathy with North
Carolina ways.
1.-THE truth is,' he continued, that the
spirit at Trinity College is so antagons-
tic to what we old-fashioned fellows hold
dear that many Methodists do not wish
their boys educated there until there is
new spirit dominant in the institution
'Bassett's production isn't the only
strange and unwholesome doctrine that
has been proclaimed by the president
and instructors there. The whole tone
that reaches the public is one of CONNER
calism and materialism, as we'll as of
contempt of North Carolina traditions.
If that sort of instruction continues and
that spirit remains dominant, we can at
least keep our boys away from the malign
influences, even if the trustees are deaf
to the demands of 100000 Methodists.
