Some Talk Of Cleveland as President of Uni
versity Of Virginia.

The Board of Trustees of the University
of Virginia will meet today in Charlottes-
vile to elect the first president of that
famous educational institution. There are
only nine members of the board. Yester-
days Washington Post said that since the
withdrawal of DR.. Moore, an effort would
be made to induce ex-President Cleveland
to accept the presidency and to that end
a strong effort will be made to postpone
the election of president from next Sat
urday to some future time so as to afford
ample opportunity for the bringing out and
consideration of other names in connec-
ton with the presidency This movement
will have the support of those who are
leading the fight in behalf Of Mr.. Cleve-
land.

sons in connection with the presidency are
Dr. John Bassett Moore. professor Of
economics, Columbia University, New York
City; President Charles w. Dabney of the
University of Tennessee; President Frank

dressed to the Board of Visitors defense
of himself, which is said by the several

seen it to be a paper of great power
The writer claims that he has never been
candidate for the position, and con
clusively shows this, according to those
who have seen his communication, which
is said to be OF considerable length
''The presidency is said by many to be
between DR.. Moore and President Dabney,
though on account of the number of gen,

is simply impossible to forecast with any
degree of confidence who will be the
choice of the board
