Doesn't Want the Nomination.

Says the Arkansas Democrat;
"Grover Cleveland has written to
a friend in Georgia that he has
never had any desire to carry the
banner Of democracy a fourth
time and in that declaration he
probably expresses his true feel
ings. Mr.. Cleveland has never
shown any such desire, and those
who have criticised him for a
seeming purpose to have the par
ty endorse him for another term
have done so without cause"
