New York, March 10.-While he
will continue all his life to preach the
doctrine of democracy, former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland positively de-
clares that he will not hereafter take
any active part in the affairs OF the
party. He stated that in an advisory
capacity he can always be called up
on. He asserted, however, that he
had not within year held any polit-
ical conference with men prominent
in the democratic party, nor had he
discussed the ACCESSIBILITY or POSSIBLE
ity of any man for the presidential
nomination nor the issues upon which
the next presidential campaign will
be fought
Every time I set foot in your great
metropolis erroneous rumors are cir
culated concerning the real object of
my visit, and some political report is
started which places me in a wrong
light before the nation said the for
mer president. Politics is the re-
hottest thought in my mind at the

cuMMlNs KEEPS SILENCE.
Refuses to Talk of Conference With
President Rnnseueit

Des Moines, March 1O.-Governor
Cummins has returned from his three
weeks trip to Washington and the
south. The governor refuses to make
statement with regard to his con-
ference with President Roosevelt,
more than that they were highly sat
isfactory in character, nor would he
be interviewed upon the subject of the
next platform.
However, it was easy to detect in
the governors manner the air of a
man who was satisfied with the situa-
ton. and certainly his words, while
carefully guarded, did not conceal the
fact that he met with nothing in Wash
ington or elsewhere which caused him
to change his tariff policy.
