Washington, June 19.-"The man

and heart of Glover Cleveland knows
that there is not an idea in the one
nor an impulse in the other that I'M
Dels or persuades him to contemplate
without repugnance the suggestion
Of his becoming for a fourth time

day sending his paper an account
of the visit The correspondent be
Heves MI Cleveland is deeply in
earnest in two things-frst, that
his name shall not be considered il
connection with the Democratic nom
nation. The second is his hearty de-
sire for the unity of TIE party and
tile success Of Democratic principles.
The following statement was made
by Mr.. Cleveland:
81 have never spoken to anybody
sn the subject of a fourth candidacy.
| have never written to q single po-
Htical friend cne way or another, nor
have | been written to or spoken to
by them. There is not political lead
ar of any prominence endeavOring to
advance any movement to nominate
me in any state, so far as I hcYe been
advised, nor do l anticipate that any
such offer will be made by any leader,
prominent or obscure, in any locality
sf the country. IN this respect the
situation is more than pleasing.
In earnestly desiring the Democrat
ic party to become strong and united
us Of old, committed to the simple
traditions and sound principles which
made it aggressive and victorious.
no thought of personal interest has
disturbed me- I have On several oc
Yasions within a year undertaken to
aerform the labor which usually falls
1o the private in the ranks, but there
has not lurked within me the hope
Of any reward save the consciousness
at having made an effort to assist in
bringing about salutary conditions in
the party" '3'ts55
Mr.. Cleveland Mr. Bailey said
would talk no more of politics, but in
response to a remark that southern
people were pleased with him with
what he had recently said on the
race question, the face of the former
president kindled with interest as he
said it was indeed gratifying to him
TO know this He said he had re-
y
Kindly sentiments from the southern
people since he had spoken on the
race problem, and believing he has
aIrly appreciated the difficulties
with which the southern people had
always to contend, it was all the
more pleasing reflection that he
had the commendation of people for
whom he had entertained respect and
admiration.
There was some talk attempted by
the correspondent to elicit an express
sion on the subject of the latest atti-
tude Of Mr.. Bryan and Editor Wat
arson toward Mr.. Cleveland. 'but, "
said Mr. Bailey, che would not talk
about that. The inference was un-
nistakable'
