greeted the mention of his name in
his ascendency.
| In conclusion it may be repeated
with absolute confidence that Mr..
Cleveland neither desires nor ex.
poets the democratic nomination
next year. He is contented and
happy here and contemplates only
the continuation of his present en-
vironment in the remaining years
of his life. If he has any yearning
of political nature, it is to live to
see restored and virile democracy
once again in power, led by wise
land honest craftsmanship along
paths of safety and honor, and HIM
lself private in the ranks.
Washington, June 20.-Greaterev-
en- than his concern over the scand-
ais in the postoffice department is
President Roosevelt's worry about
the situation in New York state.
The President is convinced he can
carry the West. He is not sure he
can carry New York, Connecticut or
New Jersey. He relies on his friends
to straighten out things for him in
Conneticut aud New Jersey, but he
intends to take personal charge of
the New York situation, and to de-
vote most of his time at Oyster
Bay to the Strengthening out of the
tangles.
i The president thinks he can be
4 elected without New York. He is
1 not certain, either. that the disaf-
!. fection SO widely reported there is
not the bogy OF the politiciansrather
than the real sentiment of the mas
|ses. That is what he wants to find
out this summer. He is of the opin-
ion that the people OF New Jersey
are for him. If they are not, hs
thinks he can worry through, but
he ad mits it would be humiliating
for presidential candidate to fail
in carrying his own state.
The president intends to bring
Platt and Oiell together if he can
, and TO smooth over all differences.
If he can get the money producers
) for him by any act that will not
stultify him he will go the limit in
r that direction. He intends to be
! the boss for a time. He will make
. a strenuous endeavor to transfer the
: headquarters of the Republican par.
,Ity for the time being from No. 49
r Broadway and the Oriental Hotel
t to Sycamore Hill.
