Milwaukee, May IA special to
The Sentinel from Madison. Wis, by
staff correspondent says: Grover
Cleveland, twice president of the Unit
ed States, will not be a candidate for

This is the opinion stated by William
+. Villas, ex-senator from Wisconsin,
postmaster general and later secretary
of the Interior in Cleveland's' cabinet.
and beyond question one of the closest
political and personal friends the eX-
president has in the country.

Nebraskan Insists For
mer President Can
not Win Again
EVEN THE NOMINATION
But Will Not Discuss
Either Candidate or
Platform.

Newark, n. J., May 1.-THE News
has an interview with Hon. William
]. Bryan from it's Lincoln, Neb., cor
respondent. The correspondent says
that Bryan refused to be interviewed
unless the questions and replies were
put in writing verbally as spoken.
After some questions as to the st.
Louis fair dedication, to which Bryan
was invited, which invitation was de-
clined, Bryan was asked if it were
possible for Cleveland to be nominated
for president next year. He replied:
"There is not the remOtest possibility
of Mr.. Cleveland becoming the NOM
inee. Even his staunchest friends
would not risk him as a candidate"
His View of Clevelands Plan.
He added that CIeveland's purpose
was probably to positively refuse a
nomination after awhile. and then al
low his friends to say that he would
have been nominated and elected had
he not refused to run. He declared
that the tail of the Democratic par
ty" was Just as monOpolistic in its
> tendencies as the Republican party,
and that there were several newSpa-
pers calling themselves Democratic,
who were in the same boat, among
them the Chicago Chronicle and Louis
vile Courier journal.
Declines to Discuss a Candidate.
To question as to who was to be
the Democratic nominee in 1904. Bry-
an said he could not discuss that ques-
ton, but the geographical position of
the candidate would not figure in the
advantages. The candidate must be in
sympathy with the masses of the peo-
pie. Neither would he talk about prob
able issues. saying that conditions are
constantly changing. He approved of
President Roosevelt's action in the an
thracite strike and said that the mer-
ger decision was good, but scarcely
touched the trust question.
Daddy Hog Was "nIark Hanna"
Then he turned the correspondent
over to one of his boys to be shown
the farm and stock. Coming to a fam
lily of swine the boy pointed to two
fine specimens and said: THE name
of that one is Sixteen-to-One. the
mother of this litter, and the other,
the father, is named Mark Hanna

pected to meet the boy in about IS
minutes. He pointed out the course,

place for the son to stop and wait for
