Kissing and the Presidency.
Saws the esteemed Baltimore America

Saws the esteemed Baltimore American:
."The attitude of both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Cleveland in refusing to say positively that
they will decline the presidential nominal
zion If rendered shows that the old saying
is still in full force: The presidency is ike
kissing-it is not TO be sought and not TO
be declined.
The likeness does not stop there. bit
of experience seems to make man hungry
for more.
Take the case of Mr.. Cleveland. He be-
gan as the advocate of a single term in the
White House. and there can be no doubt
that he meant what he said. He had rap
idly Jumped from the mayoralty of Buffalo
by the way of the governorship of New
York to the leadership of the national
democracy. He had won the nomination
for the presidency over field of veterans
and some of them were still sore. He must
have their support at the polls, of course
in order to win and so in his letter OF &C
ceptance he pronounced against second
term. Give me one term. boys" he said
i'm effect land I'll be in no mans way next
time"
Once in the White House he soon saw his
mistake He liked the job. His friends told
him he filled the place as if he had been
born to it, Never mind that letter of &C
would understand. 1t was his duty to stand
for reelection. The party would be at
disadvantage if forced to put up a new
man. AS all this agreed fully with Mr..
Clevelands own appraisemen. of the situa-
ton the second race followed a matter
of course.
Mr. Cleveland's defeat in 1888 left both
him and his friends in bitter mood. The
charge was made that David B. Hill had
betrayed the national ticket in New York
in the interests of his own candidacy for
governor 1t was not difficult therefore for
his friends to convince Mr.. Cleveland that
he had not had square deal, and that he
owed 1t to himself and to the country to
try again. Besides, there was the tempta-
ton to break the record No man had ever
been nominated three times for the presi-
dency. This great honor was within his
reach. as he found, and he reached for it
eagerly, secured 1t, and was elected in 1892.
The argument offered in his favor now is
that only a man of his personal prestige
and official experience can lead the DEM
ocracy up to the heights again out Of
the morass of Organism His friends are
sounding his praises in the highest key, and
he is undoubtedly greatly tickled. Nothing
in the future is more safely within the
range of prediction than that If his party
can be induced to nominate this former
one-term advocate fourth tma after hav-
Ing elected him twice. he will jump at the
opportunity to try again for the White
House.
And thus we see that the osculatory favor
which Miss Columbia bestowed upon Mr..
Cleveland In 1884 and in 1892 dwells in his
memory fondly still. and he will be glad
If she will repeat the performance next
year

Aid Philippine Commerce,


The specter of tariff revision will not
down, much as the standpatters would like
to get rid of it. No sooner is the question
of more liberal tariff arrangements with
Cuba fairly on this way to a settlement
than the demands Of the Philippines for
similar benefits are pressed forward In
the case of other island dependencies it has
been frankly recognized that the peculiar
relations held toward them by this govern
ment justified especially liberal tariff ar
rangements. Porto Rico and Hawaii have
profited by the recognition of that principle
