81 believe the time has arrived when
the last vestige. of sectionalism should be
wiped out in this country said Demo
cratic State Chairman White last evening.

loyalty of the South beyond peradven-

country are now common to all. and the
time is now right to put a quietus on
all talk of the North against the South
or Of the South against the North. | be
lieve the time is right for us to nominate
a Southern man for President, and
believe we should go to the old Mother

Close friends of Mr.. Cleveland quote
him as saying that he wishes people
wouldn't write to him about politics and
quote him as saying: cit is beginning to
wear on mel cannot stand it much lon
ger. They apparently do not respect the
wish that 1 be allowed to live here with
my family in absolute retirement. If it
continues it will force me 70 run away
somewhere to escape 1t must be
stopped" If that is his feeling, it should
be respected. His return to active poll
tics could bring him no pleasure and his
party no good. Let him alone IN the
quiet of his family and his fishing diver
sions.
