proposition to merge the bureau Of sta

there has been startling decline in the
quantity of natural products which this
country could spare for expectation, and

with the rapid increase in population and
the inability to materially increase the
agricultural area in the United States

maker this morning. and 1t became nee
essary for him to 60 to the Emergency

Princeton, Nov 19.-The position Of
William Jennings Bryan on the coming
Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency of the United States was gone
over with former President Grover
Cleveland by a correspondent and an
Interview was sought.
Mr.. Cleveland thought the matter
oyer for some time, talked a little Of
Jersey politics, and said he thought
Democracy was coming into its own
again in New Jersey. Then, speaking
direct to the Bryan position as pub
lished in the Commoner, he said:
Il am not surprised at all at Mr.
Bryan's declaration, and I do not see
that any Democrat should be surprised
at his seeming intention to seek a re-
nomination.
ITO me the question seems to be, To
whom ought we to look for leadership
In the Democratic party? In view Of
past experiences, what are we going
to do about It?
~ THAT Is question tnat may wen
command the immediate attention Of
the leaders.
IT do not think this the time to say
anything more on this subject"
The ex-president relates his, expert
ences of the past two days cunning
In the vicinity Of Princeton. Il enjoy
the air." he said, "but do not get In
the thick Of the shooting"
! Grover Cleveland, the man, has lost
his. flesh, bnthis eyes are bright, his
flesh has a good color, and his appear
ance gives defiance to stories that ne

use of a cane to help out little rheu-
matism, he would be taken for Wig
