Mr. Cleveland declines io be interviewed on the presidential situation. He seems at present to be less worried over the presidential possibilities of the future than any other man in Ametioa. Mr. Cleveland has always believed that the American people are thoroughly capable of settling these matters for themselves. Lake County News: R. Gregory and W. A.

People admire moral courage in a man, even they do not agree with him in opinion. ’’
