THE CLEVELAND LETTER.
The letter received by the editor of The Athens Banner from Mr. GrOVel
Cleveland, was printed in every morning newspaper of any prominence in the
United States on the morning after it was received, not only in the English
language, hot in all influential newspapers published in all languages.
A large number of the newspapers published in Georgia aud elsewhere
throughout the country, have commented on the letter editorially, one Geor
gia newspaper, the Bainbridge Argns, declaring that this letter developed the
fact that nine-tenths of the Georgia newspapers favored the nomination of
Mr. Cleveland by the Democra’lc party for President next year.
A number of the editorial comments on the letter received by the editor
of The Banner, taken at random from those in hand, will be iutsfestiug
reading:
The Colnmbns Enqnlrer-Snn says: "Ignite a number of Democrats and
Democratic papers argue that Mr. Cleveland's latest utterance r< gardiug him
self as the Democratic nominee for President next year is a direct statement
that be would refuse the nomination if it should be tendered to him. This,
however, seems to be taking something for granted. Mr. Cleveland - !! ^crply
to Mr. B. F. Holder, Jr , editor of the Athens Banner, w ho asked if he was
cosidering or would consider another nomination at the hands of the Demo
crats, dors not state that he would not accept the nomination. His reply was
non committal, it is true, but Mr. Cleveland could hardly have answtred
otherwise.”
Commenting cu the letter written by Mr. Cleveland to the editor of The
Banner, the Savannah Press says editorially : “Some of Mr. CleverjKtd’s
friend! predict that he will run for a third term, if nominated, while others
eaually as emphatically declare that he has no idea of submitting his name
before the convention, or of being a candidate in any way for this high posi
tion.” The press then tells of the poll made by The Banner and quotes a
paragraph from Mr Cleveland’s letter to the editor of this paper.
In discussing the headline comments on the letter written to ne by Mr.
Cleveland, the Savannah Morning News Bays : “It seemed tons thatT^&r.
Cleveland frankly said that he did not want the nomination, was not
seeking it, bnt was not prepared to say that he would not accept it because ho
oculd not foresee what might happen between now and the time of the meet
ing of the Democratic National Committee.”
Pennsylvania Grit, an independent newspaper published Williamsport,
Pa., published a cartoon on the letter showing Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryou
on a mule, representing the Democratic party. Above the two was a banner
containing the sentence from Mr. Cleveland's letter to the editor of this p^per
in which he said he was "cot desiroos of carrying the Democratic banner tor
the fourth time In a presidential contest” while the title cf the cartoon was a
question from Mr. Bryan asking, "Then why don’t yon get off?” Comment
ing on the letter editorially, Pennsylvania Grit says : "Mr. Cleveland is a
man who fully appreciates the value of words He may not be 'desirous’ of
again being the Democratic presidential candidate, still he may bo compelled
to do so if hie party demand that he shall, or any considerable element of it
for that matter.’’ -J
The Brunswick Journal, commenting on the letter, says: "Mr. Cleve
land is still popular with a large element in his party, especially the souerd
money men, bnt there are great difficulties in the way for another nomina
tion.” The Journal thinks "it would have been just as easy to say in pit
English that he would not again Le a candidate, bnt he prefers to leave
matter open.”
The Philadelphia Press, one of the strongest newspapers in the United
States, says : "Mr. Cleveland will not deolino another nomination for the
presidency if offered by his party. That is clear from his lettet to B. F.
u:a-

Holder, Jr., editor of the Athens (Ga.) Banner.'
. resident Cleveland to
Editor Holder of The Athens Banner, which was telegraphed all ov.-r the
country Saturday night and published in the Sunday morning papers, is very
generally interpreted to mean that Mr. Cleveland is willing to again become
the Democratic candidate for the presidency if the nomination is tendered
him."
The Dauielsville Monitor says : "The Athens Banner, it seems, intends
to have Mr. Cleveland president again whether the remainder of the people
want him or not. The editor of The Banner has the distinction of being tho
first to receive an autograph letter from the retired man of Princeton."
And so it goes. The Banner has received scores of clippings like those
printed above. Now and then a newapaper expresses the opinion that Mr.
Cleveland has no ohance for the nomination, aud absolutely none for being
elected were he nominated, bnt the bulk of the Democratic newspapers com
menting on the expression from Mr. Cleveland favorB his nomination and
election.
