G. CLEVELAND STARTLED
BY A CTION OF DEM OCR A TS
IN NOMINA TING HE A RST
New York, Oct. 11.—The World thin
morning »«>’»:
• The pemOeratlc political altuatfon In
New York, In the opinion of Grover
Cleveland, expreseed to a representa
tive of The World at. his hoifte In
Princeton yesterday, puts a dilemma
■up' to the conscience of every voter.
Jlr. Cleveland would give no advice tc
pvmocrats as to their duty, emphasis
ing that he did. not wish to appear to
meddle In New York politics. It was
,,n!v after he had expressed his opin
ion'so earnestly that there was no mis
taking his attitude that he consented
to write this expression of his views:
•It Is difficult for me to overcome
,uv reluctance to express my views of
the present political situation In the
•tate of New York, and yet I can never
io«e the Interest In her political wel
fare which has grown out of my long
residence there, and my active partici
pation In her political movements.
“ T confess I was exceedingly sur
prised by the outcome of the recent
Democratic state convention. Though
I was not near enough to be In touch
with the Incidents leading up to the re
sult, being absent on my vacation, and
giving little attention to political oc
currences, my estimate of the conser
vative good Judgment of the Dem
ocracy of the state and my conception
of Democratic principles and purposes
were such that I was profoundly star
tled by the selection made of a candi
date to represent them In the pending
canvass.
“ 'Of course every voter of the state
must settle with his own conscience In
determining his action In this emergen
cy, but I can not but regard the Demo
cratic situation presented to my old
associates In New York as an afflictive
one.’"
OWLS AND TOAD FROGS
PREDICT HARD WINTER
That the cumin's winter Is going to be the hardest one for the past
twenty years there‘are an abundance of signs to show, and among them
may be mentioned the fact that:
The corn husks are a foot and a half thick, and all the stalks lean to
the west.
The frogs have already begun searching the bottoms of millponds and
mudholes to And out She deepest places.
The geese, ducks and chickens are growing a coat of fur under their
reathers and are rubbing borax on their feet to harden them up.
All the one-eyed owls are leaving the country a month earlier than
usual, and the bob-tolled squirrels are laying In sweet potatoes as well as
nuts, for winter provision.
The termer who has taken the trouble to Investigate has found that
all the toadstools on the old logs havo wrinkles In them. The last time
that this happened we had winter weather that froze the handles off
of plows.
Rabbits are sitting around, with a humped-up look to them; and
Held mice have wrinkles In their tails. If this means anything, R means
twenty degrees below zero from Novvember through to May.
Cows are hunting around for pieces of flannel to wrap up their tails
In, and hogs are rooting their way to the middle of straw stacks. In In
diana this la a sure sign that the highways will be blockaded with snow
for weeks at a time.
The watermelon hod an unusually short season, carrots are so brittle
that you can’t pick your teeth with them, and tho rail fences of the coun
try show a disposition to lie down and rest.
Tho farmer who makes the weather a study has found that the clouds
are floating high, the geese squawking louder than usual and the pole
cat showing a flmlllartty that he has not betrayed for ten years past.
There Isn’t the least doubt that we are In for a regular old buster, and
the man who pays his debts this fall may have reason to regret It be
fore spring.
