CLEVELAND IX 1888.IWLr. Donheimer Tells About Hi* Con¬

versation With the President*THE PRESIDENT'S WISH TO MAKE A PUBLIC DECLA¬RATION' WITHDRAWING FROM THE RACE.DISSUADEDFROM HIS PURPOSE BY THE NEW TORE EDITOR-NO LETTER WRITTEN.

The following statement from Mr. DorshelmerIn regard to the President's Intentions appearsIn the editorial columns of the New York Star to¬day:"In view of the reports which have been

sent out by the Washington correspondents ofsome Western newspapers. I think It proper tomake the following statement: In January lastthe President said to me that he had been contem¬plating the making of a public declaration whichwould take him out of the fleld as a candidate in1888. He said that he was led to this conclusionnot only by personal considerations, but becausehe thought such a course would relieve him fromImputations which were daily cast upon him,ana which Interfered with his usefulness In office.After listening to the President's observationsand supposing that he wished an expression ofmy opinion, I toldShlm that I thought such adeclaration would be very unwise and that itwould Increase his perplexities rather than di¬minish them. I also said that it was not forhim to say whether he would be a candidatelor re-election or not. That that was a matterto be decided by the democracy, who had hon¬ored him greatly and who had a right to his ser¬vices if they desired them. I also urged that notradition would be broken by his candidacy for asecond term, and that It might be most importantto his party and the country that he should be re¬elected. After a long conversation upon this sub¬ject, the effect of which was as I have stated, thematter was dropped and has not since been alludedto, except in a casual manner. I have never hadin my possession a letter from the President withreference to a second term, nor have I ever seensuch a letter, or the draft of one. I have not beenin Washington since the 4th of this month. If thePresident has arrived at the determination sug-Sested lu his conversation with me last January Io not know It. But knowing well his character

I am confident that if he thinks it his duty to de¬cline a renominatlon be will make his intentionpublic In a way which will render a misunder¬standing of it impossible. In common with otherpersonal friends, and, as I believe, with the greatbody of the democracy and a large part of the In¬dependent and republican voters, I sincerely hopethat Mr. .Cleveland will accept the nomination,which, according to present appearances, will betendered to him without serious dissent.

"WM. DOKSUBIMKR."New York, April 25,1887."

The Facts in the Case.UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES THE PRESIDENT

SPOKE TO MR. DORSHBIUKR AND OTHERS.The editorial announcement by Mr. Dorshelmer

of what he knows about the second-term story hasnot created much of a sensation. What the Presi¬dent's sentiments were oil January last Is prettywell known to a number of public men with whomhe spoke at that time. The question of a secondterm for Mr. Cleveland was not at thattime being talked of as It Is now.It came up only Incidentally. The matterwhich then concerned the President and otherprominent men In the party was the failure ofCongress to do anything. The matter was spokentii between the President and democratic membersof both the Mouse and the Senate, and regret wasfreely expressed by the President at the inac¬tion. It was sometimes suggested that therewere Presidential aspirants in Congresswho blocked legislation, because ofthe fear or advancing Mr. Cleveland toward asecond terra. In answer to this suggestion thePresident said, patriotically, that If fear of his get¬ting a second term was preventing congress frompassing legislation that the good of the countrydemauded, It might be well for him to relievethem of this fear by stepping aside. Itwas in this way that Mr. Clevelandreferred to the question of a second term in speak¬ing to several public men In connection with theinaction of Congress* He probably spoke to Mr.Dorshelmer in the same view when he called atthe While House. Had he been reposing a conli-uence he would, doubtless, have spoken with someone of his more intimate friends and advisers.

Yet no man had more friends;no citizen a wider circle of pleasant associates.He leaves universally regretted, as sorry to go asany other Virginian to leave home, and says hewill come back some day. even if he has to live onfish and catch the tlsh lilmseU.

Alleged Plan* of tlte "Bed Inter-natonal" to Revolt in IHHt.

Chicago, April 26..The Ked International, orthe International Worfclngmen's Association, wasfounded In San Francisco In 1SX5. It was organ¬ized in all the principal citiesthroughout the West¬ern States, after he modei of the KuighLs or Laborassemblies, and is by far more s<-rr>'t than that,

.organization. It is now authoritatively announcedby an organ of the socialists that the leader oi the"Reds" proposes

AN rPKIKINO in 18»».What \tould occur were the uprising he counts

on successful Is thus outlined: "The circumstancewhich may permit decisive action will probably bethese: In 1KS!» the present panic will approach aclimax, accompanied by closed factories, starvingworkers rioting, and the use or military force, itmay even be complicated by a bitter class reeling,resulting in a suppression or i lie rights of freespeech, meeting, and prt^s. Until lh<-u, unless thewhole people are aroused, it Is t he duty of the wisesocialist to hold aloof from riots in special locali¬ties. To strike this year would be to uselesslyslaughter our best people aud put back the causea hundred years.

ONE YEAR OP PANICmeans a trebling or our forces^.t the very least.And while with our present 100,000 socialistsforcible action Is Impossible, with 400,000 (what thenext panic will give us If we manage wisely) wehold the game in our own hands."The article states that they expect to have In

the United States in 1SS9 at least half a millionearnest socialists, divided somew hat as lollows:Chicago, 25,000; New York. 25,000; in the NewEngland factory states, KiO.OOO; in the centralcoal and iron region. 100,000; in Colorado and theWestern states, 5(t,000; on the 1'adlic coast,50.000; in the Atlantic and southern eities alto¬gether, 100,000, and scattered at various points intowns aud villages, 50,000 more.

"THE PANIC (X)MKS,the public are excited, outbreaks occur, the largecenters revolt, the places where but a tew social¬ists exist are made points for rallying of the con¬servative element. In these small places it shouldbe made the duty of the socialists there presidingto raise sufficient turmoil to keep the conserva¬tives busy at home. Meanwhile, fn large centerslx)ld measures should he taken, our people shouldhead, lead, and control the popular revolt; shouldseize the places oi power; should lay hands uponthe machinery of the Government.

ONCE INSTALLSn IN POWER,the revolutionary committee should follow thiscourse of action. The decrees should at once bepromulgated and enforced."It Is proposed to make chlcago the headquarters

of the uprising in lsn», which is to follow thecombination o: the different branches of the in¬ternational lists, and quite an elaborate pro¬gram Ls outlined oi the manner in which thestyle of govern.neiii will be cnanged after the re¬volt has proved successful. The year 1H8H is alsothe one decided in lswo by the National Federa¬tion of *1 rades and labor assemblies as the one inwhich the eight-hour rule should go into effect.
