The Kx President Parries Questions Put to IItm Kegtirding the Possibility of His Candidacy. Princeton, N. J., Special to He troit .Journal. Former President Cleveland has returned home highly pleased with the demonstrative welcome which was accorded to him in the West. In the course of an interview Mr. Cleveland was given several opportunities to declare his attitude toward a presidential nomination in hut he skillfully parried all <picstions hearing directly upon his own political future or that of the Democratic party. If one might judge by the smile with which Mr. Cleveland greeted ft reference to the words of ex? Senator Smith, of New Jersey, and Mack, of Buffalo, as fairly placing him in the field as the hope f the new Democracy, then it i> a fair inference that Mr. Cleveland regards himself as in the hands of his friends. Mr. Cleveland was asked if he had seen the papers in which he was hailed as a party leader and as the "sun of the new Democracy" for 1904. "Yes," said Mr. Clevoland, with another of his gracious smiles which seemed indicative of anything but displeasure; "yes, 1 read that while on the train to day. but surely you cannot expect iihj iu uisctisn me w .11 i v.* i |1J11I^.> that warm friends arc partial enough to say about me." "It will occur to many readers," said tbr interviewer, "thai when such prominent Democrats as former Senator Smith and Norman K. Muck come out and openly advocate your re-nomination next year as the one sensible thing for the party to do, it will occur to many that that fairly places you in the tield for the nomination, and the public naturally will ho interested to know what you ?ay about it." Mr. Cleveland laughed good naturedly, but raised his hand now in depreciation as he said, "O, no; I cannot consent to discuss politics, nor can I now say anything about the future of the Democracy or the outlook for mni i o?.., \i.. m.w.i. li/v/Ti x oau in i , iUati\ WIIIIC out West. Ho is a persouul friend and naturally entertains friendly sentiments." TRAVELING IS DANDEROUS. Constant motion jars the kidneys which are kept in place in the body by delicate attachments.
