M
Third TermIDiscusslon.

The discussion of athird term for

President Cleveland is in active pro-

giess, but it is only just to say that it

is confined to Republican and Demo- _

cratic organs who cordially dislike the
That Mr. Cleveland has
ever entertained the idea of being a
candidate for another term we do not
believe. Even if he were ambitions to
reverse the unbroken custom of the
nation, he could not be blind t) the
fact that that custom is irreversible.

It is the unwritten lawa the Nation
that no man shall be chosen to the
Presidency beyond two terms, and
the sentiment is deeply seated in the
convictions of the American people,
Washington could have been chosen to
a third term if he had not peremptorily
declined. ii, and the fact that he refused
a third term has established an immut-
able law that none of his successors can
violate. Geneialfi‘rrant tried it under
tie ablest political leadership of the
country in 1880, and the result Was
only humil: ating defeat for a man who
had been twice chosen to the Presiden-
cy by overwhelming majorities.

Jefierson might have made a contest
for a third term in 1808 when he volun-
tarily retired. He Was then altogether
the strengest man of the Nation with
theIIpeoi’ple. Washington was not among
the living, and Jefferson‘s leadership

.eveupommandrd greater enthusiasm ,.

than did that of Washington. He

chose to retire in obedience to Wash-

ington’s example, and the fact that he
lived for nearly two decades after his
retirement proved that he was not in-
fluenced by inability to perform the
duties of the office.

Madison, wno succeeded Jefferson,
aISO accepted the example of Washing-
ton, and from the time of his re-election
in 1812 the question of his election to a
third term was never thought of or even
I I or
Monioe succeeded Madi-
and was re-elected in 182') by
practically a unanimous vote. He
would have received the unanimous
vote of the electoral college of the
country but forIthe fact that one elector
withheld his vote from him for the
avmved reason 1hat he believed Wash-
ington should stand alone inItue history
of the coautry as the only unanimously
elected Chief Magistrate. His second
term continued the era of good feeling
exhibited in his re-election, but no one
thought of giving to Monroe 11 third
term, alihougn he lived a‘number of
years after his retirement.

General Jackson was anotherpossibii-
ity in a successful contest for a third
term if he had chosen to seek it, but he
imitiated the example of Washington
by delivering a farewell address to the
nation at the close of his second term,
distinctlyudeclining to be considered a
candidate and obiviously asauming that
Wiishington had fixed the unwritten law
of the country that no President should
serve more than two terms. Had Lin-
coln been in his second term during the
war there might have been come excuse
for a departure from the unwritten law
to which all had previously bowed, but
hadLincoIn lI-Vcd to the close of his sec-
ond term, with all his populariiy he

his enemies.
son,

‘ could not have been seriously consider-

ed asacandidate to-succeed himself,
nor would he have pe rmittcd it.

It is entirely safe to assume, there-
fore, that the two terms for the Presi-
dency isI'lh‘e unwritten‘and irrevocable
law of the Republic, and no man of
Cleveland’s intelligent and Just concep-
tionicould for a moment misunderstand
it. . . ‘ ,
President Cleveland has three times
been a candidate before the people,
and each time received an° increased
popular majority. ' lie was first chosen
in 1884 by 26,000 majority; in 1888 he
received 96, 000 majority, although he

 

i

1was-defeated in the electoral college,
and in 1892 he received nearly 400,000
majority. '

If any previous President- had been
elected to a third term Mr. Cleveland
would be a possibility for 1896, notwilh-

cause of a. number Of leading Dema-
cratic politicians, but as the record is
unbroken and the unwritten
01 able, surely he will not for
entertain the question of being a condi-
date. Only some most extraordinary
national peiil could make the people
of the country seriously consider the
lqueslion of electing any man to the
Presidency for a longer pe1iod than
that accepted by Washington. Whether
it shall be called sentimental or logical,
it is the accepted and unchangeable law
of the Nation, and that settles 11.

J udge George Wheeler’s Finding.

made against the ofiicials of an insur-
ance company are contained in the find-
ing of Judge George W. Wheeler ofthe
Superior court in the case of Dr. Aus-
tin Fuller of New Haven vs. the Metro-
politan L.fe Insurance Co , the main
facts of which were made public Mon-
day.

'I‘he'testimouv of the officials of the
company is handled in a savfige manner
by Judge Wheeler in his finding, part
of which follows: “The defendant comv
puny, did not keep its account of the
fund in question according to the plan
represented. It appropriated, before it
passed to the fund such part as it needed
to make up its deficits. It makes no ad
equate explanation of the gross discrep-
ancy between the icpreseutations and
the payments made.

“ The defendant has :v that it con-
tracted to insure the assignors under
the reserve dividend plan ; it know
that it did not keep its accounts accord-
ing to this plan. It has conducted this
case in almost sole reliance as tO' the
facts in ev1dence upon the testimony of
its president, John R. Hegeman, who
was an official of the. company when
these politics were issued; Hegeman
is an untruthful witness—he denies in
this suit, as does tie company, that the
plan of the policies was the plan of the
Key—that is essentially a false position.

The other present official of the de
fondant during the period of these
policies was the actuary, Craig, whose

this case, is a manifest attempt on his
part to conceal the truth.

The conclusion from the facts. pre-
sented must follow that the reasons for
the false position of the defendant in
this case and the attitude of its ofiicers
arises from the facts that the company
has not rendered an honest account.”

There is practically no doubt that the
plaintiffs will proceed against the com-
pany for further salisiaction of a more
material nature than that granted by
Judge Wheeler, and there is also little
doubt that suits will be brought by
other parties in other parts of the
country who are affected favorably by
the decision.- It is essentially a test.
case brought by Dr. Fuller. and hun-
dreds ofrpei'sons have been watching
its probable outcome with interest. '
