ALBANY, Dec. 2O.-Governor-eleet. Cleveland
it is said intends to como from Buffalo
here either on Wednesday or Thursday ot
next week; and TO employ the days
previous 10 his inauguration in completing his
message to the Legislature. He will be Inaugu-
rated as Governor on January /. 1t Will be per-
C. wed that he will he only few days in the city
before he takes up his Official work. and, that his
time promiSeSto he fully occupied during that in-
torval Yet his fellow Democratic politicians. If

are determined that there shall he new de-
parturo' in politics. At least he has exhibited a
dislike Of the od.faShioncd methods OF secur-

ut .erly absurd GnI antiquated idea that
" Ihe oilcc should seek the man aud not the man

cratic horde seeking Office his ba .kbone NAV give
wav. Al the same time it Is but JUS ca TO the in
c"mng Governor to permit these prom es of his
frenas in his behalf to be made public. One of
these friends who mas been in Buia recently, said
to-day: Mr. Clrve ana has made no pledges tnat
be VIII app0nt thiS or that mal 70 Office is making
none, and wi make DOue. ils own idea OF ap-
p0iutmcnts seems TO he TO disregard ap-
phcatious and petitions and sex about

than the men to carry ont that policy was the sub
