Letter from George william Curtis.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The Star says
the following reply to the inquiry sent to
George William Curtis by a Government
employe here has just been received:
WEST New BRIGHTON, N. Y.-Dear Sir:
/ have your letter of the 18th. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland will encounter
tremendous demands for a clean sweep,
but I think that while changes will be
made and ought to be made, for perfectly
legitimate reasons. he will respect the
letter and spirit OF reform law,
and that o n,political officers who have
been honest and efficient in the discharge
of their duty, and who have not misused
their positions for party or political ends,
will not be arbitrarily dismissed for
political reasons. OF course, / have no
authority to speak for Mr.. Cleveland. My
faith is founded on the sole knowledge OF
his character and convictions. Truly
yours, GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.

ST. LOUIS Nov. ia large number OF
Mormons were at the Union depot this
morning, who bad arrived from Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. They were on their way to
Colorado. The crowd was promiscuous,
n in which the fashionably dressed mixed
freely with those who were clad in
clothes which were shabby. Nearly all
the women of the party carried babies in
their arms and numerous other young ones
hung to their mothers apron strings.
Elder Roberts. one Of the party, says the
reason why the Mormons were changing
their settlement was because Colorado and
Utah offered more advantages to the peo-
pie OF their sect. The Mormons have
established q permanent settlement in Col
orado, and no doubt a great number OF
those who belong to that sect will follow
the present emigrants. In fact, from
Elder Roberts conversation, it looked as If
there was going to be a genuine influx Of
Mormons into Colorado.
