THE COMING ADMINISTRATION.

Cleveland Determined to Protect Ill Interests
to the Best of His Ability.
The Albany correspondent of the Philadel-
ph!a Times reports Governor Cleveland as
using the following language touching the
policy that will guide the administration after
March 4th: mo harm shall come to any bust
ness interest as a result of the administrative
power as long as 7 am president. intend to
surround myself with the best and broadcast
minds in the party, and then bend all my en-
ergies toward making an administration that
fer of executive contro from one party to an
other does not mean any serious disturbance
of existing condi ions. 1t is almost incredible
that there should be any feeling of uncertain
ty whatever as to the future, so far as the re-
cent result of the election is concerned. Those
who are to succeed to power by the will of the
people. as recently expressed: are as much in
terested in the future of the United States as
they who WELD it. They also have an equal
stake in the prosperity and advancement Of
the country. They are as thoroughly COM
mitted to the maintenance of values and as
earnestly anxious for sterling business pros
perity as their opponents. Naturally they
will be careful about pronouncing for policy
fnimical to the interests of the very class
which, more than eny other has thus honored
them with its confidence. Coming into power
after so long an absence, the party ought. and
will SO far as the executive is concerned. bring
liberal views and good impulses into control
of the government. 1t would be unnatural
for the party not to be actuated by desire to
continue in power by demonstrating that it
deserves the highest confidence of the people.
This it cannot do if it would unsettle business
and make factfous war upon well conceived
plans of government. This is the view take
of the proper position for the party just as
summing control of the country in crisis like
this, and the standard by which l shall be
guided while in the presidential Office. If I
and honest response from the republicans
with whom / may have relations, as well
as the hearty support of my own party.
I feel, of course, have great responsibilities.
and approach them with feeling of M re or
less anxiety. While know there is no reason
whatever for this feeling of Testlessness north
or south. cannot but realize that all minds DO
not see things in the same light. What may
seem of no moment to one may be of great
consequence to another. The democratic
party and its servants are as much committed
to careful policy upon economic questions
as their opponents. and they will be as careful
to act for the best interests of the country
the republicans would had they been success
full. l assume, therefore, that whatever of
nervousness is now apparent comes simply
from the disturb ance of the long lease of
power and that whenever the irritation grow
ing out of defeat, has passed off, there will be
better feeling all around and willingness
to give the new men fair and honest chance.
That is all that is desired and less would not
be fair to the incoming administration"
In the course of an interview with repre-.
sentative of Boston paper, President-elect
Cleveland, speaking of the business and manu-
featuring interests, said: at goes without
saying that the democratic party is made up
of merchants, business men and wOrkingmen,
and everybody certainly desires good times
and realizes that all the people must be pros
porous to ensure that result. We have fifty
five million people, almost boundless re.
sources, hundreds Of the strongest financial
institutions in the world, thousands of enter
prisng merchants. the most skillful manufac-
turers, and the most intelligent farmers and
workingmen on the face of the earth. Now,
surely, country with these characteristics
has every qualification for solid and perma-
nent prosperity. 1t will be my aim and the
aim of all associated with me in the conduct
of affairs at Washington, to give the people
of the United States a safe, economical and
conservative government. The fact that SO
many business men and manufacturers and
workingmen voted with the democratic party
this election shows that they were not afraid
of change in the administration. The demo-
cratic party, In its Chicago platform, meant
what it said. and said what it meant, and will
carry the provisions Of that platform which
relate to the business interests of the country
into effect. The most important thing Is to
restore confidence and determination to for
get partisan heat and excitement, and devote
our lives to things which tend to substantiate
the welfare of the country and all of its peo-
pie. In this work every man should feel he
has part to perform.
