GROVER CLEVELAND.
HIS rECCLIaETrilS PLEASANTLY DE-
sCEIBED.

a Washington correspondent of
the Indianapolis journal tRepnb-
hcaM, gives the following i'll refer
ence to President elect Cleveland:
Unless | am greatly mistaken
in human nature in general, and
Grover Cleveland in particular,
there will be a lot of people disap-
pointed in this city on the 4th of
March, observed a brotaer OF Sec
retary Post, of the Democratic Con-
gressiohai Committee. 81 know
Grover Cleveland personally and
well, and if lie rides i'll carriage
at the head of procession from
the Capitol TO the White House,
after the Inauguration, l shall be
very much surprised. He Is one Of
the plainest men ever saw. He
doesn't believe III display, in the
first place, and he wouldn't want to
be bored with such an affair if he
did No. he is not cranky; he is a
plain man-that's it. About the
Executive Mansion, in Albany, he
lives like farmer l have often
seen him around there. He always
prefers walking from the depot to
the Observation-Disclosures in return
ing home. He seldom rides to a
theater OF anywhere about town.
There are no secretive qualities
about him. Any and everything
he does he thinks is all right, and
he doesn't care to keep it secret,
and SO he makes it public. if there
are any circumstances connected
with it calling for publicity. l was
not surpr Sod to hear the Maria
HaIpin story. l venture that he
never tried to cover that up"
Somebody says he is stubborn"
[ suggested.
"Well. if he isn't, = never saw an
obstinate man." laughingly replied
Alr. Post. ''He is said TO do Just
the contrary to popular clamor, if
he can find anything to Justify him
in SO doing"
He wont make removals from
office to CRAFTY the party, then"
Not much. Ii Il man wants him
to let him remain i'll Office, he had
better not bother him much; aud
if q ham wants al appointment, he
would do well to make his request
properly. He is not the man who
would make changes just for the
novelty Of making changes; neither
would he remove faithful officer,
if he knew it, to appease public
clamor. He wonld, however. re-
move public officer if he didn't
do his work well, aud if he didn't
work long"
Industrious Grover, then?"
"He works more hours a day
than any public officer I ever saw,
He viii be at bis desk by I or s
o'clock every morning, when be
gets into the White House, and II
his days work is not dune at six
O'Clock in the evening, lie will stay
and complete it, if 1t takes him all
night. This kind of work he will
require of his subordinates. You
will find him at the White House
il July aud August. hopping the
Precipitation from his face, and at
work. You will find him there
during the holidays-at all times
he will be there at work, and every.
body who has legitimate business
with him can get to see him and
talk to him as though he were al
ordinary everyday man of business.
"He will inausurate a new re-
gilne, eh?'
Exactly that I mean. He viii
go back to the days of Thomas JEFF.
ferson in the way he will conduct
his work and himself. l predic,
there will be dismiss lis from ser.
vice pretty frequently, and the rea.
son assigned viii be negligence o.
duty. He will make everybod,
work. But. as I was about saying
he will disappoint the people when
he is inangurated. 1t is my i'm,
preston that he viii go to the Cap.
itol by some roundabout way, and
as soon as the ceremony Is ovel
and he has said his little piece he
will hurry to the White House. He
won't ride in the gorgeous carriage
driven tandem, maybe. as usual
1 wouldn't be surprised to see him
walk. If he doesn't it will be be.
cause he is advised not to do so.
Grover Cleveland knows little Of
public men OF public life, except Us
he has read it. He has n horror
for display, and will not entertain
much when he is occupant of the
White House.
