POLITICAL NOTES.

personal friend Of President elect Cleve-
lAnd, which says Governor Cleveland,
like every sensible New York man Of the
psrty, believes that the war was ended
20 years ago. he regards its issues as
aettled, and the whole tenor OF the
immsnss number Of congrAtulatory letters
he has reosived from the south In the
last few days would justify him in
assuming that the best men in the south
believed the war issues settled also.
Ga our national banking sy tenn he
holds the same opinions that every SEN
siblo New York banker Of prominence
holds.
On the tariff question, from all that is
known Of his opinion, l Judge he stands
with President Arthur, Secretary Hugh
MoCulloeh, Secretary Gresham, the late
Secretary Folger and Comptroller Knox.
He believes that the revenues OF the
government are too large. H. is opposed
to r moving duties on whieky and to-
baoco as long "a the necessarles Of life
are taxed. He Is conservative in the ex-
treme, as his course toward legislation
proves.
Of one thing you may rest assured
Oar Presidenl-eleOt is . plain, honest,
high. minded gentleman. HIS society 10
cultivated here by our very best citizens,
without regard TO their political belief.
He Ia mUdeat, una5srmlng gentleman,
aud his mode OF life aud industr GUS at
tention to the duties Of his office have
won him hosts Of friends amongst our
best people since he became resident Of
Albany, aud we shall part with him with
deep regret. The ADMINISTRATION Of our
government during the next four yeas
will be conducted upon a high plane.
Honesty and reform are our watohwords,
aud you may rely upon the government
being administered to that end, in SO far
as 1t Is In the power Of our honest
President to do go.
