PHILADELPHIA, Nov. pam Albany, N.
Y, special to the Times says: President
elect Cleveland said to q correspondent yes.
terday regarding the coming adm inistration:
ssNs harm shall come to any business inter-
est, rs the result Of administrative policy, 80
long as l am President. intend to surround
myself with the best aud brsadest minds in
the party, and then lend all my energies to.
ward making an administration that shall at
least assure to every element that the trans
fer Of executive control from one party to
another does not mean any serious disturb
ance Of existing conditions" Referring to
the present feeling of unrest In business cir
els, Cleveland said: at Is almost incredi-
BILE to me that there should be any feeling of
uncertainty whatever As to the future, so far
as the result Of the recent election is con-
cerned. Those who are to succeed to power
by the will Of the people, as recently ex-
pressed, are as much interested In the future
Of the United States IS those who yield IL.
They also have an equal stake In the pros
perity and advancement Of the country.
They are as thoroughly committed to the
maintenance Of values, aud as earnestly anx-
ious for sterling prosperity as their oppo-
nents. Naturally they will be careful about
pronouncing for a policy inimical- to
the interests of the very class
which, more than any other, has thus hon
ored US with its confidence. Coming into
power after so long an absence, the party
ought and will, so fer as the executive is
concerned, bring liberal views and good i'm
pulses into control Of the government. 1t
would be unnatural for the party not 10 be
actuated by desire to continue in power by
demonstrating that It deserves the highest
confidence Of the people. This 1t could not
do If 1t would unsettle business and make q
government. This is the view take Of the
proper position for . party just assuming
| control of the country in crisis like this,
and the standard by which shall be guided
while in the Presidential Office. If follow
1t, hope for and expee, fair and honest
response from the Republicans with whom
may have relations as we'll a. the hearty sup
port Of my own party, l feel, Of course that
I have great responsibility, and approach
1t with . feeling Of more or less anxiety.
While know that there Is no reason what
ever for this feeling Of rsstlessness, North or
South, cannot but realize that all minds do
not see things In the same light. What may
seem of no moment to me may be of great
consequence to another. The Democratic
party and its servants are as much commit.
ted 10 q careful policy, upon economic quss
tions. as their opponents, and they will be as
careful to act for the best interests of the
country as the Republicans would, had they
been successful. assume, therefore, that
whatever nervousness there Is now apparent,
comes simply from the disturbance of long
lease Of power, and that after the irritation
growing out of defeat has passed of, there
will be . better feeling all around, and =
willingness to give the new man the fair,
honest chance that Is desired. Less would
not be fair TO the incoming administration"
ANOTHER INTERVIEW.
BosToN, Nov. o. In the course of an in
terview with the representative Of Boston
journal to-day. the President elect, speaking
Of the business and manufacturing interests
of the country, and the effect of the change
Of administration on these interests, said
SIT 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 peo-
pie must be prosperous to insure that result.
We have fifty. five million people, almost
boundless resources, hundreds of the strong
est financial institutions in the world, thous-
ands of enterprising merchants, the most
skillful manufacturers and most intelligent
farmers and workingmen on the face of the
earth. Now, surely, country with these
characteristics has every qualification for
~S"o' fSi""'oh' PiooPOihy' Ii Will Uo 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 q safe,
economical and conservative government.
The fact that so many btsiness men, manu-
facturers and workingmen voted with the
Democratic party In this election shows that |
they were not afraid Of change in admins
tration. The Democratic party, In Its Chi
caso platform. meant what 1t said, and said |
what 1t meant, ard will carry the provisions
Of that platform which relate to the business
interests Of the country into effect. The
most important thing is restoration of con-
ddencs and determination to forge. parti-
'an heat and excitement, and devote eur
lives TO things which tend to the substantial
welfare Of the country and Of all of its peo-
pie, aud in this work every man should feel
hat he has part to perform"
