Private Secretary Phillips Opinion.

TURNS FAVOR CLEVELAND AND THAT CLEVELAND
WILL REGARD THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Mr.. F. ]. Phillips, the Presidents private secre-
tary. returned from New York last night. He re-
ports the excitement in that city yesterday as In
describable- Both sides were claiming victory but
the democrats with much the more confidence
"The victory cannot be determined absolutely until
the count by the official board of canvaSserS" said
Mr.. Phillips, "and in my opinion 1t will then be de-
term1ned absolutely without question The chances
appear to be In favor OF the democrats and the de-
lection OF mistakes in the returns seems to be the
only hope OF the republicans. II the Official count
gives the state to the republicans upon such
the democrats cannot complain of injustice for the
board is democratic three to one, and they can
surely see that everything Is fair. II the board
gives the state to Cleveland the republicans cannot
complain because the prima facle returns are EVIL
IDENTIFY In his favor The matter will be settled
without difficulty"
"Do you think wholesale discharge OF clerks
would follow If Cleveland were installed In the
White House 2" asked THE STAR man.
mo. think not OF course there would be a
good many changes In the prominent Offices, but
don't think there would be any wholesale slaugh-
ter OF clerks. OF course great pressure would be
brought to bear upon Cleveland. and he probably
could not Withstand 1t entirely. Changes would be
made gradually where they could be made with
safety but the civil service rules would not be dis
regarded entirely"
