CLEVELAND INTERVIEWED.
He Expresses His Views of Business
Progress as Pertains TO His
Future Administrator.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. %.


The Press, today, publishes a report of the
conversation heard in Albany, yesterday, be-
tween Gov. Cleveland and one oi its eorre-
spondents. Among other things MIR. Cleve-
land said; ''No harm shall come TO any
business interests. as the result of admins
tration policy. So long as | am President,
intend to surround myself with the best and
proudest minds IN the party, and then bend
all my energies toward making an admins
trati0n that shall at least assure every eleRent,
that transfer of the executive control from
one party to another, does not mean any Sc
rious disturbance of the existing conditions,
Ii is almost incredible TO me that there should
be any feeling of-1ncertsinty whatever. as TO
the future, SO far as the result of the recent
election is concerned Those VINO are to
succeed TO power, by the will of the people
as recently expressed, are rs much interested
in the future of the United States as those
who yield it. They also have an equal stake
in the prosperity and advancement Of the
country. They are as thoroughly committed
to maintenance OF the values and as earn
estly anxious for sterling business prosperity
as their opponents. Naturally ehey will be
careful about pronounciag for policy against
the interests of the very class. which more
than any other, has thus honored us with it:
confidence. Coming into power, after 40 Ions
an absence, the party ought and will, SO fal
as the executive is concerned, bring liberia
views and good impulses inte the control o.
the government. 1t would be unnatural fol
the party not to be actusted by a desire to
continue in power, by demonstrating that i
deserved the highest confidence of the people
This it cannot do, if it would unsettle bust
ness and made factions of war upon the vel
conceived pleas of the government. This il
the view take Of the proper position for
party Just assuming the control of the country
in a crisis like this, and the standard by which
shall be guided while in the Presidents
Office. If follow it, l hope for, and expec
fair and honest response from the republi
cans, with whom | may have relations, a
well as the hearty support of my own party.

Deep Interest in the Affair
IN Chicago.

The contest 10 the sixth senatorial districts
between LeemaB, rep and Brand. dem, ie
exciting unusual interest. As upon the issue
depends the selection OF u. ). Senator lie
succeed Logan. In the second precinct Of tho
18TH ward the police returus gave Leeman ~ ?
and Brand 214. The returns to the canvassins
board give Leeman 220 and Brand 474, thuf
making a ckaaxe of 400 votes in favor of
Brand and giving him majority of ten.
Figures in the tally sheet seemed to be orig
mai figures, showing no sign of erasure, but
figures in the roll book appeared TO have
originally stood as 10 the returns of the police
but subsequently, erased and made to cores
pond with the tally sheets. On behalf of
Brand II was stated the original entry in the
poll book was a clerical error. On behalf of
Leeman who claimed the returns had been
tamperrd with, lt shown that in this
precinct the republican candidates for presi-
dent and governor received 359 and 40S votes
respectively, while the democratic candidates
for those Offices received 238 and 2S7 and it
was argued that it was impossible that such a
large falling oil should have occurred in his
(Leeman's) vote. The question of calling on
judges to appear and testify and of the power
OF the canVasslng board to 60 iHto the matter
has been under consideration since yesterday
and the decision is .et down for this after
noon.

ial contest, in which there have been allega-
tons of fraud, an application was made this
morning before Judge Blodgett of the United
States district court for attachment to compel
the county clerk to go before the federal
grand jury with ballots and poll list. This
the court declined to do, but entered an order
directing the county clerk to show cause on
Monday next why an attachment shonld no,
issue. The county board of canvassers this
afternoon Gecded that it could not go behind
the returns ana that the vote would nave tu
stand as returned, giving Brand a seat in the
Stale Senate and allowing the democrats a
majority IN both houses, leaving the Senate
itself to decide to the question of fraud in
the returns. Whether the proceedings in the
federal court have any bearing on the case as
it STANDS is not known. The returns will
probably go to the State capitol tonight.
CHICAGO, Nov. %.
a largely attended mass meeting was neld

POSTAL AFFAIRS.
AnnnaI Report of FIRST Assistant Post
master General MARI.

WAsHINGTON, Nov. %,
In his annual report to the postmaster gen.
eral, Acting First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Jas. II. Marr says the most essential
feature was a steady growth and develope-
ment. The free delivery division has accom-
plished all that could be expected, consider
ing the amount appropriated for the service
vet there still remain several offices which
ars entitled under law to its benefits but to
which the service cannot be extended until
after an appropriation for the purpose shall
have been made. The number of postoffices
established during the year was 34l4, an
increase of l5l over the preceding year. The
number discontinued was 1866, decrease of
36l, making net increase of 522. The
whole number of postoffices in June, 1884,
was 50,0l7, an increase of PISA. The number
filled by presidential appointment was 2323,
and the number filled by appointment by the
postmaster general was 1864.
Mr.. Marr advises that the law governing
the establishment of the free delivery system
be so changed as to authorize its extension
to places of 10000 inhabitants, provided the
postal revenue for the preceding fiscal year
at such place amounts to $4,000; also that
in case of several postotfices in the same city
or place, the revenues from all the offices
NAV be aggregated and taken as the standard,
emitting such phase to the system provided it
has the required population. l would also
call attention, he says in conclusion, to a
class of towns in the more densely settled
portion of the country within short distance
of one another, each with separate postoffice
which cannot be reached bv the law as it now
stands having in aggregate the required pop
uIaton and revenue, but none of which the
stage reaches the requirements of law. viz
2000 population and $4,000 postal revenue.
The law should be so changed as to allow of
the aggregation of the population and postal
revenues of those towns, and when they meet
the requirements of population and revenues
this system should be extended.
