Cleveland Predicts Prosperity.

BOSTON, Nov. 22.-In the course OF
an interview with a representative of a
Boston paper to-day, President-elect
Cleveland, speaking of the business and
manufacturing interests of the country,
and the effect of a change in the ad-
ministration on these interests said:
at goes without saying that the Demo-
cratic party is made up of merchants,
business and working men, and every
body certainly desires good times and
realizes that all people must be prosper
GUS. To secure that result we have fifty
five million people, almost boundless
resources, hundreds of the strongest
financial institutions in the world,
thousands of enterprising merchants,
the most skillful manufacturers and the
most intelligent farmers and working
men on the face of the earth. Now
surely country with these characters
tics has every qualification for solid
government prosperity. 1t will be my
aim and the aim of all those associated
with me at Washington to give the
people of the United States safe and
economical and conservative govern
ment. The fact that so many business
men, manufacturers and workingmen
voted with the Democratic party at this
election, shows that they were not
afraid of a change in the administration.
The Democratic party in its Chicago
platform meant what it said and said
what it meant, and will carry the pro-
visions of that platform which relate to
the business interests of the country
into effect, the most important thing is
to restore confidence and a determina-
ton to forget partisan heat and excite
ment and devote our lives to those
things which lead to the substantial
welfare of our country and all of its
people. In this work every man should
feel that he has a part to perform.
