QUirsr, interviewed on his recent visit to the
presIdent-elect, SAYS: II called on Gov.
Cleveland last sunday at Albany and spent
about two hours with the gentleman at the
executive mansion. Nearly every topic Of
the day was talked about by US, and, Of
course, politics was not ignored. We dis
eussed wha. the Democrats would do, their
prospects and their hopes. / want to tell
you that Mr.. Cleveland is thoroughly in line
with his party, aud, as far as can find out.
proposes to act with his party. He
knows that he was elected by Democrats
and independent votes, and / believe
thoroughly understands the disposition and
feeling of the people of both parties. He will
make good president, and will be the pres
ident under all circumstances He will not
feel the need Of anyone to lean on as presi-
dent any more than while holding the Office
Cleveland was most distinct about one thing.
He told me he had not said to any man that
he should be in the cabinet or be a member
Of his presidential family. He said he was
glad TO meet representatives Of
all shades of politics. He was
glad 10 become acquainted with
the leaders Of the Democratic party, aud be
was glad to get information from any and
every source"
With regard to the report that he wished
cabinet position for himself, Mr.. Mclean
says there is nothing in that at all. He
added:
This was not the first interview I had
with Mr.. Cleveland. dined with him only
seven days before the election, and the gen
tleman has always been most agreeable to
me- Ole seems to be a man of reserve, ac-
eessible at all times and most agreeable.
He understands that it was the in
tention Of the Democrats who
rallied at Chicago and gave
him the nomination that he should be the
president and he is going to be the presi-
dent can tell you one thing. / don't
believe Mr., Cleveland will permit any man
TO 90 into his cabinet to organize a presi-
dental boom for himself for 1888. He saws
1t will be his ambition 10 do the greatest good
to the greatest number Of people, which pre-
cludes the idea Of individual advancement
at his cost
Mr.. Mclean added as his private belief
that Mr. Garland, Mr.. Bayard, Mr.. Villas, of
Wisconsin, and Mr.. Whitney, of New York,
would all be members of Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet.
THE SPANISH TREATY.
Advocates of the Spanish treaty confidently
count upon forty-two out Of the seventy-six
votes in the senate for ratification. and vet
1t is much easier 20 find senator's who EXPRESS
themselves frankly as opposed than it is to
discover those committed TO the proposition
Senator Logan was seen at his residence. on
Iowa circle, and asked about his position.
he replied, II don't think 1t is wise
treaty" He went on to explain that he
thought that this country gave away too much
in the provisions as they now stand. The
feature upon which he dwelt with more
emphasis than either sugar or tobacco was
The admission Of iron ore. The treaty, he
argued, would interfere seriously with pro-
duetion in this country. 1t would force the
American miner into competition with Span
ISL labor, remunerated at 10 cents day, and
with the peou system of Cuba. Senator
Dolph, Of Oregon, sat by during the CONVEX
sation, but, in reply to a question, said he
had not given the treaty sufficient thought to
feel willing to express his opinion as vet.
As regards the Nicaraguau treaty.
Senator Logan said he was in favor OF
ratification. He regarded the concessions
made to the United States as very desirable.
Senator Dolph stated that the canal project
would receive hearty endorsement from the
Pacific coast people A report came from
New York to the effect that a recent steamer
from Matanzas brought lobbists and con-
siderable sum Of money raised in Cuba to be
used in furthering the ratification of
the treaty. It is represented that
the merchants Of Havana are
exceedingly anxious to see the provisions
got into effect, while the commercial inter
ests of Spain proper are alarmed at the
prospect and desire the defeat of the negO-
iatiOns, being fearful Of the loss Of West
Indian trade as the result of the ratification.
Feeling that something must be done to
maintain the hold on Cuba, Minister Foster
says we must furnish conditions which make
the treaty possible on the part of the Spanish
government
