WASHINGTON JAM 30.-President-elect Cleve
land has begun sending for men in Congress to
| come to him in New York. He expects to re-
| ceive the advice of as many leading men in his
party during the next ten days as possible.
Then he will write out his inaugural address and
get his personal affairs ready for his departure
| for Washington. He hopes to have his Cabinet
selected before he leaves New York city for Buff
falo to pack his trunks. That will be not later
than fortnight hence. was told by gentle
man to-day who has been requested to go to Mr..
Cleveland, that these trips to him are not for the
purpose of selecting suggesting Cabinet
officers, but to exchange ideas on the general
policy of the party.
1t is stated that Mr.. Cleveland feels more con-
Germ about the legislation that may be effected
by Congress during the next four weeks, and
what he is to say in his inaugural remarks. than
he does about who shall be in his Cabinet It is
understood pretty we'll by Mr.. Randall in the
House and Mr. Bayard in the Senate what Mr.
Cleveland wants and what he does not want in
the way of legislation at this session. He has
consulted both of them and expressed his desires
He wants only the appropriations. AS intimated
in these dispatches he does not want to be hamp
cred with any of the treaties
A good deal of pleasure is expressed by Dem
ocratic leaders at the way Mr.. Cleveland is con-
Quoting himself at this time They are much
gratifed that he should be so anxious to consult
them, and presage his success as President
already. Of course, there is much confectionery
IN this However, those who have returned
from New York, where they have talked to the
new Executive, express the belief that he is
seeking only the best interests of the party in
making up his cabinet and policy. They point
to the actions of other men who have been
elected President and delare that none have had
SO few personal interests in preparing for occu-
pancy of the White House.
From accounts received it is true that the
Presidentelect has few enemies to punish or
friends to reward in the work that lies before
him. The contentious springing up are those of
factions worked up outside of his personal in
fiuence. Everyone predicts that there will be
surprises in the material Mr.. Cleveland will Sc
lect for his Cabinet He is said to desire above
all things to keep clear of cliques and fights, and
although he wants to select men of national rep.
utaton, he will, it is believed call some who are
unknown to political fame. His friends think
the Cabinet will be made known several DAYS
before inauguration so that if the criticisms
passed upon it necessitate changes from any
cause they can be made in time to have meet
ing of the Cabinet not later than Tuesday, the
10th
