Col. Belo, of, the Galveston News, was
q guest ut the Prospect House on the
Upper Saramac Lake when President
Cleveland was there. On the 9th oil
September the News published letter
from the Adirondacks, dated Sept. 4,
from which the following paragraphs
are taken:
President Cleveland is making arrange
ments to leave here tomorrow. During
his STAY i'm the Adirondacks every per
son he came in contact with became his
friend He is simple and natural IN his
manners and actions, improves on ac-
quaintance, and has method peculiar
ly his own for making and holding
friends The Adirondack guides, who
are by no means q heavenly set of men,
have become much attached to him.

part of the chores around camp, and that
he required no more attention than any

spoilsmen of his own party, he is ready
,o meet the issue II is his belief that
the worst elements of both the creat par
ties will eventually unite to oppose him,
and that the better elements of all par
ties will sustain him. 1t is his idea that
the great majority of the people are not
interested in the offices beyond seeing
them properly administered by honest
and capable men. The great ma ajorty,

form, and decent republicans will join
the ma iority.of the democratic party in
helping him to give the country an hon
