cLEvELAND's WORK.

a correspondent of the New York
World has interviewed Senator Rayard
regarding the coming administration
What the Senator says is of interest &c
the country, from the fact that he
seems to be one of the very few men
who have the confidence of the Presi.
dent-elect. Bayard speaks in his usual
frank, manly way, and with his
accustomed good sense. There was no
enthusiasm nor senseless jubilation
about his utterances. 1t is no easy task
that Mr.. Cleveland has before him to
reform the f'heritage of great evils" left
by the Republican party, but labor
that is magnificent only in the immen-
sity of its proportions. Great industry.
cool head and a patient temper are
the essentials necessary to lthe success
full performance of the duties that await
the incoming President. The Senator
thinks Mr.. Cleveland enjoys in large
degree all these qualifications, and that
he viii be able to perform the work in a
manner that will be satisfactory to the
country, though the publication will
necessarily be slow. Bayard says the
ante-election promises will all be full
flied literally and that the reforms will
assuredly be brought about. A signifi
cantand encouraging part of the Sena-
tor'sGtterances is as follows, the matter
being of interest generally when it is re-
nembered that Bayard and Cleveland |
hold such close relations, and that the dis
tinguished Senator will in all probability /
be given the chief place in the Presi-
dents Cabinet. Bayard was asked if
he thought Cleveland's would be bust
ness administration, and replied as
follows the answer outlining what the
country may expect from Cleveland:
Most certainly 1 do. The incoming
administration, Democratic or whateverd
you may call it, will be confronted with
the gravest difficulties. The Republi-
evils. They have disposed of nothing. /
They have put off and put off. Their
policy has been one of uninterrupted
postponement. They have not removed
the outrageous wrongs of the tariff.
They have done nothing for American
shipping. They have left US the wreck
of a navy. The new administration must
to dispose of the problems
arising out of this conditioner things.
How it shall proceed is a momentous
question. If it is to be controlled by
political tyranny such as that which
has held sway in recent years it will 1
soon sink and go to rum, and it ought I
to. Unless it is 20 occupy higher
ground in this respect than those ad- {
that have recently pre- I

things have been done. have seen
the infamies of partisan supremacy c
and greed. If l rightly interpret the r
influence by which Mr.. Cleveland was I
elected. be comes here freeefrom en-
barrassing obligations, and can adopt /
such a policy as he in his own heart a
and conscience and good Judgment +
may hold to be best for the whole
country. His election was not so much
a party triumph as triumph of honesty
and reform. He was not elected by
Democrats alone. The 2o0, 600 majority
he received when he was elected r
Governor of New York was made ND a
largely of Republicans. There is q y
certain powerful and well defined pub
lie sentiment to which he owes allegi- d
ance, and if he is faithful to the prompt d
ings of that sentiment he will not sub u
init to the dictations of the politicians. =
