President CIeyeIand's Policy.
Col. Belo, OF the Galveston CTexas) NeWs. was
a guest at the Prospect house, on the Upper
Saranac Lake, when President Cleveland was
there. Under date Of September 4 Col Belo
wrote as follows TO his paper.
"In conversation with his friends here the
President expressed himself unreservedIy as
determined 10 pursue the line marked out az
the beginning of his administration. He said
TO falter now would be suicidal, and recognizing
the fact that he is bound 10 antagonize the

the local politics of the states and all talk about

the President, or that Edward Cooper is being
pushed in New York for the same purpose, IL
