.Nesos, dated the 18th:
"Tvas proud to sit at the head Of such q body
of men," said President Cleveland in speaking
of the first meeting Of his Cabinet :" believed
before that had made excellent selections for
nv Cabinet. but when / saw them gathered
around the Cabinet table was perfectly salts
fed" He has a right 10 be. The personnel OF
this administration is admirable ! do not need
to dwell upon Its head. Having talked with him
l can only report wha, knew before from the
reports OF others that he is q gentleman in the
highest sense of that words simple, natural
dignified, brave, frank, independent man The
only men or women in Washington who believe
NOWADAYS IN the man oil straw labeled Cleveland
which the Republicans set up during last year
campaign-a thick necked, heavy-headed, iai-
witted chump. without breeding cultivation or
any reteeming personal quality, are the handful
OF lrreconcilables gathered i'll Blanes house
every evening 10 that much disgruntied his
toran rnaw his fingers in his batfied rage
Blanes only purpose in life now seems to be to
emtarrass Cleveland's administration. Ii any
chance offers to that end he will embrace il
eagerly.
TIE THOUGHT HE SAW SUCH A CHANCE
when the Cabinet were nominated. 1t was he
who suggested to Riddeberger that he oppose
Bavard But he soon saw that that was ridic
ulous fasco and so called R'ddleberger back
Now he is waiting for another opportunity, real
or seeming Meanwhile he can only mutter and
curse at the new administration ii rolls past
HIM in success. Every one who has ever known
Cleveland has the same opinion as l. He is a
great man in some respects probably the great
est man in the public life of the day, fer he is not
dwarfed by any man in Washington, in his Cabi-
net or out of il He is master OF himself He is
conservative yet progressive. He is sincere and
honest. He cannot he cajoled or buldozed He
will move right forward along the lines which re
considers right regardless Of consequences, per
sonal and political need mol tell you that he
is a surprise; yes, bitter disap. continent TO
many politicians. Cleveland is not dependent
upon his Cabinet II necessary he could dis
miss every member of it and guide the govern
ment himself along the pathway OF success.

their equanmiiy when they examined the mo-
tlves which prompted him to decline.

His friends once used his name for the United
States Senalorship when Barkesdale Singleton

was that George got the caucus nomination.
