WASHINGTON, May 5.-Senator' Voor-
hees in an interview to-day, talks of the
administration in this strain, and assumes
to believe that everything will yet come all
right. He said: 1.-The distribution of pat
ronage is not proper subject upon which
to break with an administration. Dis
honesty in office, or the administration of
government upon false principles of legis-
lation, can alone justify leader of party
in rushing into opposition. 1t is, in my
opinion, highly impolitic for any one who
fails to get an Office to cry out that the
party is lost, and then fall to railing against
the administration. Mr.. Cleveland has
not given me all l asked for by any means.
For instance, was very anxious that Mr..
Mcdonald should be appointed to the cabi-
net, and worked hard to secure that re-
suit, but
TOLD MIR. CLEVELAND
that, if after maturely considering all I had
said upon the subject he did not see his
way to act in harmony with our Indiana
views and desires, it would not be fatal to
u.s. It is MI. Cleveland's administration,
not mine. 1t is for him to look on every
side, and perhaps his appointments are
wiser than those might suggest to him. To
men who are before thecountry accusing the
administration of moving slowly, it ought to
be sufficient answer that the Democratic
party takes possession OF government,
which has been for twenty-five years in the
hands of the Republicans, and that the SEN
ate is still Republican. If the administra-
ton went to work with reckless rapidity in
| making changes, the members of it would
prove thereby their unftness for their places.
| refuse to discuss any proposition as that
Mr.. Cleveland may prove disloyal to his
party or principles upon which he was
elected. My confidence in his integrity is
absolute. A more conscientious president
in his sense of duty never crossed the thresh-
| hold of
THE WHITE HOUSE.
The personnel of the cabinet he has chosen
is also remarkably high. It is not well
selected in my judgment, from geo.
graphical point of view. Perhaps, / do not
| think that the Northwest was sufficiently
recognized, and there was no apparent ne
cessty for taking two members from New
York, but better men than Secretaries
Manning and Whitney, individually, could
| not be found. The cabinet stands in marked
| contrast to some we have recently had. 1t
| is not conceivable that these men will fail
to discharge their obligations to the Demo-
cratic party. 1 believe very firmly that the
president and his advisers should admins
ter the government through the hand of
| their
POLITICAL FRIENDS,
and I believe further that they are going to
do it. If read Alright the signs Of the
times this will be Democratic administra-
ton, but I, as stickler for this result, say
| that the administration is proceeding to that
end with proper circumspection and does
not deserve that any adherent should turn
into an acrimonious critic. In what have
said I have intended no reference to, or
criticism of, Senator Eustis. Personally we
are very friendly, and he is man of high
character and decided ability"
