A Washington special TO the World says;
The report that Mr. Cleveland had deter
mined 10 settle at Orange Y. j., after the
4th OF March has some foundation, but not
much. "The only foundation / can think
OF for that story said Colonel Lamont to the
World correspondent tonight, ais that
shortly after the election, at ore ~ the pub
lie receptions which the President holds
three times n week, there was an entbusi lstic
New Jerseyman among the callers and he re-
marked 80 the President that there was no
better place IN the world 10 lIye.in than
New jersey. and a. that state had yindlcated
her Democracy IN such 6ne style at The cleo
ton, the President very naturally replied
that he would Ike 10 live In New Jersey
very much indeed.
THE incident was reported IN The news
papers 40 the time, snd ever since the White
H0u.e has been flooded with maps and
plates, onI highy-colored pictures and real
estate pros pectuses, and offers OF all sorts OF
residences, both city and suburban, ranging
IN rank from cottages to palaces, and all IN
The gallant little Democratic State OF New
Jersey. But all the same, the President
has not yet made NJ bis mind 10 reside for
the future st Orange, \. j., or anywhere
else in New jersey. or any other state. As
a matter Of fact, think the President has
thought very little yet about a future resi-
dence. lean assure you that II seems to
ne other people are thinking great deal
more about the matter than the President
IT," Secretary Whitney, when asked by
the World correspondent tonight II he
could throw any light upon The probable
future address NJ Sir. Cleveland, said: 81
