received share. The amount individuals
received varies from S25 to $4,000. In no

CLEVELAND TALKS.

In an interview yesterday morning
President Cleveland said that he had
no regrets for any act of his administra-

revenue reduction had lost him many
votes. He states, however, that he be-
lieves in the principle, and would fol-
low the dictates of his convictions, re.
gardless of consequences.
He attributes his defeat to no one in
particular, and says that Hill and Tam
many Hall treated him with perfect
fairness, and has no fault to find at
oil.
Cleveland is one of the few men in
this nation who would "rather be right
thar to bo President" He il one of
