Prominent Men N Letter-WYiters.
From the New York Tribune.
The methods OF prominent men In the matter OF
correspondence are varied. President Cleveland Is
said to answer every letter he receives before
twenty-four hours roll by. 1t may be turned over
TO his secretary or clerk, but an answer OF some
kind is always sent by an early return mail He
insists, TOO, on careful fling OF letters, and from
these flies many a prominent democrat, who was
begging for an office three years ago, but has
since In his disappointment howled aud kicked
about the Administration, has received the hint
that the means exist TO expose him unless he
gets into line. The result is that he gen.
orally stalls In" Colonel Ingerson has been
known to advise his friends to throw their
letters into a basket and let them remain for
three weeks, when they would answer themselves
with occasional exceptions to prove the rule
General Harrison Is as careful and punctilious In
replying 10 letters as Mr. Cley Gland. adopting the
OF letter-writing, that every letter should have

TO write some heated lie tiers In his day. which have
found their way into print, and he Is said TO have

nation. HIS frank admission that he has fire.
all such epistles. There is something about a
mans candid admission OF his common lot In the
battery that has been trained against him. sena-
tor Quay attends to most OF his correspondence as
chairman OF the republican national committee
through q secretary, but his more important
letters he dictates personally, and not nfreQuenly
writes himself. He believes Ia Careful detail work.
and his clerks and photographers are trained TO
take ana execute orders like soldiers
Letter-writtng through stenographers is now so
common that even the ordinary business man
coming TO New York from smaller centels OF trade
now uses the hotel typewriter Tor his correspond
ence. Some OF them let their letters accumulate
Tor several days before they call In a steno-
grapher. 1t Is noticeable that the successful Old
merchants Of the old school Shun typewriters as a
pestilential innovation. The executive heads or
leading corporations have all fallen into the habit
OF writing letters through stenographers, and
generally take them about In their travels. This
IS especially true about railroad men, who, In
spite OF the Interstate commerce law, manage to
secure passes as freely as ever.
