Cleveland Confident Of the Triumph oil
Tariff Reform

Tarin REFORM
NEW YORK, December 3.-The World
prblishss the following dispatch from
Washington: The stories that represent
President Cleveland as dsspondent in de-
feat are without foundation. To an init
mate friend he is reported TO have said
Tariff reform must win, because it is
right. Selfish interests can not much
longer deceive the people. The attack
upon theee interests by the Mills bill and
the Democratic policy, Of which it was the
exponent, raised an enormous fund for use
in the recent election. The monopolists
bad also the pl susible side OF the Argument,
and this doubtless, had its effect among
certain elements of our people in this
grest interest. The farmers, particu-
larry and curiously, seemed more affected
by it than the workingmen in the manu-
| featuring centres. These last had been
thinking of the question snd debating it
among themselves long before il became 50
prominent in this political contest. The
education of the farmers in the same dirtc.
tion will now te rapid. Ifthe Republican
leaders are able TO maintain their rolicy
"a announced in the Chicago platform and
in the Senate Tariff bill, the defeat Of their
party a 1892 is inevitable"
SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MESSAGE.
The widely published stories as TO the
Presidents tariff message of last Decem-
Der, and tho alleged share in its prepara-
tion by Mauton Marble, Henry Waiter
son, Spe iker Carlisle and Others, have been
declared TO this same friend, by the Presi-
dent, TO ha altogether untrue. Mr. Mar.
BILE, he said, bad not only no share in pre-
pairing the message, but no knowledge OF
of its purpoIt or Of his intention to write
and send it to Congress. Neither Mr.
! Carlisle nor Mr.. Watterson nor any men,
Der Of his Cabinet, nor, 10 fact, any ore
knew Of his intention in this respect until
he read the first draft Of the message to
his Cabinet, Secretary Whitney alone
being abtelt. In this connection il is
now sard tha; Attorney General Garland
was the only Cabinet officer then present
VINO oil.red any objection TO the message
! lie recommended warmly that the Presi-
dent adhere strictly TO the lines Of the
party platform Of 1854. Secretary Whit
/ ney, when he reached Washington and
read the proposed message, frankly told
| the President that it would certainly lose
! New York TO the plrty in the coming
election.
SPEAKER CARLISLE.
! Speaker Carlisle was frequently con-
suited by the President after he had read
the noe sage 10 his Cabinet and did
thoroughly approve Of il. Bat il went to
Corgie's very nearly in the same form
and with the same phrases az it first came
from the Presidents hand. Mr.. Cleve-
land shows no diSp )siton to shirk the
least responsibility iIs the policy thus in
/ all ,ursted, and, AZ said, is elCquently cer-
tain that it will prevail four years hence
He has. by the way. the highest conf
dence OF ofSpeaker Oarlisle's statesmanlike
mind, and apparently an even sffeclionate
regard for him as man. IN all my &C.
qqalotance with him., he rsce6tiiyy said,
| have never known him to expressSn
unworthy thought, or in fact, any opipion
or Impression exc'pt fllei with the
oftie't patriotism"
The statement att.ibuted TO oroninent
Democrat in the interview publis-,d bv
The WOrI3 this morning that Mr.. RanoiI
was not consulted by the President before
the tariff message was sent TO Congress
must have been founded upon misinforma-
tion. Mr.. Randall was almost daily in
close conference with the President and
Speaker Carlisle every day during the
week before the message WAS sent TO Con-
gress.
AFTER LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE.
The PRECEDENT has determine upon
rO:hipg after he leaves the White House,
except that it Is practically resolved he
will sell his Oak View estate and under
no circumstances will live in Washington.
The report that he has determined upon
visit 10 Europe il entirely unfounded.
II is much more than probable that he will
buy residence in New York city and will
live there. Ia any event he will reside in
New York State, perhaps in or near some
country town. lie does not expect to be
called upon to return TO public life.
From those near 10 the President il is
learned that his private income will be
about 5000 year, and that Of his wife
from her grandfarher's legacy, 81, 800 or
81, 600 more. Whether Mr. Cleveland
will resume his legal practice, probably ss
a consulting lawyer, he has not apparently
determined.
Mrs. Cleveland appears to her friends to
be not seriously affected by the near pros.
pect Of retirement from the pleasures Of q
semi-ofncial position. She il Of very
squable disposition, and if she is disap-
pointed, gives DO more Sign Of il than does
her husband. II they 20 70 New York
city their household there will undoubt-
edly bs made by her one OF the most Lots.
