Times for the first time:
WASHINGTON, Dec. %, l885.-DEAR
MR.. - | was glad to receive yours of
the 18th. We are still waiting for the
president, who moves with great delibera-
ton, listens to everybody and does as he
pleases. His principal nominations so
far have surprised the Democrats as much
as the Republicans, but they are gener-
ally strong men whose selection will be
approved By the conservative forces Of the
country. He has no imagination or sen
timent, and his policy will not be
sensational or startling, but if he keeps on
as he has begun his administration will
grow in popular favor. He isself possessed
and confident and exhibits no perturba-
ton of mind. Good humor prevails
throughout, though there is much grumb-
ling among the Democrats at the delay
in turning the ~rascals ont, but if
Cleveland can stand the racket for the
next twelve months he will bring his party
to its knees and be a strong leader. He
has u great opportunity and evidently
intends to improve it. Yours,
