CLEVELAND TALKS
On the Political Situation and
the Mckinley Bill.
AN ORIGINAL PACKAGE DECISION
By United States Judge CaIdwell-O. P. Liquor
Enjoys no Privileges that the
Domestic Article Does Not.

| ALBANY, Oct 31.-The argus will print
tomorrow lengthy interview with ex-
President Cleveland on the political situa-
ton. In it Cleveland says, in part:
VI am sure there never was public
question discussed more thoroughly and
more lntelligently than the subject of tariff
reform by the Democratic advocates. This
may perhaps suggest that if the Demo
cratic position on this issue is a correct
one, there should be immediate and ready
acquiescence on the part of the people, but
the judgment Of our countrymen has been
SO trampled and their positions so clouded
by prejudice and appeals to self interest,
that their apprehension of the true prov
lnce of our government has been distorted
and they have for years been led to believe
that the conduct of public affairs might
properly minister to their profit,
not by securing general prosperity founded
on principle, but by giving direct advan-
tage to certain classes. 1t certainly is true
that IN such selfish operations the interests
OF some of the people must be neglected.
Protest on the part of these has been
stl11ed by the most arrant deception and ca
iolery. At last. however, these neglected
OF misrepresentation aud delusiOn which
surround them, they begin to see the
light. Our agriculturists and others, whose
interests have beed disregarded while ad
ventages have been accorded to the favored
few, are not to be much longer deceived.
II am confident we shall secure ma
jority in the next House of Representa-
tlves. L cannot forget how laboriously a
reform moves which must break through

unscrupulously asserted and overcome
abuses long suffered and arrogantly main
tanned. | believe all our gains must
be the result of a hard struggle against
these odds. 1t is not however, possible
That complete triumph of the peoples
cause can be much longer delayed. The eff
fectlye incubation of wholesome doctrine
which characterizes the Democratic press
through the discussion going on in every
part of the country, the undisguised
schemes OF the Republican party to secure
its perpetuation in power through reckless
enactments, which stif1e the results of the
peoples suffrage, its brutal methods OF
legislation, and, above all, the positive dis
tress daily threatened our people under the
operation of a new and Ubiquitous tariff
lava law which not only enhances the
cost of the necessaries of life, but
fosters the eXtortioas of trusts and
combinations. These taxes make certain
the coming of freer and better time
and the ascendency of true democracy.
Whatever the near result may be, am
not at all afraid that the zeal of the party
Will flag or that encouragement will in
the least dampen its ardor or lessen its ag-
gressiveness. The Democratic party is
thoroughly united and has planted itself
on Democratic principles. 1t will not aban-
don its cause, but will continue the war
fare until it acieves complete success. The
party that knew no disbursement in
1888 will not waver nor falter in 1890"
