ALBANY, Oct. 3l.-The Argus will print
tomorrow a lengthy interview with eK-
President Cleveland on the political sit-
uatioB. la ID, Cleveland says In part:
II am sure there never was public
question discussed more thoroughly and
more mteliigenuy than the subject OF
tariff reform by the democratic advocates.
This may perhaps suggest that II the
democratic position on this issue is a cor
rect one, there should be an immediate
and ready acquiencence on the part Of
the people. But the judgment Of our
Countrymen has been so trammeled and
their penetration so clouded by prejudice
and appeals to self interest, tha; their APP
urehension Of the true province pf our
government has been distorted and they
have for years been led 20 believe the
conduct Of public affairs might properly
minister TO their profit, not by securing
the general prosperity founded on prin-
clple, bat 10y giving a direct advantage 10
certain diseases. II is certainly true that
in such selfish opinion the interests of
some Of the people must be neglected.
The protest on the part of these has been
stiicd by the most arrant deception and
lected ones are aroused, and i'm spite of
the clouds OF misrepresentation and delu-
sion which surround them, they begih 70
see the light.
Our agriculturists and others whose in
tercsts have been disregartled, while adj
vantages have been accorded TO the favor
eel few, are not to he much Longer de-
ceiyed. am confident we shall secure
n majority in the house Of representa-
tiyes. can not forget how laboriously a
reform moves which must break through
selfish interests strongly entrenched and
unscrupulously assorted and overcome
abuses long suffered and arrogantly main
tanned. lbelIeye all our gain must be the
result Of a hard struggle against these
odds. IL is not, however, possible that a
complete triumph Of the peoples cause
can much longer ne delayed. The effect
i've incubation II 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 10 secure
lis perpetuation in power through reck-
less enactments which stifie the
results Of the peoples suffrage;
its brutal methods Of legislation
and, above all, the positive distress daily
threatened our people under the opera
ton Of the new and inquitious tariff law
law which not only enhances the cost Of
the necessaries OF life, but fosters the ex-
tortions Of trusts and combinations.-
make certain the advent Of a freer, better
time and the ascendancy Of the true dem
ocracy.
"Whateyer the near result may be am
not at all afraid that the zeal of the party
will flag or that discouragement will in
the best dampen its ardor or lessen its
aggressiyeness. The democratic party
is thoroughly united and has planted itself
on democratic principles. II will not
abandon its sacred cause, but will con-
continue warfare until il achieves COM
plcte success. The party that knew no
discouragement in lSsa will not wayer nor
/ falter in $780,"
