A1RANY. n. Y, Oct. S1.-The Argus
IN ,ublish tomorrow the following inter-
law with ex-President Cleveland on the
.olitical situation, sent to it by its New
vi correspondent: ''Of course it is need
lass for me to express the deep interest |
,ooI in the election now pending, though |
have sometimes feared that ny repeated and
o,forcad declinatlon of invitations to visit
dsareut localities and address political
meetings might be construed as indicating
slack of sympathy with the fortunes of the
o,csllent candidates in the democratic
add 7 am sure that there never was a
,rblic question discussed more thoroughly
and more intelligently than has been the
subject of tariff reform by its democratic
advocates. This may perhaps suggest that
/. the democratic position on this issue is
tba correct one there should be an imme-
di.te acouiescence on the part of the peo-
pie. -
POPULAR JUDGMENT DISTORTED.
"Rut the Judgment of our countrymen
has been so trampled, and their perceptions
have been SO clouded by prejudice and ap-
meals TO self-interest that their appreciation
~ the province of our government has been
distorted and they have for years been led
n 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 advantage
10 certain classes. There can be no advance
in tariff reform where these ideas prevail.
h is certainly true that in such a selfish
operation the interests of some Of the peaple
must be neglected. A protest on the part
t those has been stiaed by most arrant
deception and cajolery.
OPENING THEIR EYES.
"At last, however, these neglected ones
are aroused, and in spite of the clouds of
Misrepresentation and delusion which sur
round them they begin to see the light.
Our agrculturists anu others whose inter-
ests have been disregarded, while
advantages have been accorded
to a favored few, are not to
be much longer deceived They are dis
covering more and more clearly that the
toll and accomplishing labor which should
have added to their own comfort and pros
perty, have been diverted to the aggran-
dizement Of others, while they have con-
stantiy grown poorer. They fail to see in
the accumulation of vast fortunes, under
such conditions, any compensation for their
discouraglng labor or for their forced and
pinching economy. They will not always
be silent but will naturally and inevitably
demand justice to all and favor to none,
which our Institutions promise.
THE NEXT HOUSE.
81 am confident that we shall secure a
majority in the House OF Re, resentatives.
0ur success may not be so sweeping and
decisive as many of our sanguine friends
anticipate, but it will be safe and substan-
lal. cannot forget how laboriously the
reform moves which must break through
selfish interests, strongly entrenched and un-
srupulously asserted, and which must over
come abuses long suffered and arro-
gantly maintained. l believe that all
our gains must be the result of a hard
Nruggle against these odds. 1t is not, how
ever, posi- le that the complete triumph of
.ue peoples cause can be much longer de-
@yed. The effective inculcation of the
wholesome doctrine which characterizes the
ueihocraac press; through the discussion
gong on IN every part of the country; the
uullsg gulsed schemes of the Republican
party to secure its perpetuation in power
trough reckless enactments which stif1e the
