CLEVELAND OFF TO REST
OFFICE-sEEKsRS WARNED NOT
TO BE IN TOO BIG a HURRY.

Men Who Press Their Claims Before
March 4 More Apt to Hurt Their
Chances Than to Benefit Them.
Every Letter of ConRratulation to
Be Read
NEW YoRK, Nov. 2.-Presideut-eIect
Cleveland left town to-day in search Of q
much needed rest. Since the election he
had been fairly overrun with callers, aud
the volume Of his correspondence has been
something enormous. A reporter OF the
United Press called upon Mr.. Cleveland
this morning. The President-elects appear
ance indicated somewhat the fatigue con-
sequent upon his labor and the oonfnement
to which he has been subjected.
MUST HAVE REST.
In speaking of the absolute necessity Of
relief from the annoyances and exactions OF
his daily lot at home, he said: Il have been
amazed and exceedingly graaihed by the
thousands or letters Of conRratulation which
have received since the election from the
American people of every station iu life
and from every quarter Of the land. It
has been, however, utterly impossible
for me TO read every letter of that descrip-
tion which have received. with other in-
terruptions which have thus far seemed
unavoidable. l fully appreciate, however,
the good will and friendlibess which these
letters indicate. and shall not omit, as time
allows, to read every one of them.
CAN'T BE ANSWERED.
"These good friends, of course will not
expect any replies co their communications,
for that would be utterly out OF the ques-
tton, aud the most | can do is TO say
through the press that am not unmindful
OF their kindness. Many Of the callers
whom have been obliged 90 receive would
not, think, have enoroached upon my time
IL they had given the matter a moments
reflection. Those who have called upon me
20 talk about offices, it seems to me, have
been a little iuconsiderate and certainly
unnecessarily premature desire to give
as much publicity as possible to the staae-
ment that do not propose to consider APP
pllcations for office prior to my inaugura-
tion, and l Uhall avoid all interviews on
that subject.
WILL BE HURT by HASTE.
"Those who under any pretext gain an
opportunity TO present their applications
orally and those who burden me at this time
with their written applications cannot pos
sibly do anything which would 80 interfere
with their chances of success. Written ap.
plications will be so little regarded that
doubt II they ever see the files In WashIng>
ton, for there is no reason or decenoy in my
being overwhelmed with such matters at
this time"
LhNbTh OF HIS THlP.
Upon being asked how long he expected
70 bs away upon mis- vacation Mr.. Cleve-
land replied: "As to that am not certain.
1t will depend upon various conditions
expect, however, to be absent about two
weeks, and when return unless | am some-
what relieved from unnecessary demands
upon my time, to which have been sub
jected here thus far. shall shut up my
house In the city and find some more quiet
place to spend the winter. Certainly be-
tween now and March l ought TO have
some time to devote to other matters than
receiving callers and considering subjects
which should be postponed"
THE DEPARTURE.
Mr.. Cleveland left this city very quietly
at o'clock this evening. He was driven
in a closed carriage from his residence to
the Desbrosses street ferry aud crossed to
Jersey City. He was met by one of the
Pennsylvania railroad officials who escorted
him to special car No. 21 of the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore line,
which had been attached to the regular S;l5
o'clock train from Jersey City south.
Mr.. Cleveland's departure was unobserved.
All information az to the hour OF his de-
parture. the direction TO be taken and the
destination OF the President-elect was kept
a secret during the day, and when Mr..
Cleveland, muffied in a big overcoat, walked
through the railway station, he was not
recognized Dy the lew peOplo pFesoub. 11in
destination is said to be New Berne, N. c.,
but as the train he took has no southern
connection II is thought that he will stop at
Old Point Comfort on the way.
GOING TO ExMoRE.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 22.--President-
elect Cleveland is on his way to Exmore,
Nd, for two weeks cunning and fishiGg
trip. He left Jersey City S:l5 o'clock to-
night in company with Charles jefferson. a
son Of Joseph jefferson, in the private car
OF General Superintendent Kenny, of the
Philadelphia. Wilmin gton and Baltimore
railroad. The train arrived at the Broad
str cot station at IL o'ctock and here Clark
Davis, editor Of the PlLbtic LedQer, an in
innate friend of Mr. Cleveland, joined the
latter and his associate. The three will ba
the entire composition of the party.
CLEVELAND FAcETIoUs.
A reporter of the United Press sent bis
card to the President-elect by porter, but
Mr.. Cleveland declined to be seen. the
porter's answer was that "Mr. Cleveland
says he can't read writing"
Every effort was made TO keep the destina-
tion of the distinguished party secret. but
the place to which the private car was
bound was learned from the conductor. The
train, which is the Old Point Comfort and
Norfolk express, goes down the Delaware
railroad after leaving Wilmington. Del.
which place it reached at midnight. The
trio are amply prepared for genuine sports
mans jaunt That Mr.. Cleveland will
absent himself from the public Is certain.
