New YORK, Nov. 22.-Mr. Clevelan1
left this city very quietly at o'clock
this evening. He was driven in a closed
carriage from his residence to the De
brossess street ferry and crossed to Jer-
sey City. He was met by one of the
Pennsylvania railroad officials, who eS-
corted him to special car No. 81, of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington IL Balti-
more line, which had been attached to
the regular train.
MIR. Cleveland's departure was un-
observed. All information as to his
departure. the direction to be taken
and the destination of the president
elect was kept secret all day, and when
Mr.. Cleveland, mutfied in big over
coat, walked through the railway sta
tiOn, he was not recognized by the few
people who were present. His destina-
ton is said to be Newberne, N. c.. but
as the train he took has no Southern
connection. it is thought he will stop at
some other point on his way.
In Search OF Rest.
Mr.. Cleveland left town today in
search Of rest. Since election he has
been fairly overrun with callers, and
the volume of his correspondence has
been something enormous. Talking
before his departure today with re-
porter. Mr.. Cleveland said:
81 fully appreciate the good and
friendliness which these letters indi-
cate and shall not omit, as time allows,
TO read every one of them. These good
friends. of course. will not expect any
reply to their communications, for that
would be utterly out of the question,
and the most that | can do is to say
through the press that | am not un-
mindful of their kindness.
MANY of the callers whom have
been obliged to receive would not, L
think, have encroached upon my time il
| they had given the matter moments
| reflection. Those who have called upon
me to talk about offices, it seems to me,
| have been a little inconslderate, and
| certainly unnecessarily premature.
desire to give as much publicity as pos
| Sible to the statement that do not pro-
pose to consider applications for office
prior to my Inauguration. and shall
Avoid All Interviews
on that subject. Those who under any
pretense gain an opportunity to present
burden me at this time with written APP
plicatiOns, cannot possibly do anything
which would so interfere with their
chances of success. Written applica-
tons will be so little regarded that |
doubt if they ever see tue files in Wash
ington, for there is no reason or decency
in my being overwhelmed with such
matters at this time"
Upon being asked how long he ex-
pected to be away OH his vacation, Mr.
Cleveland replied:
'As to that | am not certain; it will
depend upon various conditions. / eX-
pect, however, to be absent about two
weeks. and when | return, unless | am
somewhat relieved from the unneces-
sary demands upon my time to which |
have been subjected here thus far,
shall shut up my house In the,city and
find some more quiet place to spend the
winter. Certainly between now and
the 4th of March | ought to have some
time to devote to other matters than re-
ceiving callers and considering subjects
which should be postponed"
