rms much has been learned frnm

he called on the president-elect Ue
ana MIR. Cleveland. In the most natural
way possible. got to talking about Inc
course Mr.. Cleveland would pursue on
the patronage question after lis lnaur-
uration. The Democratic senator had
not been in full accord with Mr.. C1evo.
iands IDEAS on patronage during his
hrst administration; the senator Thought
that too much consideration had been
shown to the Republicans,
Mr. Cleveland. it appears from tho
conversation he has lust had with ibe
United States senator, did not wish 10
look upon Republican otliceholders with
too severe an eye so long as they ut
tended TO their duties. He believed
they could be won from their crring
ways II consideration was shown to
them. But when he came up for re-
election in 1888, and when the numo-
cratic party was straining every nerve
to rc-elect him. these Republican officials
and their friends turned out to be just
as bitter partisans MS ever.

just talked over these matters with Mr..

them wide open now. MIR. Cleveland"
said the SENATOR will regard the civil
service laws as they exist, but no con.
siderati0n will be shown to Republican
otbceholders. There are grave questions
of legislation confronting Mr.. Cleveland
and his cOunselors, and most Of their
attention will have TO be directed on
them at first, but In odd moments Mr.
Cleveland will see to II that the Demo
cratic party secures what belongs to L.
From his conversation with me he doe.
net propose to show any mercy TO Repub
licau officials outside the civil service
and for that matter Republican official
in the civil service will be tumhed ON
if they can be shown TO be incOmFctcu
and lazy. Mr.. Cleyeland's ideas ahou
these matters have undergone grcl
change. He knows the trimmers anl
those who were kept in Office during Bit
administration Oh the belief that the!
had experienced n change Of heart
These fellows will be tunlbled out AZ
speedily as possible. No one will rej0ic
more over their discontinue than tn
fighting Republicans themselves. ! wa
rejOiced to hear Mr., Cleveland talk Il
he did. He will remember the friend
who have been personally loyal to hir

regular organizations. lie is an arden
believer in organization, though, aud, /
my opinion, no just Democrat will hav
cause for complaint against Mr.. Cley,
