CLEVELAND ON NEPoTIssI.

He Refuses TO Give a Relative a
Job.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-President
Cleveland has defined his views on
nepotism in laanner so forcible that
he left no doubt in the mind of his
hearer that he was irrevocably opposed
to the practice. The gentleman towhom
Mr.. Cleveland outlined his views on
the question is Western congressman
who came to secure the appointment of
a constituent to Office. He told Mr..
Cleveland that the applicantwas good
Democrat, good fellow, and further
more, relative of the president him
self.
THAT settles it," Mr.. Cleveland is re-
ported as saying His name cannot
be considered And the president is
said to have given the congressman a
lecture on the danger of appointing rel
atives to Office. in which he placed him.
self on record as against nepotism in all
its shades of meaning and application.
One OF the Exceptions.
Congressman Springer also learned
something more about the new rules for
appointment. He spoke to Mr.. Cleve-
land about the application of former
ofhceholder for reappointment to the
postmastership at Petersburg. Ills, and
after explaining the facts in the case re-
ceived an answer favorable to the ap-
plicant. The explanation was this:
The candidate in question is q woman
and Democrat who was appointed
postmaster at Petersburg by President
Arthur just prior to Mr.. Cleveland's
first term. She was reappointedby Mr..
Cleveland after General Harrison's
election, but the Republican senate re-
fused to confirm the nomination and q
Republican Of Mr.. Harrison's selection
secured the place.
President Cleveland, in his interview
with Mr.. Springer, after hearing this
statement Of the case with the addi-
tional information that the applicant ID
almost unanimously endorsed, gave Mr..
Springer to understand that he would
reappoint the lady.
Mr.. Cleveland has made several like
statements in connection with similar
cases to other congressman, and his
language on these occasions indicates
that former appointees who were pre-.
vented from serving their terms
through lack of confirmation by the
senate win be given preference in appli-
cations for the Offices for which they
were selected under Mr.. Cleveland's
first incumbency.
