NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-St. Clair Nc
Kelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle,
who has been for several days at Lake
wood, n. j., and during that time has
had conferences with President-elect
Cleveland, writes his paper as follows:
"Groyer Clevelaud's inaugural adj
dress as president of the United
States for four years, from March
next, will contain about 1,700 words
and will be more general than specific
in character. Mr.. Cleveland has care
fully written out what he desires
to say, but will speak at the
Inauguration without manuscript,
only referring to topical notes to
refresh his memory. The address will
express Mr.. Cleveland'S profound graft
tude 10 the people for the honor thus
a second time conferred upon him as a
mark of confidence in him and belief in
the principles upon which he was
elected. His utteranceS upon the finan-
cial policy, tariff and economy Of ad-
ministratiOn will be
Decisive and Frank.
"Confidence in Democratic principles
as able to deal with the problems Of
labor and capital, sectional divisions
and political unrest will be eX pressed.
The abolition of federal interference
with elections in the states will, it is
said, be treated as recognized de-
cision of the people. The pension
department, the new navy, q rigorous
quarantine and the regulation of immi-
grafton will probably receive attention.
The president may not refer openly to
the question of annexation Of Hawaii,
but Will take a conservative stand on
the subject and not act hastily.
MIR. and Mrs. Cleveland will go az
once to the executive mansion after the
inauguration, and not to any private
residence, as has been reported. Pres
put Ill admirable condition. He has
been in correspondence with Mr.. Cleve'
land, and the latter greatly appreciates
the kind, provident and hospitable spirit
which the retiring president has shown
for the comfort of the family of the in
coming executive.
"Mr. Cleveland and President Harri
son will ride TO and from the inaugural
ceremonies together. Mr.. Cleveland's
First Veto
was sent in against the ARRANGEMENTS
that he should be driven from the CAPT
tOl to the White house behind four black
horses in white harness, with an out.
rider on each. This did not accord with
Mr. Cleveland's Jeffersonian ideas, and
the veto of it was quick and decisive.
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan has been at Lake
wood several days, but did not call on
Mr.. Cleveland
MIR. McKelway adds the following
notes OF interest:
''The death-bed. or eleventh-hOut
loyalty of the Brooklyn machine to
Cleveland, is appreciated at its CONNER
cial value, and whether the home ma
chine will have the courage to keep out
of caucus at Albany or not is watched
for here with interest. The pol
icy of going into caucus with the
purpose to back out or to try to back
out of caucus if anything unpleasant is
sprung on the caucus, is regarded here
as an endeavor to ride two horses going
in opposite directions at the same time.
Open opponents within the party will
be treated with no preference to nerve
less nj inveterate Self-styled friends.
Anti-sn1pper Democracy ranks high in
the quotation of political values here
and AT Washington now"
