Chicago. Nov. 12.-1'he Washington
correspondent of the Record says:
"fn conversation with friends recently
President Cleveland assumed that the re-
suit OF the election was an Endorsement and
Justification OF his policy and administra-
tion. Never before has n president found
similar significance and satisfaction In the
success OF the candidate OF the opposition
/ party, but he argues that free coinage was
the only issue before the people and that
the republican platform represented his
! views quite as much those OF Maj. Me-
/ kinley and the financial principles he has
endeavored TO maintain. on the other
hand. the platform OF hts own party, which
advocated the opposite system OF finance
and was laden with both implied and direct
! senslre OF his official acts. was repudiated
| by tho people by "A majority OF more than
! l0O,Oo0 votes His administration was at
Tackled by almost every democratic speaker
on the stump; he was denounced con-
/ demned and criticised quite as freely and
4 frequently as Mai. Mckinley, and IN some
| parts OF the country even more So but Il
had no effect upon the majority OF the
people, and he considers that they have In
dorsed him.
The president believes that Mai. Nc
kinley was elected by democratic votes,
and that the alliance OF forces that won
| the recent election should not be dissolved
as long as the present financial issue ~
early attempt TO reorganize the democratic
party. He thinks Il would be a dangerous
experiment while the silver faction is I'm
the majority, and should be postponed I'M
] I'll the currency question Is settled. when
he thinks the reorganization would take
care or itself. IL Is his opinion that tbs
rank and file OF the democratic party will
have their revenge upon the leaders who
led them into the blundcrs that were made
at the Chicago convention and In the cam
paiRn that followed. He hopes President
Mckinley will so shape his policy that he
will not ALLEVIATE the gold standard demo-
Gratis who supported him. and believes that
a conservative treatment OF the tariff will
accomplish all that the republican leaders
desire, without offending their recent allies
who may differ with them on that issue.
"It Is not necessary, he thinks, for Mai
Mckinley to include his democratic sup
porters In the distribution or patronage
! for the reason that they voted for him from
principle and not with the hope or expecta-
tion or reward He would consider II unbe-
coming FOR any former democrat TO seek
an office under his successor simply be-
cause he happened 10 vote the republican
ticket this time Nevertheless he recog
nizes President Mckinley's right TO confer
| honors wherever he believes they are de-
served and call around him from both
parties such men he thinks viii strength
en- his administration. The president s
| confident that Mai Mckinley viii allow all
the gold standard democrats who are now

OF their commissions. This was done by
him I'm the case OF President Harrison's APP

Harrison with the appointces OF President
Cleyeland's first term.
The president Is now engaged I'm the

what suggestions he intends 10 make con-
concerning financial legislation, but Il Is
assumed he viii renew his recommendation
