MR. CLEVELAND APPROVES
Says State Issues Are to the
Fore and National Issues
Will Abide.

PRINCETON, Oct q, 1S9S.-It was
stated in the official itinerary of Elvin
w. Crane, Democratic nominee for Cow
ernor, issued by the Democratic State
Committee, that former President Grover
meeting to be held at Trenton on Monday
night, October 81.
A reporter yesterday called upon Mr..
Cleveland and asked him regarding the
Trenton meeting.
= was asked to preside said the for
mer President. land as a decision was not
Immediately required / said that the mat
ter should be held under advisement. In
fact, it was only suggested to me, and I
have not vet arrived at a conclusion
Speaking in a general way about the
campaign in New Jersey, Mr.. Cleveland
said
Il would like to see this State go back
to its old Democratic moorings. My De-
tnocratic instincts and my satisfaction
with the State platform and the nominees
lead me into being exceedingly desirous
that the State ticket should be elected"
do you believe that the campaign
should be fought on State ~issues2'
That is the platform is it not. In my
opinion affairs of the State are of suffi-
Gent Importance, and the conditions in
which the citizens of this State are pecuil-
arly interested are such as 10 give ample
Importance to the contest without seek
ing outside issues. National issues will
abide, then, and we will soon enough oc-
cupy the attention of every citizen in the
land
Mr. Cleveland said that he had but just
returned from his Massachusetts, home
and consequently had not familiarized
himself with the actual state OF the poll
tical fight now progressing. But he had
read the Democratic State platform and
was very much pleased with 1t. Intact,
several times ne EXPRESSED his satisfac-
tion with its exposition Of Democratic
doctrine. He declined to say more about
national issues as opposed to State is
sues than wa contained in his statement.
He said that While he did not kno Mr..
Crane, he had heard from men of sound
judgment that the Democratic candidate
was a man OF ability, with a clean record,
and that he would make an excellent
Governor.
There was an evident Discrimination on
Mr.. Cleveland's part to be placed in the
attitude Of an authority on New Jersey
State Democratic politics, pleading that
he was but a recent citizen of the State,
interested in It's welfare, but not yet suf-
fieiently acquainted with all its various
concerns to be quoted as an oracle. and
certainly not wisn .ng to pose as d politi-
ealfpo~er in the State. He said in con-
ciusion that he saw no reason why Mr..
Crane hould not be elected.

The Coming State Comptroller's Re-
mort.

Much curiosity is felt among well IN
formed leaders of both parties touching
the figures which viii appear upon the
states balance sheet at the close Of this
month, when the fiscal year comes to an
end. The whisper abroad at Trenton is
that there viii be a deficit beside which
the $l4, 2Ss.0S shortage of last year viii
seem a mere trifie. The extravaganza OF
the Annual Appropriation bill passed by
the Legislature of last year, under the
leadership of Foster NJ. Voorhees,, as
Chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations, gives only too much justification
for this expectation.
There is also some curiosity as to
whether the figures will be made public,
or whether State Comptroller Hancock
win do as he did last year, conceal the
figures and send a flowery telegram Of
congratulation to the Governor calculated
to misguide the people by inference with
out furnishing them with any real infor-
nation.
We hardly think Mr.. Hancock viii play
that game twice. If he attempts It, the
people will know what is the matter. II
no figures are given out, it will mean
that the truth is so bad the Republicans
dare not nave it known until after cleo
ton.
Voters. keep your eyes on Mr.. Hancock
at the close of this month.
