MR. CLEVELAND'S FIAT HE WARNS OFFICE SEEKERS TO LEAVE HIM ALONE. He Declares Thnt He Will Not Consider Applications Until After His Inaugura tion—No Reason or Decency in Ills Being Overwhelmed, He Says. NEW YORK, NOV. 23.— Mr. Cleveland has departed from this city. Since election day the president-elect has been absolutely overwhelmed by visitors. Before be left for the country he issued this pronuncin mento: Many of the callers whom I have been obliged to recoivo would not, I think, have encroached upon my time if they had given the matter a moment's reflection. Those who have called upon me to talk about offices, it seems to me, have been a little inconsiderate and certainly unnecessarily premature. I desire to give JUS much publicity as possible to the statement that I do not propose to consider applications for office prior to my inauguration, and I shall avoid all interviews on that subject. Those who under any pretense gain an op portunity to present tl. ir applications orally, and those who burden me at this time with written applications, • unot possibly do any thing which would so interfere with their chances of success. Written applications will be so littlo regarded that I doubt if they ever | see the files iu Washington, for there is no reason or decency in my being overwhelmed with such matters at this time. President-elect Cleveland's destination is Exmore, Va., a hamlet equally distant from Chesapeake bay and the Atlantic ocean. His sole companion when leaving this city was Charles Jefferson, son of Mr. Cleveland's neighbor and fishing comrade at Buzzard's Bay. Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth remain at Lakewood, X. J. Mr. Cleveland left this city unobserved, and great secrecy was thrown about his future movements and destination. Cleveland's New York Speech. NEW YORK, NOV. 21.— 1n the course of his speech at the reception tendered him by the Manhattan club President-elect Clevelund said: The American people have become politi cally more thoughtful and more watchful than ten years ago. They are considering now vast ly greater questions than then. Party policy has become the important thing in contradis- ' tinction to pjirty spoils. The distribution of party rewards for party action is no longer the mainspring of a politi- | cal campaign. Tho situation must be gravely j and intelligently met by those in charge of our [ political organizations. No party, I care not whether Democratic or Republican, can get the support of tho mass of j the voters by merely promising party rewards for party supremacy. Tho people will be satis- | fled with nothing less than tho redemption of the sacred pledges made to them collectively— ' the administration of wise policies and tho car rying on of an honest government. [Great . cheering.] 1 would not have this otherwise. lam will ing that the Democratic party should see that • they may only hope successfully to retain the j confidence of the people In meeting the situa tion by being absolutely and patriotically true ( to itself and its professions. This is the assured ' guarantee of success. I know no other. I [Cheers.] Mrs. Lease Ready to Fight. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 28.—Mrs. M.
