The President Interviewed Regarding Regard-ing the Tariff and the Confirmation Confirma-tion of Appointees.' President Cleveland Interviewed. New Vobk, January 3. A World correspondent corres-pondent had an' interview with President Cleveland yesterday. - The President was asked how he regarded Senator Beck's speech upon the tariff. He replied : "My own personal idea about that is that the only practical way to pass a bill would be to have the House committee charged with this work take up the subject in a business fashion fash-ion and modify the present lawsinBuoh a way as to help the poor people who labor, and to take away needless protection from the few who have grown inordinately rich at the expense of the many." r . Referring to the subject of the Senate and the consideration by that body of his appointments, ap-pointments, the President said: "I have made no hasty selection of officers, but on the contrary have given very much time and investigation to the subject, appreciating appreciat-ing that very much depends on the personnel of the government. Possibly I may have erred in some instances, but I am sure they are few, and I have every evidence that the country is satisfied with the new officials. I have no knowledge as to what course the Senate will pursue, but I have no idea that it will assume to interf ere with the prerogatives preroga-tives of the President. I have my duties-it duties-it has its duties. One thing I do not believe, and that is that the United States Senate will spend its time in listening to the petty criticisms of appointees which come from disappointed applicants for office." |
