CLEVELAND AND IELIUION. Gratified by the Prayers of the Pious, lit A Hating Everythn-g Like Hypocrisy. (Wastngton Letter to Piatsia. >-d.) "A very large -per cent. of the 4eo ple throughout the country seem to be si bent on evangelizing President Cleve land," ob-erved one of the (nief Ex- l' ecutive's most intimate friends to-day. b "Mr. Cleveland was telling ie the al other day that lie sonetimies thougoht - there wa's an impression in the minds of t4o mnaniy good folks thIat he pre- ? seitd a rare pporti~ty tr the III- T sionaries. I asked him why he thonhit , so and he laughingty replied: 'Oh, if the advice given tme was coiccii- ( trated on Africa, it woulI civilize and C Christianize that whole wild and % wicked and dark country.' 1 had to a laugh, for there was so mulch serious- : uess and yet dry humor in it all. e Cleveland realizes, as lie is reminded E. so often and so forcibly, that in a cer- ! tain way he sets an examiple to the n frld, but. it worries hini a little, I I can see, to be told by hundreds of peo- d ple, sometimes in one week, that he N ought to let his light so shine, etc. He s believe- that these people must tl inx eI he is very wicked, or elhe that lie is o the guardian of fifty million of people. f Speiking of this point lie said to me: C 'A President or king-- or other high and d national officer should recognize the I supreme power in every act committed A-man or woman should never get sC exalted as to fail to do this. Now, few public men have as little opportunity t to disseminate personal views a I it have. If I were ever so anxious to % make people believe I was the embodi- c inent of goodness it would be up-hill c work to create that impression, for a t President cannot cry his wares from t the housetops. If this advice about c being a Christian and all that, coming X in every form and from every direc- t tion, is for my own guidance, very 1 well. If it is to change the general course of -my public career, it is ill y given. Ono thing I am bound shall I never be made-the charge that I was b a hypocrite. I like Cbristians; they N are the saltof the earth. A hypocrite, f to My-ids is the basest of sinuers.'- a "The NiNident must be a little an these importunities, is he v ti R iedg' "Not in the least. On Y 'Sme 'C-6601ry he is gratified for the tercstshown in him, if it is respect- c uHy slirt . He doesn't seem to corn piehenid 'he fact that all Presidents n have had to withstand this ordeal. a "The letters he receives are not the only A evidence given him of a desire that he C shall be a moral man. You would be I surprised how many Christian people breathe an audible prayer for him, t: however, when they grasp his hand, t( and it all has a very perceptible efl'et fi upon .Mr. Cleveland, for he said he M didn't think any man or woman with it sense and a heart could fail to be y affected by the prayers of an earnest hi people, when .he or she knew they a were so constantly delivered. 'It is tl something like love in its physical v effect,' said. Mr. Cleveland one' day. I 'Now, if one is very earnestly and I sio9nee eed that atfection is sure, if S ept#ub'd&dde irated, to have its way, unless the suitor is absolutely offensive. The mere fact that so much T confieacid affection is persistently besto d* touch a heart of stone.
