J., Jan. 11.—Ex-Presi dent Grover Cleveland seems to ap preciate the factional feeling that has prevailed so long and is at present so bitter in the ranks of New Jersey’s democracy. One of Cleveland's most intimate friends met him at Lakewood very recently, and in the course of a conversation on politics the ex-presi dent observed: “For many years I have watched with pleasure the increasing demo cratic majorities in New Jersey, and have felt a deep pride in my party’s achievements in the state. Its sturdy loyalty to the democratic candidates made me willing to lend a ready ear at all times to its demands, and you know that they were very numerous during my term as president. “But during that entire four years it was my invariable experience that some Jersey applicants for office would base their plea on the fact that they were McPherson men. and others on the fact that they were Abbott men, but I don’t remember an instance in which any Jersey man asked .foran office because he was a democrat. ” THANKED BY CLEVELAND.

Lasher, President—My Dear Sir: We have received the chair which the St. Louis Furniture board of trade sent to our young daughter and beg to return our sincere thanks for the same.
