The PrcpoBderancft of Official Fstransas Will Still Remain North-ladle*# of Cl# vela net???s Policy He tv tho South Pisls Over tho Result??? Cleveland!# rises Outlined, Zee. Wasihnoton, December 7.???Senator Lamar arrived in tho city yesterday, having been de tained at his home by sickness. A represent ative of tho associated press called on him to day, with a view to obtaining an expression of his views concerning the policy of the in coming administration. In reply tho senator said, in substance: "I thind it duo to the presidont-olect that the democratic party and tho country should await with patience and cohfidenco the ap pearance of his inaugural address and first message, for in' those alone, think, will be found foreshadowed policy of his administration. Any expression of opinion) meantime, can only ho of the most f ;enerftl character, based upon tho well known raditions of democratic government, and upon Governor Cleveland's official courso hitherto, which, alter wide publicity and dis cussion, has been approved by tho people. So far as I may honestly ven ture to express an opinion, I should say that Mr. Cleveland, as president will undoubtedly favor n scrupulous, butnot,l think, a parsimonious economy in tho conduct of tho government, and will insist upon tho most rigid honesty and accountability tho port of public officials." THE TARIFF NtORAniLlTfES. In roply to a question as to tho probable ac tion of congress with regard to the tariff, Sen ator Lnmor said It was highly improbable tbnt any action would bo taken on tho tariff at this session. At tho noxt session, however, thoro would be proposed by the democrats snch a scheme of reduction as need cause no uneasiness whatever in tho business commu nity. Ho believed it would be wiso for tho manufacturers of the country to comproiniso witty tho tariff reformers, and the tariff refonnors with the manufacturers, upon tho reduction of duties to & revenue standard, with such discriminations in the arrangement ot tho do- tails within that limit as to afiord ample pro tection to American industries. Rovonuo re form and manufacturing prosperity ought not to be antagonistic forces. ???We aro now," said the senator,???the foremost manufacturing nation in tho world. Our industrial system Is eo vast and so intimatoly blended with our wholo social structure, that tho representatives ol tho pcojdo may surely bo trusted to sco that no industry shall suffer a shock by reason of legislation." CLXVkLASn IN THE SOUTH. Tho senator was asked: ???How is tho olcc tion of Cloveland regarded in tbo south, with relation to its probablo effect on that section?" ???I cannot," said he, "make a better answer to that question, than to refor you to General Gordon???s letter, recently published. It speaks the sentiment of tho wholo southern people, especially in its disclaimer of any purpose oi sectional aggrandizement. Tn my opinion, tho election will havo tho most decisive effect in bringing tho south into hearty and cordial relations with tho noith. Tho southern people do not regard tho election as a triumph ortheir section, or of any section They simply regard it as indicating the triumph, in tho nation, of tho princi(rics o tood government. Out of nearly flvo mil ion votes cast for Mr. Cloveland, more ihtn three million wero cast by the pcoplo of tho north. Under his administration, therefore, tho preponderance of political forces will continuo to l>e northern. The south simply recognizes in tho result of the election, tho placing in >6wcr, for the first timo siuco ho war, of an administration not hostile to her; ono under which her pooplo can heartily support and corporate with tho na tional government, thus bringing her highest interests into more domploto identification with those of the nation and tho foclings of her poople info tho intenser sympathy with thofe of their northern brethren. To rnako that administration one of which tho wholo American people may bo proud, the people of tho south will contribute every cnorgy ol hoad and heart." - The senator declined absolutely to bo inter rogated on the subject of Mr. Cleveland???s cab inct.
