GKOVEB CLEVELAND’S FUTURE. Ho Will Not Bo a Pecuniary Loser In Retiring fiomthe Presidency. [New York telegram.] The fact that President Cloveland, on March 4. is to become a monibtr of the law firm of Bangs, Stetson, Tracy & MacVeogh gains a fresn intfrest when linked, as it is, with the announcement that Lauiel l.amont, his private (secretary and trusted confidential ir.eud, is to be President of the Avenue C Horse Kailroad Company. 'the firm of Bangs, Stetson, Tracy & McVeagh represent Widener, Elkins, Kemble, Whitney, and others who control tho Philadeij hia Traction Company, one of the most gigantic corpora tions of tho age. By detrees it is absorbing the best of the surface stroet-car traffic in the country. It fs known in its local branches and at Albany as the Metropolitan Transfer Company. it owns the Broadway line, the Avenue C lino, and others in New York City, and, unless the courts interfere, it will soon be where it can dictate to ail the surface lines in New York. It is the same combination which, represented by C. T. Yerkes, now owns and operates the street-car service on the North and West Bides of Chicago. The present action of President Cleveland iis not a sudden move. In 1884 i e was invited to join tho firm in the evtnt of his defeat as the Democratic cundidate, and he was then offered a salary or guarantee of Soul,ooo a year. When his Presidential term was drawing to a close this offer was renewed under the same conditions, and this time Mr. Cleveland has found It practicable to accept. In these negotiations Mr. Whi’ney, who is largely interested in the syndicate, has been tho active agent. He it was, as he explained a few days ago, that procured for l.amont the position of President of the Avenuo C line. Thus it wi;l be seer, that Mr. Cleveland will sti’l bo in close relations with his two intimates at Washington. Since the death of Mr. Manning it is well known that no men were so near to the President as the tw. i mentioned. This Intimacy will now be continued, but will be given a business instead of a political aspect. The traction company, as has been said, is one of the mightiest business aggregations of the time. Its scope is national and its pecuniary future is dazzling. Thus the vicissitudes of political life have opened new and magnificent business opportunities. Mr. Whitney’s friendship, reaching back as it does to the time when Cleveland and Lambnt were together at Albany, and deepened by four years’ intimacy at Washington, puts in their way prizes almost as tempting as the honors they will soon lay down. As so many other jnen who have filled high public stations have done before them, the President and his shrewd and fai liful secretary now quit politics and plunge into the vast busiliass life that centers in New York City.
