NEw YORK, Oct. 21.-The best citizens her,
continue to grow disguised with the Demo

up an Independent ticket, it will probably
be done, and will have half chance to b,
elected, but it will not be any helI

by from 5000 to 10000 votes

The Fifth avenue hotel where the Folger
campaign committee sets, presents dull
and inactive scene nightly. saw last
night Frank Hiscock, the Syracuse con-
gresham who came so near being elected
in Refers place, standing at the foot of
the stairs with very affected codntenance,
but good many friends did not see him
as they passed by, since he has be-
gun to shape his principles in
the interests of Belden, the
old canal boss, who at the late Saratoga
convention deserted his half breed friends
and came out for the machine, thereby
showing that man can make money and
yet not know how the cat is going to jump.
sew Clint Wheeler sitting by tAe cigar
stand last night, pouring some doleful
tale into the ears of sleepy friend.
Wheeler is much beloved friend of the
Arfh of fho oil vo,%c IN
business man several years ago and formed
connection with the Indian bureau to sell
Indian blankets, ct cetera. The first
step in such a journey is to feel half of
the way, and Wheeler speedily landed a
bankrupt in merchandise, but a full gradu-
ate in politics with a boyish address, hearty
ways, keenness and brightness and taste
of the rowdy in him. Wheeler has always
managed to hold on to politics by the left
hand and go fishing with the right. The
new administration had its habits too well
formed when it went into power, and was
too keenly sensitive of the intellectual
shortcomings to advance one step
upon these old companionships.
Hence the White house has
get to be a sort of fishing club with polit-
ical leanings. The president goes through
the forms of his great Office somewhat
after the style of George ", who was re-
garded as the first gentleman in Europe,
but Always got drunk near midnight.
Later in the day, or rather in the night, the
true life of the White house begins, and
Clint Wheeler comes in with his big boyish
face and some GIN crack or other in his
pocket, to show 'Chet." how to catch a
man with it. There is loud roar and some
other chum produces the trick of the
three jackasses, when you raise the lid
from number one and see number two, and
when you come to number three see your
self in little piece of looking glass. The
side board is convenient, the cigars are
good, and there the fishing ..party dreams
away the hours. And so the president and
others of the party get the Washington
malaria, which is the name for every sort
of Indigestion and cramp, and then Clint
tells ''Chet" about his boat up at Clayton,
and Chef goes off for month
fishing without single one of
the barks being made at him by the press
that used tc raft horribly when any mem
Der of his cabinet put their noses over the
ramparts of Washington. AS went into
the Fifth avenue hotel tonight, seeing
without looking at them, the various
wrecks of manhood, of principle and of

an old Albany reporter and clerk of the
legislature, who has been equally thick
with Conkling and Tlden in the past.
