Pilgrimage 10 Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July l6.-The Commercial
Gazette has the following: On Saturday
evening man was seen slowly walking up
the classic shades OF Clifton avenue. In
age he must have passed the semi-centen-
nial. In figure he was inclined to rotund.
ity-in fact his white vest covered quite an
ambitious protuberance. In his blue coat
and pants and fat-rimmed straw hat be
looked like Eye ancient mariner" He
kept his eyes on the ground, as il in deep
thought, and ever and anon wiped his per-
spring weather-stained face and gave an
accompanying sigh.
Hoadly Is recorded to have ence "shud-
dered for his country" This lonely pc.
destrian on the heights OF Clifton was now
sW eating i0r harmony.
When good piece along the avenue.
John G. .Thompson-ior the perspiring
wayfaring man was none other than the
exiled statesman OF Celumbus-cast bis
eyes around, gave another wipe TO his
watery face, and turned up graveled path
TO the left and o moment afterward was at
an open, hospitable door. confronted by
that little Napoleon Of Hamilton county
Democracy, Congressman.elect Isaac N.
Jordan.
"What luck?" groauingly queffsd "Jon-
geh."
"Come right in and let's talk It over"
answered Mr.. Jordan, in sprightly and
comforting tone.
The door was closed. Late was the oil
burned in the study. Next morning the
confab was resumed. A recess was taken
for dinner, Colonel Tom Sherlock aad sew.
eral other trusty Democrats being around
the board. Then the conspirators got an
intimation that commissioner from the
Commercial Gazette was coming 10 pounce
upon them, and they fed-where, the
maid-servant, left in charge OF the house,
refused TO tell. The clerk at the Gibson
House, where John G. Thompson Is regis
tered, stated last night that he did not ex-
pect that gentleman back from the hill
tops until tomorrow morning.
Without any more prelude the statement
is here given that desperate attempt is
now being made to patch up the differences
OF the Democracy. The great need OF the
hour for the party is harmony.
OF all the elemt n 8, persons and things
most obstlnateIy n the way OF harmony
are John R. Mel 81 and the Cincinnati
Enquirer. II the Enquirer has any influence
as Democratic paper, Hoadly ought to-
be showed under by fifty thousand. I'm.
fortunately for the Republicans, It's direct
influence as party organ is nil. But 1t 80
happens that in opposing (coyertly, but
none the less strongly Judge Hoadly for
Governor 1t is voicing the sentiment Of q
large portion OF the rock-ribbed old.timers
OF the State. The objections OF the proprie.
tor OF the Enquirer TO Hoadly are too
numerous 10 be here stated. They are said
to include an operation in Big Four stock.
in which Hoadly and N. L. Ingalls, badly
worsted John 4. Of course it would not
do for John G. Thompson 10 make personal
advances TO Mr.. Mclean. Isaac NJ. Jor-
dan cheerfully undertook the office OF
mutual friend. Messrs. Jordan and Nc
Lean helI a long conference on Saturday.
The result can only be known from future
developments.
Itis very firm belief among both Dem.
ocrats and Republicans Of the city who are
aware OF the pending negotiations, that
Mclean will insist on debating as to who
shall be nominated by the coming Con.
vention for the Legislature and the county
ticket.
Whether the existing differences Of the
Democracy be patched up or not the out
look Is that the machinery Of the party will
not wear itself out for Hoadly, but will
work mainly for the Legislature.
II is fact Of some significance that H.

the Democratic State Committee, occupied
room next to John G. Thompson's for
two days at the Gibson last week.
