PERFECTLY SATISFIED.
The Feeling Of Grover C!eseland's
Friends.
Mr. DoRsHEIMER FEELS SAD
Mr.. Cleveland Recovered From His Re-
cent .Illness---GOYernor Hoadly
Going East

Albany, June 22.-The friends Of Gov.
Cleveland express themselves as perfectly
satisfied with the action Of the Saratoga
Convention and declare their full confidence
in the belief that he will be the Presiden-
tial nominee at Chicago. They assert that
it was at no time part of their campaign
plan to have the convention instruct It's
delegates in favor of Cleveland Attention
is called to the fact that ever since the Lin
coin campaign in 1860 all the
Democratic candidates for the
Presidency have come from
the East and nearly all from New York,
Seymour, Tlden and Hancock all being
from that State, and even Mcclellan being
regarded almost as a New Yorker, having
at one time been nominated as Saperintend-
ent of Public Works. On this account the
friends of Cleveland say that they purPosely
refrained from making any formal demand
on the National Convention for the nomina-
ton of another New York man.
A National Reputation.
Carving the argument further, they say
it is not part of their scheme to have the
name of Mr.. Cleveland 90 before the Chica,
90 Conventian as a New York candidate
simply. but upon the broader platform Of a
national candidacy. He has, they clam,
ACQUIRED a national reputation, and If ne
had displayed in any other State than New
York those qualities which so eminently it
him to lead the Democracy to victory, he
would be urged as strongly for the nOmina-
ton as he now is. He is not to be regarded
as a sectional candidate in any sense OF
that form, and if the Chicago Con
vention fails to appreciate the Gov
ernor in the light in which he will be pre-.
Sented-as a candidate for the people
they will not attempt to bolster him up as a
sectional or New York man. While rea-
sOning in this way the fact will not be lost
sight of that the vote Of New York is nee
esSary to secure Democratic supremacy in
the coming struggle and that Nr. Cleye-
land is, in their opinion, above ali men, the
candidate who will poll the largest vo,e il
this State in November. The Governor 5
friends thus expaeSS themselves fully salts
fed with the situation, present and pros
pectiye, and think majority of the dele
gates to Chicago will agree with them as to
his availability to lead the Democratic
hosts to victory,
Feels Bad.
The friends of Mr. DOrsheimer feel
keenly his defeat for delegate-at-large He
is reported as having said that he would in
all probability head the delegation to Chi
cago and would present Mr.. Clevelapd's
name TO the convention, and also that the
convention at Saratoga would insert plank
in favor of tariff for revenue only. 1t is
now asserted that Mr. Potter and Mr.. Cox
telegraphed to John Kelley to leave the
field open, and that Kelly replied that every
thing was serene, and that the action taken
did not mean that the question as to the
candidacy at Chicago was by any means
settled.
Gov Cleveland, who has for some days
been indispOsed, is now much improved.
Since the Convention adjourned at Saratoga
he has been flooded with letters and tele-
grams. principally of cOngratulatory char
acter, ana rendering him the support et the
writers for the nomination. Many of these
are from other States, the South being fully
represented. A Virginian dispatch says
that that State will do as well By Cleveland
as New York can possibly do. Quite
number of the letters are from Republicans,
one of whom suggests plan for repre-
sentation of the Independents in the Chi
cago Convention.
II is understood that the Governor will
leave his cause almost wholly in the hand
OF his friends His executive business
claims a large share of his time and atteu-
ton and it is not at all likely that a cam
paign bureau will be organized at the cap.
ital with the Governor as its chief director
II is expected that Gov. Hoadly, who is
reported bv telegrph as having lett Colum-
bus tor the East, will visit Gov Cleveland
before his return.
