EVERYBODY BUSY.

Prominent Irishmen for Cleveland-Mr.
KelIy's Movements Elkins Democratic
Father-in-Law-Blaine DenOunced-Ger-
mans for Cleveland.
New YoRN, Aust l8.-The headquarters
of the Democratic State Committee at the
Huffman House are crowded daily. The
Executive Committee is busy, and the cler-
ical force is sending out documents by the
thousand. There is an increasing demand
for Carl Schurz's Brooklyn speech. Every
mail brings encouraging news from the ru-
raj districts. Chairman William E. Smith
says that the disatfection among the rural
Democracy is greatly oveyesdmated and
that the Independents and Republicans
who will vote for Cleveland are largely un-
derestimated, The following are few of
the lGtters received yesterday:
The most prominent Irishmen in the city
will shortly rally for Cleveland and Hen
dricks at the Academy of Music. The ar
rangements for the meeting are nearly con-
pleted. 1t will be one of the most represen-
tative gatherings Of Irish Democrats ever
held here. 1t is likely that Eugene Kelly
will preside, and the principal speakers will
be Daniel Dougherty, of Philadelphia; Con-
gressman Patrick Collins, Of Boston, and
Judge O'Gorman.
Mr.. Kelly's Movements.
Mr.. Kelly was at his Office on Park row
during the forenoon, and was called on by
Alderman Kirk, Edward Cahill, James j.
Martin, Commissioner Crooker and other
lieutenants. Mr.. Kelly said that the Com
mitree on Organization would probably be
called together during the first week in Sep,
tember. His lieutenants would not say
what conversation occurred between them
and Mr.. Kelly. One of them, however, re-
marked it was Mr.. Kelly's belief that Butler
would poll big vote in this county.
EIkins's Democratic Father-in-Iaw.
United States Senator H. G. Davis, Of
West Virginia. is very angry about the state
men;s heralied by Republican statesmen
against his fealty to the Democratic party.
Senator Davis happens to be the tather.in-
law Of Steve Elkins, Blaines campaign
manager, and that accounts for the rumOrs
circulated about the Senator'S lukewarm
ness. The Senator friends say that he has
never swerved from his Democracy, and in
this campaign will redouble his energies for
the success OF the party. The Senator has
already taken off his coat and is hard at
work
The Plan Did Not Work.
A delegate 10 the State Trade Assembly,
which met at Utica on the llth and 18th
inst, said at National Democratic Head
quarters Yesterday that the attempt of the
opponents of Cleveland to capture the Con-
vention was total failure. He said:
The city of Utica was flooded with copies
of the same anti Cleveland labor circular
that was circulated at Chicago, and an at
tempt was made to represent it as the voice
of the officers of the organization. This
was Indignantly repudisted by Mr.. Gawley,
chairman of the Convention; by Mr.. Blair,
chairman Of the Executive Committee, and
BY the Convention ITSELF which, with great
unanimity voted to denounce the attempt
10 turn it into a political machine in oppo.
sition to the views Of the great majority OF
the members. Mr. Gawley and Mr. Blair
wrote letters to the local papers to this
effect. On the way home ballot was taken
among the Knights of Labor which showed
a decided majority for Cleveland over
Blaine, and but few votes for Butler"
Blaine Renounced.
E. Beckwith, Of Westfeld, Herkimer
county, ex.member of Assembly, has re-
nounced Blaine and is out for Cleveland.
The Last Day for Election Lists.
Saturday was the last day Of the term
allowed to various political organizations in
which to make out their lists Of election in
spectors and poll clerks for the Police Com
missioners. The time will have to be In
some way extended, however, unless the

till noon only the Tammsny lists were COM
plete in all the assembly districts. The Re-
publican and county Democracy lists were
scattering, and from Irving Hall none had
been received The Commissioners have
until October lst to examine the lists.
