barely beaten in New York by less
han 10000 votes, and with the feel
ing that existed in the Republican
ranks, with like platform and candi-
date we could have swept the State,
but in the moment when victory was
in our grasp, the party listened to
Curtis, Jones & Co., and on
an Infamous platform placed an in
famous candidate. That Cleveland
is beaten is evident, but the masses
of the Democratic party are not re-
sponsible for it. lie is not, and was
not the choice of the Democrats of
New York. lie is the representative
of Schurz, Curtis, Jones and Beech
err. They knew as much about
Cleveland before he was nominated
as they know now. Honest Demo
Gratis are disguised and are leaving
to this quartctte OF purlsts I! 10
elect their chosen representative"
Leading Democrats of the State
Committee of New York and others
employed in the work of the cam
paign, admitted to your correspond
ent that nothing could check the
tide against Cleveland but a Demo
cratic victory in Ohio and West
Virginia in October. One who is
known from Maine to California,
from the Lakes to the Gulf states
that: "If OHIO snail go nepubncan
in October it may be safely set
down that New York will give
Blaine from $4,000 to $4,000 MAORI
lty.
These statements are but the re-
hex of the views of all who are on
the inside in Democratic affairs in
New York, and your readers can be
assured that with Ohio Republican
in October, the contest is ended and
Blaine will carry New York by a
larger majority than was ever given
a presidential candidate.
The Democratic National Com
mittee have several clerks employed
in Washington, nosing around in
the Congressional Library to look
and smell up everything possible
against Gen. Buffers public record.
1t is altogether likely that, as "Sil-
ver-Mule Barnum" is directing the
matter, if they cannot find the mat
ter wanted, it will be manufactured
''Morey-ietter" fashion, and Butte,
will be made acquainted with the
true character of the crowd he has
been training with for the past few
years.
Congressman Lynch, Of Mississip.
pi, has been in Washington this
week. He says that it is possible
that Blaine will carry that State il
November. The more and better
the Democrats down there become
acquainted with Cleveland, says
Lynch, the more unpopular he
grows, ana many Democrats OF the
better class declare that they viii
not support him.
The death of Mrs. Edmund Hud
son, Mary Clemmer,") which oc
CURED in Washington the first OF
| the week has caused general sadness
here. No Washington newspaper
correspondent was perhaps better
known throughout the country thar
Mary Clemmer.
1t is stated at the Congressional
Committees headquarters here thai
from the present prospects scarcely
one-third Of the members of tn,
present House will be renominateG
by their respective parties. This il
unusual as at least one-half are com
monty put up for reelection.
The White House is being thor
oughly overhauled and "tidied up
during the Presidents absence. NJ
head of the nation has done more
to make the Executive mansion &
healthy, comfortable and home-lik,
dwelling place than the present in
cumbent. 1t is SAID that President
Arthur has determined to make hi:
last winter in the White House the
gayest in its history. Gu.
