ALBANY, Nov. 14.-With the conviction that
there further danger from the official count Gov
ernor Cleveands troubles begin Already the question
Is eagerly argued whether the Democratic party Is ent
to the fruits of Democratic victory whether few
uneasy Independents carry of the most gitertng
prizes.
II needless 10 say that the local and official opinion
Is Fundamentally against the latter contingency There
is talk Of Civil Service reform now except to reform
out the Republicans and reform in the Democrats No
doubts are entertained that in the long run Governor
Cleveland will be compelled accept this view. There Is
whispered fear however that In the agony OF the
pagn he was forced to make pledges to the Inde
pendents concerning the Civil Service which may
| prove embarrassing.
Cabinet talk is abundant especially "a to NewYorkers
Before the Ohio election It generally believed that
the Paynes to carry Ohio and that return for
It, the son-inaw, ex-Corporation Counsel, William C.
Whitney, was to be Secretary OF the
Treasury The failure to carry Ohio npped that gossip
with an untimey frost But Mr. Whitney's relations
with the County Democracy have been OF close and i'm
portan character and the triumph OF the County Democ
rscy brings him well to the front again. The talk about
him now Is with reference tn the Attorney yGeneralshtp
Roswell p Flower Is not suspected Of having worked
very hard for Cleveland and there have been good
many stories that what he did In doubtful Assembly
districts where he might consider that there chance
for gaining something for favorable Senatorial
when Garfield went n the universal assumption among
Sew-York Re publcans that the Empire state had
the right to the Secretary ~ the Treasury Demo
crrs here talk little IN the way. II such a
claim should be put forward Mr. Flowers would
undoubtedly bel mentioned but there IA shrewd susp
con that Governor Cleveland would not he likely 10 re-
gard 1t with his warmes and most distinguished consid
eration.
