Men are at work now on the
public records here preparing
reviews Of special portions of Blaine's
public career, wagon load OF printed
matter was delivered yesterday. The
committees Will, it is stated, first direct

tive Post, of Penns vlvania. Secre-
tary of the Democratic Congressional

growing candidate. Everywhere that |
have been l noticed that the ticket is
making accessions. New York is all
right.D
"What will Tammamy do?'
Il have not the slightest doubt about
Tammany. 1t will at the proper time come
out Tor Cleveland. You can take that for
an assured fact"
"Won't those scandals about Cleveland
hurt him!'
mot in the least. Their circulation is
not political warfare. The people don't
like anything of that kind. They are
nauseated with it. The better element of
the Republican party will have nothing
TO do with them. They are disgusted
that such method of fighting an oppo-
nent has been thrust into the campaign.

Mir. Post visited Gov. Cleveland and had
long talk with him. "He is a capital
man to talk with" said Mr.. Post, speak

suming and frank. There are no gilt
edged frills about him. He receives YOU
with a pleasant manner that makes you
feel easy; but there is sufficient dignity in
his bearing to deprive it of any air of
familiarity. He is a smooth and agree
able cOnversationalist, and is much bet
ter looking man than his pictures repre-
sent. He is tleshy, but not obese. In
fact, for man of his large frame he has
not too much flesh. He has, too, fine
expressive eye.O
