SARATOGA, August 6.-[Exclusive. i
The air at this famous resort evidently has
not passed over the fabled furnaces in the
regions Of his PlutOnic Majesty. Or if they
have, some colder current through which
they passed has robbed them Of their caloric.
These few rambling remarks are intended
to convey the idea that the weather here is
cool. 0vercosts and heavy wraps are in
style, and the seductive ice cream Seduees
not. For this the young man is truly thank
ful, and his songs of praise do ascend con-
tinnally. But the girl draweth her cor
set closer and bewaileth the evil days upon
which she has fallen.
The man at the bar also is disconsolate,
for ice is Stunned, and the frigid cocktail
and CONCEALED juhp are forgotten. The ho-
tel proprietor mouTneth, and daily he goeth
about in sorrow. The creditors know not
his lair, and the waiter is king over all, and
behold, the cook is his prime minister.
The Politician.
The politician seeketh the quietest place
in the land and cometh to Saratoga He
finds secmsion here in illimitable quantities.
He also finds John Kelly. Within the past
few weeks Kelly has come to be a bigger
man than Presidential candidates. For
days past prominent Democrats have been
arriving. Mayor Harrison is expected to-
morrow. Tonight he meets Cleveland at
Albany There are some significant move
ment noticeable among the Democratic
elements already here. Hendricks seems
the focus around which all these lights
gather.
Dan Manning made pilgrimage here
yesterday. This evening Roswell P. Flower
is at the Grand Union. He and Hendricks
have been in consultion for some time
Many other leaders of the rock-ribbed
forces are here. Consultations are the order
Of the day, and the air of profound mys-
tery which the Democrats SEEK to
throw around all their movements
only serves to intensity the in
tercst. A gentleman in position
TO know, assures your correspondent that
there is regular internal conflict going on
among the leaders over John Kelly. Tan
many has stated its ultimatum. The New
York City patronage must be given it or
out it goes, bag and baggage, from the
Democratic camp. Cleveland and one
element of his followers are disposed to bid
Tammany 90, and say Good riddance Of
bad rubbish" Hendricks, on the other
hand, insists that Tsmmany must be se'
duced back into the fold at any cost.
1t is now known that while
Cleveland and Hendricks were hold
ing their first interview in Albany the other
day the matter was touched on-very
slightly TO be sure. yet still enough to
evince that the head and the tail of the
ticket differed widely in their views as to
the best policy to be pursued. There is
serious break in the Democratic harmony
somewhere, and whether the genial Man
ming, who is anti-Tammany, or the subtle
Flower, who is Kelly first, last, and forever,
can unite on a line of policy that will
straddle all the issues and satisfy the varied
elements remains to be seen. From in
formation in your correspondents posses
sion you can look for some rich develop
ments from Saratoga very shortly.
