over the Democratic nominations there was
considerable political talk in departmental
circuits to-day. Wherever newspaper cor
respondents went in search of items the
question was propounded on every side,
what do you think Of the Democratic nom
lnees, and how does the political situation
look to you!" Enthusiasts declared that
Blaine and Logan would have ''walk over"
but the cooler and wiser heads expressed a
conviction that the struggle would be forced
and doubtful.
"This difficulty presents ITSELF" said a
prominent official to the GLOBE correspon-
dent, 1--WE will not have in the coming can
vass the services of our shrewdest managers
nor the counsels of influential and able leaders
such as pulled us through in the Garfield
Hancock contest Dorsey was genius in
his way. Say what they please of him he
was a remarkable man in mastering details,
and his courage was unbounded. He was
the very life of the last canvass, and, with
Geo. Gorham, John New, Dick Mccormick,
Jay Hubbell and others, made a strong
team. Steve Elldns and Joe Chaffee are
good managers, so far as they know, but
they are anything but political Napoleons
One Dorsey was worth ten-acre lot full of
Elkinses and Chaffees More
over, we had the active assistance
of Gen. Grant and Roscoe Conkling super
added to powerful religious sentiment back
OF Garfield Poor Grant is now unable to
help or hurt and Roscoe Conkling will prob
ably give his attention to the Drawbaugh
Telephone company, of which he is counsel
George Gorham is connected with contract
ing in his company and will be governed
hands full with Tom Hendricks in Indiana
and will be of little avail outside the 'Hoosier
state. II we only had the
old guard of stalwarts actively
employed in the coming canvas things
would look brighter. but with Carl Schurz
working the German clement, Henry Ward
l'Beecher the religious element and Geo. Will
liam Curtis and his followers kicking up
daddy, there is no telling where we may be
landed.r
THE CABINET CAUTIOUS.
Interviews with cabinet officials were not
productive to-day. Secretary Chandler pre-
dcted that Cleveland would be beaten in
New York by pronounced majority Lin
coin desired to reserve his opinion until
later in the campaign, when he might ex-
press it more deliberately. He evil
IDENTITY does not think the Republican
ticket SO strong as 1t would have
been with the name OF Lincoln on it. Attor-
ney General Brewster declined to be inter
viewed, saying he preferred to express no
opinion just now. Secretary Teller said he
did not know as yet what effect Cleveland
nomination might have on Democratic voters
nor what strength the opposition in his own
party would develope. Democrats were fam
GUS for reconciling family quarrels, but if
divided in New York they were beaten. He
thought Hendricks nomination would carry
great weight, in Indiana. Postmaster Gen
eral Gresham and internal Revenue Commits
sloner Evens said the Dem
ocratic ticket was strong one
and Republicans would make a grievious
mistake in undertaking it. They believed
Blaine and Logan would be elected, but it
could only be accomplished by hard work,
untiring energy and concord of action
Secretary Foger is very reticent and wouldn' It
receive visitors to-day. He even refused to
consult with Assistant Secretary Coon on of
fetal matters
| LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.
Men claiming to speak for labor oganiza-
tons stated that Cleveland would be boycott
ted by them, but this was deemed by other
labor members, who said that question
was not decided and would be determined
hereafter by proper authority. There would
be thorough understanding on these ques-
tions and no one was authorized to speak at
this time for any Of the labor organizations.
DEMOCRATS JOYFUL.
Democrats were enthusiastic today and
especially rejoiced over Tammany's defeat.
Senator Pugh, Of Alabama, said the party
would have disgraced itself had it submitted
to Tammany's dictations. The conduct of
Tammanyites at Chicago has rendered Demo-
Gratis very bitter towards them. All the
past sins of the organization
are recalled and denouced in unmeasured
terms. Several Democrats declared that
Tammany was responsible for the defeat of
Hancock.
Senator Garland spoke in high terms of
all the candidates before the convention,
but said there were reasons which made
Cleveland the strongest nominee. He be-
lieves the ticket will be elected. Represen-
tative Lowry, of Indiana, said 81 am de-
lighted with the ticket and platform. 1t is
just the platform wanted"
Representative Casey Young, of Tennes-
see, regards the ticket as the strongest that
could have been made.
''We don't know Cleveland on the Pacific
Coast said Representative Sumner, of Cali
fornia. 81 guess it's a good nomination.
'Its very respectable nomination. - said
Mr.. Holman in conversing with reporter
Sunset Cox expressed his entire satisfac-
ton with the ticket. He is Tammany man,
and his opinion as to Tammany's probable
action carries great weight. He prophesied
that Tammany would heartily support the
nominees. Speaking Of Ben. Butler, Sunset
Cox said, 81 presume Butler will bolt, but
those who think he represents the hard
working men of the country are
mistaken. Ny district in New York is com
posed almost entirely OF laboring men,
There is hardly man in the district who is
not an honest hard-worker, who supports
himself and family by the toll of his hands.
They are horny handed worhngmen. Not
one of these can Butler carry out Of the
Democratic party. When he claims that in
his protection expressions he represents the
laboring element of the country, it is a de-
fusion. These men know that the Demo-

best interests. They are always Democrats. -
''How do you ike the platform?''
SIT is clear expression of Democratic
principles / am thorough revenue re-
former and it satisfies me.''
