The Democrats are delighted at the show.
Ing OF bankers for Cleveland, as they argue
from this that money for campaign pilr-
poses will be more plentiful than In the
past. They effect 10 believe. too. that Sec.
rotary Folger will not aid the Blaine ticket
materially. Senator Beck said: "Folger
won't open the Treasury for Blaine. II
was Blaine who advised Republicans TO
bolt Folger when he ran for Governor OF
New York. and now The Secretary Is glad
OF a chance 10 give Blaine dose OF the
same medicine. Besides, FOlyer. no doubt,
wants Blaine 10 see what HI OF a runner
this man Cleveland is before the people,
y. The impression seems TO be that ex-Sena-
tor Wallace will be elected chairman Of the
National Democratic Committee. On every
hand opposition to the rejection Of Mr..
BIrnum is expressed. lie Is not popular
with the party, and there Is great dissaiis-
faction at his past management. In 1880
IL was wei undersi0Of that General Han
cock wanted ex-senator Wallace for ch1ir-
man. hut he was persuaded 10 prOpitiate
the TIlCen men by asking them 10 select q
man for the place. Barnum then got H.,
and Il was openly charged that he arranged
the Tilden dodge 70 put himself In again.
II was REPRESENTED 10 Hancock that Ti'd' n
would feel cOmplimented az having his
management continued.
II is thought that Governor Cleveland
prefers Manning, OF New York. But the
understanding is that he (hanning) does not
want the position. He has promised to de-
vote his time TO the canvass and to aid the
committee TO the full extent OF his ability.
but does not want TO he the responsible
head. From good authority it is learned
that Mr.. Randall iOrbids the use OF his name.
lie will not stand IN Mr.. Walac.'s way
At Chicago Dir. Randall was ably
and loyalty supported by Wallice,
and, il Is said. The former will now
do all he can to have the latter made
chairman OF the committee. For many years
the Wallace and Randall factions OF the
Democracy in Pennsylvania autagOnized
each other at every Convention, but the
hstchet has been buried aad the best Of
feeling now prevails between them. II
was hinted that Wallace, prompted by old
TiyalIies and animosilies, would "knIfc"
Randall at Chicago, but lie proved to he
the most determined champion OF the eX-
Speaker. Mr.. Isandalfs friends now say
that he would he ungrateful TO permit the
use Of his name for "a position that Wallace
wants, and that the later has the eX-Speak-
er's assurance Of bis cordial support.
WHAT PROMINENT DEMOCRATS SAY.
Representative Foran. OF Ohio, dropped
into the Democratic headquarters to-day.
lie says that Cleveland is not the man he
wanted nominated, but that he will win.
lie says the ticket is strong. and will in
crease in strength every day. Randall was
the man Mr.. Foran wanted. He says that
Thurman is great man, but was not great
enough TO keep ont Of little local SQUAD
blcs, and to that owes his failure to get the
nomination. He was unwise in his open
opposition to Payne and Hoadly.
ELAINE CAN'T CARRY NORTH CAROLINA.
"TbeTe is no foundation for the cllim
that Blaine can carry North Carolina" said
a delegate from that State to the Star man
this morning. "The Democrats have the
State by ten thousand majority. Tariff!
Wen, they won't fight about that. The
State Is for mild protection, but they are
satisfied with the platform adopted at
Chicago"
