campaign. When Governor Hill asked
the authorities here TO use their in.
iuence to prevent two local tickets
being nominated In New York city,
and the administration people refused
10 interfere the Democrats were much
surprised. They cannot believe that
the President does not desire Mr.. Hills
election. Some OF them construe the
Presidents non-interferenoe In this
way. Mr. Cleveland In am bitlous for
re- nomination. He intends to hold the

~ of the way the President conducts
business. Not only do they criticize
his public course, but they are dis
pleased with his personal rec6 ption of

is intensely interesting, and tempestuous
tunes are predicted for the winter. The
approaching Congress-, it is thought.

isays he thinks tho President has good
reason for being suspicious cfthe Demo
cratic Senators. They have forced some
livery queer people upon him.
Others explain the uncomfortable
stiffness and reserve about Mr.. Cleve-
lla..d through the fact that he is un-
. familiar with public affairs, and thai
1t Is ifficult for him to carry on con
yersations upon national affairs witt
