Cleveland Worried.

A special from Washington va the Phla-
dclphla Press says
The President is very much worried over
the continued assaults made upon the Ad-
ministration by Democratic newspapers
because Encouragement Garland is retain
ed in the Cabinet. lie had expected the
New York SIN aud New York World would
cease their attacks upon the Attorney Gen
eral as soon as it became evident that the Pre-
sident would not ask his resignation, but the
former newspaper is famous for its staying
qualities and Editor Pulitzer shows no dis
positio to stop the warfare. 1t is under
stood that his supply Of Pan Electric
ammunition is not nearly exhausted The
President was hurt by the cartoons published
in Harpe''8 Weekly, his ally during the cam
paign, and in Life and he fears lest Puck shall
follow suit aud fire heavier pictori al broad
side into the lnckless Attorney General.
1t is reported that the President was a few
days ago very anxious to secure newspaper
backing for the Administration during the
present critical period, and for that purpose
several editors were brought to Washington
and posted on the merits Of the controversy
from the Presidents standpoint. Colonel
Mcclure, of the Philadelphia Times, visited
the President not long ago, and had plea
SAINT chat with him. Upon his return to
Philadelphia the editorial columns Of his
paper were ably devoted to defense OF the
Administration. 1t is not known that the
subject of Pan Electric Telephone stock was
mentioned between Colonel Mcclure and the
President. In fact, it is said the main OBJ
ject of Colonel McClure's visit was to
impress Mr.. Cleveland with the fact that
Ex-senator Wallace is the most available
man the Democrats of Pennsylvania eau
nominate for governor.
The failure of the President to act prom
pity in Mr.. Garlands case will seriously

make it necessary to demand the retire
ment of the Attorney General. 1t will he
said, should Mr.. Garland's resignation now
be accepted, that Mr.. Cleveland was forced
by public sentiment to do what he should
Immediately have done Of his own volition
the moment he learned of the peculiar con-
uection Of the Attorney General with the
Electric enterprise. He can gain out
little credit at this late stage Of the proceed
ing by removing Mr.. Garland, and as long
as he permits that gentleman to remain at
this head OF the judicial Department his
Administration will be regarded wthsuspic-
iop aud dis,ayor
Besides, the President is harassed by the
es'at.e egs..sg be hes insitedI WITH the Senate
anent the 90, hrmation Of biz apps 'ntiaeis1e,
aud he is in rare trouble because the Demo-
cratic senators and representatives in Con-
gress have openly refused to accept his sug-
gestion as TO the financial policy of the Gov
erument The Democratic majority I'D the
House will refuse to suspend the coinage of
silver, aud the Democratic senators are
making bold war against the administration
OF the national finances by the Secretary of
the Treasury. Mr.. Cleveland is dissatisfied
with his party and his discomfort is mani
tested in the manner with which he treats
members of his party who differ from him
on various questions. He is said to be brus-
que, impatient and severe with gentlemen
who venture to crtieise his actions Prom
ineut Democrats secretly express the fear
that before Congress adjourns there will be
a rupture between the President and the
: Democratic party in Congress-
