NEW YORK, June 14.-When President
Cleveland decided to get married he threw
dismay into a camp of scheming New

OBrien chairman of the state committee.
Judge Muller, the governors law partner
and their friends have been for months
asslduously building up Hill party in the
state OF New York. They have made no
secret OF their intentions and desires to
bounce the president in 1888. John O'Brien
has declared time and again that even with
pan Manning actively engaged as the presi-

dents marriage has knocked them out of

power OF patronage. Their own machine
is built upon patronage. The governor has
exhausted all the offices in his Gift. Look

young wife will make the president ambi-

lavish hand to control New York.

stroyed by patronage. One of Gov. Hips
warmest friends said to the GGoRE cor.

governor to fall back and keep in line for
1892, rather than get crushed now. The

recognized that the move would be an ex-
