WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Last Fri
day afternoon the President, accompa-
MED by Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs. Folsom,
and Col. Lamont, left this city for
New York to attend the business
mems meeting, which was wonder
fully large and enthusiastic one. I
have it from many sources that
the leading financiers of New
York are virtually unanimous.
in their advocacy of Mr.. Cleveland
Senator German and several other
distinguished politicians who have re-
Gently spent good deal of time in
New York City, say the Empire State
will give the President about ten thou
sand majority.
The letter written by Lord Sack
vile West to Mr.. Murchison, of
California, has already been the sub
ject discussed at two Cabinet meetings.
To this cate, no official communica-
tions between the two countries have
passed about the letter, but there has
been a great deal of talking and Lord
Salisbury has sent to Lord Sackville
West several direct dispatches de-
ploring the British Minister'S injudi-
ciousness. It is understood in this city
that Minister Phelps has had an in
terview with Lord Salisbury on the
subject. The possibility OF Lord Sack
ville's recall is extensively discussed
in several sensational quarters here
and it is rumored that Mr. Bayard has
sent cablegram asking his recall
At the State Department nothing lat
er than what is contained in Mr.. Bay
ards official letter can be learned.
The more conservative politicians here
do not attach very much Importance
to the letter and think it will not in
fuence score of Irish votes. A
great many think that the Hutchinson
letter is JOB put up by the Republi-
can National Committee and that
Minister West, being angry with the
President on account of his retaliatory
measures with regard to Canada, was
the more easily led into the trap pre-
pared for him. Ifthis surmise is true,
and / am inclined to think it is, the
only people damaged will be the Brit
ish Minister and the candidates who
are being run by the Republican Com
mittee. 1t is probable that the Presi
dent will have nothing'to do with it,
1t is certain that Minister West has
acted in manner very unbecoming a
diplomat in attempting to influence
votes of any kind in this country.
Mrs. w. II. Hazard, of Asheville,
N. c., is in the city for the winter in
order to superintend the education of
her young daughter, who is attending
one of the best of our local schools.
She is sister of the Hon. William l..
Trenholm, Comptroller of theCurrency.
Col. Trenholm recently returned from
visit to Asheville and horseback
ride through the mountains of Wes-
tern North Carolina. He is enthusi-
astic in his praise of the beautiful
mountain scenery of our State.
Mrs. Senator Vance, accompanied
by her son, Mr.. HarrylM Martin, has ar
rived at her home, 1927 Massachu-
sets Avenue, this city. Mr.. Martin
will take post graduate course course
at the Georgetown University. Mrs.
Vance will barely have time to get
her house in order for the opening Of
Congress and for the winter season.
Most encouraging reports are re-
ceived here every day from the prog
ress of the canvass in North Carolina
and of the popularity of the n National
Democratic ticket. Every day brings
IN rumors favorable to Cleveland's re-
election by a largely increased major
ity. GRANVILLE.
