WASHINGTON, JUNE 1j, 1888.
 Representative Spinola, one of the ,hrewdest democratic members oi Congress-, predicts majority in New r ork city, of more than 60,000 for Cleveland and Thurman. MT. Spi- 1ola speaks from inside knowledge of the political situation in New ' ork city. having resided there al lis life, and having been one of tn, leaders of the party since he became old enough to vote.
 Who the republicans will put uE to be slaughtered is not yet appar' ent. John Sherman is far in the lead, having purchased all the dele gates that could be had, and he is with unlimited cash, fur. nished doubtless by his Wall Street friends, to go into the delegate mar Ilet at Chicago and outbid all com petitors for sufficient number to en. sure his nomination. IL is hardly likely that the convention will b, foolish enough to nominate Sher man: with him at the head of tn, republican ticket, the fight woulo not be spirited enough to make i Cleveland would beat him as badly as Grant did Greedy II 1872. Besides Sherman, no other has any considerable fol lowing, and from opinions expressed by leading republicans here it k probable that the nomination will b, the result of combinations made af ter the convention meets. If tha should be the case. it would be al to even attempt to mak' an intelligent guess as to who th' nominee will be, but have no hesita tion in saving that it will not be Johl Sherman.
 Two thirds of the republican Sen ators have a!ready left for Chicago Ito take part in the national conven |tion. Quite as large percentage O members of the House would hav gone except for the refusal by MT Mills to allow the tariff bill to be laio over for week.
 Indian Commissioner Atkins ha rendered his resignation and gone t' Tennessee, where he proposes t make an active personal canvass fo his election to the United States Sen. late.
 Two speeches were made on tn, fisheries treaty this week, one b, Senator Morgan, for, and the othe by Senator Hale. against it. Its further consideration has been post poned until the 2jth inst.
 Judge Thurman, who was expec ted in Washington this week, ha' postponed his visit until later, il order to be here when the Nationa committee meets for organization and to take part in the grand ratili- cation meeting which is to be held il this city on the evening of the 2t inst.
 The democratic congressional ex ccutive committee held their tirs' this week to make arrange. ments for the coming campaign There was a full attendance, with Senator Kenna in the chair. A sub committee consisting of Senator kenna, Representatives Lloyd $. Bryce, of New York, and $. 0. Fish CT of Michigan, was appointed tC meet and confer with the national committee which is to meet here or the 26th inst. The object of this is to so arrange things. that the work of the two committees the National and the Congressional, will not conflict with each other.
 Senator Kenna, after the meeting said to your correspondent: "We shall shortly have permanent head quarters in this city. This meeting 2 was held simply to appoint this com mittee of conference. We are send ing out thousands of documents, and we do not care to duplicate the work of the national committee. nor have them duplicate ours hence an under standing of the program of each Is necessary in order to bring out that harmonious work that always leads to success. Every one at our meet ing WAS sanguinc as to the result of the fight upon which we are now en- iering. We have magnificent tick ct, and it will create great enthusi- asm. With such man as Thurman for the second place, it can indicate else than a powerful and ticket. The republicans are all at sea. They don't know what they are goingto do at Chicago they will cut platform to fit he candidate or pick candidate to it the platform.
