ALBANY. Jan. 27.-The camp Of the Democrats
who fought for Grover Clevelend at the meeting
Of the Democratic State Committee last night had
rather dreary appearance this morning. All OF
the dead and wounded IL is true had been carried
behind the rampaIts, and the sentry at the rate.
Robert A. Maxwell, Superintendent Of the Tnsur-
ancc Department, told all inqurcrs that IL had
not been much Of fight after all il was a drawn
battle; Mr. Cleveland had not been much hurt:
IL was true, as rum0red that he WAS limping
about and was not quite spry usual, but
still he would be able to run for the Presidency.
In fact the supporters Of David b Hill had not
inflicted any wounds upon anybody Every body
in the Cleveland camp was WELL strong and cheer
fnl. Still occasionally the blizzard that wns
blowing brought to ones ears from the Cleveland
camp the sounds Of walls and lamentations
Moreover, there strong smell in the atmos-
phere Of linimcnt and whiskey.
But some Of the Cleveland men admitted that
Mr.. Cleveland had been badly defeated, and that
Mr. HIPS chance Of securing the Democratic nomi-
nation for the Presidency was much better Tho
fact that on test vote I'm the Democratic State
Committee of the Presidents own State Mr. Hill
was able TO get as many votes as the President

for President OF a large number OF Democrats.

Assembvman Sheehan. made no secret Of the fact
last night that Mr. Hill is candidate for Presi-
dent, and that they are hard at work to bring
about his nomination. They say that Mr. Clcve-
land may possibly, by the INSCRIPTIONS use OF

has Just been defeated IN louisiana and that as
Indiana is pressing Governor Gray for the nom5
nation for Vice-President, and Illinois is pressing
General Black for the same nomination. there i
further chance of delegates being arrayee
against Mr.. Cleveland.

just greatly strengthened himself here in Albany
