be vote in tho Convention against
him."
s'Then you do not regard Governor
Hill as a candidate?"
ono; Governor Hill has never been O
candidate. Some of his friends and D
fow of Cleveland's enemies have tried
very hard to bring out q boom for Hill,
but there is nothing in it,"
"What about tho investigation of
charges against Governor Hill?"
''lt amounts to nothing. Hill raised
soD.e money for campaign purposes, but
there was no wrong committed"
THE CLEVELAND BOOM.
GLOW about the independent vote?"
"In 1884 there were many shrewd,
careful, quiet men, who were not politi-
clans in any sense of the word, who
voted for Blaine. Among this class
there existed a decided feeling whether
it was proper and safe to elect q Demo-
crat to the Presiden' ial chair on account
Of the financial and business outlook.
Many of this class who did not like
Blaine voted for him. Now they see
that the country is safe, and this fact
will largely increase Cleveland's vote
among what old Governor Tilden used
to call the Independent votes. On the
other hand, Cleveland will lose some
votes i'll the Eastern States owing to the
tariff question. 1T will be close fight
N Connecticut, but [ think we will win.
AS 10 Indiana, | am in doubt, as l know
very little about that State"
RANDALL AND THE GERMANS.
GLOW about Sam Randall and his
fricnds?"
"RandalI is all right He and Scott
are having personal fight in their own
State. However, Randall is as good q
Democrat rs lives in the Republic, and
sound, sensible man."
"What party will got the German vote
this year in New York;"
"Iho liquor question in my State will
give 20, 600 votes to the democratic ticket.
Those Germans who have always voted
the Republican, ticket arc now with our
party. They think that drinking glass
of bcer, even on Souday, is not crime,
although the Republican party thinks
SO.
GOOD WORD FOR MIR. CLEVELAND.

Govcnor Tildcn. lie is one of the few
men in this world who would not do
what he Thought = be wrong 20 be elected

THE NEW YORK PRESS.
"What New York newspapers will
support Cleveland?"
"Iho World, the Times, the Star, the
News, the Post, the Herald, and probaly
the Sun. Brother Dana may mourn for
Il month or SO. but he will come around
