Mr.. CLEVELAND UNDIsTURBED.

Gossip of Politics.


Gossip OF Politics.
Recent developments among Democrats
in Washington, says a correspondent of the
Boston Transcript. who are opposed to
Cleveland. indicate that they are quietly
organizing in different sections of the coun-
try to defeat his denomination. New York
appears to be the center of this movement.
This is more strongly manifested by the
presence here of a number Of prominent
New York Democratic politicians, among
whom is ex-Mayor Cooper. He has been in
conference with representative Democrats
from the Pacific slope, Kansas, Iowa, In
diana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia,
North Carolina and other Southern States.
The result of those conferences emboldens
the ex-mayor to say that Cleveland chances
are not only diminishing, but are on the
wane. The choice of this opposition seems
to be Governor Hill, although thereare some
preferences expressed for Hewitt. Among
the reasons assigned for this opposition are:
First, the Presidents free trade message.
which many Democrats in New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ala
bama, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana do
not approve; second, his failure TO satisfy
the demands Of the spoilsmen. The Presi-
dent is fully aware Of these intrigues. and
is apparently undisturbed by them He
and his close political friends claim that his
denomination will be more Of q necessity

The Former the Unanimous Choice Among
the Committeeman Hi Men Hard TO

All reports from the gathering Of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee in Washing
ton agree in saying that there is not a Hill
man to be found there, but that everybody
in atten dance predicts Cleveland's renom-
nation by reclamation. This comedies with
the political news Of the day from all sec
tons of the country. There is not TO DO
found anywhere outside this State Dem
ocratic newspaper which has even a re-
spectful word for Governor Hills Presiden-
tial pretensions, or one which opposes Cleve-
lands denomination. Within this State, the
only opposition to the President comes from
the Butler organ, with its 3,499 votes. and

Good Words from u Republican Source.
Il.o Ilhilnlol..hi. l..I.-.-...-L d. Lii,


The Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep.), which
has severely commented on the Presidents
failures as a civilservice refOrmer, says on
that subject During the first year it is
unquestionable that the President held his
own admirably, and that, though he rapidly
lost the favor Of the average partisan, he
steadily gained in the respect and admira-
ton Of anintelngent friends of good govern
mept- There can be no doubt that the Presi-
dent meant at the time he made il to keep
all of his civilservce reform pledge, and
afterwards tried to do il. but was overborne
by his party. IL has to be conceded that he
has not only removed faithful and efficient
Federal officers without cause, but that he
has practically made clean sweep of such
Officers without regard TO their fidelity or
efficiency. But though the truth compels
that to be said, It is but just TO him to recog-
nize that civilservice reform has not gone
backwards but forwards during his admins
tration, and II is not true Of him to say, as
an esteemed radical Republican contempor-
airy does say, that 1t Is question whether
President Cleveland cares any longer to
DC considered friend Of civil-service re-
form"

None of them seems TO doubt the Maine
states mans sincerity. All, however, think
that clever scheme to bring about his re-
nomination is being engineered by his most
jealous followers. The plan is TO encourage
as many States as possible to bring out can
didates for the nomination, and to get as
much strife as possible in the convention at
Chicago, secure deadlock, and after a
long wrangle flash the name of Mr. Blaine
upon the sembly and secure his renomiua-

doubt that it is entertained by large num-

who are in favor of his denomination. One

have asked u number of members on the
floor of the House who have made the same
suggestion to me why they thought it, and
no one could give me good reason. 1t may
be it comes from q belief that it would be
impossible for a man who could secure a
nomination without effort to step aside and
see II pass him solemnly like a funeral pro-
cession. i was a great Blaine man in 1876,
1880 and 1884. do not believe it is wise to
