W WASHINGTON, ~. ", CtptthbcI L.
Secretary Bayard said to-day that he
had no official information IS to the re-
lection OF the Chinese treaty, and, in
the absence OF any telegram FROM the
American Minister in China. he declined
to discuss the subject. The members Of
Congress from California seem well
satisfied With the news, and are of
opinion that il the Chinese Government
refuses to adopt the treaty now rendered
it it will never have another oppor-
tunity OF accepting one so fayora-
bic. They say that the American people
are almost unanimous in their determi-
nation to exclude the hordes of China
from this country, and that il new
treaty is ever negotiated it will prohibit
the landing OF any Chinaman except the
official representative of that country and
his suite. They attribute the rejection
OF the present treaty to British influence
with the Chinese Government, and are
inclined to be very grateful to John Bull
for his interference.
WHITNEY AND HILL.
The statement made by tue Brooklyn
Citizen that secretary Whitney has re-
fused to allow his name to be used IN
opposition TO Governor Hills before the
New York Convention, and has expressed
his hope that Hill will receive the nomi-
nation, is generally credited here in
Democratic circles. 1t is said that a
strong effort has been made by some
Democrats of the ex-MayOr-G Grace school
and some mugwumps TO induce
Mr. Whitney to become a can
didate but he has declined their
advances, and told them very politely but
firmly that he does not propose to put
himself in the role that Secretary FOlger
played so disastrously under the Arthur
Administration, and which resulted in
the election OF Mr.. Cleveland IS Gov
ernor by about two hundred thousand
majority. The President and his Cabi-
net are not at all disposed to interfere
with the State elections, and so far AZ
New York is concerned the Democrats Of
that State must select their own candi-
date for Governor, and il his name
should be Hill Mr. Cleveland will be well
pleased.
NEW YORK IS ALL RIGHT.
From all accounts the prospects in the
Empire State are very promising just
now. Sunset Cox has Just returned from
there and predicts that the State will
give a large Democratic majority. tie
thinks Dir. Cleveland will make great
gains in New York city in the Hebrew
and German vote, TO say nothing OF the
Irish. The Hebrews Of that city, he
SAYS, are nearly all engaged in com
mercial business, buying and sell
ing. They very naturally want
to buy where they can buy the
cheapest, and the tariff stands in their
way. sir. Cleveland proposes to remove
this obstruction TO n large extent, and his
policy suits the merchant and the store
keeper. The Presidents message, he
thinks, pleased the Irish voters, who
have been dissatisfied with the report so
industriously circulated by the Republi-
cans that the Administration was too
friendly with England. They see now
that MIR. Cleveland is the bold champion
of American rights and interests against
all nations
