WASHINGTON SPECIAL.
Prvates advices from New York give On
interesting statement of the political
scheming going on there among the am
bilious men Of the Democracy. Hill,
Cleveland, and Whitney are oil maneuver-
ing for the Democratic nomination three
years he.ce. Roswell Flower and other
friends of Hill are already out filling the
soil. Whitney, Lamont, and Cleveland
are laying plans for big operations in the
political field, with Whitney as boss. He
ts the most ambitious man, OF the trio.
He expects to succeed Hill as Governor
and then make o show Of boosting Cveve-
deep down in his heart Whitney believes
Cleveland is o dead cock in the pit, aud
that he has no future in politics. Before
leaving this city the late Secretary of the
Navy said it was o pity Cleveland should
go out OF Office without any friends ex-
cept the members of his Cabinet. The
late President, on the other hand, is firm
is his belief that he can be nominated and
elected, and is eages for the coming of
the day which, i'll his fond but Elusive
expectations, will bring him vindication.
Whitney's close friends understand that
all the efforts which are to be made for
Cleveland will in reality count one forthe
late President and two or three for Whit
ney.
Another interesting fragment of gos-
sip 10 the statement that Whitney OPP
the ambition of his father-in-law,
Senator Payne, for o reelection. Whit
ney thinks the Senator too old 10 60 into

the contest in Ohio will rouse further
prejudice against himself ms a member of
the Standard Oil family. Probably Father
Payne will lie induced to subside and
leave the Senatorship to- Cal Brice, il
Brice can succeed in buying it.
Among the Ohio statesmen ut the Capt.
toll there is q good deal of feeling about
this Senatorial struggle, and, strange TO
say, the Republicans arc half conccding
mans leadership of the party In that
State is becoming more and more selfish
as the days go by, and harmony is chiefly
conspicuous by its absence. Foraker's
friends have q curious theory about the
S~enatorship. They say Ohio goes DEM
ocratic every sixth year, or Just in the
nick of time TO elect o Democratic Sena-
tor. The Foraker fellows claim TO have
made the discovery that Senator Sherman
doesn't want to carry the State ON these
sixth years, preferring q Democratic col
league in the Senate 10 q Republican with
whom he would have to divide honors and
patronage.
GRovER HEARS FROM WASHINGTON
As n candidate for the Presidency Gro.
YER Cleveland need not expect any
assistance from the new State of Wash
ington. One day last week the late
President received a telegram from the
far Northwest which rntied his temper
painfully. 1t was from Charley Voor-
hoes, late Democratic Delegate in Con-
gless from Washington Territory and son
of the Indiana Senator. 1t was voor-
hecs who protested against the appoint
ment of young Beecher to n Treasury
Special Agency. Voorhees, said that the
man was n thief and his appointment
would be a disgtace to the administration.
Cleveland told Voorhees, not to talk in
that way, and there we're some warm words
about the matter. Last week, when
Beecher's populations became known to
all the world, Voorhees, wired Cleveland
that inasmuch as the President, who had
appointed Beecher, had had ample notice
that the man was q thief, it was now the
duty of the man who made the reckless
md disgraceful appointment to reim-
burse the Government and bondsmen for
whatever losses they hive suffered. SO
Tar Us is known, MI. Cleveland made no
