WAsuEGTON, February 9.-Fhe po'itlcia,,n,s
are not done taking about Governor nh
visit yet, and the remarks are both isvelsols
and uniavOrabIe TO the nah who y tne Gu,ei
Executive Of the Empire state. The VIM
neY dinner. the reception the next Day 70 Ine
Governor. the sudden departure OF Presr
deIt Cleveland for New YORK, all came 10
close together that many people are al ios,
10 know whether there Is enmity or goou
feeling between the President and tue Gov
ernOr. There seems n be no doubt IN me
minds OF the Leading politicians that Cleye,
land hurried OF TO New YORK u tfoiu
having 10 DO ANYTHING toward entertaining
Hin. But beth Cleveland and Hill were
guests at one OF the "sHellest" dinners
Whitney has given ,bis season. Tue secre-
tary OF The Navy arranged the whole tning'
though tho newspapers that are unirienuii
10 Hill are printing a lot Of twadde 10 tnc
effect that hin laid the plans 10 have ine
dinner given, nnd that It was 10 voc
interest Of David BIS canvas Tor inc

COMPLIMENTARY in the least 10 4 mas lhe
Secretary Whitney 10 say that be woula ie1

and an abundance OF mORey to entertain nis

Cleveland throughout the Administration
and remained in the Cabinet against

started about the President and ms ysuag
vile It WAS Mrs. Whitney who delendea
through the public prihtA The Cleyelands. II
il strange indeed Il Secretary Wnltney
would allow Governor Hill TO use him II the
Secretary did not recognize IN the OroNer-
nor staunch, true Demscrsl, and ono
WHO did his part by the whole Democratic
ticket in the last campaign. which ended 80
di.astrously for the national ticket. IL YVES
4 forezone conclusion that a nau with such
winning qualities 20 David Bennett I'M
would be elected Governor Of New
YORK. and but for the miserable mis-
management u the national campaign
and Cleyeland's consideration for lne
neacherous MugTumps the Denscrhs
would have retained control OF S1sirs here.
Governor Hi IS not mao. from All &C
counts. 10 cherish any amnesty tow'rd the
Cleveland crowd. The latter class are IN
forum ltely Inclined 10 tho opinion inst the
I'M following Lbifed Cleveland; but 1t ispt
80. Cleveland knitted himself. Arthur J..
GOrmsn and others pointed out
way Tor Cleveland 20 win, but be
would not reed the advice rendered
him by experienced politicians who had
won the victory 81 1884. Cleveland hAd
too much T. 90 with the noyices. Colonel
Brice, Bill scott. Ssd other rainboW'chasers
made him believe that he could not possibly
be beaten. and these people actually thought
the Democrats could carry Illinois aud Mics-
igan or the tari7 issue. Judge Thurman was
Il
OF German, Beck. Nest, BarRum, Morrison,
Mills. aud. indeed. all OF the big men in the
party. North and South. There was never
any show OF carrying Ohis. Thurman was
too old. Cleveland dictated that nominalisn
absolutely. IN fact. he demanded II. and when
some Of the senators named above remon-
ttfAted Cleveland remarked: +" must have
Thurman on the ticket with De. large
proportion OF the voters in eur party regard
me asa Mugwump, aud II We have sn old
moss-bsck Democrat like Thurman on the
ticket We will poll the full strength OF the
party." The St Louis Convention did not
want 10 nomir ate Thurman, but II had to.
II was Cleyeland's order. They had
a high regard for The Old Roman, but
thought his DAYS 81 Usefulness had passed.
Cleveland did nothing TO help himself. lie
did not think for moment that he could 10
beaten. The patronage was not welded 8"
II should hsYe been welded. II counted Tor
nothing. The tariff issue was sprung at the
wrong ;ime aud Cleveland offended the sol
der vete.
The events Of this week have caused much
speculation regarding the contest OF 1892,
even though the presidential campaign VIII
not sctivelY commence until 1890 or 1891.
OF course 1t IS too far in the future to ven
ture upon any predictions thar VIII hold.
No one doubts here that New YORK Will
have candidate In 1892. 10 will most
likely he HIN, and II net Hill then
q NAV be whitney. New Jersey aud
Connecticut will fall m lice with tue En-
pire State IN all probability. There is also a
strong sentiment in the West and South
AGAINST taking any Dau from the East In 1897;
MANY u the politicians in the west and
south think that tho iactiouA fights in
New York aud Brooklyn cities are
so bitter that 90 EmpTe-state man
ought TO be the candidate for President.
But the question naturally arises, Where IS
the man IN the Westi Not in Indiana. Net
ina Ohio. Possibly candidate NAV be de-
yeloped between nov and 1892. Congress
man Campbell. OF Ohio, viii be nominated
by tho Democrats for Governor OF tue
Bnckeye state this year. lie will probably
be elected. IL %, aud should he tben secure
4 reelection as Governor in 1871, be wouid
be a most formidable candidate for the presl'
dency. He Is just forty-sx years OF age.
Ia, served throe terms In Congress, and Is
able, polished, genial, and ambitious. iIe
Ia, means, and his wife Is one Of the lOyeliest
OF women At the capital.
Some Of Cleyeland's fool friends talk a. II
he ought to be nominated again In 1892.
This IS the thinnest meoushine Imaginable.
Cleveland has no more chance Of getting the
nomination ag2ia than Beast Butler. The
Democrats DO not want . man who had 80
much power and failed to use it. They sra
not IN humor Just no1 t. pull man "out
OF The SOUP" Not even the most ardent
ElriT reiormers are talking about Clevelsud
again. HIS race has been run, and his Adj
mluistratiop. whilst clean and honest, has
not been Democratic enough TO SUIT the
voters OF the party. All OF the politicians
are against bin, and ibis ends him.
The Republican senators have surely made
~ their minds, IL would seem. not 70
confirm Mr.. Abrahams. Of Virginia. who
was nominated last week 10 be Conn troller
Of the Curreacy. A vacancy will therefore
exist, and Harrison will probably name the
new Comptroller during tue first week Of
his administration.
The sale o. tickets 60 FAR indicates that the
inaugu al bail on the evening OF the 4th OF
March will be largely attended. The hotels
expert to entertain enormous crowds during
the Inauguration week and the proprieiors
are not making coatracts ahead.
