They Are Arriving i'm Force Today and Are
Seen Everywhere.
INTERESTING TALKS WITH SOME OF THEM on
THE POLITICAL sITUATIoN-CLEyELAND AND
HILL-rHE LATTER FOR UNITED STATES sENA-
ToR-CHANCEs IN go. ETC.
Having finished picking the bones of this
Thanksgiving turkey the members of Congress
are coming III lively today. Between 80 and
100 have arrived and the Capitol is beginning TO
show the busy signs of an opening of Congress.
The democrats are coming in with joyous
smiles spread over their faces and the republi-
cans hold their countenances very well consider
ing The result of the election has got to be Old
story. but one which the democrats do not tire
of repeating. Every member newly arrived
has some experiences to relate. The subjects
talked about with much interest and occasion
ally with some indication of anxiety are the
policy OF the opening session, the Farmers
Alliance movement and thu eyer-present
topic of '92.
DEMOCRATS TO BENEFIT BY THE ALLIANCE.
Representative Mansur of Missouri, who
spoke for large farmer constituency, saws that
the democrats in the alliance as a rule believe
that they are going to get the relief the farm
pubEcans in the alliance. he says. gener-
ally recognize that in going into the
movement they have entered into revolt
from their old party ties. Those among them
who are not ready vet to appear in a complete
democratic garment are urging the third party
movement and some democrats are joining
them. He thinks. however, that if the demo
Gratis act wisely they will derive great benefit
from the alliance movement.
MISSOURI DEMOCRATS WILD FOR CLEVELAND.
He thinks the situation is one demanding all
the wisdom Of the democratic party, and tina.
they must think three times before they act
once. but he has no doubt in the world that the
democrats will elect the next President by the
largest majority ever given oany man running
for that office. He has no doubt about who the
man Will be. The people in my state" he said
land throughout the west for that matter. are
wild about Cleveland. No other man will do
for them. They will not listen to the name OF
any other. No Moses could stand mp against
him. VI all men be is the man of their hearts. "
CLEVELAND AND HILL IN '92.
There is a general impression among New
York men and those who claim to know some.
thing about New York politics that Gov. Hill il
going TO the Senate. Another thing noticeable
In the discussion of New York politics is the
absence of any show of feeling between the
Hill and Cleveland folks. Both sides seem t.
feel it to be wise TO appear friendly.
Representative Tracey. who Is a friend oi
Cleveland's. said today that he thought there
was very little bad feeling among the demo
Gratis in New York state. OF course. he expects
Mr. Cleveland to control the state delegation in
J2 IF he wants the nomination.
He said he thought Gov. Hill was
wisely saying nothing about the senatorship
but that he would be candidate and would 60
to the Senate. As for Cleveland he said that il
there was a demand for his nomination in 81
ho 70 i,,f fls
state Of New York which would prevent his get
ting the nomination.
NO GREAT ANTAGONIST TO CLEVELAND IN NEW
YORK.
"There is" he said, mo such antagorism t6
Mr.. Cleveland in the state of New York as man,
people outside Of the state suspect. There art
many friends of Gov. Hill who would like t.
see him in the presidency. but they would no
bot the ticket if Mr.. Cleveland wer,
to be nominated. There lis no snei
feeling to amount to anything. Mr
Cleveland would lose no more democrati,
votes than Mr.. Hill would if he were running
L do not think either would lose enough {,
make any difference. If Gov. Hill were run
ming for the presidency and the democrats car
ried New York city by no more votes thar
Tamnany did this last time. we should lose the
state. l think he would carry it by a larger
majority than that, but that indicates that there
| 10 about as much danger of losses to the ont
man as TO the other Gov Hill now has con
| troll of the machinery by general consent. Il
| there were fight over that control / thnl
Cleveland would win. The old Tilden element
| is for Cleveland. and when they set out through
the state to do a thing they are apt to DO it
But there is no fight and will be none If ;
demand from the country for Cleveland come.
| all New York will be for him.
THE WISCONSIN BLIZZARD ACCOUNTED FOR.
Representative Caswell of Wisconsin arrived
today. He said to a STAR reporter that he hao
just come out of blizzard but lie felt about
as well as could be expected. The school ques
ton" he said. did us up i'm Wisconsin, but tn.
tariff helped. There was no time to give the peO
pie a thorough understanding of the Mckinley
BILL and wha: was said about that hurt us in
Wisconsin to some extent as it did elsewhere. y
Speaking of the coming session he said that
the calendar was full of measures that should
be considered. and he thought the majority
would go to work in business-like way tC
clear the calendar as far as possible. He had not
given any consideration to partisan legislation
and did not know what might be expected as to
the federal election and the apportiOnmen,
bills. He merely thought the majority had
enough ordinary business to occupy their time
He said he thought the alliance would drop out
of politics.
HENDERsON's HARD FIGHT.
General Henderson of Iowa says that he had
hard fight, but that he won by having as full
a discussion of the Mckinley bill as possible in
his district, and by not hesitating to STATE his
objections to features of which he disapproyed
as well as explaining those which he did ap-
prove.
