THE DEMOCRATIC coNFeRENcE.


New YORK, Oct. 1.-The week polite
which is congested with possibilities
What the probabilities of the comm.
week may be is problematicsl The fore
ground of the political field is at presen,
occupied chiefly by the Democrats. The
Republican forces lie back and watch the
movements of their adversaries. Since
Mr.. Cleveland's arrival in New York he
has seen nearly all the Democratic leaders
of the city and state and a large number
of prominent politicians engaged in the
work Of the national campaign. The DO.
litical conditions in all parts of the coun-
try have been laid before Mr.. Cleveland by
| the Democratic national campaign com.
mittee, and he is said to be we'll pleased
with the outlook, especially in this state
and the northwestern states, which the

! Dickinson yesterday that he considered

Mr.. Cleveland has so far refused to in
| terfere with the work of the Syracue con-
vention men. His friends say that it is his
intention to keep his hands off of local
politics and to leave the municipal fight

lie has not even expressed an opinion on
local politics. The talk about his being
adverse TO a ticket in opposition to Tam
many is pure conjecture. based on the
statements of Chairman Harrity and Mr..
Dickinson, who are supposed to express
Mr. Cleveiand's sentiments.
1t Is not altogether cer; ain that a third
ticket will be put in the field. Last night
the Syracuse convention men continued
the committee which called on the national
committee, and instructed it to confer
with the other Democratic organizations
This may or may not mean a combination
with the county Democrats and the Voor-
his Democrats. The question will be de-
clded during the coming week. The gen.
eral opinion today was that if Mr.. lCleve-
land pursues his policy OF Don-interfer-
ence Tammany will have fight on its
hands this year Mr.. Croker says that be
does not care whether there is a third
ticket or not, so far ss Tammany is con-
cerned, but that he is apprehensive that a
fight among the Democrats might result
IN the loss of the legislature and the sen
atorship.
Preparations have been completed for
the meeting of the State League OF Demo-
cratic clubs at Chickering hall next Mon
day. 1t is expected that Mr. Cleveland
and Senator Hill will be present, although
no promises have been received from them.
All the arrangements for the meeting of
the National Association of Democratic
clubs. to be held in the Academy of Music
Oh Tuesday next, are completed. Secre-
tary Lawrence Warner was busy yesterday
making up the roll from the enormous
batch of credentials received. The reports
received Indicate that every state and terri
tory will be fully represented.
1t is announced tonight that both Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Stevenson will attend
the meeting of the State League of Demo
cratic clubs to be held here on Tuesday
next. AS a result the crowd in attendance

casion in the past. Arrangements are be-
ing made for 10000 delegates all who can
