were engaged for them. Among the

brief conference, after which Mr.. Grace
left for his office down town.
Mr.. Cleveland, when seen this after
noon by reporter, could tell nothing

how long he would remain in the city.
He could not tell either whether he
would address the convention of Demo
cratic clubs Tuesday next until he had
first seen the gentleman in charge OF
the affair. Senator Hill Is in town. 1t
is probable that the Democratic leaders
will make an effort to bring Mr.. Hill
and Cleveland together during their
stay in the city.
Local Politics Tabooed
1t is said that the conference between
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Grace this fore
noon related TO the position taken by

well, didn't l tellyou the anti-snap-

however, to discuss the third ticket
question in New York. Lawrence Gard
lner, secretary of the National Associa-
ton of Democratic clubs, was another
of Mr.. Cleyeland'S callers. He said he

Mr.. Cleyeland's position in regard to
third ticket is not known He has eX-
pressed no opinion on the subject. But
Don NJ. Dickinson, with whom he had
long talk, Is decidedly against the third
ticket project. Tammany men say that
Mr.. Dickinson expresses Mr.. Cleve-
lands sentiments in this matter, and
that Mr.. Cleveland will Insist that the
Syracuse convention men shall abandon
the project
MIR. Cleveland's Reception
did not end until midnight, and his time
was occupied almost constantly from
the time of his arrival until then.
Throughout the evening William C..
Whitney never left the room, but re-
NAMED with him, materially aiding in
the entertainment of the callers. To
add to the interest which kept Mr..
Whitneyin constant attendance was the
fact that the action of the state commit

that a crisis in New York state politics
had been reached, a state whose cleo
toral vote it is so important to secure.
During the evening representatives
of both the regular state Organizations,
and those who sympathize with the.
leaders in the Syracuse movement.
