General Political Notes.

BALTIMORE. Mn, April Ex-senator Cor
mans position in the Presidential contest
continues to be the leading topic in politi-
cal circles here The independent Demo-
Gratis and the anti-Gorman papers in the
state do not hesitate to say that Cleveland
would make mistake by forming an
alliance with the Maryland senator, whose
policy on the tariff is known to be so
widely different from that of the OK
President. On the other hand German s
friends consider that Cleveland must have
Ihe assurance of the senator and other
practical politicians. German has received
etters from Democratic leaders in all parts
of the country inquiring whether, in the
event of Cleveland's nomination he will
work for him, and il requested, assume
personal direction OF the campaign. Cor
man said recently to several friends in this
city that the party could not afford to lose
New York and that something must be
done to harmonic the differences IN that
state.
The senator has undoubtedly consented
to help Cleveland, but at the same time he
has insisted that the strength of the Tam
many organization must be considered
and that the party must not snub Hill or
his followers. The senator believes in a
policy of Cancellation, TO carry out which
was the object Of his visit to New York the
past week.
A close personal friend of Senator Cor
man said to-day that the senator would not
be delegate to the national Democratic
convention. He will also resign as ma
tional committeeman from Maryland.
Senator Germans intentions are to keep
out of the routine work of the coming
campaign, so as TO be able to devote more
time to sizing up the field in general
way. He will thus be an invaluable ad
wiser of the committee.

tor Germans successor as Maryland's ma.
tional committeeman.

terview in the Post-E Express, says that Hill
now fully realizes that he cannot be nomi
mated under any circumstances and hecon
templates nominating Governor Flower
for President himself, after the first ballot
at Chicago. The interview continues;
"Mr. Hill has not yet concluded tc
adopt this course, although he is giving
the matter serious consideration. Some Of
his friends among the Tammany leaders
urge him to consent TO place Grover
Cleveland in nomination. They say that
this will be the most polite course fol
him TO adopt, as Clevelands nomination
seems inevitable If Senator Hill take.

secure the administrations support of his
own aspirations i'll 1896"
