NEW YORK, Sept. 80. - Ex-President
Cleveland arrived in the city this morn
ing from Buzzard's Bay on the Fall River
lire steamer Pilgrim.
About 200 people wers on the pier to re-
ceive him. Mr.. Cleveland was accom-
panied by Richard Watson Glider, Elitor
of the Century, and Daniel j. Griffin OF
Watertown, Sergeant-at-Arms" Jimmy"
Oliver was at hand to receive Mr.. Cleve-
land and his friends and give them a
hearty greeting
The ex-Prtsi lent was hurried to n car
riage by Mr. Oliver In which. with Mr..
Gi der and Mr.. Griffin, he was driven to
the Victs ria Hotel, where he will put up
during his stay in the city.
The duration OF his stay here Is not vet
known. He will probably consult with
the Democratic campaign managers dur
ing the day.
When the ex- President reached the
Victoria Hotel he found himself the cen
ter OF a whirl of contending Dem ocratic
bosses of all grades, from National COM
mitteemen down TO ward leaders. The
onarl of the Tammany tiger, the grow OF
the disgruntled Mugwumps, the whispers
of the confidential Whitney, the COM
plants Of Chairman Harrity, the insinu-
ating murmurs of Mr. Grace, all assailed
his ears in discordant chorus. Echoes OF
these sounds long ago reached buzzard's
Bay. and the distracted and discouraged
managers of the Democratic campaign
are heartily glad that their ponderous
candidate Is in town SO that he can see
their troubles with bis own eyes.
Almost the first thing Mr.. Cleveland will
be told is that Chieftan Croker expects
him to hold fast TO the pledges with which
the candidate accompanied his abject
surrender To Tammany when he last
visited New York. These pledges were,
In effect, the control practically OF all
federal patronage In this city in the un-
likely event of Mr.. Cleveland's election,
and no interference with Tammany's abso-
: lutte control OF the municipal government.
III Mr. Cleveland is to stand by these
pledges he will be compelled to join with
Chairman Harrity In beseeching Mr..
Grace and the local leaders of the anti
snappers organization not TO nominate
an anti Tammany municipal ticket.

reports about lack OF money in Indiana,
