now. One hears it not only around
the Capitol aud in the hotel lobbies,
but in the street ears, stores and sa.
looms the presidential question ia dis
cussed. News comes here from all
over the country that the Democratic
masses are Tor Cleveland. | do not
doubt that it is SO. But the politi.
clans of tho ID Il. Hill school are or.
gahlzlng with view of doing every
thing to beat Cleveland. Hill him
self is very active i'll this work.
While he does not like to admit it, be
sees that he cannot be President, and
that being SO he wants to keep it
away from any popular Democrat;
the story OF dog in the manager But
the shrewdest politician here, and in
my opinion, the abiest and boldest
tnctician in tho country, not except
ing Mir. Hill, who is noted for his
adroitness, takes no stock in Hills
candidacy. l refer to German. At
one time it was believed that Cor.
man was for Hill MS against Clevo-
land, but this WIS not true. No ono
can tell whether he is for Cleveland
or not. There is no mistake about
his attitude toward Hill. He is EN-
phatically against him. Said IL popu-

paper which is booming him.

be nominated by acclamation."
Congressman Warner, of New

could Cleveland carry New York if
he was nominated, "Yes, sir; he could

only Democrat who could do it. Hill
certainly could not carry New York

his style. But the Democrats of New

Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, is
