cyclopedia- Political Gossip at the Cap

w ASHlNGTON. FEB. 25.-Ihere Is mucn
gossip here as TO the ultimate results of
yesterdays convention in Albany. There
is firm conviction that Senator Hill will
not secure the Presidential nomination.
At the same time every prominent Demo
crat in the city believes that the
statement that Mr.. Cleveland in
tends to let New York go to the
dogs in the campaign and stick TO a
hope of election through the capture OF
certain heretofore Republican States in
the Northwest and the solid South is ab-
solutely true.
ExGov. Campbell recently told gen
tleman, who is now in Washington, that
neither Cleveland nor Hill could carry
New York that, in the first place, Mr..
Hill would not be nominated, and, in the
second place, Mr.. Cleveland, when he
himself was nominated did not propose TO
humble himself before the machine poll
tlclans ut -, : for the purpose of carrying New
York, which would be doubtful at best.
He added that every Democrat knows
that the same effort which would have
TO he made in New York to secure the
State would if transferred TO the North
west, insure permanently for the Demo
Gratis new territory of greater Importance.
Cleveland stock has gone up several
notches here to-day.

Campbell of Ohio and other lights Of the
party in this State. Grover was amply
protected from the newspaper men, and

When his special train drew up yester-
day noon at the station at Ann Arbor,
Mayor Doty and the city officials advanced
and presented a silver tablet conveying
the freedom of the city. At 3 o'cloce Mr..
Cleveland spoke in University Hall, which
was filled TO suffocation. Many students
took advantage of the great rush for ad-
mission and disposed of their tickets
readily at s. each. The subject of Mr..
Cleveland's address was Sentiment in
Our National Life"
IL contained this side slap at Hill: ''In-
terest yourselves in public affairs as u
duty of citizenship, but do not surrender
your faith to those who debase politics by
scofiiSS at sentiment and principle, and
whose political activity consists in at
tempts TO gain popular support by cum
ming devices and shrewd manipulation.
You will find plenty of these who will
smile at your profession of faith and tell
you tnat truth and virtue and honesty and
goodness were well enough in the old days
When Washington lived, but are not suit
ed to the present size and development of
our country and the progress we have
made in the art of political management.
BE steadfast.n
Cleveland, Dickinson, Campbell and
Glider were the stars of to-day's great re-
