POLITICAL CIRCLES.
Review of Work Done During
the Past Week.
TIE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.
Cleveland Now in That City and Enthus-
iastic Over the Prospects
Campaign Opened.

New YORK. Oct 1.-The week politically
possibilities and that the possibilities of
the coming week may be problematic. The
foreground of the political field at present
is occupied chiefly by the Democratic
generals. The Republican forces lie back
and watch and wait for the movements Of
their adversaries. The gathering here of
the Democratic state and national COM
mitteemen, and the presence of Cleveland
and Hill, all contribute to the growing in
terest of the present Democratic move
nents here. The arriving of the Demo-
cratic clubmen for next weeks meeting
also adds to the spectacle of the Demo
cratic sortie.
Cleveland has not yet decided how long
he will stay IN New York. His stay will
be determined in measure, by the pro-
gress of the work on his new city resi-
dence. In any event he will remain here
till Tuesday or Wednesday and attend the
convention of the national association of
Democratic clubs. Since his arrival he
has seen nearly all the Democratic leaders
of the city and state, and large number
OF prominent politicians engaged in the
work of the national campaign.
THE POLITICAL CONDITIONS
in all parts of the country have been laid
before Cleveland by the Democratic ma
tional campaign committee, aud he is said
10 be well pleased with the outlook, espec-
tally in this state and the northwestern
states which the Democrats hope to carry.
He told Don M. Dickinson yesterday that
he considered Wisconsin, Michigan, Mime
sofa and Illinois debateable ground, and
eX pressed great pleasure with the work Of
the Chicago branch headquarters.
Cleveland has so far refused to inter
fere with the work of the Syracuse con
vention men. His friends say it is his in
tentiOn TO keep his hands of local politics
and leave the municipal fight to the men
engaged in it. He is confident the state
will go Democratic whether there is a
third local ticket or not. The talk about
his being adverse TO ticket in opposition
to Tammany is pure conjecture, based on
the statements of Chairman Harrity and
Dickinson. who are supposed to express
Cleveland'S sentiments.
1t is not altogether certain yet that q
third ticket viii be put in the field. Last
night the Syracuse convention men contin-
ued the committee which called on the ma
tioDal committee and instructed it to confer
with other Democratic organizations. This
may or may not mean a combination with
county Democrats and Voorhees, Demo
Gratis. The question will be decided during
the Coming week. The general opinion is
today that if Cleveland pursues the policy
Of noD-interference, Tammany will have q
fight on its hands this year. Croker says
he does not care whether there is a third
ticket or not, SO far as Tammany is co.,
cerned, but he is apprehenSive that among
Democrats it might result in the loss of the
legislature and United States senator.
The state committee is apparently taxing
no interest in local affairs. Its work is
confined to the state above Harlem river.
1t has left New York city's affairs 10 Tam
many hall. II is known, however, that
Howard Murphy. ir., and Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan are opposed to putting
up two Democratic tickets in this city.
