GOSSIP ABOUT THE VISIT.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-This is democratic day
in political news centers. Victoria Hotel, where
Mr.. Cleveland is stopping, is the center of all
the attention. The democrats are delighted
with the attention he is receiving from tile rep-
resentatives of both wings of the phrty. Among
the callers were ex-Secretary of State Cook of
Rochester, q Hill follower, accompanied by OK
Chairman Fleckensteln of anti-snap fame, also q
Rochester man; Norman Mack Of Buffalo, also
prominent among those desiring to pay their
respects.
Chairmen Harrity and Whitney were among
the early visitors and are now il consultation
with Mr.. Cleveland. One Of the most promi-
nent callers and one whose movements
much attention was Col. VIM. Brown,
proprietor Of the Ddtty Ne,cs here. He is the
man who year or two ago succeeded In getting
Hill and Cleveland together OF dinner. He
had long consultation with Cleveland today
and afterwsrd visited State Chairman Sheehan,
who is looked to as Hills representative here.
1t is supposed that he is to again attempt to act
as pacifcator, and great reliance is placed in
his success in this line.
Up to this hour everything Is in the air, but
the number of callers from the ranks of Hill
followers gives Cleveland's friends much en,.
1t is observed that up to this hour very few
people have called on Mr. Cleveland.
Doorkeeper Turner Of the House was ats
democratic headquarters, but said he had not
called on MIR. Cleveland, though the hotel Is
only short distance away.
II don't know that shall call on him." said
Turner. II don't care much about that sort OF
thing. I expect to do all l can to elect him
and that is better than a mere call"
