Washington Nov. 24.-Only fortnight has passed
since the Presidential election. and already the lines
a, factonal cleavage In the Democratic party are
rore distinct and threatening than they three
onhs after the election OF 1854. The situation and
prospects are such TO alarm every Democrat who
,1sits Washington. There seem to be symptoms Of
trouble everywhere. not only in regard To the par
ceiling of official spoils among the faithful. but on
account Of questions of party policy as we'll To
dsv probably the former matter takes precedence:
few DAYS ago it seemed u be the latter.
There IS no doubt that the situation in New-lorK
is the one which eXcites graver apprehension ana
deeper solidude than any other To cool headed
democrats outside Of Ncw-York state. who are not

only fair 10 say that this feeling prevails among CloVe
land Democrats well among anti Cleveland Demo

United states Scnaorship. In this relation the as
agreeable fact is recalled that friendly personal and
roitical relations between Mr. Cleveland and senator
Inn have not been rc-cs;ablishcd. far as anybody
friends censure Mr. Cleveland and the atters friends
blame Senator IIiN and Democrats generally outside
the Empire state express deep regret and anxiety.
Both sides realize that there is imminent danger mat
