New YORK, September Sat 1880 O'clock
this evening Lieutenant-Governor Shee-
han, Richard Croker. and Edward Murphy
were the distinguished trio who, as far as
could be learned. had made their first call
on Mr.. Cleveland since his arrival. Mr..
Whitney's messenger had been around the
hotel from early in the evening. He was
non-committel as to whether Mr. Whitney
was upstairs. It is said however, that he
had been with the ex-President since 2
o'clock.
Mr.. CLEvELAND's ARRIVAL
Mr.. Cleveland, accompanied by Don M.
Dickinson and Private-Secretary OBrlen,
arrived in this city by the Fall-River
steamer Pilgrim this morning. There was
only the usual crowd of people gathered
at tho dock to meet relatives or friends,
and but few recognized MIR. Cleveland,
who, accompanied by Messrs. Dickinson
and O'Brien, walked quickly TO the road
way of the pier, where they entered car
rage.
Mr.. Cleveland's departure from Gray
Gables was great surprise. and the fact
of his intended visit TO New York was not
learned until after the party had left Buz::
Yards Bay. Mr. Dickinson had arrived
there at noon, and after two or three hours
conference with Mr.. Cleveland, the party
boarded the 8 o'clock train for Boston.
The ex-President comes on here at MIR.
Dickinson's request IN order TO consult
with some old Democratic leaders.

tel, where he engaged rooms for to-day and
tomorrow. He will return to Buzzard's
Bay Saturday. His first caller to-day was

rick. and the three had long conference
with the eX-President. Senator Brown
said to-day 10 a reporter: " have no doubt
but that Senator Hill will come around
all right, as will all who were opposed 20
Cleveland's nomination. Hill may be con-
sidered peculiar, but he will be found IN
the right place when the campaign ends.
The Democrats are getting together every
where, and the outlook Is bright"
William c. Whitney had a long conyer-
sation this morning with Edward Murphy,
Jr.. in tho Hoffman House. and afterwards

A DEMOCRATIC LOvR-FEAsT.
There were six distinguished Demo-
Gratis who sat down TO dinner at 7:45 p.
M.-to what all orthodox Democrats hoped
would be a love-feast. One of the latest
arrivals at the dinner was Wilson BIssell.
of Buffalo, Mr.. Cleveland's old-time law
partner. He reached the hotel at 9:05
p. NJ. and proceeded at once to the
dining-hall. Senator Brice sent up his
card at and received the reply
that Mr.. Cleveland WAS at dinner, and the
card would be presented in a few minutes.
He did not wait He said, however. that
he did not attach any special significance
TO the dinner. "Ot course" he added,
"where the big fish splash in the water,
there will always 6e more or less of rip
pie. see, however, no cause at the pres
ent time for any fireworks"
TREATY or PEACE.
The dinner was not concluded until
1880 o'clock. From all that could be
gathered from various sources the result
of the conference. which lasted unul
midnight, was that treaty of peace was
signed between the two factions Of the
Democracy in the state. and it is said that
Senator Hill and his representatives have
been placated. and that the Senator will
speak IN the coming campaign.
