ing from Buzzard's Bay on the steamer

der, editor of the Century, and DAME.
j. Griffin, of Waterton. he was driven
to the Victoria hotel, where hewill put
up during his stay in this city. EX-
President Cleveland and Mr.. Glider

were engaged for them. Among the
early callers this forenoon on Mr.Cleve-
land was Mayor Grace. The two had

about what he would do while here or
how long he would remain in the city.
would address the convention of Demo-
cratic clubs Tuesday next until he had
first seen the gentleman in charge OF
the affair. Senator Hill Is in town. 1t
is probable that the Democratic leaders
will make an effort to bring Mr.. Hill
and Cleveland together during their
stay in the city.
Local Politics Tabooed
1t is said that the conference between
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Grace this fore
noon related to the position taken by
the anti-snappers i'll reference to the
third ticket. MIR. Cleveland said after
ward that he could not talk about local
political position. Don NJ. Dickinson.
chairman OF the Democratic campaign
committee, was also an early caller
upon Mr.. Cleveland. He stated that
the Democratic national executive COM
mlttee would meet Mr.. Cleveland for Il
talk over the position. There will also
be some prominent Western Democrats
present.
This afternoon all the members of
the executive committee of the Demo
cratic national committee who are now
in town called OH Mr. Cleveland at the
Victoria hotel. They remained with
him for over an hour. They were Chair
man Harrity, Dickinson, Sheerin, Cor
man. Brice. Quincy and Smalley. They
left Democratic headquarters in twoS
and threes, and all got to
MIR Cieveland's Room,
within half an hour of each other. Be
fore the last of them went away ". G.
Whitney sent his card to Mr.. Cleveland
and was Immediately ushered up stairs.
This was his first visit today. Mr..
Whitney said 10 the reporters be-
fore going up to Mr.. Cleveland's room.
"Well, didn't tell you the anti-snap-
pers would be in line?' He refused,
however, to discuss the third ticket
question in New York. Lawrence Gard
iner, secretary of the National Assoca-
ton of Democratic clubs, was another
of Mr.. Cleveland'S callers. He said he
had not yet asked Mr.. Cleveland to ad-
dress the convention of Democratic
clubs Tuesday night.
Mr.. Cleveland's position in regard to
a third ticket is not known. He has eX-
pressed no opinion on the subject. But
Don NJ. Dickinson, with whom he had a
long talk, Is decidedly against the third
ticket project. Tammany men say that
Mr.. Dickinson expresses Mr.. Cleve-
lands sentiments in this matter, and.
that Mr.. Cleveland will insist that the
Syracuse convention men shall abandon
the project.
Mr.. Clevelandss Reception
did not end until midnight. and his time
was occupied almost constantly from
the time of his arrival until then.
Throughout the evening William c.
Whitney never left the room, but re-
manned with him, materially aiding in
the entertainment of the callers. To
add to the interest which kept Mr..
Whitney in constant attendance was the
fact that the action of the state commit
tee had been foreshadowed, and the fact
that crisis in New York state politics
had been reached, a state whose cleo
toral vote it is so important to secure.
During the evening representatives
OF both the regular state organizations,
end those who sympathize with the
leaders in the Syracuse movement
called. Among the former were Attor-
ney General Simon w. Rosendale and
Robert B. Roosevelt, treasurer of the
Democratic national committee, and
among the latter were Franklin ID.
Locke, of Buffalo, and G. G. Baldwin,
treasurer Of the county Democracy.
After the adjQhrr Fient of the state
committee, Mr.. Croker, accompanied by
Commissioner of Accounts Michael T..
Daily, hurried over to the Hotel Victoria.
and Immediately went to Mr. Cleve-
