for breakfast tomorrow morning, arrange
ments are beng made to give the senator

gramme Of his journey contemplates no
speeches until Jackson, Miss, is reached, he
will be infexib!e indeed II he does not yield
TO their pressing invitation for five min
utes talk after rising from the
breakfast table. In the same way the
people of Bristol, Knoxville, Chattanooga,
and Birmingham are preparing to give the
senator an ovation as his train passes
through, and II bis rule to make no five
minute speeches be not more honored in it's
breach than in Its observance, his tour will

Atlanta, Athens, Montgomery, and indeed
nearly every other prominent city en- route
have extended pressing invitations for
him to make a stop of few minutes and
address their people. Senator Hill has.
however, declined all these invitations, as
he must be in Savannah to attend
the annual banquet of the Hibern-
ian Society on st. Patrick's day, 30 that
any stop en- route to Savannah other than
at Birmingham will be an exception from
the programme and will be necessarily
brief

GILRoY ON M'CLURE's INTERVIEW.
ATLANTA. Ga, Marcn 13.-Thomas F.
Gilroy. commissioner of public works of
the city of New York, and one of the Tam
many "Big Four was asked to-day by a
correspondent as to his opinion concerning
the statement of Col A. K Mcclure that
Senator Hill cannot carry New York IL
nominated. 81 have just seen it," said
he, 'in the Associated Press dispatches,
and my com ment on it is that Col Mcclure
is poor judge of New York politics. He
lives in city which has been steadily in~
creasing its republican majority, while the
state of whose politics he knows apparently
so much has been constantly increasing in
democratic strength. The democrat
nominee, whoever 1t may be- with the
possible exception of ex-President Cleveland,
will carry New York. While we would, OF
course, support him If nominated, l don't
think Mr.. Cleveland could possibly over
come the great dissatisfaction in the party
ranks against him, and ap sure the party
cannot afford to take the risk his nominal
tion would entail. Senator Hill can car ry
New York and 30 can others, notably Sena-
tor German or Gov. Flower.
THE COOPER UNION KICK.
"The mugwump kiokers in Neg York
are nothing more than the same protests
that we have had to fight half a dozen
times. The numerously signed petitions for
the May kickers convention are not being
more than competition mug wump lists
abundantly augmented by republican sig
natures. Two-thirds OF the New YORK
Cooper Institute audience were republicans,
as is the case with the list now
being signed against the action of
the regular convention. All this Is made
TO appear very extensive to the country at
large, but the democrats Of New York un-
derstand it, We have had to contend
against shrewd manipulations too many
times to be seriously disturbed
now. l should say that the
party ought to at least listen
to the voice of the doubtful states in the
matter The party must carry New York
to win. It's organization in that state should
be credited with some judgment in the mat
ter of carrying the state. SO with Connec-
ticut, New Jersey and Indiana. These
are states that must be carried, and
they ought to know best what man
is the strongest for them. As far as Tam
many is concerned it is for democratic sue
cess above any one. as all democrats
