furry among his political friends here.
There WAS hurried conference OF his con-
fdential advisers, 10 whom he confided his
telegram, and asked their advice. It was
decided that the situation in the east, re-
garding the Democratic party nomina-
tion. was such as to make IL advisable for
the ex-governor tn be on hand to look after
his interests, aud he will probably leave fol
New York today. or as soon as he can ar
range his business interests to be absent
II is understood that the ex-governor
has been Informed that Mr.. Cleveland has
become convinced that it will be impossi-
BILE for either Hill or himself to carry New
York aud that new candidate must be
selected. and that he had determined to
write letter tn this effect and IL will
shortly appear In that letter he will dis
creetly allude Co the troubles of the New
York Democracy and gracefully withdraw
from the race, but in doing so will place
the tariff question right at the front Ia the
issues of the day, and deprecate the dis
C1ssiop OF the silver question at this time.
No reference TO the candidate will be
made in the letter, but it Is understood
that Mr.. Cleveland will quietly throw all
his influence to Ex-Governor Campbell,
whom he admires alike for his personal
qualities aud political opinions.

that they had some drinks together. The
young fellow then invited his com
panion to his home. where .

the beer. Moore says that he lay down on
the bed. and that yonng Lavery then de-
manded his money, knowing that he had
been paid of that morning.
Moore refused to give it up although he
asserts that the demand was reinforced by
the exhibition of q cooked revolver. and q
threat to blow him Off the face Of the
earth unless he complied. He grappled
with the lad, and the two had lively
scuffie, in the course OF which he was

Taubeneck presiding. aud J. II. Davis OF
Texas, IT. Vincent OF Indiana and w. II.
Miller being present. The topic under dis
cussion was whether Omaha can accom-
modate the convention. The banks and
railroads have refused to subscribe to the
fund, but under the leadership Of John L.
Webster (Republican) the citizens are
hustling 10 raise funds, as they claim the
action Of the banks aud railroads will be
the best campaign argument that can be
advanced.
The banks and railroads base their re-
fusal to subscribe on the ground that the
platform Of the Peoples party is lnimical
To their interests. The local committee re-
ported that the necessary amount to en-
tertain the convention had been raised
Mr.. Davis asked II the cheap hotel facili-
ties were sufficient aud the committee as
sured him that they were.
