Democratic State Committee, and Richard
Watson Glider, arrived in town this morn
ing on the Fall river steamboat Pilgrim.
The ex-President and his literary friend
scarcely over before w. C. Whitney, chief
manager of Mr. Cleveland's campaign in
New York City and State, came to confer
with the candidate The consultation was
necessarily brief, as Hon. William r. Grace
was expected.
Mr. Whitney LETT the hotel in time not to
see Mr.. Grace and the ex-Mayor and the
ex-President had an hours talk with no.
body else around. Mr.. Grace said after the
interview that the subject of local anti
b Tammany Hall Democratic ticket was not
broached py either Mr. Cleveland or him.
self. Accepting this statement about his
interest in the machine of the "wet feet"
the two gentlemen must have discussed the
beautiful autumnal morning and exchanged
social condolences
Cleveland Doesn't Fancy a Fight
Mr. Cleveland himself would not discuss
with outsiders the topics he had talked

Mr.. Grace left the hotel, and after Mr..
Cleveland had been greeted by Mr.. Harrity
and Mr.. Dickinson, and seen a second time
by Mr.. Whitney, the word went out that
the "Web Feet" would not nominate a can
didate if they had any regard for the per-
sonal wishes of Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Harrity and Mr.. Dickinson were
feeling better. They appeared to be re-
lieved of an embarrassing situation. Mr..
Whitney was uncommunicative, but he
looked like a man who had accomplished
his purpose. In q word, the programme
adopted at Mr. Cleveland's last visit, that
the regular State, the Tammany and the
Brooklyn machines are the recognized
powers of the party in the State, will not
be changed. The "Wet Feet" must come
into line if they want any of the loaves and
fishes. 49, 81 < ~

is satisfied that the political business of

in the anti-snapper eye of being

city. The determination to run such a
ticket was reached tonight at the ad-

Movers The same committee which con-
ferred with the Democratic national
