AGAINST TAMMANY HALL.
QUAY IS WILLING TO HELP OUT
NEWS FROM ALL THE POLITICAL CAMPS


New YORK, Sept 29.-Mr. Cleveland is
expected at the Victoria Hotel tomorrow
morning, he having left Gray Gables last
evening for this city. His own house at u
West Fifty-frst treet will not be ready
before next week, and by that time his
family will be here Meanwhile the recep-
tion rooms of the hotel are more suitable
for the purposes of Mr.. Cleveland's visit.
All the members of the National Campaign
Committee, except Senator Ransom, Con-
gresham Cable and E c. Wall, are In town
waiting to confer with him.
The absorbing interest in Mr.. Cleveland s
visit is to learn what influence it will have
on Mr.. Grace and his following of ''Wet
Feet" Mr. Grace has said all along that
he was quite willing to be guided by the
wishes of the National Campaign Commit
tee. If they opposed a second Democratic
candidate for Mayor he, personally, was
ready to accept their view of the dilemma
Opposition to the Third Ticket.
Mr.. Harrity, Mr.. Dickinson, Mr.. Quincy
and Mr.. Smalley have not entered their
opinion. They are emphatically, absolute
ly and utterly opposed to any Democratic
opposition to Tammany in the coming
municipal fight Mr.. Whitney is non
comnittal. As the personal confdant of Mr..
Cleveland, he is not prepared to record
his views on the subject He is only will
ing to be quoted as saying that there are
good arguments in favor of the policy of
putting third Mayoralty candidate in the
field. and there are others equally strong
against such programme. He will confer
with Mr. Cleveland on the subject to-mor-
row. So will his brethren of the Campaign
Committee.
The problem is considered the toughest
one thus far in the campaign. There was
no difficulty in settling the matter which
brought Mr.. Cleveland to town three weeks
ago. He met Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Sheehan
and Mr.. Croker at dinner at the Victoria.
The threats of the "Wet Feet" to dis
embowel the State, Tammany and
Brooklyn machines were gone over,
and Mr. Cleveland quickly announced
not lend aid in the shape of Federal patron
age to the scheme. Since then the "Wet
Feet have been irritable and most of them
sulkily declare that had it not been for
their efforts Mr.. Cleveland would have lost
the nomination at Chicago. They are still
bristling. The warriors of Tammany and
of the State Committee mock at their
antics and refer to them as stragglers and
camp followers and political suffers
Possibilities of Lot of Tickets.
Present indications point to the running
of five and possibly more city and county
tickets at the coming election. The County
reorganized for 1892, held its
first county committee meeting in Cooper
Union this evening, and proceeded to bust
ness just as though it proposed to elect all
of the officers for this city and county with
put opposition. More than 500 answered
to their names. Charles A. jackson,
temporary chairman, made speech. He
talked of the 'serious fight" before the
County Democracy and emphasized the
word slight" with several exclamation
points. He spoke OF the Democracy's candi-
date for the Presidency as the County
candidate, and declared that
he had been delivered, bound, hand and
foot to his enemies but that the County
Democracy will cut his bonds and free him.
Secretary Charles H. Defrees, of the
Democratic State Campaign Committee,
made the following announcement: ut is
reported to the Democratic State Committee
that two men who gave their
names as j. H. McFaddOn and j.
I
ing through the State talking with as many
people as they can meet at hotels and public
resorts, and saying they are Hill Demo
Gratis who are going to vote for Harrison,
in fact, as is believed on good
grounds, they are Republican emissaries,
making false statements in order to create
the impression of Democratic dissension
and Republican gains"

ceded by an announcement of his views on the

ing wards of New York City.
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, has
had long conference with Secretary of the
Treasury Foster, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
and later with Chairman Carter. He saws:

Amsden being only 80 in vote of 90, 900,
but think Harrison will get the electoral
vote OF the State"
