AS THEY VIEW THE FIELD.
Comments of Politicians on the
Muddles in Both Parties.

New YORK, June 1.-Lieutenart
Governor Sheehan and Mrs. Sheehau
are at the Hoffman House.
What do all these stories mean OF
Tammany hall delegates intending tc
vote for Mr.. Cleveland after the first
ballot9" asked of the lfeutenant-gover.
nor.
They do not mean anything" he re-
piled with much emphasis.
There is only one Democratic dele.
CATION from New York to the national
convention, and that delegation is for
Senator Hill for President, and it will
be for Senator Hill to the end Here is
one man who will be for him clean
through"
In the same hotel Gerge II. Bush, of
Ulster county, who was the Demoera tic
leader on the floor of tho Assembly dur.
ing the late Legislature.
81 do not see why we should stick to
Senator Hill in the convention if he
cannot be nominated" said he.
The delegation was instructed to
present his name to the convention and
to vote for him on the first ballot
nothing more -
Between these two conflicting opin-
probable action of the New York dele
CATION at Chicago.
Uncle George u Erwin, of Pottsdam.
made glad the sofa contingent at the
Fifth Avenue last night by strollng in
among them. Your Uncle George was
wary about expressing his choice among
the Republican candidates.
VI am for the nominee of the eonven-
tion," said he. 1.-The people up my way
are non commit'al. Then he looked at
Dwight Lawrence's curly head med ita-
lively and added: II don't know any
thing about it, but am going t. learn.
I'm going out to the convention. After
1t is over can name my choice"
Senator Irwin will start for Minneap-
oils tonight. The non com INITIAL char
acter of his people is a symptom not
hard to diagnose. They feel kindly to
President Harrison for bouncing Collec-
tor Gleason, but they also feel kindly to
Mr.. Plat for maay old favors. There
are therefore in the vice, so to speak
Mr.. Smith M. Weed was visible for a
few minutes yesterday morning at the
Fifth Avenue. About the Syracuse Con-
vention he said:
III when the delegates reach Chicago
they find that Cleveland is going to be
nominated anyway l don't suppose they
will mako any contest. But the SYRIA
cuse Convention is some thing moro than
a movement in Mr.. Cleveland's behalf
1t is protest against certain things,
and that fact must also be considered. ~
Mr.. Weed is still very confident that
Cleveland will be nominated.
Senator Don Cameron, of Penhsyl-
vania. Republican, and Senator Butler,
OF South Carolina, Democrat, were
Cumming in an uptown hotel. Senator
Cameron was asked just for fun whether
he was for Harrison or for Blaine.
Everybody who knows anything about
him known that he hates the President
with an intense and bitter hatred and
also that wild horses couldn't draw out
OF him an expression of his feelings. He
looked far over his questioner's head
for two minutes. Then he let fall these
words like man dropping chuncks of
ice:
81 am not answering any Questions. :"

The Festival CIosed.

The festival given by the ladies OF
the Calvary Baptist Church in the Jones'
Stuart tabernacle closed last night.
The fete lasted for three nights, nd he
sides being one of the most pl asan
social affairs OF its kind that has lee
in this city for some time, was a success
financially, about $3.50 being secured
which will be devoted to the erection
fund for the new church building. A
very interesting feature of the affair
vas the delightful music rendered by
Mrs s. b. Williams on the piano and
Mr.. Wright on the violin.

Republican Politicians Discussing the
Merits of Cand fdates.


Merits of Cand idates.
CHICAGO, June 1.-The city is filing
up with prominent Repu blicans from all
parts of the country on their way to
Minneapolis, and the chances OF candi-
dates are discussed. Ex-senator Sabin
says:
"If the party wants a dead sure thiiig.
1t will nominate Blaine. Then it will
send him down to Bar Harbor, put a
bull dog in the front yard to keep away
all reporters and politicians. and the
people will take care of his election"
81 expect to see the President renomi-
mated on the first ballot" said Mr..
OBrien. "All the States but one have
at their conventions given his admins
tration unstinted praise. More than
one. third of these have instructed their
delegates for Harrison"
Judge Thurston, hoarse from his
Memorial Day address, spoke with all
his old-time enthusiasm for Blaine. 81
am still firm in the faith that Blaine, 8
nomination is certainty. Nothing
but another letter sent to the conyen-
ton can prevent it. l hope such let
ter will not be sent, and / firmly believe
it will not be-"
ut is much be regretted fact that
the President has placed mis- campaign in
the hands of those who hold office nder
him, and has even recalled men from
abroad. It will be serious matter, IL
by any chance be should be nominated
should this fact give rise to the charge
that he was forced to give his campaign
to those men because he could get Do
others to assume the task"

Sweet corn has proved Il profitable
crop this year where the conditions We're

gan. His corn this season gave him
$50 per acre for the corn sold, besides
saving IL baskets for seed. and beside
the value of the corn fodder which he
estimates at $40 per acre when well cur
ed. Mr.. Weston says that cattle will eat
the husks and even the cobs readily. He
haulS them home from the factory,
dumps them in small piles in his pas
turc, and his II cattle will eat Il cart
load of them in the course of a hours.
The price paid al the factory was two
cents per pound this season, which i II
lrihr better than the price paid last
year. then it was 3 cents for 2G ounces,
