THE sentiment that is developing in
Cleveland's favor here in the past few
days" said he, lis merely a reflection of
the sentiment Of the Democratic people of
the country. They have had il all along.
There is no doubt Cleveland is the choice
OF the masses, and nothing can prevent

"Not even New York ?"
"No. He will be nominated before New
York is reached in the call of states.n
p" How about him carrying that state
against.the Hill infuence2'
"He will carry il. There'wil be no local
elections there to trade on this fall, and it
will bo square fight on national issues,
and Cleveland will win"

Certainly. Cleveland is Democrat
THE SITUATION IN IOWA.
CHICAGO, ILL, April Frank Hatton,
acknowledgement and editor of the
Washington Post, who is here, ell route TO
the capital, after o visit to his home in
Iowa, said to-day 'Clevcland, the choice
OF seven out Of ten Democrats of the coun-
try, as n vote taken to-day would show. is
the only man OH the Democratic side who
could give Harrison the fight of his life"
You don't seem to rate Senator Hill
very high? n
"Hilll Humph He is only minority
senator without the least chance of secur-
ing the nomination. Should Hill be baNlly
showed under in the race-and firmly
believe this will happen-we doubt very
much whether he can swing very large
knife, because of the reyulsion of SEMI
ment among decent Democrats"
From your conversations with promi-
nent Democrats. whom are you led to be-
fail TO get it?'
Governor Boies of Iowa, with the boy
Governor. Russell, of Massachusetts. That
would be most excellent ticket"
How are matters in Iowa?n
Iowa is about lost to the Republican
party, he remarked. THE Republican
party have done all in their power to
throw the state into the arms of Democracy
by defeating the Catch bill. They will re.
pent at their leisure, however, for the next
legislature will be Democratic. and one of

Democratic United States senator to sue

song and dance play for them. So far has
this generalization Of the party proceeded

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS in LINE.
BALTIMORE, MD., April 1.-The campaign
committee of the Maryland Tariff Reform
Club has arranged for series Of mass
meetings in the interest of the nomination
OF Grover Cleveland for the Presidency,
Inc rrst OF these meetings will be held in
tords Opera House ON the. evening of
April 18th. Addresses will be made by
Thillip ID; Laird of Montgomery county;
James Alfred Pearce Of Kent countv.
James u. Ellegood of Wicomco county:
John u. Brown of Queen Anne's; Robert
i: Brattan OF Somerset; ]. Clarence Lane
o. washington county, and ex-Gov. Will
liam Pinkney Whyte. Ex-Judge William
a, Fisher has been asked 10 preside.
The other officers of the meeting will
include secretaries, six vice-presidents
from baltimore city and one from
each OF the counties. This meeting
VIII be followed by others ut irregular
intervals in various parts Of the state. The
campaign committed of the club consists
OF its president, Mr.. Roger W. Gull, and
Major Thomas w. Hall and Mr.. ,Joseph
Packard. Jr. In speaking Of the reasons
Tor holding these meetings. Mr.. Gull said
the primary object was to give form and
expression 70 the almost unanimous desire
OF the Maryland Democrats for the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland. 1.-THE club has
refognizedthe fact he continued, that
the silver agitation has not only brought
about certain loss of confidence In the
Democratic party, but has greatly dis
heartened many of its members, because
they feared the majority in the House Of
Representatives would impose upon the
party the responsibility for an issue on
which the country would refuse ms
support The club also feels that
while the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land has undoubtedly at all times since
the expiration of his administration been
thc desire OF the party, its most Thought
~ members have recognized the fact that
his nomination rs the exponent of honest
money and tariff reform has become an
absolute necessity for the success Of the
party. Those who are anxious that the
, preference of the people for Cleveland
should be properly represented at Chicago
think that the Tariff Reform Club pre-
sents the most feasible means of giving ex-
preston to Cleveland sentiment, and con-
stitute an organization through which
Cleveland clubs can be organized through
out the state for expressing this sentiment
IN an effective manner at the primaries
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS WANT HIM.
NEW York, April la big row has been
evolved in the legislature by the domineer-
ing tactics of the state machine. Mr.. Muir
ply, the chairman of the Democratic state
committee it is charged, has undertaken
to ride rough-shod over everybody else's
wishes but his own, and the result is that
the Cleveland members of the state senate
have refused to be bulldozed. The news
comes down from Albany to-day that all
political legislation is blocked for the ses-
sion. In connection with the rising tide
in the state for the Cleveland May conven-
ton this Cleveland revolt in the legislature
is highly significant and interesting. It
has driven the Albany party organization
hack to the Cleveland camp and will give
q vigorous impetus to the anti Hill move.
s.rnt, not only in Albany county, but all
long the Hudson to Lake Champlain. All
of the lawmakers who are inclined to
Cleveland are in sympathy with the AL
bany men. As far as that goes, so are all
fair-minded men in the legislature. As was
predicted. the Hill machine is falling to
pieces all over the State of its own weight
and the fundamental inability of n spoils
system to attain what it set out to accom-
plish.
The Brooklyn Eagic tonight, reviewing
the situation at Albany, says: 1.-THE atti-
tnde of the Kings county asscmblymen
and senators is believed TO indicate that the
/, Kings county leaders are holding them
selves ready to transfer their support TO
Cleveland in the contest for the Presiden-
tial nomination. The Edgie correspondent
was told to-day that Hugh Mclaughlin
| has said to his intimate friends that he
believes that the Democratic voters of the
state wanted to see Grover Cleveland nomi-
mated. The remarks OF Mclaughlin have
