The Poli,i II Crisis at New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The week politically
closed upon situation congested with
possibilities and probabilities that the
coming week may he probIematic. The
foreground of the political field at present
is occupied chiefly by the Democratic gem
erals. The Republican forces lie back and
watch and await the movements Of
their adversaries. The gathering here
of the Democratic state and national
committeeman and the presence of Cleve-
land and Hill ali contribute to the grow
ing interest OF the present Democratic
movements here. The arrival of Demo
cratic club men for a weeks meeting also
adds To the spectacle of Democratic
sortie. Cleveland has not yet decided how
long he will stay III New York. His
stay will he determined in measure by
the progress OF work on his new city
residen e. In any event he will re-
main here till Tuesday or Wednesday
and attend the convention of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs. Since
his arrival he has seen nearly all the DEM
ocratc leaders in the city aud state and q
large number of prominent politicians en-
gagged in the work of the national cam
paign. The political conditions IN all parts
OF the country have been laid before Cleve-
land by the Democratic national
campaign committee, and he is said TO se
we'll pleased with the outlook, especially
in this state aud the Northwestern
states, which the Democrats hope TO carry.
He told Don NJ. Dickinson Yesterday that
he considered Wisconsin, Michigan, Min
nesota and Illinois debatabie ground, and
expressed great pleasure with the work of
the Chicago branch headquarters. Cleve-
land has 80 far refused TO interfere with
the work OF the Syracuse eonyen-
ton men. His friends say 1t is
his intention TO keep his hands of lo-
cal politics and leave the municipal
fight 10 the men engaged in it, He is con-
tdent the state will go Democratic
whether there is a third local ticket or
not. Talk about his being adverse TO .
ticket ia opposition to 1ammany is pure
conjecture. based on the statement Of
Chairmen Harrity and Dickinson, who
are supposed 10 express Cleveland's senti.
ments. tls not altogether certain yet
that a third ticket will he put in the teid.
Last nigh. the Syracuse eonven-
ton men continued the commit
tee which called on the national
committee and instructed il To confer with
other Democratic organizations. This may

a question 10 be decided during the COM
ing week. The general opinion today is
that if Cleveland pursues the policy Of non
interference. Tammany will have fight
on its hands this year. Croker says he
does not care whether there is q third
ticket or not SO far as Tammany
is concerned, but he is apprenensivs
that fight among Democrats might re-
suit in the loss of the legislature and
United States senator. The state commit
tee apparently is taking no interest In
local affairs. Its work Is confined To the
state above Harlem river. Ii has lett New
York affairs to Tammany Hall. 1t Is
known. however. that Howard Murphy
and Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan are opposed 20
putting up two Democratic tickets in this
city.
