HILLS FRIENDS ARE WORKING.

Little Heard at the 1ammany HeadQuar-
ter. but Much business.
A visit to the Tammany headquarters at
the Auditorium yesterday gave the i'm
preston at first glance that there wasn't
much going on. There were no groups of
men in heated discussion. No wild cheer
ing, and to one not acquainted with the
geography Of the immense building it
wasn't easy to find where the sachems
held their powwows. But any one who had
jumped TO the conclusion that Hills
friends were asleep would have been badly
mistaken. Murphy, Croker, and others
of the leaders were in close confab all day
and late into the night. Flower Cochran,
Cummings, Slocum, Sheehan and others
acted as scouts and every now and then
came in with some notable from the other
headquarter who was Immediately en-
gagged in quiet talk, of which not Il word
got away.
German Pays Tammany a Visit
One OF the prominent men who was in
vited to the conference was German, and
1t goes without saying that he went away
with his head full of figures showing that
Cleveland could not carry New York. An
other man was State Senator NoGmaus. of
Iowa, who Is reported to have said Jla' the
Hawkeye men were for Hill mex, 20 Boies.
s enator Irby, of South Carolina. siia that
the Hill men had given his delegation
some information thaJ made hi state
probable Hi state. But Gorw-U-well,
when the reporters got through with him
they didn't know as much rs when they
began. He IS a remarkable man for hav-
ing nothing TO say and saying it. As
nearly as can be discovered the Maryland
delegation is waiting for light.
No Dearth of Information.
And they, with all others who are yearn-
ing for information, will get all they can
stand. Whether they will be better in
formed thereafter is a question. The
Cleveland men are not idle. They have
put out a circular showing that Cleveland
has all along polled more votes in New
York than Hill, and also that Hill has run
behind his own secretary of state, and
lieutenant governor. The figures are
| taken from the tabulated returns of the
elections sihce lSS2 General Bragg is
here, and, as ever, loves Cleveland for the
enemies he has made, especially for the
| fact that Tammany is, as ever, against
! him. Bragg is much disgusted with the
| fGvorite son business, but says "it won't
wOrk-Cleveland is the man"
