THE famous Manhattan club. whose
membership comprises the leaders Of
the conservative element of New York
Democracy, has virtually approved the
movement in New York for Hill by a
great reception in his honor. Two
thousand prominent Democrats were
present, including two ex-seeretaries
of Mr.. Cleyeland's cabinet. The signs
no longer take the shape of straws.
They are all as large as elephants.

DALLAS, TEX, Feb. Alt begins to look
like the people of Dallas have taken hold of
the project of navigating the Trinity river
in earnest About two hundred citizens,
including the largest and most influential
property owners in the city, met this after
noon in the interest Of the scheme. Hon.
John 81. Cochran, president Of the Trinity
river navigation and improvement com
pany, presided over the meeting.
The meeting accepted the proposition Of
the Navigation and improvement company
to subsidize it with funds TO be used in
clearing the river and getting it in shape TO
declare Dallas deep water point. A COM
mittee of three trustees was appointed to
receive the subsidies and turn the money
over to the company to be utilized for the
purpose named. a committee was ap-
pointed 10 draft a memorial asking congress
to appropriate $4,000 TO be expended ir
cledting and opening the river, and Capt
Louis Fiateau was elected 10 present the
memorial to congress. The meeting ad-
journed, subject TO the call Of the president.

Is SOME valiant organ anxious to
take issue on the statement that the
vote of New England went to Mr..
Mills because of the belief that he
would appoint an anti-free silver coin
age committee? Mr. Mills knew that
he was supported by New England for
that reason. THE GAZETTE has been
accused of misrepresentation. The
GAZETTE does not misrepresent.
Either Texas or New England is sorely
mistaken as to the position of Mr.
Mills on silver, and THE GAZETTE
hereby tenders its columns to him to
explain which is in error.

ATLANTA, Ca. Feb. .. Ex-PFesident
Cleveland passed through here at noon to-
day en- route from New Orleans. At Central
station were fully 5000 people cougregated
to witness demonstrations. Fully twenty
minutes were consumed in Misunderstanding
he refused to make any speech-as he had
declined all previous invitations to speak,

greater backbone than he was reputed to
have, to resist such an optpouring.

So Mr.. Cleveland sent Mr.. German
to the convention of 1888 with a plat
form which made no mention OF the
Mills bill. Thus it appears that
Cleveland was acute enough to seek to
do in 1888 what the wisest leaders of
the party would do now: Avoid con-
test over the details of a tariff bill
with 500 provisions. His advice and
wishes were disregarded. he was de-

feated and he has been generally held
responsible for the apparent reckless

of the party owes an apology to Grover
for blaming him with the fatal step
towards disaster in the platform.

IT is now ascertained that Chili's
apology was in possession of the state
department when the presidents war
message was sent to congress, out was
not translated. 1t is incredible that its
leading features should not have been
known to the president, and, were it
otherwise, he should have deferred so
grave step as advising war to take
time to read Chili's reply to his ulti-
matum. The transaction is the most
disgraceful in the whole history of
civilized diplomacy, and marks the
lowest level to which trickery has at
tanned in American politics.

IT is suggestive that in nearly every
popular vote yet taken, Mr.. Mills has
failed to reach first place. Two Fort
Worth gentlemen disputed recently
about his popularity. They were
standing in the courthouse yard. To
test the matter they agreed to accept
the sentiments of the first fifteen men
passing by as conclusive. OF these,
four were for Mills for senator.

THE NEW DUKE OF DEvoNsHIRE.

ton would retain the nominal and
actual leadership, Mr.. Chamberlain
taking the lead in the house OF COM
mons. .Sir Henry James declined even
to place himself in competition with
Mr.. Chamberlain.
The old liberals are forming strong
wing of the dissidents, who distrust Mr.
Chamberlain tendency to radicalism.
The conservatives continue to be shy
toward a politician with whom they
have little in common except unionism
But the tory leaders have tested Mr..
Chamberlain willingness and capacity
to work in unison with them. Conserv-
ative members generally admit his
frankness and integrity as coworker,
while the unionists equally recognize
his powers as a debater. His less
known qualities as tactician and his
personal courtesy and mental alertness,
however, make him the only possible
commander of the party in the house OF
commons.
Lord Harrington, on assuming the
dukedom. obtains the garter which Mr..
Gladstone obtained for the deceased
duke and which is thus inherited in sue
cession. Such an honor is most un-
usual, but Lord Salisbury, owing the
existence of his ministry to Lord Hart
ington and being unable otherwise to
repay his services, is desirous that the
new duke shall accept the garter.
The following is an outline OF the
career of the duke of Devonshire: Born
1888; appointed a lord of the admiralty
March, 1868; under secretary for war
April, 1868; secretary for war February,
1866, and quilted Office July following
was postmaster general from Decem
ber. 1868, to January, 1871, and IRISH
secretary from January, 1871, to Fehru
ary, 1874; was Indian secretary from
April, 1880, to December, 1882, and sec
retary for war from latter date til
Junp 1855
