inclined to WIRE to Mr.. Blaine and inform
him how heartily approved of the refer

that it would be best to leave him to his
grief without interruption.
Judge Sullivan asked MIR. Cleveland
what would be the future course of the
opposition In New York. ''Do you think
they will support you actively"
MIR. Cleveland replied that he did ex
pect their support. There was no good
reason why they should not support the
ticket nominated by the convention. He
believed there would be an honest advo-
cacy by all Democrats in New York and in
the other states. He spoke of the opposi-
ton with courtesy, as has been the case
since the moment he received the nomina
ton He said nothing OF the Hill following
that was of an unfriendly nature.
