Cleveland Alleged To Be Keeping HE Fingers
Out the New York Political Mess.
NEW York, Oct. 1.-The week, political
ly. closes down here upon Q situation
which is eongested with possibilities.
What the probabilities of the coming week
may be is problematic. The foreground of
the political field is at present occupied
chiefly by the Democratic generals.
The Republican forces lie back and
watch and wait the movements of
their adversaries. The gathering here of
Democratic State and national committee
men and the presence of Mr.. Cleveland and
Senator Hill all contribute to growing in
terest in the present Democratic move
ments here. The arriving Democratic
club men for next weeks meeting adds to
the spectacle of Democratic sortie.
Ex-Presldent Cleveland has not yet de-.
cided how long he will stay in New York.
His stay will be determined. in q meas-
ure, by the progress Of the work in his
new city residence. In any event he
will remain here till next Tuesday OF
Wednesday and attend the convention of
the national association of clubs. Since
his arrival in New York he has seen nearly
all the Democratic leaders of the city and
State, and largo number of prominent
politicians engaged in the work OF the
national campaign. The political condi-
tions In all parts of the country have been
laid before Mr.. Cleveland by the Demo-
cratic national campaign committee. and
he is sald to be we'll pleased with tho out
look. especially in this and the North
western States which the Democrats hope
to carry. He told Don Nj. Dickinson yes

with the Chicago branch headquarters.

tics and leave the municipal tight to the
men who are engaged in it. He is confident
that the State will go Democratic whether
there is third local ticket or not. He has
not even expressed an opinion on city poll
tics. The talk about his being adverse to
q ticket in opposition to Tammany is pure
conjecture, based on the statements of

that o third ticket will be put in the field.

Voorhis Democrats. The question will be
decided during the coming week.
The general opinion to-day was that if
Mr.. Cleveland pursues his policy of non-in-
reference. Tammany will have q fight on
ITS hands this year. Mr.. Croker says he
does not care whether there is q third
ticket or not so far as Tammany

of the Legislature and a United States Sem
ator. The State committee is apparently
taking no interest IN local affairs. Its work
is confined to the State above Harlem river.

Preparations have been completed for the
meeting of the State league of Democratic
clubs at Chickering Hall next Monday. 1t
is expected that Mr.. Cleveland and Senator
Hill will be present, although no promises
have been received from them. The
following day the national convention of
Democratic clubs will be held in the Acad-
emy of Music. All the indications point to
a successful convention. REPRESENTATIVES
of Democratic clubs in every State in the
Union will be present. 1t IL still hoped
that Mr.. Cleveland will deliver an address
All the members of tho Democratic nation
al campaign committee are expected to be
in the city next week. The Western men,
bers. Congressman Cable and +. G. Wall.
their associates and Mr.. Cleveland, and
Senator Ransom, who has been conducting
the campaign in North Carolina will have
time TO come to beaduuarters. All things
considered, next week will be the liveliest
week of the campaign.
Indications were to-day that not more
than half of the delegates to the conven-
tion of the National Association of Demo-
cratic clubs will be likely to get into the
convention hall. The latest estima ates of the
committee on arran ngemcnts places the num-
ber of delegates as high as 10, GOO. The fact
that Grover Cleveland and Adlai +. Stew
enson will be present, with the fact that
the candidate for President will speak.
will cause the clamor for seats to be al
most unprecedented.
