fBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNEl
Wsshin gtOn. Nov. 16.-Only week has passed since
the result of the Presidential election became known,
and already there stiong II not positive. ndica-
lions that the incoming Administration Will be met al
tho threshold BY serious difficulties which were IT,
n,red or overlooked during the contest and which had
mn existence at the outset of Cevclands first Admin
s,rton-tronbles which promise to make his second
Administration stormy some of these matters
are freely discussed by Democrats who have been III
Washington during the last week as well as in let
ers received from Democrats In various parts OF the
country.
One of the things which are exciting good deal of
comment some of which may be fairly described as
angry. is the Democratic situation in New-lork For
wears the Democrats OF the South and West have been
restless and discontinued under the domination OF the
Democruuc patty of the Empire state, against Winch
they would have rebelled long ago but for the TACT
et the vote of that state was essential to party snc
cess. Now that Democratic President has received
more than enough votes TO elect him without the vote
~ New York these Democrats appear 10 feel that tho
time has come 10 free the South and West from their
bondage to what they have been wont - stvie wall
Street Democracy" and this feeling Is ntcnslhed BY
what they call the cool arrogance OF New-iorR Demo
crafts in assuming that the financial and economic
pouces of the new Administration are to be con
,rolled by the same influences which were so potent
eight years ago A southwestern Democrat to-day put
tie case as follows:
cleveland is under no obligations whatever to the
Democrats Of New-Yorh The organization there bit
terlv opposed his nomination. which was declared by
lis leaders to be equivalent 10 defeat the socaeo
anu.Snappers had no influence whatever ~ OhlcoAo'
and Cleveland was nominated by the South and west
which gave him about five Of the votes necessary
Moreover. as tie result shows, Cleveland would have
been elected without the electoral vote OF any Eastern
state except Connecticut and perhaps he might have
spared even that. And yet we sec the New-iorh
Democrats rs usual making preparations to run the
new Administration. Either Flower or Grace, they
say is TO DO Secretary of the Treasury, and Whitney

not be taken of in the Federal Offices in that state
Now. l do not personally so much about who
gets the offices as do about what is 10 be the policy

says that We must go slow-that existing Industries
must not be disturbed TINT we must have revenue
10 run the Government: that the currency question
must be handled with the utmost delcacy tha' ue
business Interests Of the country mus not be alarmed
und 80 OIL In fact he DOESN'T seem 10 think that the
new administrator and the new Congress can make
any radical change except in the personnel OF tie
Office holders. He hopes the Republican effort for M
International agreement IN regard TO silver c"nnge
will solve that question. Grace, suppose, agrees
with Flower and SO do most Of the other New-fork
IN sateerart TO MI Cleveland. If you cross the North
River you lind 1t said that MCPHERSON Of New-Jerscy
Is the coming for secretary Of the Treasury and
he agrees with Flower and Grace They are all hITcn

Cleveland allows himself TO be controlled by such In

In reply to the suggestion that Representative Cable
OF Illinois and several other Western men had been
mentioned for Secretary of the Treasury the same

N.,v.york Democrats that every DELEGATE from that

adopted by a vote Of nearly twO-thrds. MI. fiO"ei
