aspect 10 Get the Rest ot the Patronage.
The Democratic situation in the state. In the
estimation Of those who ought to know is be-
coming more interesting every hour With
the Hon. William X Grace mntshalinR his
forces under his chief captain. Col Bob Mon
roe. and with President Cleveland's Federal
assistants refusing to recognize any but anti
organization men. II is clear that there is q
fight Of some proportions impending.
Senator Hills friends, Senator Murphy's
friends, and those who follow the standard Of
Gov Flower and Lieut-Go Sheehan are fully
aware Of all that is going on. Richard Croker
is not ignorant and neither Is Hugh MoLaugh-
lin entirely uniformed Of the activity Of the
nnti-orgn nization forces since election day.
Senators Hill and Murphy and Gov Flower
have had a number OF talks in Albany since
the Democratic smash-up anil the sudden
springinR to arms OF the differentiation
men has not surprised them n Bit They
knew during the campaign the sentiments nt
William r. Grace. Charles y Fairchild B FL
lery Anderson. u. Cady Herrick Fourth AS.
sistant Postmaster General Bob Maxwell. and
Congressman Tracey Of Albany. and they were
also by no means unfamiliar with the perform
ances and private sayings OF high Federal Of
1cials close to Mr.. Cleveland IN Washin Rton.
These old orRa imitation cRmpaiGners say that
no secret should be made oi the present situa-
ton OF the Democratic rarty In the State.
They want to have tho whole case known.
From all that could be gathered yesterday
from Trustworthy sources the smOuldering
bitterness oi Mr.. Clcveland's friends toward
the Democratic leaders IN New YORK state has
broken out and is heng demonstrated in all
important points of the stat" In the first
lent to speak that Mr.. Cleveland and his friends
have never forgiven the Protest ana warning

Cleveland men Ia the elevation Of Edward
Murphy Jr:. to the United States Senate: Mr.
perssnt WORK Tor his Party e lis constant att
tendance. and sound business sense ARE not
at all regarded. Mr., Cleveland was opposed to
his elevation. and that ends all argument with
the Cleveland men. Mr. Grace was violently OPP
posed to the selection Of Mr., Murphy as Chair
since then. Following out the idea OF the
