"Who will control the patronage Of New York
state?" asked The STAR representative Of R B.
Roosevelt, treasurer Of the national democratic
committee, at the Arlington.
"Mr. Cleveland" answered Mr.. Roosevelt
Though he will advise undoubtedly with The
leaders Of his state. He and he alone win
govern in the matter. In this respect Mr.
Cleveland possesses the attributes Of . true
ruler. He listens patiently to all opinions and
facts submitted to him and then forms his own
Judgment. which. considering that he 10 alone
responsible and gets the abuse or credit - the
case may be, is eminently proper. But in my
opinion no one man or set Of men from the en-
pire state can be pointed out ~ the boss Of its

many in everything that he does Senator
Murphy is friendly to him. though don't think
that the relations between Senator Hin and Mr.
Cleveland may be considered cordial. How.

tagonize Mr.. Cleveland, and today the Presi-
dent stands without particle OF opposition

and the democratic party at large are under
great obligations to him for saving the state
and preventing the republicans from stealing

Withdrawn he would have been q much stronger
man than ne is and the democratic party of
New York and Tammany Hall would not have
been placed before the country in the awkward
position that they were. don't think that the
anti-snappers will get much recognition. for
they did more than ANYBODY else to hurt Mr.
Clevelands chances and would have defeated
him but for Mr.. Whitney's sense and general
ship"
Adjt. Gen. Josiah Porter Of New York has
the following complimentary remarks to say
about the Washington militia:

it happened, the Washington militia were in it,
They were in much better form than

and veteran troops. regular army officer,
who was standing near me a. the Washington
boys passed by, said that he thought they were
Maryland troops. but l corrected his error.
Ten. Ordway il an earnest worker and very
capable man. He has. apparently. brought the
militia up to high state Of efficiency for they
were in excellent shape and in good FORM and
when say that they looked like soldiers I
can't pay them higher compliment"
