ness From what the President said,

That President Cleveland is willing to
treat with Tammany Is the inference
drawn from visit paid 10 the White
House this morning by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sheehan. The mere fact Of Mr..
Sheehan's call is not the basis for this
assump mptiOn, which became belief 70
those who saw Mr.. Sheehan enter the
Presidents room, but has hrm foun-
dation in the knowledge that Mr.. Cleve-
land agreed TO receive the representa-
tlves OF Tammany Hall next week in or
der that they might talk over politics In
New York. Mr.. Sheehan came early and
with him was Senator Murphy. Unlike
his colleague Senator Hill, Mr.. Muir
pby has been 10 the White House more
thap once since the fourth day OF
March and his visit did not have great
er significance than that he accompa-
MED Mr.. Sheehan. The two New
York people found themselves immedi-
ately ushered into Mr.. Cleveland'S
Office. The conversation between
Messrs. Murphy and Sheehan
and Mr.. Cleveland was brief.
The conversation was not
partlcularly Interesting except from the
fact that Tammany was interested on
one side and Tammany on the other.
Mr.. Sheehan made mo- concealment OF
his desire 10 talk over federal patronage
IN New York. and the President MAS
eonally frank in agreeing that he had
y TIE tiQht 20 do so. Mr.. Cleveland agreed
with ar. Sheehan that the present was
NOT A oropltous time for discussing this
matter. Il was suggested and IS readily
accepted that Mr. Sheshan should cope
40 sss Mr.. Cleveland again some d4y
