win the favor Of Cleveland and become the almoner
| Of the Federal patronage in this city,
II this Is really Mr. Crokcr's expectation the Anu
snappcrs in York believe that he Is doomed TO as
appolntmept They are pretty restless Just now IN
| the absence OF any positive assurances from Mr..
Cleveland but they nevertheless lopefni tat the
entire Federal outfit will be placed I'm their HANDS,
They are encouraged by the fact That Mr. Ce'eiaha
| Is fully aware that they cannot build up strong
| CleV(nnQ AntfSnuppcr anu "'o'
ton in this city unless they have the patronage OF
the Administration to distribute among the faithful
who are ready step into the front line whenever the
