CROKER WILL RECOMMEND ONLY
POLITICIANS FOR OFFICE.
Mir. Cleveland did not venture down to his
law Office in Broad-st in the swapping cold yester
day. lie preferred the atmosphere of his house,
No IL West Fifty-frst-st,, as he has done ever
since Senator Carlisle was here last week. In
fact he has Rugged the hearthsone closely most Of
the time since Mrs. Cleveland went 10 Buffalo TO
visit her mother. His callers yesterday included
Senator Brice, OF New-Nori and Ohio: Josiah
Quincy, the Massachusetts member Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee; Congressman James
b. McCrcary, of kentucky; Congressman q.
Buckley Kilgore of Texas, and ex-senator Norton
Chacc, of Albany. Senator Hill spent the day
in the city, but went to Washington last evening
without seeing the Presdcnt-eect.
| Congressman Kigores errand was for the pur-
pose of pressing the claims of the Lone Star
State to seat in Mr.. Cevelands Cabinet. Mr..
Kilgore, who established high Neputation as
vigorous debater during the List Congress by
kicking down door which stood in his way,
urged upon Mr.. Cleveland the merits and quail
ications of his colleague in the House of Repre-
sentatves, David b. CulbersOn, who represents
d Texas district adjacent 10 Mr.. Kilgores Fear
ing possibly that his visitor might adopt his
| Washington methods Of argument TO the detri-
mcnt of the doors furniture of his dOmicile,
! Mr.. Cleveland pretended to be strongly impressed
with Mr.. Kigorc's presentation of his reasons
why Mr. CulbersOn should be appointed Post
master-Gencral, which the Texan said was the
| place for Mr. Culbcrson, and that the whole dele
CATION from his State was backing his candidate.
| In spite of MIR. Clcvelands acquiescent attitude
during Mr.. Kilgcrc's remarks nobody believes
! that Mr.. 'CulbersOns arguments will be avains,
/ especially if choice must be made between the
Texas applicant and Colonel Lamont.
The mission of Congressman MlcCreary who
was one of the members of the Monetary Con-
| ference, was to acquant the Prcsident-ee"t with
some of its insidc history He also undertook TO
| strengthen Senator Carlisle in Mr.. Cleveland's
esteem. This was total work of supereroga-
| ton, however, the senator and the President
elect had sufficiently cemented their friendship
| while the former was the guest Of the latter last
week Pesidcs Mr.. Carlisle has Mr. Clcvclands
offer of the Treasury portfolio in his pocket, in
Mr.. Cleveland's handwriting
If reports which are believed to lie authentic by
! woll-intormcd Democrats TO be- relied upon,
| Mr.. Cleveland will disappoint the expectations of
| New Workers in his choice for Collector Of the
| Port and will go outside OF the city TO find an
! official TO suit him. 1t is understood that he has
! already offered the place TO State Senator Charles
| l. McCleand, of Westchcster County, one Of the
| two anti-Murphy men in the upper house. Mr.
| McCclland was special Deputy Collector Of the
Port under Daniel Masone, in the last Democratic
| Administration, and held the office for nearly a
year and a half under Collector Magone's Re-
publican successor, Collector Erhardt
Another appointment said TO have been decided
upon. which will please the Mugwumps and Anti
Snappcrs, is that Of eX-Disrict-Attorney Peter
b. Oncy to the post of United States District
| Attorney for the Southern District Of New-fork.
Mr.. Olncy was Of the charter members IN
| the May movement against Senator HILL and was
an active co-worler with ex-Nlayor Grace ex-
| Secretary Fairchild and the other Anti-Snappers
| IN getting up the Syracuse Convention and the
| anti-Ilill delegation to Chicago.
| One stubborn circumstance which the Clevc-
| land workers say they have had to contend with
in their contest against Murphy is the subtle in
| hucncc OF some of the Roman Catholic clergy and
| certain Roman Catholic organizations. These
forces 1t is alleged, have been DESTROYS OF having
! A representative OF the religious faith IN the
| United States Senate ever since Francis Herman
| terminated his service in that body in $751; ihey
| quickly saw the advantage OF concentrating their
strength and influence III favor OF Mr. Murphy ana
the powerful aid they were able 20 bring
| him il referred 10 as one of the reasons why all
opposltion TO his candidacy has proved abortive
| Thar the Catholic Church has a powerful hold
on the Democratic machinery las often been
demonstrated Mr. Murphys friends, it would
| anpear have not hesitated to use 1t to ms adj
vantage
