York Democrats.


NEW YORK, Jan. l3.-Thc following is
printed in to-day's Evening Post: Cor
gresham POurke Cochran. who arrived
I'm this city from Washington last night,
was seen at the Hoffman House TINS
morning by q reporter for the Evening
Post. In the course Of an interview MI
Cochran said: II know of no quarrel De-
tween Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Hill. II there
has been one | have heard nothing of II.
7 do know that any enemy OF Mr.. CleVe-
land cannot be friendly with the New
York Democracy. / believe that the
future Of the Democratic party lies with
Mr.. Cleveland. lie has put hat party
where Il is to-day. He has already
proved himself the man OF the party. nd
the New York Democracy will support
him in every way. That l know. The
idea that any Democrat from this State Is
going TO embarrass Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministratit n in any way Is absurd. we
are all with Mr.. Cleveland. and VII do all
I'm our power to aid him in his adminis'ra-
zion.
Il did not come to New York expressly
10 see MIR. Cleveland, but l am going 10
call on him at his office this morning. /
understand that he Is going to Lake WOOD
for the winter. and i want to have a TAX
with him before he goes away. Mr.. CleVe-
land did not send for me. | want TO con-
suit with him about several matters
which are now before the House.
Il don't wan to give the Impression
that Mr. Cleveland is in any way die
tating or trying TO dictate to the Demo-
Gratis in the percent House. He is doing
nothing OF the kind. l a to get his
advice about several bills that are now
before the House, and IL necessary eX-
plain to him the provisions Of some OF
them, notably the Andrew Silver bill,
which does far more than repeal the Sher-
man bill. Mr.. Cleveland may not be
thoroughly cognizant OF all the pro-
visions Of that bill, and | want to get his
opinion about Its merits and dement's.
Before | act / want TO be sure OF what
Mr.. Cleveland thinks. / don't want TO act
upon what / think he thinks.
after / have seen Mr.. Cleveland / am
going back TO Washington"
Mr.. Cleveland and Silver.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jan. 13.-Josiah
Quincy, who arrived in Washington yes
terday afternoon on n flying visit from
New York. came as special envoy from
Mr.. Cleveland 10 talk with Mr.. Andrew,
whose banking bill was made the basis
Of the report Of the Banking Committee
OF the House, with members of the Bank
Ing Committee and a number Of the lead
ers of the House about the prospects OF
the repeal of the Sherman law Mr..
Cleveland has heard a great many con-
ficting opinions as 10 what nay or may
not be accomplished toward stopping or
reducing the purchase of silver and Ia
v~eryeanXious to learn just what the situa-
tion Is. He Is. Of course. anxious TO
nave the purchase stopped altogether,
if that can be done, but it has been rep
resented to him that this is impossible.
but that the old Bland law might be
substituted, and, as has been stated I'm
these dispatches, he is inclined TO the
acceptance of the Bland law as a compro-
mise. Mr.. Quincy talked the matter over
with as many members as he could In the
short time he was here and found that
the general opinion is that IL will be very
difficult to do anything, and that 1t IS
impossible TO suspend the silver coinage
entirely. There is a disposition among
many of the so-called silver men to do
as much as they can I'm line with Cleve-
lands policy. but in view OF the cellar
ton Of some of the silver senators that
nothing in that direction shall be done
in the Senate, they do not want to get
UP an agitation In the House until there
has been some Indication that the Senate
can be relied on to repeal the sherman
law. In other words they want the ini-
tiative to be taken by the Senate. II Mr..
Cleveland can accomplish anything there
the House will probably follow the same
line
