time as possible. was read With widespread Interest
BY all shades Of politicians and created stir In both
the snapper and Anti-Snapper camps. Every oaJ

succeed In making their peace with the new Admin

the favos which it has to dispense. Just now thsrs
is a wild scurryng to get under the Cleveland u1
brea.
Before Mr. Cleveland started with his family for his
winter cottage at Lakewood at p. m. yesterday he

The visitor who bad the most important audience
with the next President and who bore tidings OF the
greatest moment was Mr.. Cochran lie had been the
Administration candidate for Senator at the legislative
caucus at Albany, and although disclaimng to be Q
candidate at all In opposition to Mr. Murphy, the
strength OF the Administration concentrated upon
him. and he received the five that it able
to give him. The other distinction which Mr. Cochran
possessed yesterday that he represented Richard
Croker and he told Mr.. Cleveland that the political
ruler of this city and the great organization which he
controls done with David b. HILL Mr.. Cochran did
tonnr in pfaprtn
Mr.. Cleveland. but he gave the head Of the next
National Administration to understand that In the
coming conflict Mr. Croker and his followers would
rot be found the side OF Senator Ill., but might
be counted on sustain the Administration and
uphold the President. Naturally Mr.. Cleveland cx
pressed bis qualification at what Mr.. Cochran had to
tell him, but he careful not to make any promises
in return lie Is crafty enough wait ana observe
what kind Of support it is that Mr. Croker will give
him. But Mr.. Cleveland was pretty well convinced
that Mr. Croker and Mr.. HUI out, and that Mr.
Croker meant to administer rebuke to Senator Hill
when he said that the Senator had no business at
Albany and called his Interference in the business of
the NcwYork electors "intermeddling." After his
Interview with Mr. Cleveland yesterday afternoon Mr..
Cochran returned 20 Washington.
Mr.. Cochran extremely careful about what he
said when seen at the Hoffman House by reporters
after his visit to Mr.. Cleveland, but significant
remarks escaped him in spite Of his vigilance.
/ not Informed that there had been q quarrc9
between Mr. Hill and Mr.. Croker,' he said, but ono
thing | do know, and that is that an enemy OF Mr..
Cleveland cannot be friendly with the New-York
Democracy. The future OF the Democratic party In
this state in my opinion lies VITA ai. Ceveand.
His course his put tie party where II Is to-ddy' ne
has proved himself the mal OF the party, ana the
New.York Democracy will support him against al
comers There is not the least doubt about this
The idea OF any Democrat attempting to embarrass
the Administration Of Mr.. Cleveland Is utterly ab-
surd. We are all with Mr. Cleveland, and we are
going TO do all in power 10 ad MN IN MS Ao'
