WASHINGTON, April S.-Ihat PreS1-
dent Cleveland is willing to treat with
Tammany is the inference drawn from
4 visit paid to the White House this
morning by Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan.
The mere fact of Mr.. Sheehan's call
Is not the basis for this assump-
ton, which became "a belief to those
who saw Mr.. Sheehan enter the
Presidents room, but has a firm
foundation in the knowledge that MIR.
Cleveland agreed to receive the repre-
sentatives of Tammany Hall next week
in order that they might talk over
politics in New York. Mr. Sheehan
came early and with him was Senate
Murphy.
Unlike his colleague, Senator Hill
Mr.. Murphy has been to the White
House more than once since the fourth
day Of March, and his visit did not have
greater significance than that he ac-
companied Mr.. Sheehan.
The two New Workers found few
people waiting to see the President
when they arrived, and they were i'm
mediately Ushered into Mr.. Cleveland S
Office. That they were expected was
evident, but the idea that business of a
discussed with the Likelihood of a
warm argument, was not carried out
from the fact thai a number of Con-
FRESHMEN and tn 4ir constituents were
III the room.
The conversation between Messrs.
Murphy and Sheehan and Mr.. Cleve-
land was brief. It began with the
usual handshaking and common Ia ;e
expressions, and ended in an agree
ment that Mr.. Sheehan should come
back later. The conversation was
neither animated nor particularly in
teresting aside from the fact that
Tammany was represented on one side
and the administration on the other.
Mr.. Sheehan made no concealment of
his desire to talk over Federal patron
age in New York, and the President
was equally frank in agreeing that he
had the right to do SO.
Mr.. Cleveland g c with Mr.. Shee-
han that the present was not prOpi-
tious for dis ussirr this matter, aud
he would prOOIbiy have asked them to
com back tonight had he not made
