"That man Cleveland disgusts me-
said one of the most prominet dem"
Gratis in public life, who had just re-
turned from New York where he had
gone at Mr.. Clevplund'a request TO
hold a conference, with the President.
elct. 81 went to see him expecting
to find him deep in the intricacies OF
the tariff and OF finance, anu was
shocked to find that he was more IN
tent upon Knocking Hilldo by pre-
venting the election of his man, T.
Murphev, to the Senate than he was
upon the tariff or financial policy OF
party for the next four years: ana
you Inlay be sure that theshOck Was
not lessa.ned when he ni,uatsit plain to
me that he was bargaining patron

his cabinet, to accomplish Murphey' =

much OF the I, me and myself style

Senate in the next Congress they viii
avoid what has promised to be the
ugliest sort of Il row over the listri-
but ion of COMMITTEES chalrlnanships.
1t is Il rule which has been seldom
violated by the majority in the Sen
a t. that when changes are made in
the heads of committees tho next man
OH the committee gets the chairman
ship. Under the rule Senator VOr-
hes, of Indiana would have been
made chairman Of the committee ON
finance, and Senator Harris, of Ten
nesee, of appropriation Neither of
these men wear Cleveland COLLARS. SO
Il few weeks ago when democratic
control of the Senate seemed ceItaiD
boss Cleveland issued orders that the
Old rule must be ignored and these
given to Carlisle and
Mills. " hen Dan Voorhees, heard
about that order there was some
language spoken which would not be
proper to USE in addressingn Sunday
school, and he announced his intent
ion of having his rights, if his party
controlled the Senate, whatever Mr..
Cleveland might wish.
Mr.. Cleveland caused sensation
here by SO freely expressing in n news
paper interview, his opposition to
the election of Murphey to be Senator
from New York, and his reasons
therefor. His reasons are good, for
no sensible man can honestly claim
that conducting Il brewery will give
a man the necessary experience to
make an ideal member of the U. S.
Senate; but all the same it was a
very bad break" for the president
elect to make. The people of several
States have more than once shown
by their votes what they thought
OF President attempting to inter-
fere with their state politics, and it is
now regarded as certainty here
that Murphey will be elected, and it
was Mr.. Cleveland's interview that
made impression general. Men who
are Mr.. Cleveland's friends and admir-
ers admit that the interview was
u mistake, and that it will cause
Senator Hill to embarass the new
administration in every way that he
can, anG the even division in the Sen
ate Will give him plenty of opportun-
tiles.
The latest democratic guess Mt Mr.
