WASHINGTON. October l6. 1894.

The question Of the purpose OF Mr.
/ Cleveland as to writing or speaking in
behalf OF the democracy OF New York Is
cow being most generally discussed mere,
ana, as strange as it may seem, there
are really some weil-infoTmed men here
who incline toward the opinion that the
President Will remain silent upon the
subject.
Tne general idea prevails, however, that
the continued endorsement OF Hill by the
Cleveland factions and the skluful pOlcy
oil HiIl IN putting ms campaign III tie
hands OF al executive committee ma'le
up with a majority Of the Cleveland Icl-
! lowers and public opinion, which IS
rapidly assuming the shape or a demand
from the Democrats Of the country, VIII
before very long call from the CnieI
Executive letter upon the subject. Now
the question comes: What Will CleVeldhu
say? Some OF the leaders about head
quarters believe that he may deprecate
the placing by his followers OF the
Wheeler ticket in the field and urge al
the Democrats "a rally to the regular
party nominee, Senator Hill Others as
sert that the wounds OF 1885 still rankle In
the breast Of the President, and he Will
simply address formal appeal 10 the
Democracy of the country to actively
support its party representatives,, in order
that the work begun in the last Congress
may be continued to its proper conclu-
siOns.
There is no doubt that the party mana
gers here are not now hilarious over the
outlook IN New York. The betting is now
10 to in favor Of Straus in New York
city. This in New y Ork nights Will, OF
course, have tremendous influence upon
the future OF the party, and strOuS,
stlTTing and uni sserVed letter from Mr.
by the Democrats all over the country,
who have certainly been unstinted In
their favor 10 him.
IN CAMBELL SILL ~ The BIN6.
The news is heraded this morning that
Tim Campbell has at last been nOmi-
mated BY somebody for Congress aSatn. /
Tim was turned down by Tammany this
year for Harry Miner the theatrical
man, who two years ago offered $JVD I
for the nomination. Tim then sought the
Republican nomination, but Johnny Simp-
son stole march on him and COrrOlled I
that, so now he Is running on the solid
declaration Of Campbell for Congress-
regardless Of parties and independent Of ,
piaii92iTims d 2iir II would be great PITY 70 I
lose Tim from Congress. He Is a bright /
unique and particular star here, and fur- !
niSheS any number Of good stories for the I
press. Not long ago some Of his New /
ofK friends wanted 10 present Mir. DutN I
win a scarf pin, and Amos Cummings /
ana Tim were to be the orators Amos (
hdd tn" first go, and he tipped OF all /
the heroes from the early ages down 10 /
Duiiy. Tim followed and said: Fellow |
citizens. We has heard the beautiful speech |
Of me old friend, Amos Cummings. His |
classics Is grand and I'll tell yes he's |
great man ana in prcsintin this pin III !
go a little into the classics mesilf and |
say TO me friend Duffy, as Raleigh said
to the Peruvians, I'm indade proud 10
grate ye, me old COmrade In arms.
Tim takes 10 the classics like a hen does
To water and scars amid the realms OF
like a turkey gObbler over
a garden fence. and to would be a crime
10 keep him out OF Congress.
NEWS FROM THE VARIOUS STATES.
1t is just three weeks to-day from the
election day, and the news now coming

assume more definite aspect and. as far
as anything can be known at this dis.
tance, the next House will be Democratic

Democratic whip, was at the Capitol q
few hours to-day, and reports that ohio
viii carry seven Democrats, sure and
the present ten Democrats from that
state, which. owing to the Republican
gcTrymdnderng, was not Unexpected and
which is the largest loss the party will
sustain in any one State, with IL possible /
exception of New York.
The reports from Virginia and North
'arolina are very encouraging 10 the
here. and the party losses viii |
be nominal, If any, in these two Demo
cratic COmmOnWedlths.
