WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-"PreSident Cleveland
will unless | am badly mistaken, - said usual
ly well-nformed official of prominence, take
steps within u few days, possibly this week, to
let the party in New York and elsewhere know
that the administration wishes the election of
Senator Hill" This is in accordance with
statements previously made in this correspon-
dence when poorly informed persons and Re-
publicanS, were trying to create the impress
sion that there was u doubt as to the attitude
of the administration towards Senator Hills
candidacy for the governorship of New York.
President Cleveland in his long political career
has never been u bolter. and Senator Hill is the
regular nominee of the party and as such is
entitled to the vote of every Democrat in New
YORK. and it will be safe to wager that he will
get that of Grover Cleveland.
The formal announcement that Senator Nc
PhersOn, of New Jersey, would not be Il candi-
date for reelection surprised few people in
Washington. Simply because it was expected,
and was the natural result of the state of his
health.
United States would join the great European
powers in interfering to prevent the complete
amusing to those familiar with the settled
policy of President Cleveland. The United
States will not JON the powers of Europe for
the purpose of interfering with Japan, China,
or any other foreign nation, simply because ii
does not believe, under the present administra-
ton, in entering into any entanging foreign
alliances. 1t is none of our business if Japan
ticks China or China ticks Japan, and the
European powers, which are seltishly interest
ed, will get no assistance from this government
i'll their schemes.
There has been quite storm among the Re-
publican leaders, because of the report that
Mr.. Babcock, chairman of the Republican
Congressional campaign committee, was in
sympathy with the A. p. A, the latest success
sor to Knownothingism, and was using the
machinery of his committee for the distribu-
ton of documents of that organization. Mr.
Babcock denies it, but it is somewhat signifi-
cant that he should leave Washington at this
stage of the campaign, and that his place
n hn n1 nv VII nhoi Ans nf
Mass, who has not familiarized himself with
the details of the campaign up to this time
He Says that he requested Mr.. Apsley to come
here and take his place for few days but the
impression seems to be that Mr.. BabcocK will
have nothing more to do with the management
of the campaign for the Republicans.
Representative Wilson's health was much
benefited by his flying trip to Europe. This
week he will return to his district and enter
actively upon the work of the campaign. He
hasn't the slightestest doubt of his reelection,
he is fully aware of the eXtraord-
nary efforts being made to defeat him by the
lavish use of money contributed by those who
wish him defeated because of the part he took
in shaping the new tariff. Steve. Elkins has, it |
is reported, succeeded in getting the coal cor
porationS of Mr. Wilson's district to enter upon
IL bull-doZing cnEpaign to prevent the miners |
voting for Mr. Wilson, the penalty if they do so |
is to be the loss of their jobs. But for every |
vote he loses by such methods it is believed |
that he will get two from the Independent |
farmers of the district.
Senator Faulkner has been in New York for |
Whitney and other prominent DEM |
ocrats in bringing about state of harmony |
that is absolutely necessary to the success of |
the party at the coming election. |
Hon. Edward +. Uhl, First Assistant Secre- |
tary of State, who was nominated by the Michi- |
gan State Democratic Convention for U. S. |
Senator to fill the unexpired term of the late |
Senator Stockbrdge, which expires March 4, |
1899, and which is now held under Il temper. |
Iry appointment by the Governor by Senator |
Patton, leaves this week for that State. Be- |
ginning the Goth instant, when he opens his |
campaign at Detroit, Mr.. Uhl expects to speak |
very week day until the day before election. |
While ne is not over confident that Democrat
g legislature will be elected he thinks there is |
4 good fighting chance to do so and he intends |
10 do his share of the fighting.
Secretary Carlisle has officially endorsed the |
iecisCn of the board of General Appraisers at |
New York, and of the Collector of Customs at |
that the entire wooden schedule of |
5he new tariff law goes into effect January l, |
1895. 1t was commended by some importers |
That this schedule went into effect when the |
Dill became Il law. No indication has yet been |
given but it is probable that the decision will |
De contested in the courts, as the amount of |
money involved is quite large
