That President Cleveland win Be
Heard From.
New York, Oct. 29.-The last week of the
campaign. if to-day is to be taken as a
criterion, will be devoted chiefly to rou-
tine work at the democratic state head
quarters. Lieut.. Gov Sheehan, who left
for Buffalo on Friday night to look after
the local situation, and Maj. Hinckley
who spent Sunday in Poughkeepsie, re-
turned to town early this morning. Both
brought encouraging reports from up the
state. Democrats of every shade" they
said, "are now thoroughly entrenched
within the party lines and we look to see
Senator Hill come down to the Harlem
river with a vote larger than ever be-
fore" In fact the only fear of the cam
paign managers lies in this county and
Kings.
AS soon as Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan and
at once plunged into routine work.
All the schemes have now been evolved
and this week will be devoted almost
wholly to carrying them out.

pressing invitation to speak at the big
Iammany Hall ratification of Wednesday
night was sent to Secretary Carlisle The
invitation was sent before the above an
nouncement was made. Other prominent
speakers from out of the city who have
been invited to address the meeting are
Vice President Stevenson, Speaker Crisp
eX-GoV. Campbell of Ohio and Senator
John w. Daniel of Virginia.
A check was received at the democratic
headquarters from eK-Postmaster Cen
eral Don. NJ. Dickinson to-day It was
addressed to Maj. Hinckley and is to be
used for the campaign.
senator Edward Murphy arrived in town
from Troy yesterday. He came to head
quarters to-day and appeared perfectly
satisfied with the outlook
1t was learned at the tax department
this morning that Grover Cleveland was
| assessed in 1898 and again in 1894 for S5 OOO
personal taxes. In March, 1894 Mr.. Cleye-
land paid his tax for the year 1893 In the
| books for 1898 and 1894 Mr.. Cleveland ap-
peared as lawyer of Is Broad street with
a residence al y West 51st street 1t was
said at the tax department that no letter
had been received from Mr. Cleveland pro-
testing against the tax or referring to it
| in any way and that he was the only man
who, according to the law, could declare
whether or not he is still a resident of
this city. Unless he takes some action,
his name will probably appear on the tax
books of 1895 in the same manner as it did
on those of 1898 and 1894.
In answer to a question on the political
outlook to-day Hon. Thomas c. Platt
said: 80 far as the state canvass is con-
cerned, Mr.. Morton's election is assured
1t has been one sided fight, but Mr.
Hill has put up a very strong campaign
But the feeling against the democrats in
this state is so strong that he has no pos
sible chance of being elected. This dis
affection of Mr.. Cleveland, too, will also
exert an unfavorable effect on the demo-
cratic party"
Congressman Boutelle of Maine a lit
tie hoarse from campaigning in Ohio, came
to town Sunday night and put up at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. To a reporter who

have never seen Ohio more aroused over a
political campaign than it is this year.
anticipate a phenomenal republican ma
jority there. We will certainly have six
teen congressman. All through the state
there is dissatisfaction with the demo-
cratic policy"

districts in this city, which were filed at
police headquarters this afternoon, show

Albany, N. Y, Oct. ga mass meet
ing the proportions of which have never
been paralleled in Albany, was the re-
suit tonight Of the fusion of the two
branches of the democracy to tender a
greeting to Senator Hill, who is now
resident of this city. AT least 1000 peo-
pie thronged the great hall, and as many
more listened to speakers who were on
the outside and unable to get any admis-
SION notable feature of the affair was
the presence on the stage as a co-worker
with Senator Hill of Congressman
Charles Tracey, who is looked upon as
personal representative of President
Cleveland. At least 1900 men took part
in the escort of Senator Hill to the hall
