WASHINGTON LETTER.

President Cleveland concerning thc
New York campaign is not pleasing
to the average democrat 1t i use
less to deny. True, it is not too
late for him to say good word Tor
the plucky fight that Senator Hill
j. making, but nothing that he can
now say will, in the opinion OF ex-
perienccd campaigners, do as much
GOOD to the party in that state as \
few words spoken earlier in the cam
paign would have done. Under
lordinarv circumstances it would not
be considered necessary Tor the
President to say that he wishes toI
see the ticket nominated by ms
party in any state elected, but IN
!. New York, even aside from the
known personal relations existing
between the President and Senator
Hill, there are peculiar circum-
E stances which made such an ex-
preston of opinion desirable, not
only for its effect upon the vote cast
) for the State ticket but to aid the
democratic candidates in the Con-
!. gressional districts.
i Representative Davcy, Of La. was
e in Washington on business several
J. DAYS ago. saws the talk about elect
ling several republican congressman
!, from that state, which republicans
J. are indulging in, strikes him as be-
ling absurd. He thinks the only
district in which the revolving sugar
I planters are numerous, ana inilu-
i ential enough to have even night
. ing chance Of defeating the demo
cratic candidate for Congress, Is the
Second. and that the democrats VIII
y carry that BY very small margin

ly Ipublicans are to make the gains
