When tho President Passes Through New

Himsolf For the Ticket nm Speaks to
Big Crowd at Utica.
NEW York, Oct IA Republican
morning newspaper says today: "Bittei
feeling is being ongendered around Dem
ocratic state headquarters by the proong
ed silence Of Grover Cleveland. All man
ner Of devices have boon rosorted TO 10 in
duce the president to come out In q public
letter as tho champion Of the senior soma
tor OF Now York state in tho up hill race
which has been forced upon him The
president has been approached on the
subject through immediate friends Of
William @. Whitney and presumably
through Daniel S. Lamont A last dos
perato effort will be made to force some
favorable expression regarding Senator
Hills candidacy when the president passos
through this city ia q few days on the
way from Buzzards Bay 60 Washington.
There arc mugwulnps in great num-
bors who argue that 10 would be beneath
5ho dignity Of the president of the United
States to try thus to influence voters One
Of these gentlemen said so at Mr. Hills
headquarters ia the Park Avenue hotel
yesterday. Tie was promptly reminded
that President Cleveland did not think IL
was beneath his dignity to write letter
urging support for Colonel John r. Fol
lows WHOM no was a candidate for q coun-
ty office "a few years ago This simple
fact silcnced the mugwump.
Antisnappers For Hin.
friends have declared openly for Senator
Hill including mon like Frederic H.
Coudert Tho Grace antisnappers also
stand in this list-that is TO say, they
make this assertion lt is not regarded
as at all likely that the antisnappers win
use any influence they may have with tho
president to procure his Endorsement Of
the Hin ticket. But should they consent
TO do so it is not considered probable that
Mr., Cleveland would pay much attention
60 them.
The fact seems to be conceded all
around that the president is under the in
iluence of the original band of mug.
wumps who made his election possible in
1884. The men and the newspapers in
this city and Brooklyn that supported
Cleveland then are bitterly opposed to
Hillnow. 1t may be stated on the best
authority that these mon have made the
demand from Mr.. Cleveland that he must
not move a finger TO forward Mr.. Hills
interests. On excellent authority it can
be added that Mr. Cleveland Is quito will
ing TO leave Mr.. Hill to his fate without
urging in that direction.

como as he appeared upon the stage,

land Democrat presided.
Mr. Hill spoke for a little over an hour
and dwelt at length upon tho issues of
tho campaign, including the apportion-
ment tho tariff, tho work Of the Demo
cratic party in the state and nation and
the freedom from scandal Of tho present
administration. He was applaudod at
frequent intervals, and his principal points
wero greeted with cheers. This uttoranoe
