CLEVELAND AND CHICAGO
The Change of Sentiment in the Western
Metropolis Shock to Him.
He Had Taken Quite an Interest In
Mayor HOpl<ins-Enect of
Yesterday's Elections.

1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland is very
much cast down over the result of the
municipal election in Chicago. While as
a rule, the spring elections in cities do not
have important bearing upon general poll
tics, it is said that the President. has been
watching the course of political events in
Chicago with unusual interest. This is
said to have been due to the fact that the
election was generally regarded as the
judgment Of the people upon ths admins
tration Of Mayor Hopkins, who was per-
sonal favorite of the President and the re-
cipient Of federal patronage to aid him in
his political aspirations at home.
The fact that yesterdays election in
Chicago showed change of 10000 votes
since the election which swept Mr.. Cleve-
have caused the executive no little con-
cern. The change from 33Oo democratic
majority to 10000 republican majority
demonstrates a slight change of sentiment
said to have been In the nature of a shock
to Mr. Cleveland.
A Rebuxe to the Democrats.
Persons familiar with the political situa-
ton in Chicago affirm that yesterdays
election was a rebuke to the Hopkins demo-
cratic administration and a side-swipe at
Hopkins was not direct candidate. but it
is said the democratic candidate was a
member Of his faction. and it was the Hop
kins administration that was at the bar.
1t Is said that federal and municipal at
fairs were closely interviewer in Chicago
politics. Mr.. Hopkins was constant sup
porter of Mr.. Cleveland standing by him
in all his actions and endeavoring to swing
the local democracy into the same line.
In return for this loyal suppOrt the PreSi-
dent is said to have lent a favorable ear to
Mayor Hopkins in recommendations for
local federal appointments. and to have
consulted him freely and conspicuously.
1t is siid the President took personal In
terest in the political career of the young
mayor, and, gratified by the enthusiastic
support of M. Hopkins, repaid it with the
sunshine of executive favor.
For this reason, therefore, 1t is whispered
among politicians that the President felt
that the sweeping disapprOval of the Hop
kins faction by the voters of Chicago was
at the came time something in the nature
of blow at Cleveland democracy. and is
annoyed accordingly.
The Ohio Spring Elections.
The spring elections throughout Ohio are
not thought to have much bearing upon
national politics or the politics of the state.
1t is considered possible that there may
have been a slight falling off in the demo-
cratic vote in Cleveland because of the
Presidents action in the federal appoint
ments just prior to the election, but it is
difficult to gauge the extent of the disaf-
fection from this cause
Senator Sherman, who Is now in Wash
ington, does not think the elections amount
to much in his state.
The spring elections in Ohio do not turn
on party lines, he said in answer to
request for his opinion, land are not an
important indication of political opinion.

assembled. and reported the result of their
visit to Mr.. Griswold's house.
1t was then determined to have another
meeting this morning.
The men stood around the stables during
the entire morning, but there was no in
breach of law or order, being confident to
the final. moment that they would be vic
torious
As soon as the tie-up occurred yesterday
afternoon a messenger was dispatched by
the strikers to President Lawrence of the
Street Railway Protective Union for as
sistance. Mr.. Lawrence responded that he
vas unable to leave his work at the mo-
ment, but sent a committee to extend ad-
vice and assurance of support and early
this morning he, Secretary Gwynn and Mr..
FRANK Dent, member OF the executive
committee, went to Anacostia, where, after
pleasant interview with President Girls
void. the whole matter was arranged in a
matter satisfactory to all concerned.
During the interview. Mr.. Griswold in
vited the gentlemen to inspect the railway
company's books, which they did, and the
agreement as to wages entered into was
considered the most equitable that could
be made under all the circumstances.
President Griswold. In reply to a ques-
ton from President Lawrence, made es-
pecial mention of the cases of Drivers AL
'vey and Mathison, whom he restored to
duty, and he assured the committee that
no employe should be discharged except
for cause
The employees of the railway company are
pleased with their experience with the off,
GERS of the Railway Union, and have unan-
imously determined to join that body at the
earliest opportunity.
Superintendent Newton today declared as
absurd report that the company had sent
to Charles county, Nd, for colored men to
drive the cars.
President Griswold said today that last
night he received a letter from a. promi-
nent citizen of Anacostia, offering to assist
in the suppression of the strike by taking
out a car. and that several persons had
called on him and offered their services for
the same purpose.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 3.-The serious
illness Of Senator Robertson, which will
necessitate his absence from the capitol
for the next ten days, will delay the pass
age of the New York city police bills, unless
some of the democratic members can be
persuaded to vote for the measures. Two
OF the republican senators have announced
their opposition to the bills and the atti-

some villages and small towns the woman

significant. In Delaware, a college town,
Mrs. Della Lathrop Williams, wife of Pro-
fessor Williams, was defeated for the board
of education. She had been principal of
normal school and was personally very
popular. 1t seems to be an established fact
that about one-half of the women voters
cast their ballots for the other sex for
members of school boards. More than half

REPUBLICAN GAINS.
Result of the Elections Throughout
Colorado.

DENVER, Col, April 3.-The election
throughout Colorado resulted in important
republican gains, although in most cities
and towns the fight was more on local is
sues than on party lines. In Pueblo the
result was close, with the republicans in
the lead. In Colorado Springs the republi-
cans have large majorities, and some
mountain towns, notably Central City, hith-
erto considered populist strongholds, have
given republican majorities.
At Leadville the populists claim to have
carried that town by a moderate majority.

Redemptions Fuiling or,

The falling off in the redemptions of pa
per money is cited as an indication of the
return of confidence in the conduct of the
treasury. These redemptions were more
than 1o,0Oo.00O during January and were
heavy during the first few days of Febru-
airy. The announcement that a contract
was in process of completion seems, now
ever, to have wrought marked change,
and the aggregate redemptions for Febru-
ary We're only $5,56O,952 or about one
eighth OF the amount in January. More
than s3,JW,OOO of these redemptions oc-
CURED before the official announcement
was received from the President that the
bond contract was completed, and still
larger proportion before the terms of the
contract were made known. Treasury CT
fcials are gratified by the fact that from
February to the close cf Marcia period
of more than seven weekS-the aggregate
redemptions have barely exceeded s., 900, 900
or an average of less than $i5U,UUO per
week. Their progress has been downward,
even during the month of March.
The rate of redemption indicated by the
most recent treasury figures would amount
to about S13,00O,OOU per year and would be
more than covered by the ordinary receipts
of gold by the treasury. The gold reserve
stood Monday at 800, Oh. .307, and about slS,-
100000 remains to be covered into the treas
ury in foreign gold by the syndicate This
would raise the reserve to Sl0S, ,500, 600 and
would meet considerable demands for re-
demption before the reserve could be again
reduced to the danger point. The addition
of S1S,0O0o00 to the gold reserve will also
operate as an addition to the general treas
ury balance, which has never been larger
for four years than il is today.
The following figures. furnished by treas
ury officials, show some of the highest and
lowest points since the treas sury first began
to get into Close quarters after the ippro-
priations made at the first session of the

The treasury officials say that there is
absolutely no occasion for an extra ses-
sicn Of Congress for the purpose of pro-
viding revenue to carry on the govern
ment. The income tax may be declared
unconstitutional, but a balance of S2Oj,-
100000 will they declare, cover heavy def
citS during the eight months remaining
before The meeting of Congress in regular
session. The treasury officials express
themselves as not believing that any such
deficits will occur. There has been q
steady increase of late in both the Gus
the improvement in business, but even if
ordinary importationS remain stationary
marked increase in revenue is expected
by the treasury from the imports from
sugar. Treasury officials say that they
have not been surprised that sugar I'M
they are always slight during the winter
without regard TO changes in tariff rates
The months of heavy importation are usr-
ally April, May, June. July ard August
The sugar importattons during March have
not yet been officially ascertained, but
they do not appear to have been much
heavier than In February, when they af-
forded 4 customs revenue of about 81
$4,000. The rev tariff was estimated to
afford revenue from sugar of about Si2-
oootoo, or an average of S3,5Oo,CoD per
month At the treasury the opinion is *
pressed that this average Will be reached
during the present calendar year and if
importations have been held back during
January, February and March, they are
likely to be all the heavier during the late
spring and summer

vided that the latter ''as far as lies in their
power will exert all financial influence and
will make all legitimate efforts to protect
the treasury of the United States against

plete performance of this contract" 1t is
claimed that the shifting OF the figures of
gold shipments from the export to the i'm
port side since the contract was announced
IS an evidence that the contract has been
kept. The month of February, for the first
time in many years, showed excess of
imports instead of an excess of exports of
gold coin and bullion, as is indicated by

The treasury officials say that the treas
any time since the beginning of the pres
ent administration. The gold reserve, they
Pssert. is protected by the contract with
the bond syndicate; the general treasury
balance is larger than for several years;
and the prospect that receipts will cover
ordinary expenditures is steadily improv-
Ing.
As an evidence OF the success of the bond
syndicate in protecting the gold reserve
they point to the figures of the redemp-
tions Of paper money since the contract
took effect and to the absolute cessation
of gold exports from the Unitel States.
The two sales of bonds, February !, 1894.
anG November "a. 1894. seemed to have the
effect of intensifying the raid upon the
treasury gold, while the contract made
public by the President, it is claimed, Feb
Iuary S. has had just the opposite effect.
The redemptioIis of United States paper
money, which constitute the measure of
the gold drain from the treasury, reached
nearly s20,O0O.DOU between February 1, 1894,
and March ), 1S9i-the dates of the OPEN
ing of the bids for the first lot Of bonds and
the completion of the payments. The drain
of gold to pay for the second bond issue
of November 2l, 1894, began a few days
before the opening of the bids and amount
ed in less than three weeks, from Ncvem-
Der IA TO December !, the date OF final
payment, to S9,9U5,O52. This second issue,
moreover, did hot arrest for moment the
drain for export, which amounted to an
excess of exports of $9,42i, ,439 in December,
and se4,6DS, iSo in January. The with
drawals from the treasury were much
heavier than this, ard amounted in the
s29.OoO,OcO, or an average of nearly $780,

He is an autocrat OF autocrats. Well
do the meE know that they have to look
to him for every favor, and, as in the

of things was not so bad, but occasion
