York, THE WHIRL OF POLITICS, Views of the Situation as Obiained in Washington, THE NEWS RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT BNCOUR- AGING TO HIM—HOW MR. SOWDEN 18 SAID TO HAVE CUT OFF DEMOCRATIC SUPPLIES—TALKS WITH MOPRFUL DEMOCRATS—MONEY GOING FROM WASE- INGTON. ‘The rarest thing in Washington to-day 1s a statesman, Tux Stam man ran across a solitary Representative, While they stood on acorner talk- ing, one Senator passed. There may be a few oth -r Senators and members in the city, but they are very few. They have gone into the campaign and are making the canvass as hot as possible wherever there appeared to be a chance to change a vote by argument. , ‘REPRESENTATIVE LER ON THE SITUATION. Representative Lee was in the city for a short time this morning. He is in communication with his party friends in various parts of the state. He said to Tae Star man that while Virginia was not a reliable state, all the democrats appeared to be Perfecuiy lent of carrying it for Cleveland. le felt certain that the democrats would win back some Congressional districts now represented by Fepublicans. “If they could not do this they might ga well givo.up. The 1m contest, he said, he did not think would result in the election of & democrat. ‘It made a break in Mahone's Une the colored vote would go to him in droves. It would about all go together whichever way it Went, he said, He does not expect the democrats to get this vote under any circumstances, DEMOCRATIC CALCULATIONS IN NEW YORE. ‘The thoughts of every one interested in the elec- tion are naturally turned to New York. Mr. Dick- Son, who has just returned from New York city, Said to Tar Star man to-day that the democrais at headquarters in making their calculation al- lowed the republicans the plurality of 70,000 up to the Harlem river, and with this big allowance felt confident of over iu by the plu. rality in the city, ‘mand county, and give a food plurality to Cleveland for he whole state, hey are tly confident of winning if the re- pudilcans ‘fave ‘no more than 70,000 up to the 4 PROMINENT DEMOCRAT’S CONFIDENCE. A very prominent democrat, who is in constant communication ‘vith the democratic executive committee, said to-day that they were perfectly sure of New York, Indiana, and New Jersey. Con- ectieut ‘has deca in doubt, & sald; and hereto- fore he has not for moment thought 1t possible ‘that the democrats could carry Michigan. Now he feels confident of Connecticut, and very hopeful of Michigan and California. A plurality of 75,000 or og in New York city, he says, would not surprise him, and to that should be added the plu- TaMity of Brooklyn and the county. ‘A NEW YORK BUSINESS MAX, Another man, a prominent New York business man, predicted a plurality of 25,000 for Cleveland in the vote of the whole state, and sald that he based this upon the fact that the Newark election and other things assure them of holding ad Of the labor voue they have heretofore coun ‘They were sure, he said, of making gains among men ahd men who study, the thing they Were in doubt about at first was'the labor vote. ‘They are now reassured as to that. As far as actual canvass of the state is concerned, he nothing reliable could be had by elther party. MONEY FROM WASHINGTOX. Both parties are getting some money from Wash- ing, but, of course, democrats are getting the big- gest share of it, Tux Stam man was assured to- day that more had been sent to the democratic committee from here than was sent last year, but they still want more. The fuct 1s that this cam- paign is being run on a more expensive plan than ‘any in the past. It has cost more than twice as much for lit wure than was spent in that way in 34. ‘The failure of to provide the usual ex. tra month’s for the employes at the Capitol has cut the atic comunittee out of a pretty considerable sum of money. ‘These employes, ail of whom get thelr offices through ‘ave al- Ways contributed liberally to the presidential cam- paign fund of whichever party are under ob- ligations to. While the extra month’s pay was not given for that purpose, they countea on it for the money to contribute. This year they worked longer than they ever have before, both as ‘Vonumber of days and the number of hours per day, and they navurally felt confident of the extra money this time. But Mr. Sowden objected with a point of no quorum, and they were cut off. MR. SOWDEN GOT EVEN. But there ismore in this than themere deprecia- tion to the employees, It is intimated very broad by that Mr. Sowden took this way of getting even with Mr. Cleveland, on account of the Allentown public building veto. He tried using the veto him. If, thereby cutting the Democratic national committee out of from $15,000 to $20,000. It was Stated on the floor of the House that the appro- riation for this extra pay would amount to $5,000 vo $40,000. By an agreement among themselves the Demo- eratic employes decided that they wanted each tocontripute at least half this extra pay to we Democra dc fund. Iv 1s asserted that Mr. Sowden had heard of this, ‘and 1t1s believed by some that it influenced him in making the point of po quorum. If this 1s true hho has taken “quite a considerable revenge.” ‘THE NEWS RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT. ‘From authority, understood to be very close to the President, it 1s learned that the news recetved by him 1s of the most confident character as to his reelection. The same authority states that bis tory character, and that. there is, 0" louger sayy character, and that 10 r apprehension of a clash between uve friends.
