Some Think That the New Yorker Has Overreached Himself. WHAT THE CLEVELAND MEN WILL PROBABLY DO IX NEW YORK—Possipinity THAT A WESTERN MAN MAY BE NOMINATED, OR BOTH FACTIONS MAY CONCENTRATE OX SEXATOR GORMAK. There is a feeling among some of the best in- formed democratic politicians at the Capitol who are not pledged in faith to any particular candidate for the presidency that Mr. Hill has perhaps overreached himself in his eagerness to make known to the whole country the fact that he has control of the political machinery of New York. The opinion is expressed that in contriving to have the state convention on the 22d of February, before that held in any state in the Union, he has provoked such hostilities that may prove fatal to his ambition for the democratic nomination. It is suid that some good reasons have been advanced for holding at the same time it is very difficult to overcome the impression that Senator Hill’s motive is to make a denon- stration of his strength at home that it may influence the action of other states in the selection of the delegates to the natioral convention. The Hill people claim, and from reports which come in trom various other sonrces there appears to be some foundation for their claim, that he has been gaining strength in certain sections of the country where he has heretofore been conspicuously we From this evidence they claim that the tide is setting in his direction and that all that is necessary to make the movement in his favor effective is to demonstrate beyond coubt that he has the empire state behind him. ‘This they expect todo at the convention on the 22d of February. Apparently no well-informed poli- tician disputes that as things now stand Hill will have a very large majority in that state convention and that a Hiil delegation to the ‘national convention will be chosen by it HOW THE CLEVELAND PEOPLE FEEL. Impartial observers, however, see nothing in this which will insure success for the New Yorker. The Cleveland people obviously feel that calling the convention at this early day is rather rubbing it in on them, and even though they confess to be unable to successfully con- tend against Hill in the convention the Cleve- land strength in the state is, beyond question, very great. And politicians hero who are not prejudiced in Mr. Hill's favor believe that the resentment of the Cleveland people may find sufficient strength to indicatg to the rest of the country that though the Hill delegation may be admitted into the national convention, yet there is such antagonism in the state that it might make the wisdom of his selection as the national standard bearer questionable. It is fully expected that there will be a contest delegttion from New York representing those who are opposed to Mr. Hill and who object to his political methods. It is quiteprobabie that this contesting delegation may not be admitted to the convention, but their presenco wall un- doubtediy bave an influence, andit is regarded as possible that though Mr. “Hill inight be able to prevent the nomination of Grover Cleve- jand he will be utterly unable to secure his own nomination. This, if it should prove to New York men to cut each other's throats po- litically, will leave the question of a choice wide open, with the range across the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. POSSIBILITIES OF A WESTERN MAX. ‘Thore are a great many prominent politicians in Washington who believe that in case the nomination does not go to New York # western man will be selected, and some prefer a west- ern map as first choice. But when it comes to the —_— Sood SS. ae i somewhat perplexing. Though Boise is spoken of, it is vay irecly eaid that he has not been long enough firmly established in the demo- cratic party to make an available candidate, and there will be considerable opposition to him. Palmer of Iliinois is rather old, though very active for his years, and there isa strong probability that the Morrison influence in the state would be used against him. On the other hand, there being a rivalry and antagonism be- tween the two factions in the state, it is prob- able that Mr. Morrison himself would find dif- ficuity in securing that support which is neces- sary to give him strength in the convention. With these men out of the fieli the circle is narrowed considerably. if it were not for the Year of going into the south, it is believed that Carlisie might be a strong candi- date, though if he got the nomination he would be subjected to personal attacks in the caw- pales, which might be unpleasant. it secms, owever, to be a settled or practically settled fact that Kentucky will send a solid delegation for him and his name will be presented to the convention with all the fervid eloquence of southern oratory. The fact that he is the leader in tariff reform and stands firmly by all the fundamental principles of democracy goes a long way toward overcoming some of the objections to him, but still the sectional feeling will be bard to overcome. SENATOR GORMAN'S CHANCES, Following this line of thought, the political prophets of the Capitol believe that they see Gorman standing out as a strong possibility, not by reason of his original strength, but be- cause they think he is in a position to draw rupport from all the factions in the party. They coniess that some of his former tical associations may tend to weaken him, yet the fact that he is recognized among the democrats in Congress as anong the foremost men of the party in ability, amd that he has of late put himself in wita the Dest sentiments of hiv party, leads to the belief that he may develop more than ‘as & com- promise candidate. It is a current that Cleveland men prefer Gorman to Hill and that Hill men prefer him to Cleveland, while he personally has not taken sides, but is pre- serving his friendly relations with both men. ‘There may not be much to all this talk, but it is the current gossip of the bour. ———_-o-— THE NEW CITY POST OFFICE, Mr. Edbrooke, the supervising architect of the treasury. appeared before the House com- mittee on appropriations yesterday for the purpose of explaining his annual estimates for @ very early convention this year, but) RESORT TO DYNAMITE Striking Railway Men Blamed for a Terrific Explosion.

Germans Cot Down Shipments of Sheep Owing to Increased Duties. Panis, Feb. 3.—The new tariff has caused s gencral disorganization of Lasiuess connected with the import trade. The authorities are overwhelmed with protests from people who claim that their goods ought tobave been admitted under tho old rate. In some cases these claims depend upon the question of whether the a:rival of a vessel could be entered before it was actually in port. At the land fronticrs also there has been great trouble and confusion. The Germans who send sheep to tho Paris market have cut down the usual number to one-half, owing to the customs tariff, ond this hax caused anadvance in prices. ‘There ise disposition on the part of many tradesmen to advance prices on goods not affected by the tariff, partly out of a desire to make money and partiy to, make the tariff un- popular. ‘This course is strongly condemned by public opinion and an effort may be made to reach the offenders by legislation.
