Before that Fatal Day—What Democrats
Think of the President's Action—
Flection Prospects In the
State of New York.
New York, Nov. 1. —The news of the
action of the president in the Sackville
matter, was glad tidings of great joy to
the democrats in all the up-town head¬
quarters and other gathering places of
the politician*. The first news of the
“sacking” of Sackville, was brought to
the Hoffman house early in the evening.
It made a small sensation in the rooms
of tho state democratic committee, and
Secretary Cordmeyer, Jr., nearly thump¬
ed a hole in bie desk ae ha emphasized
with hjs fist the remark:
“Isn't that elegant! Well, he deserved
file bounce, and I’m glad he's got it from
the president, instead of his own gov¬
ernment. It will help us immensely.”
Chairman Dunning, of the Orange
county democratic committee, who hap¬
pened to be present, called for a tele¬
graph blank and sent off the news at
once to Port Jervis, where a democratic
meeting was being held. “It will tickle
'em to death up there,” he said. “It'll
give our campaign a beautiful boom.”
Upstairs in the private rooms, where
the real work of the campaign is done,
the news was received with less demon
strati on, but with fully as much joy.
Chairman Murphy, of the state commit¬
tee, listened to the dispatch from Wash¬
ington giving the news, and then, his
face flushing under his ample gray
hair, he said: “Well, what else could
you expect of Grover Cleveland ?”
Gov. Hill was even more terse and ex¬
He was very busy, hut after

time to wrinkle the corners of his
cheek and ripple before away into with dimples in

twinkle in eye:

Commissioner Choker was just board¬

Hill, when the correspondent met

“What smile, and said nothing.

“Gpod !" he exclaimed with unction.
"Well, but its effect politically?”
“Wonderful!” and the elevator, with

downward.

said: “It was tiie best thing to do.

here, and Secretary McClellan

where John O'Byrne was

and determined that a new rope should
be placed in tho pulley at all hazards.
Jim Odin, a true blue democrat, volun¬
teered to dt» the work, and to-dav. amid
the brtathle.-s suspense of hundreds of
citizens, When he climbed to the dizzy height.
he reached the top he patted the
tip of the pole with one hand and shout¬
ed down:
“It takes a Cleveland domocrat to do
this!”
He placed a new rope in the pulley
and made the descent in safety, amid mid tF tnfe
bition plaudits of the multitude. As an exhi¬
of nerve and daring it could not
have been excelled, and Jim Odin’s name
is in everyone’s mouth. The democrats
did not omit to reward the man finan¬
cially.
Cleveland's Success Assured.
Washington, D. O., Nov. 1.—Mr. Wm.
Henry Clifford, of Portland, Me., is at
the Arlington, having come dow* to at¬
tend to a case in the supreme court. Mr.
Clifford is a son of the late Justice Clif¬
ford, who was appointed to the supreme
court by Mr. Buchanan, and, therefore,
legitimately inherits his taste for the
law. He has, however been something
of a politician, too, and in 1884 came
very near defeating Mr. Tom Hood for
congress in the Portland district. Mr.
Clifford was not surprised at the Maine
election, “for,” said h^, “Maine is a
thorough republican state. We may as
well understand that once and fbt all.
The organization of the republicans is
perfect. but Manley Mr. Blaine is, and is not that a good organ¬ the
izer, answers

cratic state Massachusetts before Maine is. Indeed., I

A democrat,
who was until reoently a party leader in
New York, said to-day: “I came over
from New York last night. On my way
to th« train I met Sunset Cox. He had
just returned^rom his canvassing tour in
Michigan, and he was enthusiastic, even
exuberant, as to democratic prospects
i* that State. He said to mg: 1 don’t
know any more about New York than
what my friends tell me, but I assure
you that we will carry Michigan.’ I had
quite a little chat,” continued the gen¬
tleman, “with Sam Cox, and he really
believes that we will earry Michigan.
He told me that Michigan was more
surely democratic than New York.”
Indlao* to Vote in Minnesota.
White Earth Agency,M inn.,Nov.1.—
For the first time in the history of Min¬
nesota, Indians on the reservation are go¬
ing to vote this year. Those who vote
will do so under the provision of the
Dawes bill. Each voting precinct was
established by Gov. McGill under the in¬
terpretation of tlie Dawes bill some time
ago, and judges of election from among
the Indians have reoently been appoku¬
do. The Indians have in some way got
the idea that if they vote they will have
to pay taxes and work the roads, and
they don’t take kindly to either, This is
the principal should not argument vote. The with Indians them why held
they the subject to-day. Such of
a council on
them as ean read have beeh supplied
with the usual campaign documents on
thp tariff, etc., and while none of them
talked much on this point, the idea of
taxation cuts quite a figure. Old White
Cloud, the Chippewa chief, counseled
the braves not to vote.
He said: “What can you gain if you
vote ? You do not know whether your
vote will be legal, and it may only mix
us up in troubles that may hurt us. Our
lands may be taxed if we vpte.”
There are several hundred Indians on
the reservation who may posSbly week. be in¬
duced by the leaders to vote next democrats
An attempt* is being made by
to get them all to vote, and they are try¬
ing to enforce the unit rule for the dem¬
ocratic ticket. It is reported That money
has been sent to the reservation to buy
up the Indian vote.

in suoh glee in the morning,that respect¬
able republicans by tho hundred would
