CLEVELAND AND WHITNEY Said to be Ready to Sign the Pro clamation. Nothing Direct From Cleveland. By telegraph to The Times. N ICW YORK, Nov. A new De nioeracy. a reorganisation of the party, with temporary issues eliminat ed, is advocated by men who have held high places in the party's coun cils. Their view's were obtained by The Journuly which sent messages to leading Democrats requesting them "to voice their opinion as to the causes of Bryan's defeat, and ta suggest a basis for a reconstruction of the party. WHAT DICKINSON SAYS." Don M. Dickinson states that previ ous to the election a meeting was held In New York to discuss the reorgani zation: of tbe party, and it was re solved to ixsue a. call signed by Grover Cleveland, William C. Whitney Abram S. Hewitt and other prominent Demo crats as the first step to bring this about. Dickinson was here a few days before the election and had a confer ence with Mr. Cleveland. WHITNF.Y'S IDEA. Whitney says free silver and impe rialism were responsible for 'Bryan's defeat, and adds that when the De- j nioeracy surreuders to a man who twice loses New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, "our old bat tle grounds, by majorities, unprece dented in the history of the country, it. is evident that rigorous .measures in the way of repudiating- false gods and false principles are required." SENSIBLE. SAYS HFAV1TT. Abram S. Hewitt said he had heard nothing of Dickinson's project, but thought it a sensible thing to do, and that it, ought to be done. . Dickinson, in his statement said a call Will be issued in two weeks ap pealing to all Democrats to unite upon a declaration of principles on which the party can . be assured of victory four years hence. ' Nothing has been heard direct from Mr. Cleveland. 'S VIEW'S. Too Early to Talk of Party Re organization. By teleeraph to The Time's-.' - WASHINGTON.; Nov. R."It Is' too early io talk or even think about re organisation," sniil Senator Gorman, of. Maryland, today. i "The defeat was'' sw everwhelming and thip knockouts complete that we must have time, to recover our breath before mn.klng any predictions or cal culations as to the future policy of the, party. It is not time to indulge in criminations or recriminntions. but we must accept the result as the ealm and deliberate judgment cf the- voters of the country after deep considera tion cf their own Individual interests. "As I look at it, the result was brought about by the combined ef forts not only, of the owners of great commercial enterprises and employ ers of large forces iof working people, but by the votes of a majority of op eratives of great establishments and the working classes generally, which joined 'with the plain practical busi ness people indicating thmt it. would be unwise to disturb the property of the present by experimenting with a new axlministration which was pledged to reverse and set aside all the prac tical business advantages now enjoyed bv the great mass of industrious peo ple. ':' "What Mr. Bryan's future intentiorwt' may be, 1 have no means of knowing. but he may conclude to retire from the center of the Klitical stage for tna present, and rest content with two gallant, but unsuccessful efforts to rescue the Presidency from the grasp of the Jiepublican party." .,.

To the Evening Times: I observe that In your table of figures, estimating the Senatorial primary vdte of Wakgh county, published last evening, you give Gen. Carr thirty -one (31) vote In the second division of the Fourth ward. Gen. Carr received only nineteen votes at our bcx. The two, divisions of the Fourth ward (of which Mr. Simmons Is a resident) gave Mr. Simmons 165 votes and Gen. Carr CS or a little more than three to one. - Mr. Simmons' home ward Is therefore the banner Simmons ward of the city a fact of which Mr. Simmons' friends here are proud."
