Golden sentences OF Gov. Cleveland.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA man came to me
yesterday with the following yarn: Mayor
Grace, of New York, did not register nor
vote at the election, though he was a direct
ing politician, because one Boyd, corpor-
alton attorney under Whitney, sent him
word that if he voted he would be chal-
lenged, and his case presented to the grand
jury Us of a man, not a citizen. My in
forInant further said that an unsavory
Judge here put Grace through his natura,i-
cation. so he could be eligible for mayor or
his promise to appoint Boyd to something
big. The mayor not keeping the
wicked promise, both the Judge
and Boyd threatened him two years
later. That must be a fine judge if tn
story be true.
General Martin McMahon, a warm.
Hancock man. said Sunday that the next
nomination lay between Bayard and Cleve-
land. Mr.. Levi Maish. ex-Democratic con-
gresham from York, Pa, says Bayard is
dead all through that region, not so much
for winking at the river and harbor bill as
for voting to retain the tax On matches. an
odious Wilmington monopoly of which
Bayard has been the protector. Maish SAYS
the monopoly bought up match factories
in his congressional district 10 increase
their monopoly. and that Bayard's init
mate relations with the match bosses are
discussed all over that Democratic region.
He says Governor Patteson is
an able man. a good public
speaker, and full of will. but
that Pennsylvania has no candidate what
ever for president, and harmony in the
state will be subserved by keeping presi-
dental q~uarreIs away from it.
Hugh Hastings continues to show that
the boss system of yesterday was a small
thing compared to that OF old days. He
says dewitt Clinton's letters to his friend,
Mr.. Post: which were edited by John Bige-
low ana published in Hesper's Mogozine,
show him to have been the most brazen
and shameless political boss in the nations
history. His life is a record of political
intrigue and corruption, bargaining to
secure tire spoiis and elevate himself to
position. Our state has never
been without political bosses.
Hastings on this evidence calls for Arthur
to remov everybody and give openings to
the party workers. A lot of WORKOUT, in
competent and jobbing political hacks
take command of their party, arraign its
policy in congress and its nominations be-
fore the people to suit themselves, renomi-
nate jobbers all over the country, seize the
control Of conventions in insoleat disre-
gard of the will of the voters, and get
frightfully beaten. Therefore the presi-
dent is to be urged, it seems, in the inter
est of these defeated and disgraced poll
%ticians, to crafty their malice, to salute
over the city's appointments to
make war on SUCH servants of
the people as had the honesty
and independence to- resist and help
overthrow these shameless political gam
blers. If Mr.. Arthur counts among his
friends" any one silly enough to give him
such advice, he had better strike him off
his list. He can not do anything which
will so quickly and surely and utterly
ruin him as to let the people ever sus-
pect that he harbors a design to SO grossly
vice.
Gov. Cleveland is said by a friend of
mine to be a modest bachelor, firm. de-
termined, not an accomplished man, but a
sound lawyer, and to spend his income
without avarice or meanness, having no.
body to keep. This sentence is much
quoted here:
"WG must make our partnership in
significant in the fulillment of this trust.
Every Democrat must be a patriot devoted
to the cause of pure government and to
higher citizenship. The more he is allied
to such principles, the better Democrat he
is. Let Us, by our official and every day
conduct. impress upon the minds of the
people that their cause is well placed"
1t is whispered around town that Tom
Bayard wrote his own interview. This is
like kissing the back of your hand in a
railroad tunnel to show that you are be-
loved. These presidential fellows are
anxious to interview now It is the royal
road to the White house.
There are rumOrs in the air of official
changes Of great moment, involving the
positions of members of the cabinet. The
president only returned to the city Sun
day, but also many stories of what he in
tended to do have preceded him. There is
possibly a grain of truth in the clouds of
gossip and chat that are blown about the
departments and hotels and upon the ave-
nue.. On one side it is asserted that the
president has had his eyes opened by the
election to the fact Of which he was
not before s.ware, that his advisers
do not represent the majority element
in the party; that the Republicans
in the states from which four of his seven
cabinet officers we're chosen revolted at the
party management and elected either
Democratic state tickets or a majority of
Democratic congressman. It is said that
the president will, after the beginning of
