New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-01-19

place at regular Democratic caucus. 1ney
placed their opposition on high moral grounds
declaring that Jacobs being friend to monop-
olies they could not in ustics to their " convic-
tionsn give him their votes. On the 10th OF
January, last year, The TRIBUNE published a
report of an interview with Mr.. Kelly In
which he said: ave do not object to Mr.. ia
gcobs on personal grounds and We do not IN
" tend to bring any personalities into this con-
@test We will not support any candidate who
has been identified with the interests oil
a1noneyed corporations Unfortunately Tor ME-.
@Jacobs it Is we'll known that he has acted IN
the past in the interest of corporations" All
the Tammany Senators talked in the same
strain. That was year ago. On thursday
last The same Mr.. Jacobs was elected PresidehC
DrO teD of the same Senate. He could not nave
been chosen without the votes OF the Iammahy
Senators, and he got them. He has not changed
since last year, but Tammany, which then was
independent and defiant, is now subseryient anu
humble. The same radical change IN J0hn
Kelly's relation to the party was shown In the
course which his representatives in the Assem-
bly pursued on the Clerkship of that body
Last year Tammany would have none OF Bunn
in order to make sure of Bunn's defeat they
actually went as far as to vote Tor the hepuoi-
can nominee But this year, when 1llden once
more put forward Bum for the same place,
Tammany, per General Splnola, roared as
gently "a sucking dove that the nomination
be made unanimous And so too last year the
Tammany legislators in Senate and Assembly
declined to vote for Mr.. McKelway, the editor
of the leading Tilden organ, for Regent OF the
University This year they veted tor him
without protest.
And how effectively Governor Cleveland has
cooperated with the Irregular" Democrats OF
the Senate and Assembly in snubbing Tammany.
Mr.. Lamont, leading Tildenite, whose
candidacy in 1852 for Clerk of the Senate
aroused the consuming ire OF the Iammany
Senator's, is made private secretary to his tx
cellency. Mr.. Herman, son OF Mr.. Ilidens
chef lieutenant in the Mohawk Valley, is made
Railroad Commissioner. Mr.. Shannahan
another pronounced Tilden man who was
backed, among others, by Lucus Roblnson-the
man that Kelly ran against for Governor-is
made Superintendent of Public Works.
We submit these facts without further COM
ment. They speak for themselves in tones
rather louder than these emanating from the
lips OF the average fog-hOrn Before extend
ing our sympathy to Mr.. Kelly we desire to be
informed how he feels. Perhaps he has
acquired positive relish for dust and is ready
to make an affidavit that he would rather bite
IL than bite into the latest and iuciest Office
within the gift of the Democracy in the Execu-
tive chair or in the Legislature. But while
reserving our sympathy, We beg leave to assure
him that IN the opinion of impartial observers
Governor Cleveland and the rest of the "Tegu-
lar ," Democracy are treating him with fla
rrantlv ostentatious ingratitude and contempt.
@In the interest Of harmony they are holding
his nose uneommonly close to the grndstone
and are turning the stone uncomlnonly last
