THE CLEVELAND ISLANDER.

A Stalwat Republican Pronounoos II
Utterly False,
The correspondent Of the leading
newspaper Of one Of our great cities,
now travelling through New England,
q Republican by conviction, and one Of
the most stalwart type, said tho other
day; ~ went to Buffalo recently, and
personally Investigated the so.called
Cleveland scandal, | spent a week In
the work. went from one place Of
business to another, asking questions
regarding Grover Cleyeland'shome repu-
tatlon, and the answer was that he was
an honorable man, with good reputa-
tion. Republicans, as well as Demo-
Gratis, said the same thing. went into
every detail. The truth IL that Cleve-
land Is honored In Buffalo, am q Re-
publican, and have been one for many
years; but must say that this scandal
business Is disgraceful, and tho malign-
ant product Of campaign yindictiveness.
| am glad to be able to say that Grover
Cleveland Is an honorable man. The
speaker ls personal friend Of Mr.,
Blaine.

THE scandal az to Governor Cleveland
Is already exploded, but james g..
Blaine's record appears more and more
spotted the more II is examined, No
man should bo elected President OF this
country who has used his public station
for private gain, or whose own private
letters prove him TO be n speculator In
the securities OF corporations Hooking
for faYors In his official action. Tho
Mulligan letters are illustrations of the
character OF slippery and dishonest
politician, who never took q straight
course TO secure q desired result.

The Republicans who called on old
Judge Bacon to address Utica meet

beg of, are now wondering where they
will be- hit next, Notwithstanding tho
Judge has voted for every republican

tho Utica audience that he could not
vote for Blaine without arst killing his
conscience. As Judge Bacon was col

NO BARGAINS.

General Butler Ia q candidate" says
the New York Herald, simply be-
cause Governor Cleveland would
make no bargains. This Is a point
that the people should understand
clearly. II Governor Clevelandhad been
willing to commit himself to certain
contingent bargains with Butler, we
should have had from Butler high
sounding declaration that, having ta'
ken part In tho Democratic National
Convention, he must hold himself
bound by It's action, and is therefore
not at liberty 10 accept their nomina-
tlOns. But the Governor would not
trade. He would not mortgage the
popular favor; he could not barter with
Butler for any portion of the authority
the people may have put Into his hands,
Having failed In the Convention, Butler
did not give up the case, but would
have been satisfied If the candidate
would have pledged himself to d.
vide the results Of success, Perhaps
the opinion that hi9 price was the OK
ecutive patronage In the New Eng
land States--that Is to say, that he
should be President for one sec.
ton of the Country--is not far out,
But the candidate of tho Democracy
was like the Democracy Itself - not
ready to betray his trust by n trade that
would mortgage his official supremacy"

AS TO NEW YORK,

The advices are quite encouraging
Tammany Hall, as an organization, will
actively support Cleveland. II may be
that Cleveland has some lrreconcilable
opponents among the Iriah'Americans,
but Buffers audacity will draw their
votes from Blaine, except those who have
sold out for q mess Of pOttage. Mr.,
Kelly, II 80 disposed, could not carry the
Tammany Hall organization from the
Democratic candidates In q national
campaign. The fact that since its or
ganlzatlon eighty years ago, Tammany
has, without exception, supported the
Democratic national ticket, counts for
something. AT one Of the last meetings
Of the Tammany General Committee,
held February 20, 1884, these resolutions
we're unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED. That we affirm the time
honored allegiance OF Tammany Hall to
tho Democratic party Of the Union, and
we hold that the choice OF the National
Democratic Convention for the Office OF
President and Vice President, TO be sup.
ported during the ensuing election IL
binding upon every member OF this or
gani2ation.
RESOLVED, That we cordially indorse
the administration OF Hon. Grover CleVe'
land, Governor OF the State, for Its rigid
economy and devotion to the public In
tereat.
The Herald n few days since, in q non.
partisan estimate OF the vote Of the city,
on President, gives these figures.
According to Republican calculations,
Mr., Blaine will receive In the city OF
New York 10000 more vote than GAR
lleld, who had Si,730. Well Informed
Democrats estimate Cleyeland's vote in
this city at 10000, which IN 1900 more
votes than were given TO Hancock In
1880. The highest present estimatb put
upon the Independent vote il 5000.
Assuming these figures to be approxi-
mately correct they would stand rs fol-
lows.

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.

The PROPOSE ion TO have q conference of
the representatives of the central and north
ern counties in fair week in this city on the
matter of the proper advertising of those
sections, meets with universal favor. 1t is
everywhere con ceded that only good can
come out of such a consultation North
ern and central California counties must
act in concert, aud make these sections as
widely known as has been done in south
ern California. The plan is now certain to
be carried out, and it only remains for wise
counsels to prevail at the conference. The
possibilities before this section of the State
in inducing immigration and the settling
up of its lands, are very great. No part of
the State holds out greater inducements or
more certain rewards to the intending set
tier. We need only to be persistent in pre-
senting our claims to reap greater reward
than has fallen into the lap of southern
California. The Convention will be held
on Tuesday forenoon of the second week
of the State Fair in this city, and to it all
citizens interested in the prosperity and
advancement of the northern and central
sections of the State are invited, while the
interior towns and cities are requested to
send special delegates. We urge interior
exchanges to take hold of this matter and
aid to its success
