are instructed for. The Randall mana
gers can not gain any movement to de-
stroy the unit rule without destroying
themselves 1t Is believed the only forces
that would support Kelly's demand are
those of Butler and Bayard. II Kelly
makes the fight it will be out of sheer
desperation and desire to avail himself
of every opportunity to display
the New York opposition to
Cleveland. Kelly's opposition has
aroused q good deal of bitterness
among the Governors New York sup
porters. He is charged with becoming
enraged when he heard OF the action OIL
the Kings County men, and declaring that
II the Governor was nominated Tammany
would not lift a hand to elect him. This
caused forcible expressions of disgust In
Cleveland centers, and such sentences as
"Go over to Blaine If you want to- "If
we can't elect President without John
Kelly, we don't want one. Let's get
rid of the kicker nov and be done with
him"
kelly's friends stoutly deny that he
would work against Cleveland if he were
nominated. They say Gle is too good
u Democrat" Despite this view, ru
NOR gained credence that the Tammany
sachem had hit upon novel plan of re-
venge 1t was to the effect that in case
of Cleyeland's nomination, Labor Con-
vention is to be called for the purpose of
nominating Butler for President, and
man of kelly's selection for the second
place. Kelly, as well as Buffers follow
ers, Indignantly denied any such a
scheme.
John Breen, Mayor of Lawrence, Mass,
said:
al do not believe in the kelly-Butler
coalition rumor. The majority of, if
not the whole, delegation of Massachu-
sets would be up in arms against it.
Butler himself does not think about it.
At our meeting yesterday the General
addressed us at length All that he asked
of us was to stand by him as long as he
had reasonable chance, and that is
what we are going to do. He does not
ask us to throw our votes away which we
would do if we voted for any other than
the Democratic ticket Why, sir, we
Massachusetts Democrats have too serit
Gus II duty to 20 fooling about in thai
way. We have to redeem our State this
fall"
Notwthsia nding these denials in sew
eral southern and Western States, the
story, helped along by those interested in
Other candidates, is said to have sent
quite a number of delegates from Cleve-
land to Bayard or Mcdonald. Bayard
gains especially are reported in the South.
Kelly keeps in his room. lie has two
parlors In one of them he remains and
receives favored few. In talking with
few friends in the hearing of United
Press representative, he denounced the
alleged interviews with him that have
,ri Ia said wit fnaIipu
that he had not been interviewed" by
any newspaper men except in the most
general way; that he had declined to say
anything for publication; that he had
not authorized Il single utterance such as
has been put in his mouth. "Of course"
he laughingly remarked, "my views are
pretty well known, and | suppose the
versatility and fertility of reporters do
the rest Butt he added, "while want
it understood that do not figure in news
paper interviews, | do not hesitate to say
that the action OF the New York
delegation is great mistake, | feel 1t so.
| | know it does not represent New York
sentiment. If it did, would gladly sup
port it. / want TO see the old party come
/ into power. ! want, as you like" turn
ing to Mr.. Belmont, "to say for once, that
if we are beaten it is not John Kelly's
fault. | am not the power behind this
anti Cleveland move, and Tammany is not.
/ 1t is the people. They voice it. They
declare that they will not support Cleve-
land. Men in New York, entirely re-
moved from Tammany influences declare
/ II; men know who know nothing of our
political differences, VINO care nothing
for John Kelly or Tammany, declare
that they will not vote for Cleveland
I lao Infa,tinp q from tho class nf
/ Democrats we must have to WIN, work
ingmen, artisans, laborers, men who
| know nothing of factlons-don't even
| know NEAL are Cleveland's foes, be-
| cause they believe in some way more or
I less vague, his course as Governor has
been against them. That feeling
can not be overcome. | might
say that would like Tammany to sup
port the ticket, that would amount to
nothing. 1t is not Tammany; it is not
me; it is not any influence that Tam
many can idly bring that opposes Cleve-
/ land; but it is the knowledge that have,
the deep-seated feeling that the great
/ mass of New York voters have against
/ this man, that makes me oppose him.
4 He simply can not carry the State, and
we must have the State to WIN"
1t Is generally conceded that Tam
many'S opposition of itself is not doing
Cleveland much HARM but the steady fire
upon him from all over New York from
Democratic leaders, papers, representa-
tive lrishmen, workingmen, societies,
etc, is having its effect. Despite the
efforts of the Cleveland corps to check
the spread OF fear that their mau can not
be elected, it seems to grow little.
Many are their plans for giving assurance
to wavering delegates. Their most eff
fective argument Is that the Republican
detection from Blaine will more than
equal the Democratic bolt of Cleveland.
"Nr. Tilden is the greatest and wisest
man in our party" they say; she knows
New York as we'll as he knows his own
yard. He says Cleveland is the man
above all others to carry the State"
Anything like satisfactory estimate OF
the strength OF the candidates is impoSsi-
BILE, owing to the doubt prevailing in
many delegations. A Cleveland man
figures the Governors strength as fol-
lows New England is solid for Cleve-
land, excepting Massachusetts,, and
he will get few votes from
