rule, also with some of the delegates
anxious to get away from the men they
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 Kclly's demand are
those of Butler and BaYard. If 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 a good deal OF bitterness
among the Governors New York sup
porters. He is charged with becoming
enragcd when he heard OF the action OF
the Kings County men, and declaring that
II the Governor was nominated Iammany
would not lift hand to elect him. This
caused iorcible expressions OF disgust IN
Cleveland centers, and such sentences as
600 over to Blaine if you want to-" "lf
we can't elect President without John
Kelly, we don't want one. Let's get
rid of the kicker now a2d be done with
him"
Kelly's friends stoutly deny that he
would work against Cleveland II ne were
nominated. They say ale Is too good
a Democrat" Despite this view, u ru-
NOR gained credeuce that the Tammany
Sachcm had hit upon novel plan OF re-
vcngc. 1t was to the effect that in case
OF Clcyeaud's nomination, a Labor Con-
ycntion is to be called for the purpose Of
nominating Butler for President, and a
man Of Kely's selection for the second
place. Kelly, as well as Buffers follow
ors, Indignantly denied any such a
scheme.
John Breen, Mayor of Lawrence, Mass,

81 DO not believe in the Kelly-Bntler
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 seTit
Gus L duty to 90 fouiing about in tina
way. We have TO redeem our state this
fall"
Notwithstanding these denials in sew
erai Southern and Western States, the
story, helped along by those Interested in
other candidates, is said to have sent
quite number OF delegates from Clcye-
land to Bayard or Mcdonald. Bayard
gains especially are reported in the South.
Kelly keeps in his room. He has two
par.ors. In one Of them he remains and
receives a favored few. In talking with
q few friends in the hearing of United
Press representative, he denounced the
alleged interviews with him that have
been printed. He said with some feeling
that he had not been "interyiewed' by
any newspaper men except in the most
general way; that he had declined to say
anything for publication, that he had
not authorized q single utteranCe such as
has been put in his mouth. "Of course, ~
he laughiugly remarked, "my views are
pretty well known, and | suppose the
versatility and fertility of reporters do
the rest. But" he added, 'while | want
it understood that do not figure in news
L
that the action of the New York
delegation is a great mistake, feel it 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 Tammauy is not.
II is the people. They voice it, They
declare that they will not support Cleye-
land. Men in New York, entirely re-
moved from Tammany Influences declare
it; men know who know nothing of our
political differences, who care nothing
for John Kelly or Tammany, declare
that they will not vote for Cleveland.
The detection is from the very class of
Democrats we must have to WIN, work
ingmen, artisans, laborers, men who
know nothing Of faCtions--don't even
know NEAL are Cleyeland'S foes, be-
cause they believe in some way more or
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 thatl have,
the deep-Seated feeling that the great
mass of New York voters have against
this man, that makes me oppose him,
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 man can not
be elected, it seems to grow little.
Many are their plans for giving assurance
to wayering delegates. Their most eff
tective argument is that the Republican
detection from Blaine will more than
equal the Democratic bolt Of Cleveland.
"Mr. Tildcn is the greatest and wisest
man in our party" they say; she knows
New York as well 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-
