toga information leaks out that no matter
whether Mr.. Kelly endorses the Chicago
ticket or concludes to oppose it the effect
will be the same. The boss will do all he
can to defeat Cleveland. 1t is limited that
his delay in declaring open warfare against
the tidal wave governor" means this ana
nothing more. The inspectors of elections
are to be appointed by the police commits
sioners next month. Now should Tammany
under Kelly's direction bolt the nomina
ton of Cleveland that organization
under the election of the state would not be
entitled to consideration in the appointment
of these influential officials. After the APP
pointments are really made then the boss
will be at liberty to make any public or
private bargain he pleascs with the enemy.
OF course he can be efficiently aided in this
scheme by the two Republican commission
ers and their Tammany ally, Mr.. Sidney P.
Nichols Tammany, therefore, may or may
not endorse the ticket, but 1t is thoroughly
understood that Kelly will leave
no stone unturned to beat Cleye-
land. With part of the election
machinery in New York under their control
the adherents of Kelly in their respective
districts can secretly trade off the national
ticket for local advantage. The amount Of
consideration in cash or patronage that Kelly
will receive in return must depend upon the
size of the article he is able to transfer.
About one-half of Kellys committee will
vote for Cleveland, but they just now make
this declaration with bated breath, also alb
jectly servile are the men with whom the
boss packs his organization.
4 well-known New York Democrat re-
marked privately while rested on the piazza
of the Grand Union: at looks as though
some of the county Democracy leaders were
willing 10 let Kelly get such a hold in the city
that Gov. Cleveland will be compelled to
make deal with him.
At this stage Of the canvass, then, the real
power OF Kelly for evil is a matter for some
discussion in Saratoga. 1t is generally con-
coded by farseeing politicians that the Dem
Ucrats will do far better by utterly ignoring
the Tammany boss as "a political factor, than
in holding out any iuducement whatever for
him TO remain within the ranks of the party
he has so often betrayed.
In canvassing the chances of the election
Unlike Hancock'5 nomination, they say that
of the governor grows with time. Hancock
went Off with bang and grand flourish of
trumpcts, and in less than a month he be-
gan to latten out. Cleveland is growing in
strength every day. Many Irishmen, car
ried away by false notions of Blaine's friend
ship to their race, 1t is considered will vote
for the plumed knight, but the Germans are
the other way. 1t is estimated that 80 per
cent Of the German vote throughout the
country will go to Cleveland.
Upon the return of ''Black Jack" Logan
from the west he will again visit Mr. Blaine
at his Maine home. The two candidates will
decide upon the manner OF conducting the
cinyass, for Mr.. Blaine said to friend from
Pennsylvania before the nomination that If
lie should be selected to lead the ticket he
wished to have something to say as to the
manner in which the work OF the campaign
is to be done. Though nothing is agreed
upon yet there is n very strong desire among
Mr.. BIaine's personal friends in Ohio that he
shall come to their aid and make make four
or five speeches in the canvass just before
the October election. He went there in 1876
and again In 1850, and us his own election Is
at stake now his friends believe he will not
hesitate 10 come.
The Washington HFruld says: From In
diana the news is unfavorable to the Repub-
Leans. Heretofore there have been three
Democratic factions In that state. The first
was made up of followers of Senator Voor-
hecs, who is particularly strong in the lower
Wabash river region and the western part of
the state. The second includes the personal
following Of eX-Gov Hendricks, and
the third, those who have pinned their
political faith to Senator Mcdonald Since
the Democratic national convention these
elements have been thoroughly fused into
one harmonious body Mr.. Voorhees, is to be
returned to the senate, and Gov Hendricks
Is to receive the fullest support Of his party in
his race for the vice presidency Senator
Harrison never was popular among the
Indiana farmers, because of his aristocratic
tendencies and Mr.. Mcdonald is to be sent
