division among the anti-machine men was the OPP
portunitv of the State officials, but after all their
bad work and deals they were afraid to try con-
clnsions on a direct vote Hence they consented to
n COMPROMISE by which General Faulkner one OF
Mr. Flowers chief supporters, and Senator
Jacobs, who is well known to be unfrlendly
to Cleveland were chosen as deegates-at-large'
OF course "Boss" Manning and ex-Mayor cooper,
the other delegates-at-large, are for Cleveland VI
the district delegates both sides are claiming
majority careful canvass leads to the conclusion
that Cleveland has a majority OF them. AS
near as can be ascertained there are al
cleveland delegates, II distinctively anti
Cleveland without avowed preferences, D
anti-Cleyeland for Flower and unpledged. Most
of theunpledged delegates are from Brooklyn. Ii
the arrangement at Chicago is satisfactory to
"Bossn Mclaughlin, he may throw his Brooklyn
delegates for Cleveland, providing
majority of them so declare and the
Chicago convention recognizes that method
of sitting the honest voice of the party. But
Cleyelands principal strength is derived from the
assertion that he can draw Independent votes. 1t
is the same Independents who are claiming to have
broken up the AMT rule in the Republican
marty. They will hardly be likely to de-
clare for candidate selected by the unit
rule. If at all, and whose chief
support comes from the Halls" and most hagrant
abuse of power in the way of a machine made up OF
Office holders.
OPPOSITION TO CLEVELAND IN THE COUNTRY DIS
TRICTs.
The opposition to Cleveland here came prlnci-
pally from the country districts. Had 1T not been
for the aid of the County Democracy, secured 10
the Governor by the veto of the Tenure of Office
bill-which act retains in Office a motor
ions "boss," denounced by a Grand Jury
and a Legislative Investigating Committee, and
through sheriff against whom grave charges are
nendinp Governor Cleveland would have had no
standing in the convention. His friends were even
then driven to the necessity of making
IDEALS the full effect Of which will be known
In the future; and after all they were afraid to
test the Governors strength on vote before the
convention for fear the opposition to him would be
so great as practically to ruin him at Chicago.
They worked by indirect methods, and have won
doubtful victory.
THE CONVENTION CONTROLLED BY BOSSES"
A glance at the men prominent in this convention
reveas the fact that the party is still under the
control of the same men who have ruled 1t in the
past. few fresh name appears upon the list, but
the bosses sacrificed nothing by allowing o
few men to como in. One-third of the convention
was under the control of five DUSses' those ilohn
