morning, but he left early in the afternoon for
Cincinnati. He was simply passing through the
city on business, and his visit had nothing what
ever to do with politics. In an interview with
a News reporter here Mr.. Henry said in speak
ing of the probable result of the election In New
York: IT think there is no doubt that Blaine
will carry the State, for nearly the entire work
ing element is against Cleveland. The reason
of their opposition to the Democratic nominee is
this: Cleveland accepted the gubernatorial nom
ination two years ago on an anti-monopoly plat
FORM but he vetoed every anti-monopoly meas
ure which came before him. This, too, will &C
count for John Kelly's opposition to Cleveland
Kelly helped to nominate him, and secured him
the workingmen's votes by pledging that Cleve-
land would be true to them But Cleveland, as
Governor, falsifed every pledge. and thus placed
Kelly in a false position toward the working
men. If Kelly should go to the mountain tops
and call aloud upon Tammany to support Cleye-
land he could not persuade 10000 OF its 5OOOO
voters to do So"

at the shape Of his head and then read his letter
There is not word in it that statesman would
utter. The people are not in the habit of taking
a statesman or a gentleman for sheriff. Think
of John Quincy Adams as sheriff! Cleveland Is
known in Buffalo as something of hummer l

greatest thing he ever did was to hang two
men.

Guiding the suffrages Of the Anti-monoposts,
the Greenbackers and the. laboring classes"
Basing his prediction upon the assertion that the
old parties have outliyed their usefulness and
upon the observation of the history of other
parties, Mr.. Henry said that the Anti monopo-
lists would achieve grand national victory IN
1888 ssThe defeat Of Cleveland will break up
the Democratic party he said. We Will
capture the Congress of 1886, and thencetorWard
