what the Visit Of Manning TO the south
Means.

"
Means.
New YoRE, February 2l.-As to the visit
of Daniel Manning TO the South, some Of
Mr.. Kelly's friends believe that II Is in the
interest of the nomination Of Governor
Cleveland FOR President. There appears to
be no doubt that the Manning machine
Democrats want Cleveland nominated.
They are working quietly, but they are at
work all the same. They rely on the gem
eral belief that New York is the pivotal
State and that Cleveland's great majority in
lss2 will assist his nomination. The oppo-
siton Of Kelly to Cleveland is treated light
ly. In reference TO it yesterday, member
OF the Democratic State Committee said:
"Mr. Kelly's OPposition
will assist rather than iniurs Cleveland.
He opposed Tilden, but Tilden was nomi-
mated and he carried the State. Kelly
favored Hancock, and that gentleman
failed to carry the State. That Is logic
enough for Democrats, who everywhere
know the character Of Tammany Hall. II
