CHICAGO, September lO.-Judge
George w. Cothran, who has spent a
large portion of his time in New York
since the democratic Convention, ar
rived home day or so ago He was
formerly a resident of Buffalo, and
while living there was elected an hon
orary member OF Tammany Hall, a
position he still holds.
''Tammany Hall will support Cleve-
land loyalty" said the Judge tonight.
my acquaintance with Mr.. Kelly is
such that | am fully aware of his posi-
tion upon this question. II Mr. Grady
makes another speech like the one he
made Monday night he will oe ex-
PEELED from the Tammany organizs.
tion,' or will be compelled to resign,
After Tammany has formally indorsed
Cleveland it will hold the largest
meeting New York has ever seen, and
John Kelly will preside. From my
observation, l am confident that New
York City will give Cleveland the larg-
est majority any democratic candidate
ever received The State will give him
an immcnce majority. Let me give
you some examples of how the canvass
is progressing. Just after Cleveland
was nominated the Republicans
claimed that Erie County would give
Blaine 1000 majority. Its natural Re.
publican majority is $500, but some
dissatisfaction with Cleveland because
he did not sign some local bills caused
them to believe he would lose a great
many votes. Since tha; time there
has been great revolution Buffalo
is now the best organized city in the
Union. There are fifty-three Cleve
land Clubs in that city. One Of
them, known as the Cleveland
Legion. is composed of eight
hundred of the best citizens, and its
members comprise both Democrats
and Independent Republicans 1t is
now believed that Cleveland will
carry Erie County by 1000 maiori
ty. Niagara County, which ad-
joins Erie, the Republicans have
been claiming by $500. 1t is
now estimated that Cleveland will car
ry that county by at least 500. This
means that change OF 10000 votes
has been made over the early estimates
in those two counties alone.
"Another thing that is favorable to
our cause is the position of Mr. Pur-
cell, editor of the Rochester Unaoa.
Some time ago he resigned his posi-
tion as candidate for Elector on
the Democratic ticket In few
days he will preside over Demo
cratic meeting in Rochester,
and will make speech supporting
Cleveland. The Independent Repub-
lican movement is constantly growing.
The Democratic State Committee has
the names of sixty thousand Republi-
cans IN 1900 of the precincts outside
of the city who will not vote for Blaine.
These names are all registered, and l
examined them myself. Mr.. Conkling's
position is worth twenty thousand
votes for Cleveland. He said the
other day that the Blaine Re-
pubIicans thought Cleveland a
good enough man to elect Governor,
and that other Republicans might
think he was good enough for Presi.
dent This statement has already
created a wonderful effect upon his fol.
lowers, and they are now going to
Cleveland's support. When we con-
slider all these facts, and the addition
al circumstance that New York has
never vet failed to give her Electoral
vote to her Democratic candidate FOR
President, there can be no doubt OF
what she will do this fall''
