very slowly, but by tomorrow the rush will
begin. Chief interest centers in New York.
Cleveland's managers and friends are large
ly represented in the city and they are not at
all backward in pushing the claims of
their candidate. They confidently rely on
the votes of 40 delegates out of the " which
compose the delegation from New York.
In support of their statements, they refer
the public to the delegates themselves. The
list of alleged Cleveland delegates are as fol-
lowsi
Manning, Cooper, Murphy, Cozans, Hew-
lit, Norton, keenan,, Thompson, Fellows,
Whitney, White, JaclIman, Tilden, Williams,
Parker Gilbert, Corning, Banks, Green,
Paige, Weed, Graves, Malone, Townsend,
Mory, Fitzgerald, Hall, Apgar, Flanagan,
Leary, Hanlon, Lane, Lockwood, Wiley,
Willis, Murray, Mcmahon, Schen-40.
1t will be seen that the Kings county del
egates with the exception Of Mr.. McKeane,
who, it is said, has openly declared himself
to be Cleveland man, are not mentioned,
although Cleveland's friends say they are
sure to get them. No one knows who the
seven Tammany delegates will support, but
it is presumed it will be Bayard II this
statement be true and the figures Of the
Cleveland men be correct there can be no
doubt of his ability to swing
the state delegation into line
and carry matters with full hand. But no
one hereaways doubts the ability Of Tam
many's schemes to raise a first class row if
they hive an opportunity. If list showing

soon find it out, as the dele
gates are rapidly arriving-unless, in
deed, the New York men do some tai
,preYaricating, and talk one way only to vote
another.
Ex-senator Herman, Of New York state,
came to this city this morning on pleasure
trip, but some how he succeeded in getting
considerable insight into the political situa-
ton. lie was found in his room at the
Grand Pacific hotel and asked how he thought
the New York delegation would stand on the
first ballot.
II do not know Of my own personal
knowledge" said the ex-senator, "but so far
as | can ascertain from inquiry among the
friends of Cleveland / think ne will have
from forty-Gve to fifty votes on the first bal
lot. I really believe that Mr.. Cleveland will
be nominated for the first place on the Dem
ocratic presidential ticket He is the most
popular man think of the many who have
been named for that position, and do not
think there is doubt of his ability to
carry New York. He will have no opposit-
ion in our state among the Democrats, and
am inclined to believe he will receive the
support of most Of the Independent Repub-
leans. Jno. Kelly now seems to be opposed
to his nomination, it is true, but he has al
ready said he will support the nominee, and
think he will keep his promise"
''Wil Mr. Cleveland in your opinion re-
ceiye much opposition from the working
mem"
at is said that the workingmen will OPP
pose him on the gruond that he vetoed the
elevated railroad bill Now do
not think that they will do this
because Mr.. Cleyeland's action in vetoing
that bill was based on sound legal principles
and ne could not do otherwise. His action
in that matter has been approved by the
most prominent lawyers in the state.
do not see why the worldngmen
should oppose him on this ground.
own the New York delegates favor
tariff for revenue only plank in the plat
formiN
"a do not know whether they will or not,
but do not think they will allow a free trade
plank to be inserted As the Democratic
party now stands in New York state we can
win in the coming fight. The time has not
come when we can safely demand free trade.
1t would not be just to those interests of the
country which have been built up during the
past twenty years under a protective tariff to
endauger their existence by introducing free
trade. / am not in favor OF the payment of
such excessive taxes though as are being en-
forced. The tariff should be so adjusted so
as to heavily tax luxuries, and be light ON
necessities"

Il cannot from my observations say that

They do not want the continuance Of the
heavy taxes which were levied to pay

the pouring of such large sums into the
National treasury and burdening the people

not know whether Raudsu will get any of
