IN FAVOR OF CLEVELAND.
Prominent Anti-MonopOlists Who
Will Vote Tor the Reform
Governor.

Judging from the sentiments ex pressed
last evening by great msj ,rity Of the
members of the Executive Com mmittee of
the New York Couaty Anti. Monopoly
League, General B B,njsmin F. Butler will
receive very few. votes from the anti
monopol cts of this city, Tue epairman
of the committee Mr. E. NJ. Wright
said that while he thought it impolilic
to declare himself as favoring any ofthe
candidates until ter all the letters o.
acceptance had been issued, he would
nevertheless state, and state mist en-
phatically, that under no circumstances
would he vote for General Bufler.
"Wili you vote for Blaine 7" asked the
reporter.
II do not think there is much chance
of that either, to tell the truth" contin.
ued Mr.. Wright. Though the anti
monopolsts do not wish to publicly in
siorse any candidate just vet, th nix il
safe to say the great msj 'rity OF them
will vote for Grover Clevelsnd. II you
wish to know how l iniivi lualv will
vote will tell YOU by saying that | in
tend to follow the Herald, for l consider
that the Herald is, without ever being
demagog cal, the truest friend and advo-
cate that the iaboriDg man and the anti
monopolists has"
sThen. if that's the case, you are pret.
ty sure to vnte for Cleveland" inter
rupted Mr. Morris, another member OF
the Executive Committee "For one,
know | will cat nv vote for the reform
Governor, and think you will fnd
most OF US will do the same. No true
anti-monopoist will vote for Butler
His following, 10 my opinion, will be
composed almost exclusivelyiof social
lists, cranks. demagogue, and those who
think Buffers success would.enable them
in some wav to rob the government
The New York County Autobiography
League was formed not to rob the rail
roads nor 10 needessly hsrass them in
any way, but for the purpose of making
the railroads live up to their charters,
and if there is. a man in this countrv
who has the backbone TO make the cor
poraiions keep their faith with the peo-
pie it is Grover Cleveland"
|. Ex Senator Boyd declined to express
an opinion as to whom he now favored,
but be said very distinctly that he did
not think any circumstances would arise
which would make him vote for General
| Butler.
Mr.. Tomlinson, another strong anti
monopolist, express sed himself in the
strongest terms in opposition to the
"anti monopoly candidate" NO." be
said, "never as long as live will I vote
for Butler. do not hesitate to declare
my choice. 1t is Grover Cleveland. and
when our State Convention meets am
pretty sure YOU will AMI that Governor
Cleveland will be the choice for Presi-
dent Of the auti-monopolists of New
