Kelly WIN Work for Cleveland.
NEW YoRS, August 18th. 1Replying TO d
recent letter, John Kelly writes: First
the charge that voted against Tilden and
Hendricks in 1876 is untrue. Myself and
those associated with me did our very best
to elect Tilden and Hendricks, and what
occurred afterwarl could not be laid to US
The position of the party in the county and
State at present stands in this way: The
laboring class on whom we relied mainly
for support are now pronounced against
Cleveland, and it will be difficult for us tC
convince them that their condition would
be improved by the election of this gentle
man. We will do what can be done TO con
vince those people and hope and expect tc
be comparatively successful"
