Tammany Hall and Cleveland

AT the ldmmduy AAoiA hNN''"S
Hon. John Kelly said that the organ
ization would support Cleveland.
In the New York Star, the re ognized
organ of Mr.. Kelly and Tammany
Hall, in the same number in which |
appears an account of the meeting ap'
pears the following editorial;
At the same time we cannot deny |
that Buffers candidacy is likely to
prove fatal to Cleveland's chances, be-
cause of the strong Democratic follow
ing the old soldier attracts; nor is
Democratic defeat under such circum'
stances the less painful and humiliat-
inc because nor necessarily prostrat-
ing. But the Chicago Convention in
vited defeat when it nominated Gov
ernor Cleveland on platform OF
falsehoods and feebleness, and what
has followed is the natural result OF
repudiating principles and services IN
favor of policy and availability. Now,
if Butler should prove the real Moses
who is to lead the Democratic party
out of the wilderness, every vote for
him would be step nearer the prom
ised land.
In the same issue, member of Tam
many Hall, who signs himselfa Jack
son Democrat" writes as follows:
From the position that Tammany
Hall now occupies the organization
has it now in its power to serve the
Democratic party by securing the
election of one Of our able leaders to
the Presidency. When they meet
Monday night let them declare that
the time has arrived when the voice OF
.he people shall be heard in the coun-
ellis of the party. That the nonina'
ton of Grover Cleveland was one un'
fit to be made, that there is no chance
for his election, and that the time ha;
now arrived when the-public demand
that he be withdrawn from the can
vass, and a noble and pure Democrat
ic statesman be ubstituted i'll his place
i Mr.. Hendricks would doubtless see th'
Y propriety of following suit; such
course would enable the Nationa
Committee to place in the field such
ticket as Thurman and Slocum. But
{ ler would at once retire from the field
is and we should have such sweeping
r, victory as has not been known sine

the credit of it would be attributed t.

Should the Democratic managers ia

source, the blame would be upon the'
g and not on us. 1t is two months b'
" fore the election. There is plenty
of time to make this change and secul
- such result. That it may be done
=" the fervent wish of thousands like M.

The moral campaign of Clevela
tic has fallen fat. The majority of I

A"u Taking these things together
''S' conclude that Tammany Hall is
Cleveland and the Tammany vC
- for everybody but Cleveland.
