CHICAGO, Ill, July Ill have now
been here six days, the same period |
took i'll advance OF the Republican con-
ventiOn. 1t seems to me that Cleye-
lands nomination is more probable than
Blaine's was the Friday before the con-
yention met. If were to believe what
hear rom the friends Of the other can
didates ! would say that Cleveland had
no chance at all; but this convention
must be assured that Cleveland can not
carry New York, or that he will be
weaker than somebody else there, be-
fore it will leave him.
The whole principle at stake here is to
carry New York. For all other purposes
the convention might as well not be as
semDllng. a few persons, weOSe booms
are over, desire TO save from the wreck
their opinions, and, therefore, there will
be some attempt made to have a positive
expression against high protection. But
If that should lose any votes to the
ticket which is to carry New York, it
"iil be sneezed over, disguized,
and is almost sure to have
recognition Of the rights Of labor,
coupled with a bowailing of so much
| bounty to mOnopOlistS and manufacgur-
ers Thus both the political parties are
lESensibly adding force to the move
ment OF which General Butler is the rec
! ognlZed head-a movement which the
most distinguished mani perhaps, i'm
Chicago in business here said to me
would be the issue Of all issues within
four years.
ltremains to be seen whether Tam
many nall and its friends of any Other
counties and States can lessen the i'm
preston, now pretty general, that Cleve-
iand IS the only man who can get the
independent vote. Some regret that
Tammany hall did not come earlier: but
CIeVeland's opponents say il is we'll tC
let Manning, Fellows and the profess
slonal hackers of Cleveland get the sore
throat by next Saturday, when Tam.
many hall Will arrive full of lungs and
spirit. Kelly is not now in the position
ne was four years ago-of a Ganished
man, merely looking at the convention
from the back benches. Mr.. Manning
put him in the party last October, put
him in still further at Saratoga recently
/, aud he is not at the head of divided
Tammany hall as he was in 1876.
} The feeling has intensified throughout
Iammany Hall, and even extended &c
Kings county, that Cleveland means t.
rule without the regular Democrats, and
through the new element. Tammany
has great unpOpularity among the in
tense knownothing kind of Americans
There Is large proportion of the Demo
cratic party which is more knownOthinl
than any portion Oftho Republican party
This mas been brought about by the con
tlnued supremacy Of the foreign elemen
within the Democratic lines in many o
the States. 1t is the case in California
, III New York and in Ohio. Chicago il
ruled by Il combination Of the foreigner
under Harrison, the Mayor. 1t is no
, uncommon here to find man standing
, up in Il hotel and damning the Irish, anC
especially Kelly. Yet the hostlit,
to Tamnlany's detection will not proven
, it receiving Il good hearing here.
The outside influence is four-ifth
