HOW THE SAGE'S" BARREL WAS TAPPED

ING FOR AN "INDORsEMENT.'
my TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
W,suISGToN. Dec "a well-llnown New-York
politician Democrat, who left the city to-day,
contributes the following story to the secret his
tory of the recent campaign. His name and his
connections make it probable that the story is
true. Early in the campaign, the story runs
Daniel Manning paid visit TO the Sage of Grey
atone in the interest of his friend Cleveland The
object OF the visit. of course, was to secure
from Mr. Tilden an "indOTsement OF the ticket.
Mr. Tiden hemmed and hawed, or rather whis-
pered good deal. and finally spoke IN casual
way of bis ancient gossip, Andrew II. Green eX-
Controller of the City of New-lork, to whom he
thought some recognition was due, IN view OF his
eminent and patriotic services. Mr.. Manning took
the hint. and at once engaged himself to procure
from Mr. Cleveland. in case that he should be
elected. q promise that Mr. Green should be given
tho Treasury portfolio. This satisfactory to
Mr.. Tiden. In return he gave Mr. Manning a
glimpse of his barrel his blessing and the assurance
tina, he Would support the ticket.
Soon after the election rumors reached the
Sage. at his country home on the Hudson, that
the friends of Mr. Whitney were asserting that
they had positive promises from Cleveland that he
should have the Attorney -Generaishlp me Oh
man was I nid Mr. CIeysand intend to choko two
men from New-iork down the cOuntTys throatf
Appoint n Secretary of the Treasury and tho At
torney General both from the same state
What Mr. Tilden proposed 10 do about it the
man who told the story did not venture to predict
But be said that Governor Cleveland didn't care a
copper for either Andrew H.Green or VIC. whitney,
and thai in all probability both these gentlemen
would be left out IN the cold.
In the meantime the name of Daniel Manning is
Cabinet the Empire state, and the gossip assigns
TO him the Treasury.
