wHArwiLI JOHN KELLY Dof


some Anxiety About His welfare. on The
Part OF the tAdministration e
NEw Yoak, April sO.-As Cleveland'l
administration grows older and the talk
Of the coming election in this State grows
louder, we begin to hear Of the Importance
to the Democratic party OF uniting the
Democratic factions In this city. secre-
tary Whitney has been here this week
looking into things and the administra-
tion wants 10 know all about John
Kelly and his plans.
There has been o good deal oftalk about
Kelly's waning power, declining health
and general break ing down, and there may
be something in II all. His newspaper
has ceased its daily publication, and Mr..
Kelly himself has been away most Of the
winter. Interest in him does not flag, how
ever, and there are those who would rest
easier at night II they knew
more about the. future plans OF
this Statesman. The Stdr issues only
on, Sunday, but lis presses, Ihear, are kept
well oiled, and there is not enough dust
onsthe cases % prevent Us proprietor from
starting q pretty lively daily paper almost
anyof these bright mornings. The prob
abilities are, however, that he will remain
for the summer at least only an interested
observer Of affairs about him.
A gentleman speaking Of the Tammany
Chief afew days ago, said There Is no
doubt that Mr.. Kelly made q great mis-
take last fall; for the first time in the
whole course OF his publicslife he turned
coward. What he should have done was
whathis heart told him he ought 10 do-boit
Gleyeland's nominate and have declared
for James G.. Blaine. The Republicans
never would have put q candidate for the
nayofality in the field and Mayor Grace
and Grover Cleveland would have been
whipped out Of their boots, instead OF do.
ing that he'd decided to support Cleveland.
His followers had no heart 10 follow him,
but enough OF them did 50 to
elect him and defeat their own
candidate for the Mayofalty in
the bargain. twas the lamest thing that
John Kelly ever accomplished. As 1t Ia,
I can see very little future for him. Dan
Manning was an. old enemy OF Kelly, and
Kelly should have fought him, and, eonse.
auently, Cleveland. Now Dan Manning
las Kelly in his power, and both he
and the Preaidept are determined
that Tammany shall die. II will
do no good for delegations 10 visit Wash.
ington. All the patronage that Tammany
will receive will'not avail them anything
IS an organization, Right here is an in.
stance oil Keliy.s weakened power, Had
he had perfect control Of his ofgaais Alton
you would see no delegations hanging

the real significance Of the visit toythls
