s.Carp. the Washington correspond
emf of the Cleveland Leader, saws:
There is no doubt but that Manning is
to have place in the cabinet, New
York men tell me, and understand
he is TO be the adviser ia chief of Mr..
Cleveland. He was Cleveland's crea-
tor and he managed his campaign for
him. Every letter Cleveland wrote
was first revised by Manning, and he
would not undertake the management
of the campaign without Cleveland's
first promising that this should be
so. Cleveland objected, but Manning
held off and he finally had TO come
around. Manning has been trained
by Samuel j. Tiiden, and Iunderst anu
that The palsied hand of the sage OF
Greystone is TO be the power bei.ind
the throne which is TO sill manlpGi ate
the party and its chief. The telegraph

though his voice is gone and his words
caunoi be heard without an ear trum-
pet Tilden taught Manning all he
knows of politicts, and Manning still
looks upon Tilden and as his adviser
and model. He worked under Tilden
as his lieutenant for years past and
the past campaign W managed under
Tilden's directions. When Cleveland
went few dAs ago to see Tll'ien he

TIlden did not bow TO him, nor does
he overflow with the silly adulation of
congressional toadies about Washing

the Beecher letter came TO be written. |
According to the above arrangement, |
by which Cleveland bound himself not |
TO write any letters unless by Man
ning's direction he advised with him |
before he wrote the Beecher letter. |
He was greatly alarmed by the |
scandal about Maria llalpin, and the |
letter was written 10 offset this Man |

that he, Manning, must supervise II |

Cleveland had finished il and was
looking it over with Manning, Beecher
called and the three looked over
it together, each cutting out
what he thought best 1t then went
to Lamont. and he struck his pen
several words. Cleveland
had directed il 10 Mrs. Beecher. and
Beechcr took ii home and read it To
his wife. He then, according TO an
agreement with Manning, sent il back
TO Cleveland. IL came, and was laid
on the desk, where his clerk, seeing it,
it was to be mailed. He did
il up and remailed it TO Beecher.
Beecher, supposing as it was returned
TO him il was for publication, read ii
aloud in his meeting. 1t was read as

been altered in the various corrections
