Death Of John Kelly.

New YORK, June John Kelly, the
Tammany. politician, died ed at half:past, 8
o'clock this afternoon. The news of tho
death of John Kelly cannot be said to be
wholly unexpected, and yet it is pain
full surprise, for there was always the
hope that he would recover from his ill.
ness and take his old place in political
circles, where, for so many years, he
welded a powerful influence.
John Kelly was mason by trade, but
in his early manhood he engaged in
politics and was elected alderman of
New York City, and afterwards member
of Congress. In 1858 he resigned, hav.
ing been elected High Sheriff of the city
and County of New York. Mr.. Kelly Is
best known on account of his connection
with the Tammany Society, of which
he became Grand Sachem and absolute
ruler, after the downfall of the Tweed
dynasty. The whole force of Tammany
he welded according to his own will, as
was shown by his power in defeating
Governor Robinson, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of New York, to
whose nomination he was opposed. But
Mr.. Kelly did not scorn to take his part
of the hazards of the combat, and was
himself candidate for Governor, know
ing that the effect would be to defeat the
Democrat and elect the Republican.
In truth NIr. Kelly was not man of
half measures In his loves or his hates,
as was shown especially by his bitter
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland at the Chica-
20 Convention in 1884. Even then he
was somewhat broken in health, and had
lost much of his old political audacity.
But he kept up the fight until the nomi
nation was made and never gave in cor
dial adhesion to the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Kelly was not common man in
any way, for he gave himself liberal
education, and lad a large fund ofinfor-
nation on most subjects. 1t was the
independent self.reliance of the man, his
thorough going nature, his readiness to
help bis friends and hurt his opponents
which made him so strong. There was
brain in it all, and, whatever his fortune,
it can truthfully be said that he was an
honest man, and had no part in any of
the stealing which has given to New York
politicians so unenyiable name.
It is notorious that he was mixed up in
political schemes and projects of low

4 Reply to Farmer.
PENp1EroN, S. q, June 4.b, 1886.

6 PENDLEroN, S. O., June 4tb, 1886.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your correspondent,
writing over the name Of Farmer" of
June Srd, has figured up the cost Of
what he is pleased to call the "Tillman
farmers Movement, and in 80 doing he
assumes that the sole object of the far.
'mer's attending the meetings Of the
Counties-the sole object Of electing del.
gates, and the delegates leaving their
business, paying their expenses in attend.
ing the Convention at Columbia-the
whole thing, and every effort in the, mat.
ter, was for the special benefit Of that
man Moses, lTillmsn), 50 he could un.
load his wisdom. Nothing more nor
less. Now, sir, that Is tantamount to
and does stigmatize all the farmers that
had anything to do with the movement
as blame fools, and says they should haze
been at home at a0ork. Well, you see, he
would not allow the farmers as a class
to raise their heads or stop digging one
minute to take any steps or advise to-
gethe- for their betterment, or even to
look up from the sod to see who might be
trying to grab part or all of their hard
diggings. Better been at home at soork,
he said. would not have felt any more
indignant if he had come out fatty and
called us all fools for attempting to look
to our betterment as class, when that is
the order of the day with every other
class, but he cannot allow the farmer that
privilege.
1t is very clear that he-though he
signs his name Tanners opposed to
the whole movement that the farmers are
making for their benefit. He breaches
from the text, Economy" and he does
not know what we farmers mean by
economy. We mean to stop digging
just long enough, and to spend time and
money enough, to cause economy to be.
gin at the other end, in some other de-
partment of the Government. We, the
farmers, have economical too much al
ready by continuing to dig and work at
home, as he says We should, not allowing
ourselves time to attend public meetings,
to devise plans and bring about the right
sort of economy in all the official business
of the State, which would so much re.
duce our burden of taxes, and while all
others except the farmers are taking time
to hold meetings and are working in or.
CARNATIONS for their special benefit. Mr..
Farmer does not allow that We should
take that sort of time from our eternal
digging, and suppose next he will cal
culate the time that we are losing in at.
tending our Farmers Clubs. Better be at
home at ,cork-slave Hke-so that we may
dig out enough for the whole population
OF the State to live on.
