Recurring to the ungraefulncss OF sou,hcrnors in

from Colonel Ochilircc that Cleveland had shown him
self TO be unsratca Ike all the Others. inquired what
he meant and he said: " Haven't you heard how he

dictated 10 them from Monticello. I think that Tldcn
aud his friends made Cleveland tie nominee OF
their party expecting 30 handle him. IL was Tilden
who maG pulated the formation OF tho Cabinet 40 ast

looked tIo idol at GrcystOne and saw IL was clay.
He has refused 10 bow down to II. ON certain
