other acts Of the Administration hay
driven many into the rebelliOus arm.
For example, in BroOme county thel
, are over thousand OF the most reputl
Bile Democratic citizens in Binghampto
and surrounding country who vote
against their party last year and will d
80 again in November because NJ
, Cleveland hHs actually prevented th
criminal prosecution OF Government
official, Deputy Collector Davis OF thi
port, for alleged unlawful actions in col
nection with the new postOtiice buildin
in Binghamptou. The papers necessar
to bring the case to trial are in posses
sion OF the Secretary Of the Treasury
who defiantly refuses To surrendert them
even at the request of Il United State
District Attorney, Mr.. Lockwood G
Buffalo. Again, the Presidents az
pointments in many parts OF the Stat
lave been singularly obnoxious to tn
leaders and to the rank and file Of til
Democracy. In his desperate effort t
capture elements opposed to him MI
! Cleveland has ignored men who har
good reason 10 claim recognition and ap
pointed those who were Objectionable
in almost every way. Some OF the mos
iOrcible examples Of this are seen in tn
western part OF the State. 1t is worth,
Of remark, however, that the majority Q
those who may be said to have bolteC
for this last reason would never hav,

UpnEAvAL AT CLEvELAND's OWN HOME.
Should President Cleveland take
few days vacation and spend it in Buf
falo, he would probably return to Wash
ington with his superb self.complacency
somewhat disturbed. Certainly hI
would see much in the present pOiitica
situation OF his native city to cause hin
surprise and even anguish. He woult
find the Republicans of Erie county
more united and aggressive than they
have been in years; he would find his
own party disorganized and discouraged
More than that, he would see a large
element OF it in open revolt, and still
larger number quietly preparing to vote
against him at the polls in November.
The revolt in this county is not only
one OF the most remarkable in the State
but it is one OF the most alarming to the
Administration 1t isl distinct political
movement, having an organ OF its own
"Ihe Buffalo NelCS," which did more Il
make Mr.. Cleveland Governor and
President than any other single To-
caliutluence. The Neus may be
termed the discoverer OF Cleveland. II

scarcely known outside of Erie county
doomed him as candidate, called
Daniel Manning's attention to him, and
when at last he was nominated for the
Presidency assisted his canvass with ali
the power of its 10000 circulation.
