CHICAGO, November 6.-Followiug
are extracts from a dispatch to the
Daily NelVS by its Washington CORE
spondent, who has been in New York
for the past month: When President
Cleveland had prepared the first draft
OF the message he sent to Congress last
December, he sent for the Secretary of
the Treasury to submit the document
for his criticism, and remarked: Fair
child, | have written something here
that will beat me for reelection, but it
is right The ful6llment of that
prophecy is read in this mornings pa
papers. and that the tariff brought it
about is conceded by the managers of
this campaign this morning. Cleve-
land lost votes in the manufacturing
centers of New York, and gained none
among the farmers. The reduced ma
jority he received in Brooklyn IS large
ly due to the friends of Archie Bliss, one

that city, who voted against the Mills
bill and was defeated for denomination
by Federal officers for that reason.
In New York City the friends oil Con-
gresham Merriam, who was defeated in
a similar manner and for similar rea-
son, "got even" with the admiuistra-
ton when they went to the polls. One
OF the chief causes of Harrison's large
gains in the country, perhaps the most
effective, was the Indifference of local
Democratic leaders throughout the
State to Cleveland's chances, particu-
larly in strong Republican districts,
where there were no local offices to
fight for. The President neglected
these men in passing the offices around.
They spent their time and money to
cleo! him Governor, and then Presi-
dent four years ago aud declined to give
him any more credit until something
had been paid on account. Tim Camp
bell, the Dogberry of the House of
Representatives, has been defeated for
reelection by a Tammany man, and
will be greatly missed in the resorts of
Washington. Campbell is the man
who met the refusal of Cleveland to
grant some favor because it would be
unconstitutional with the remark:
"Oh, come off now, Mr.. President. The
Constitution oughtn't to stand between
friends" The entire list Of Congress-
slen elected in New York City are Tam.

The Erie. (Pennsylvsnla) District now
represented by William l.. Scott has
gone Republican, although that gentle
men was confident his successor would
be Democrat. He would have been
beaten himself if he had been q can
dldate, and he says the tariff men sub
scribed SIS, 600 for that special purpose.
One reason he gives for not accepting
the nomination is that he would have
been compelled to fight them with
their weapons, and did not want the
voters of the district corrupted Scott
IS more broken up than any of the
Democratic leaders by the defeat, for
not only was he confident of winning,
but he has been the Presidents
nearest friend, and is largely respon-
slble for the tariff reform message
OF ,o7. He was the only one

OF the Democratic leaders to 90 to bed |
last night, but he continued to claim

Postmaster Dickinson is another man
badly hurt. He has been absolutely
