THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

Theodore II. Sawyer, of New York,
a former officer of Tammany Hall,
says
elm considering The chances of the
next election both republicans and
democrats seem to have overlooked
one most important point and that is
the attitude of the Tammany democra-
CIV toward Cleveland. Blaine and his
crowd seem to count on gaining as
many votes in New York City AS they
did before, without taking into account
the altered conditions. When CIeve-
land was first nominated the leaders OF
the New York City democracy were
under the strong impression that the
election of a democratic president
meant death to their influence. Under
republican rule the only nance oil office
tor New York democrats was through
their city government. Tammany held
the control of this patronage, anu It's
leaders were therefore OmnlpOtent.
But they feared that If a democratic
executive was chosen and given the
control of the federal offices that their
power would disappear, and a hostile
camp be established in their midst.
This was by no means agreeable; they
east their quiet influence in ave OF
Blaine, aud the consequence was that
the democratic vote in New York City
was smaller than it had been since the
war. In spite of this New York was
carried, and we of Tammany expected
nothing short of humiliation. But we
found that our local government was
moi interfered with, and that nothing
was done to break up III influence.
The consequence is that thousands who
opposed Cleveland will be on his side
in the coming election, and that the
contingent which Blaine, or any other
republican, can draw from the demo-
cratic party in New York will be in
considerable. Ii is most amusing for
one behind the scenes to hear outsiders,
both democrats and republicans. talk
about the personal magnetism of Blaine
that carried over so many New York
votes. Blaine, as every practical poll
tician who is at all in contact with the
New York voters knows, had nothing
to do with the matter. The machine
democrats were fighting tor themselves,
not for Blaine, and thought that the
election Of Cleveland meant political
ucdtn 10 the NEW 1oIh CiIy ueihoCraCy.
But after a three years experience they
have found that they are as safe in the
control of the city Is they eve were
and the results will be seen in the next
election. There is no chance of any
democratic secession this year. The
democrats will cross the Harlem with
$4,000 majority, and the republicans
might as well hope to carry South Car
olina as New York. Cleveland has
harmoniZed all branches of the party
in his Own state, and is sure to succet

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER N FELLOW
DEMOCRATS Hear you not the bugle
sounding to arms! Let the drums
beat! Wake upl The enemy is upon
us! Every democrat into line! Let
the roll be called; none must be alb
sentl This is presidential year, and
old Missouri must do her duty, aud
cast a larger majority than ever before
in the coming election Cleveland,
who carried our banner 10 the front in
1884, winning success for our party, as
its leader, will again be nominated by
the convention that meets In st. Louis
on June 5, and once again will o
hear his battle cry; again will he lead
the democratic host on to victory, and
plant our banner on the inner citadel
OF the republican party. Then rally
to his battle cry, "Tariff and Reform"
collecting only enough to carry on our
government on an economical basis,
thereby cutting down a surplus that is
running our law makers into all kinds
OF ~extravagant measures to do away
with II. The enemy is in our camp.
Awke! Detail a guard OF true demo-
Gratis to rOus them out. Organize to
work; 10 time to loose; our enemies
are drilling night and day, and soon,
III a solid column, will march upOn us.
Then to arms and shoulder to shout
der, with drums beating, the bugle
sounding, let us charge them with fix
ed bayonets; let us route them horse,
foot and dragOon, sweeping all before
us. Put N your guards, sleep not
W on your post, be steadfast aud true
to those time honored principles taught
you by your fathers, that the govern
ment is tor and of the people. Then
let us put those in Office who will
lower the tariff and frown down trusts,
monopolies and rings. Look after your
fellow democrats; see who they are
tor; If true and outspoken: if gone
estray, win them back. A house
divided against itself must fall; our
majority in this county has been grow
ing less for several years. Why is it1
This should not be. Bridge the chasm,
heal the sores, agree 10 disagree; let
us as one man be together. Our con
gressional district is to-day represented
by a republican. Awake. Rip Van
Wrinkle to the fact that democracy is at
stake-that bulwark of the people that
stands alone between the people and
that monster of extravaganza, the re-
publican party. Look after your city
election. See that only good men are
put in office, who will see that you have
a good government and that the laws
are enforced against the rich and poor,
white and black. alike, if you wish
your schools to flourish and good men
move here with their wealth to edu-
cate their children, and help build up

THE SHDALIA DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM.

Whilc the republican party is al sea
Tor both Il leader and Il policy the dem
Gratis are happy in having both. In
Mr.. Cleveland We have "a leader whose
bravery, patriotism, wisdom and tact
are manifest, and oul of these have
come a crvstalizatiOn Oi democratic
thought in his message which furnishes
to the party the best anh strongest
platform that could have been con-
ceived.
Because of these facts il was not
necessary to say much AT Srdalla, but
what il was necessary to utter Hon. W.
D l.. Jewett presented terseIy aud
strongly in these words:-
We, The democracy ot the state Of
Missouri, in convention assembled. de-
clare that we indOrse ungualiiiediv the
honest, courageous aud eco lomical adj
ministratiOn of Grover Cleveland and
hereby instruct our delegates to the
national convention to vote rs Il unit
for his denomination, and also to vote
for II platform cubndying th. princi-
pies OF tariff rs set forth in his last
annual message.
These declarations are clear aud OK
plicit, and reflect accurately the scnti-
ments of Missouri democrats. More
than that, they represent the feelings of
the great body of American business
men, and when the ballots are counted
in November the large vest pocket
vote, the thinking vote That says little
but acis for the best interests of The
stale and nation, will be found over
whelmingly recorded for Cleveland
and Il reform of the tariff.
Beside the above the following reso-
lutiOns were adopted
lndOrsing, as we do, without modifi-
cation or reserve, the position assumed
by President Cleveland on the tariff
question, we send greeting to the Mis-
souri, delegation in congress, and assure
its members that the representative
who 0 closely adheres In his legis-
laiive course to the policy of President
Cleveland will best earn the thanks of
the people who gave him their fran
chises.
Resolved, That we deplOre the I'M
timely death of Gov. John s. Marina
duke, and express our heartfelt indorse-
ment of his administration in uphold
ing the honor, credit and dignity Of
Missouri in all her relations with sister
commemorative of the union, and with
all her own citizens of all parties col
Ors II conditions.
Also a resolution commemorative of
the virtues of the late Alexander w.

ia favor OF cutting down the taxes to
meet the expenditure of the govern
ment, economically administered, while
the republicans favor increasing the ex'
penditure in order to cal up the present
high taxes. You may turn the matter
