NEW YORK, OCT. IT,
SPECIAL Is Tamma'
ny treachero1s toOleve-
land? The question IS
under excited discus
sion to- 0ay among the
pol t clans, and there
are many who answer
1t in the affirmative.
This situati n offers q
stron1 temptation to
the Tammany leaders
and there are very reas
enable grounds for be-
lisving that g bargain
mas been made between
gnem and the magnate5
It the Republican ma
ito nal headquarters
rhe p DIVISIONS of the
deal are that fammany
shall influence its vot
ers to cast their presi-
den tial ballots for Ilar.
rison, In return for
which ne Repub icsns
Will throw as much a.
they can of their psrty's
city vote for Hugh j
Grant, the Tammany
candidate for mayer,
IRE feasibility of the
schema IS uncO0bted
up to 8 csrtain p )int.
OF rse, iLtelli
.ans and conscientious
yot ers ca n o I
BIZ delivere d st
tne Will OF the politi-
clans, but Tammany
can thus barter more
ballots than any other
.cty organization. In
hundreds of the cleo
ton districts the Tam =
many vote is carried In
the pocke,s of the local
lea ere. and can be
N anipulated at viii.
The election laws pro
vide pretty cImpietely
against XLe ms l V c
frauds in the ballot box
Itself. but there are
many thousands +

are told to. The News
correspondent has talk
ed with a number
If expert pc iticians,
ami the consensus OF
opinion that he gets
from them is that IN
case OF the deal being
made as described not
less than 5000 Demo
ratio votes coald be
Transferred from Llsve-
land 20 Harrison. A
gentleman of wealth
and high commercial

press ion that l would

positive that the deli.
1erate intention is to
trade Of mayorallty
votes FIR Cleveland
votes. The bargain hah
b een made between
Tammany and The Ma
tional Republican com :
mittes and has been
4cceted to by the city
Republican organize
don. There Is no posi-
ole chance of eleCting q
Republican Mayor any
how against Hewitt. He
VIII get thousands OF
Republican votes, llst
as he did at bis first
election. Tammany
cares nothing In psrtic
dlar about the n 'tlonal
issue. It has had no
concession In the way
If Offices from Oleve'
land, and 1t doesL' care
a rap whether he Is
elected or defeated, but
