New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-10-30

of each one of them contained resolution
speaking in handsome terms of Mr.. Cleveland.
This was the usual convention courtesy. Now
read what 1.-THE New-York Worlds" conven-
ton correspondent wrote about the Syracuse
platform: ,-,...-
The platform was already printed for the Committee
on Resolutions when It met. 1t was printed on broad
sims OF paper in the style as some messages fom
tho Executive Chamber at Albany. IL was referred 10
a subcommittee and reported Without chanse' heho'
said ex-senator James Daily, see all the REFORMS ana
rcformers mentioned, but hear no len'o VI INC
nrincpal rcformer of all, Grover Cleveland" Ihat
must no n mistake said Bourne Cochran. Mr.. DAILY
then wrote out the plank etc.
perhaps the 635, 965 will conclude that this
extraordinary omission of Mr.. Clevelands
name was mistaken; and perhaps not. The
BROOKLYN Eagle" which speaks for good
many Of the 635, 965, discussed the matter re-
oon.Iv In the opinion of 1.-THE Eagle" " a
Democratic platform in 1859 Silent upon inc
services and claims of Grover Cleveland, the
continuing National leader OF the Democratic
rarty. would have been an awkward thing to
expain away to Democrats whose votes are
necessary to the success of the state ticket"
"Tbe Eagle, closes its article with the inter-
ostino announcement that 4" the question Of the
responsibility of its (Clevelands nance original
omission can be and will be settled by the
Democrats after the election"
II might have been thought that Governor
Hill. after thus despitefully using his dlstln-
puished brother at Syracuse, would have kept
his hands off him, at least until after election.
Kut no. His Southern tour gave him another
chance TO insert his knife beneath the fifth
cd
heated studied references In his speeches. 10
the fact that he had brought no "ency-
clopaediao with him were plainly designed
10 humiliate Cleveland. 1t is stated that
these references excited much indignation
among Democrats who came together to listen
n the Governor. but who were not prepared
N hear him insult the man for whom they
voted in 1898. OF course Hill would not dare
IA treat the ex-presidcnt as he does were it
not that he is labOring under the impression
that he himself is boSs-in-chief OF the Demo-
Gratis of New-YOrk, and, being so, is strong
enough to afford to snub Cleveland or any
other brother TO his hearts content. That he
should take delight in "going" for the eX-
President is not strange, seeing that he hopes
70 climb to a Presidential nomination in 1882
by pulling him down. Nor is it strange in view
of these considerations that leading Hill
organ, "The Albany Times" lately printed n
letter purpoting to come from Democrat In
which Mr. Cleveland and Colonel Lamont are
sneered at as "back numbers" and as being
politically dead beyond resurrection"
1t would be strange indeed if all the $50, $50
should wait until "after' the election to settle
with Hill for his base treatment of Cleveland.
1t is reasonable to expect that thousands of
them all over the State will square their ac-
count with him by Withholding their vote and
influence from his papiermache ticket. They
will not wait until after election. They will
merely wait until election.
