Oh MS parry, Ot c0utGc.
Ga the other hand, if he makes up his
mind that he can carry the State in 1891
and 1892 In spite or Cleveland Demo
Gratis aud mugwumps, he will refuse to
go to the Senate and the fight will be-
gin. That it will be bitter fight there
is no doubt. The same tactics that were
used in 1888 will be used again, only the
other side will use them.
This is a clear intimatIon that Mr..
Cleveland's friends will knife Hill if he
runs for Governor next year If l am
any judge of what will happen that will
happen with vengeance. Mr.. Cleve-

it. 1t will be bis friends who do not
propose in 1891 to help man to kill
their idol for 1892. That there are

1892. Ga this point they are so entnu-

tell him point blank that they they don't
care a rap about how New York State
goes in 1891, and, what is more aston
