COURIER JOURNAL OFFICE,
LOUISVILLE,
November 81 1900

My DEAR SIR:-I take leave to ad-
dress you in tins letter as one of some
millions of democrats who have never
sought or held office and who could not
be induced to do so, but who are deeply
concerned in the party's welfare and who
believe you to hold the key to it. Out
side of the state of New York there
is well nigh unanimous demand
among the rank and file of demo-
Gratis for the nomination of Cleve-
land; this is too strong for party lead
ers and managers to resist. think
have some intluencein Kentucky. But OH
that point should be overwhelmed in
the state convention. Ifyou should come
to the national convention with the
New York delegation solid against it you
would overwhelmed. You are powerless
to prevent it. But you can defeat the
election of the ticket. There are demo-
Gratis in every part of the union, who
believe that you did this in 1888. know
that to be false. ! know exactly what
happened and | have steadily defended
you in public and in private. But it will
cling to you as long as you live--even as
the bargain of intrigue and corruption
clung to Clay, and will meet youin every
national convention. if it be not dissi pa
ted by some act on your part great
enough to blot it out. In default of this,
it YOU have any hope Of the presidency,
it will defeat you, that is, If my judg-
ment is clear, that if you could reconcile
it with your judgment and feeling to
make peace with Cleveland, and to take
the delegation to the national convention
in 1892 to put him in nomination, you
will save the party and place yourself
upon an elevation you can never
attain if you fail to do it. You
would be received by the country
with enthusiasm; be accepted at once as
Warwick, and do not see how you
could be kept out of the succession. Ont
other hand, even if you succeeded in de-
feating the nomination of Cleveland you
will stand upon sinister and danger
GUS ground with a stormy future before
you. These are plain words and | have
no relations with you which give me
the right to offer you counsel. They
may be disagreeable words, and /
have no desire to intrude upon your
privacy, but they are true words and !
claim the right of a democrat who has
some knowledge of the country at large
and has given some proof OF intelligent
devotion to party interests to ignore
ceremony and to send them to you. In
conclusion, let me say that shall in any
event be glad to know you better and
that meanwhile, | am most sincerely
your friend.
