New YORK, Nov. 22.-When men OF
the same political organizations differ
on questions of party management or
upon the merits of popular leaders OF
their party, they act with the least for
bearance and display the most bitter
ness of speech. The feuds here III New
York IN the ranks of both political or
carnations have recently been notori-
Gus. They have also been deadly. Like
the hatred existing between brothers
they are always more personal, unres-
sonabie, yenomous aud lasting than any
dlsagreements with outsiders.
Just now there happens TO be q dis
tnguished citizen OF New York whose
name has for eight years been IN every
body's mouth IN connection with the
highest Office within the gift of the ma
ton. For reasons well known 10 most
intelligent people considerable body
of his own party Is disposed TO doubt
the expediency of placing ex-President
Cleveland az the head OF the national
democratic ticket. In this state tins
doubt is fortified by facts, which 70 Tar
to reduce it to a moral certainty.
The knowledge of this seems TO be too
hard for his friends 10 bear with eQuaR-
unity.
Differences of the Democrats
There is apparently warm desire on
the part of Mr. Cleveiand's supporters
to tread these dissenters IN the mud.
You can hear more loud and angry
talk among Democrats about the re-
spectlye merits and chances of Hill and
Cleveland in this city At present than is
usually heard between republicans
and democrats on the dividing issues
about election time.
This seems particularly so with Mr..
Cleveland. Tor some reason or other
the latter has gained fame recently be-
cause of the result of the elections.
Why, is one OF those queer things hard
TO understand. | have locked the
matter over very carefully, and ann at
a loss to see where Mr.. Cleveland legit-
imstely and necessarily comes IN. But
his red-hot friends say he did it, and
that he is unmistakable called aud Just
as good as chosen, With a disposition
to read every democrat out of the par
ty who refuses to believe it.
now will let you in on the ground
floor and you can then see the reason
for all this display of Independence
and understand the basis of this con-
tidence.
Expects to Win without New York.
Mr.. Cleveland expects to be renom-
mated with or without New York. lie
expects to be chosen, if necessary, in
spite of New York. This may sound
absurd to good many practical politl-
cans. And 1t would be absurdity under
almost any other political conditions
But Grover Cleveland is an impractical
politician; he d:scards the ordinary
rules of political procedure. His friends
have convinced MN that he is bigger
than his party, and Is the political
mother of invention. He sees in hi.

York is all very well, very desirable
state to have behind a candidate

become satisfied that he is too big Z
man and too important factor IN na
tional affairs 10 be hemmed in by til,
political boundaries of his own com

to the county and he has solemnly

he himself puts it-solemnly consecrst
