the place where the Henry George Free Trade
Convention was held. and where tho Cleveland.
Grace combination proposes to hold its Con-
vcntion on Tuesday. Outside OF the rink great
lacards Of varied hucs have been posted. On
| them are pictures of iugglers. contortionists.
| and sword swallowers. Some OF tho figures
stand on their heads. others arc kicking their
heels in tho mir. and more nre frantically
swinging their arms in approval Of the efforts
! fth" performers. Although the pacards rep.
| resent the uongs OF private enterprise. not q
few of tho agents of the Cevcland-Grace con.
| tort!onists now here are anything but pleased
al the coincidence. Tho rink is n faring build-
ing bcside the Oswego Canal. 1t has an open
cellar in which is stored lumber. shingles and
all sorts OF truck. 1t will DO plenty big enough
! for the event on Tuesday.
You can take your choice OF the titles Civen
to the delegates and others who attend this
! Convention. ThcJ arc called 'Dandelions."
/ Skirt Dancers" "Harnacles." Has Beens,"
| " Clevaland Worshirpcrs." Cleveland ex.
OlIiccEoldcrs." Grace Ambitionists." Sore
Heads and "Kickcrs." Notwithstanding
this. there is evidence Of the appreciation Of
the efforts of William II. Grace to beat Gov.
Hill at all hazards. AS Mr.. Grace said at AL
| bany in February: "We don't care a cent
, for Clevcland all that we are up to
! is to beat Hill for the Presidency"
! These efforts have cost Mr.. Grace and his
| friends many thousands OF dollars. and much
| labor ana worrimcnt, and yet, according to
| the showing of Delegates there is n possi-
| bility of the whole thing ending in flzzle. It
is anything: to beat Hill. That's tho cry of the
| advance guard of the Cleveland Grace COM
| Line who have arrived on the scene tonight.
| The resolutions supporting this cry were
drawn in the Office Of William r. Grace in the
| old Cotton Exchange building. New York. on
Friday last. They are typewriter and will be
brought hero by Mr. Grace Fx-Secretary
Charles s. Faircili. who was in the Treasury
Department under Cleveland also has a copy
Of the resolutions. Although this Convention
is ostensibly called for the purpose OF protests
ing against the so-called machine" Demo.
cratic Convention in February last. the evi.
dencc is that no Convention held in the State
in many decades will be Letter creased with
machinery oil than this one.
There are rUmorS that an effort will be made
to prevent the selection OF Il contrasting delega-
ton TO he sent to Chicago Any such move.
mcnt will be frowncd upon by Mr.. Grace, who
appears here with Mr.. Fairchd rs the chief
champion Of Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Grace and
Mr.. FGirchild and their friends believe that the
principles laid down ut their meeting in Union
Hall. Albany. on Feb. %. should be carried out
to the letter When the Cleveland Grace bolt.
crs met on That day they declared through
their orators. Franklin ID. Locke. Mr.. Fair
child. and others. that they proposed to urge
on the National Convention at Chicago that
the Regular Democratic Convention did not
wisely represent the demands of the Demo-
cratic party Of the State. In view of this, tho
delegates who believe that u contesting dele.
cation should not be- sent to Chicago are
spoken Of Us towards and worse than traitors
to the Cleveland Grace cause.
