These are the only men prepared to stay
here. They have the financial means to
take care OF anybody who will stay with
them, though 1t be a month. This is a propo-
sition which strikes dismay to nearly
or quite one-third of the delegates who have
remained outside of the Cleveland camp. "A
cockney New Yorker cannot bear to be
away from his haunts in New York so long.
What man the Clevelanders mean to take
up for Vice President is probably. not
definitely known to themselves-at least
meantime, for the Vice Presidency with
several OF the States, and this gives them
another hold upon clusters Of delegates.
They might put Mr.. Boies at the end of the
ticket and that would Quelch Iowa in a
minute and bring its full delegation to
Cieveland's support. If this is their mean
ing they would most probably communicate
with Boies direct, rather than with any OF
his handlers here. 1t would then be only
necessary for Bofes to pull himself out OF
the race for President, when Iowa would go
over to Cleveland.
The Possibi titles for Second Place.
They might take up Campbell for the
Democratic candidate for Vice President,
and thus detach refractory votes from Ohio.
They might even trifie with Gray, but as he
was rejected last time for old Mr.. Thurman,
this does not seem so probable, and Gray's
tenacity of holding on for the first place
suggests that he hardly expects the second.
They might put an out-and-out Cleveland
man in the W est on their ticket like Was
or Dickinson, or even General Palmer, who,
by the speed with which he has retired,
would seem to have expectations OF some
sort. They might go as far as the Paclhc
coast
If Cleveland be nominated he will need no
Vice Presidential accessory like Whftelaw
Reid to put revenue into the cam
paign. The Payne-and- Whitney combina-
ton, the child-Jordan-banking COM
bination would do all that work. As to
irreguarity, who can throw 1t up to another,
and not plead guilty himself?
Mr.. Whitney, who is managing here Mr..
Cleveland's affairs was in the County DEM
ocracy for many years and was its Corpora
tion Counsel, from which office he naturally
got into the street railroads oi that city, ana
the County Democracy was ever dealing
with the Republicans. Whenever Tammany
lost its deal with the Republicans, the
County Democracy was ready to bid for
their support. And in that way Edward
Cooper was elected Mayor over Kelly's
man, the subsequent President Arthur, at the
head of the Republican organization, going
into the combine. but afterward, when
Cooper was elected, continuing his deal with
Tammany Hall as before, or until Roscoe
Conkling pulled him out at the demand of
an independent newspaper proprietor, who
wanted to break Kelly's heart. and to whom
MIR. Conkling was under obligation.
There are men in the Cleveland combine
who were Republicans large part OF their
lives. John Bigelow, who by the way, is on
the Tammany list here, WIS a Bryant Re-
publican for years, and Minister to France
under the Republicans. Don Dickinson was
a Republican until a late period. Gray,
Boies and Palmer have all had their Repub-
lican records. Consistency has not much to
do with the politics of the present.
