New York, Dec. 2-There are increas-
ing surface indications OF the coming
conflict between the Democratic factions
in this state for Mr.. Cleveland's favor,
says a morning paper.
Signs are a%ugmentinG and omens null
tiplying that the clash is inevitable.
Both sides are preparing for the merry
war which people, familiar with politi-
cal hostilities, think is due to begin
about the time the Nimrod OF Broad
water island returns to his castle. No.
70 West Fifty-frst street. The friends
of Edward Murphy, jr., with the sane
ton Of William G. Whitney have been
tireless during the last few days
strengthening the state chairman's can
didacy for the senatorship. Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan tookatrip clear from
Buffalo to this city for an hours talk
with Mr.. Murphy's friends here. He
arrived at four o'clock p. m. and left al
six.
All over the state the machine is
hustling to get the entire Democratic
strength in the legislature in line.
Overtures have been made TO Hugh Nc
Laughlin to secure the Kings county
delegation, butt is still unpledged, and
''uncertain" rural members are being
looked after. The Murphy men count
on Mr.. Whitney to keep Mr.. Cleveland
neutral. The May convention people
have adopted somewhat different tao
tics. Smith NJ. Weed is very quiet. II
ex-Mayor Grace is working to capture
votes, it is not apparent to Outsiders"
but the an%ti-snappers are using all dill
gence in making it appear that Senator
Hill was secretly disloyal to Mr.. Cleve-
land.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland, before
he went to his island retreat, was salts
fed OF the treachery OF the voters who
can be called Chill men,"
To the minds OF the May convention
people, Il circular letter which was sent
TO the interested followers of Senator
Hill throughout the state, furnishes
evidence of treachery. The letter was
sent from the headquarters OF the
''Protective Tariff Democratic League
OF the City OF New York." and was
mailed to $4,000 Hill Democrats. 1t
reads as follows:
New YORK, November 8, '92.
'DEAR Sm:-It is understood that
YOU are a friend OF Senator David b.
Hill; that you indorse his Democracy,
admire his leadership, and believe that
to him more than to any other man is
due the credit of the series Of successes
which the Democratic party has
achieved since he succeeded to the
gubernatorial chair; that under no
other leader have such triumphs and
advancement been made; that it was in
recognition OF such eminent services
that the party sent q united delegation
from this state, headed by the governor,
to voice the sentiment OF New York
and urge the nomination OF Senator
Hill us the Democratic candidate for
President OF the United States.
"Fromthat time, Senator Hill has been
the special object OF attacks by those
Mugwumps and free traders who man
aged Mr.. Cleveland's canvass.
"There is no parallel in modern poll
tics to the desperate course taken to de-
stroy Senator Hills influence, He has
been misrepresented and maligned be-
yond endurance. 1t is plain to those
nearest Senator Hill that should MIR.
Cleveland be elected no credit what
aver will be given him or his friends.
In fact it has become a conviction that
the SUCCESS of Mr.. Cleveland means the
humiliation OF Senator Hill and his re-
tirement from the direction Of the al
fairs of the Democratic party. Not
only is Senator Hill marked for retire
ment, but NIL of those loyal party
friends who have stood with him in the
past and aided him in securing the
great victories for Democracy, are to be
succeeded by those with whom they
have had to contend at their party pri-
maries and who at the polls have more
often bolted than supported the noml-
nee of the Democratic party. A vote
for Cleveland is n vote to disgrace the
intrepid leader Of Democracy, David B.
Hill.
'This fact alone will warrant you in
placing the enclosed poster over the
electoral portion of your ticket on cleo
ton day. By order OF the committee.
(Signed) "HENRY Nichols,
"JoHN K. CURTIs, chairman.
Secretary"
