Chicago, June 1s.-Democratc harmony be-
gins to multiply on all sides III 'heie Is Nv
music in the air" before long it will not be the
fault of the Tammany braves or the faIcnlu
silk Stockings either The two factions evil
IDENTIFY mean business and are not III te ring
for nothing Outsiders show no disposition 10
interfere: on the contrary, do everything to en-
courage the "slugging" The heaving OF DIlcKs
has already begun and in another twenty-iour
hours one NAV look for casualties" III wou"
be folly to nominate Cleveland" says senator
Voorhees,, of Indiana for he c0uldhV carry
his own State, and in Indiana 1t would ne very
hard work " The Democrats don't want him,
that's all, 'exclaims Boss Croker Colonel Brce
mixes no bones about his opposition to the Peleh-
NAL candidate, and is cruel enough TO circnla'e
q story according TO which the eX-President Is
aid 70 have remarked when told that lie couldn't
carry Ncw-York: Il can win without New
York" John c. Carlisle asserts that Cleveland is
ae weakest candidate possibly the Democracy could
put in the field, and German remains dlsappomt-
ingly silent when asked to express an opinion.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild's reply TO the
Murphy manifesto is treated by Croker
Sheehan and Murphy with studied
contempt Referring 10 Fairchild, Sheehan says
What is the use of wasting ammunition on that
man. He is not a Democrat, and anything he may
say can have no influence upon Democrats. All
need say is that Farchid's statement has fallen
perfectly fat and is unworthy of serious consider
alton by any one of ordinary political knowledge
Murphy says: 1T would Ike absurd to pay any at
tention to that stuff 1t is a tissue of nonsense
which only Mugwrmp like Farchild could
evolve" Croker, with countenance which is DE-
scribed as being unfit for publication" remarks
grmly: Fairchih doesn't represent any section
of the Democracy lie represents only the
Mugwump element. and anything he says IN
regard to the political situation at this time Is
neither worth reading nor replying to-
MURPHY AND SHEEHAN CALLED TRAITORS.
To all this Edward B. Whitney, one of tie anti
snappers' from the With New-York District, re-
plies by paying his compliments to Murphy in the
following fashion: Murphy is man who VIII
be treacherous to anybody, and there is no use try
ing 10 humor him in nomination, because he VIII
not decide until election day whether he VIII
be true or false to candidate
There are two men prominent in the Hill organ
ization who are regarded with suspicion by the
Democracy in general. These men are Murphy
himself and Lieutenant-G Governor Sheehan. There
is a general impression in the State of New-lork
that they were treacherous TO the National ticket
I'm 1888. and ! think il not unlikely that they
will be so again this year if they do not happen
to be pleased with the nomination made. Inc
man who, pretending to be friend SLIPS his
stiletto into your back is man who is known
only among Murphy's own followers.
Lovely, isn't it? Breathing the spirit of con-
cord and good will. But if the Cleveland men
throw bricks you cannot expect lam
many braves to sit idly BY Don
imagine they are asleep. They would rather hgh'
than eat; one might almost say they would rarner
aght than drink Once in while it so happens
that a Cleveland innoocnt wakes up tne Wrong
man This happened late last night when siiih
and salIow youth dropped into the New-AorK mead
quarters and took a chair not far from whefe
General Dan" Sickles was seated. lie was
Cleveland man and he had ideas-at least lie
Thought he mad Presently he declared In strldu-
lent tones that David b. Hill was reSponsioe ior
the defeat of Grover Cleveland in New-iorK o'a'e
four wears ago 1t was as if a sheep HAD Wandered
into lions den. All about him sat Hi heelels I'LL!
plug-uglie,, scowling but egeing him on. uenerai
Siclxles paid no attention to him. Presently
Tammanv bravr remarked See here, sonny, YOU
don't know what you are casing about. lhere
&c T,oneral Sicbles lie can give you some IN
formation on the subject you are discussing.

Then there was a little commotion in the crowd
and the General looked up 70 see what was gong
on. The young man repeated lis remark tlot
Senator Hill was the cause Of Crtvclands defcat
for the Presidency The General ciutched his
crutches and spoke right out i'll meeting lha'

1T is true" said the young man.
"No. it isn't said the General. There Is
no truth in it, l make the assertion that 1t is
false. and / will make my remark good rlght
now in any way"
The General was ready to fight, and his eyes
were blazing.
THAT is question of opinion said the young
man. c.
No opinion about it," said General Sickl"s
"Your talk makes me sick. | don't give blank

BY this time the crowd WIS pretty well worked
up, and John Trainer went over 10 the So""s
fellow and said -
