They tell US that Mr.. Cleve land can't
carry New York because of his antagonism
to Senator Hill, and then we hear that Sem
ator Hill cannot carry New York because

York thoroughly. Mr.. Cleveland is my
friend, but If neither he nor Senator Hill
can carry the State we must obviously look
must have New York. We have clear
majority of the voters of that state. The
only thing Democratic candidate has to
do In New York Is TO get the full vote of
his party. Ex-Governor Gray 10 not ldeuti-

OF New York who are represented by that
delegation, support the nominee of the
convention. no matter who he is. in your

I'VE pledged our support in unqualified

victorious and succeed in nominating Hill,
Will your people support him"
II certainly will. individually, and al
most all of our delegates havc expressed
| themselves pu blicly to that effect. We are
Democrats who will support the regular
nominee of the convention, but none of ms
feel there is the slightest possibility of Mr..
Hill being nominated"
Senator c. E. Walker, who halls from
Senator David Is. Hills district, addressed
| large crowd of Democrats at the Cleve-
land headquarters last night. Senator
Walkers arguments were cbeered wildly.
He informed the crowd that seven ei ia tbs
of the people In Hills district were for
Cleveland. 1--WE live too near Hill to IA

many does not hope to nominate him, and

scheme is to get Flower out of the govern
orship. and thus have Sheehun succeed
him. The Tainmany people are only wait

Frederick A. Fuller, jr.. president of the
| Jamestown Tilden Club, q member of the
| New York Democratic State committee
and an elector in 1884, is here In an in
terview he said: THE sentiment of the
| people of western New York, and of the in
| dependent voters as we'll, are unanimous
| for the nomination of Cleveland. The
| Democratic vote of Jamestown will be in
| creased from five hundred to one Thousand
| X Cleveland is the choice of the Chicago
convention as against Harrison. The NOM
| NATION OF Harrison In this strong Blaine
district was . great disappointment TO the
Republican voters and there Is no one " no
| could command the Independent vote but
] Cleveland. 1t might be we'll TO say that
some of the leading Republican politicians
| of jamestown are offering To wager money
( on the election of Cleveland if nominated.
This sentiment exists all through the section
of the State. There las been O very bitter
| feeling existingi in ChautauQua county ow-
| ing to the fact that the last two Democratic
| State conventions have dIsfranchised the
| district by not permitting regularly elect
| ell delegates to have seats IN these cOnven.
tions. We have had no represent ton in
| the past two years in a Democratic cOnven-
ton from the fact that so per cent. of our
| people favor Cleveland as against Hill, and
q delegation not to exceed 10 per cent. of
tho party admitted as regular delegates.
| The nomination of Cleveland would create
great enthusiasm throughout the State,
| and, IN my Judgment. he will carry tho
State by at least $4,000 majority. The in
| dependent voters OF the State of New York
| have the balance of power in the State,
and they. TO man, will support Cieve-
| land"
Reginald d. Woodland, q delegate from
| the Tenth congressional district of New
York. who has been one of the active MEM
bers of the executive committee in New
York, was q visitor at the Grand Pacific
Hotel headquarters. and in reply to Ques-
ton as to the Murphy and Sheehan mani
festo, said: II cannot see anything In it
except the usual game of bluff. The situa-
ton to-day in New York Is such that no
| fair minded. candid person can go over the
| field without realizing that il Mr. Clcve-
| land cannot carry tho State nobody else
| can. In the first place, all OF the other
| representative Democrats, except Murphy
! and Sbeeban. have promised faithfully to
| support him, and Mcssrs Murphy and
| Sheehan represent but very few votes
each in Buffalo Certainly Tammany will
be loyal There has been nothing to
indicate anything else. Ii they will
| not be loyal to Mr.. Cleveland as the
candidate of the convention after the
| pledges they have given. then there is no
way TO secure their 10y atty to any candi-
date know of. In addition TO the Demo-
cratic vote, Mr. Cleveland can poll this
| vote, which we cannot afford to lose in
New York. and more than this. he will
draw largely from the regular Republican
ranks throughout the farming districts. [
have carefully canvassed the districts and
| have not yet been able to find q single one
| in which Cleveland would not poll gre at

they have been fooled in the matter, and
that they have allowed for the first time
