NOT A PLEDGE GIVEN.
THE PReSlDENT-ELECTM MADE NONE
 TO TAMMANY.

Chief Croker Gives His Version of What
 4uet-The Alleged Strong Language of
 Mr. Cleveland Denied by MT. Murphy.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Richard Crokex denies the statement that Tanmany asked md obtained any pledges from Grover Cleveland at the Victoria hotel banquet. Thomas G. Shearman, speaking at the sim gle tax banquet Wednesday night, de- elared on 'sure authority" backed up by the Brooklyn Eagle, that pledges had been demanded from Mr Cleveland by his Tam many guests, but that he had indignantly refused to bind himself in any way what soever, and had stamped his refusal with m unparltamentary d., which cast gloom over the subsequent proceedings.
 What MT. Croker Says.
 MT. Cfoker says, 'There were no pledges made and for very simple reason-be- cause no pledges were asked for"
 .It is not true then that Lieutenant Governor Sheehan made a long appeal to Mir. Cleveland showing the necessity of having things put on 8 satisfactory basis to the party leadersp
 "No, sir; that is not true
 "Did no one present at this dinner make such an appeal, and were no pledges or promises demanded either directly or indi- rectlyf" s.. e.- r=-. -.-#r ..a Neither directly nor indirectly" May state," continued the reporter, "that at the present moment neither your self nor Tammany Hall holds any pledges from President-elect Cleveland, whether written or verbal, in regard to the coming administration"
 "Yes, sir, you may state that, and l give you my word of honor that it is true. We tried to help MT. Cleveland all we could during the campaign, and we shall continue to do so now that be has been elected. And l tell you, in spite of what the Republican papers may say, we have done this and are | doing it for the good of the Democratic party, to which we are loyal, and not for offices or patronage or plumber. The Tam | many tiger is not going to fatten itself at MT. Cieveland's exp snse. The Republicans are good enough eating for us. But One Democratic Ticket "Iet me add one word more in order that my statement may be perfectly accurate. | In the course of the dinner you refer to MT. | Cleveland and the rest of us came to an | agreement upon one point about which | there had, I may say, never been any diff | ference, and that was the advisability and
 the necessity of there being only one Dem I ocratic ticket for the state and city. There was no pledge there, as MT. Cleveland was
 of precisely the same opinion" |

Cleveland Gets One Ohio Vote.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 17.-Though Thursday was the last day allowed by law for mak. ing county returns to the secretary of state, at the close of business Fayette, Franklin, Stark, Lucas, Lawrence and Guernsey were still out or had reported only in part. With the official figures from the eighty. two counties reported and the semiofficial figures of those still out, the Republican nominees on the state ticket appear to bt elected. ..
 The same figures show Danford, leading elector on the Republican ticket, has g63 plurality over Seward, leading elector on the Democratic ticket and over the other Democratic electors 3,373. Seward has 200 plurality over the Republican electors below Danford, and thus gives Cleveland one electoral vote from this state. The av. craze Republican plurality is 1,097.
