rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

dispatch high character from New York,
Mugwumpish Republican, said to me:
"Keep you reye on Whitney as the dark
horse The Tammany men have served
notice that they will not support Cleveland
nor any Mugwump, which disposes OF
Boies. Hill has a splendid organization
here. His committees are all picked out 1
think that Whitney and Gray will be the
ticket. 1t is clear to me that Cleveland
cannot get two-thirds."
In a few moments 1 met one of Mr..
Whitnev's household, who said: TT is true
that thev have rendered Whitney the sup
port of New York, but he told me, only
lust now, that under no circumstances
would he accept. He has written letter,
and he says that to write one thing and
wink at his own nomination would be a
hypocrisy he could not commit He feels
that he owes a debt to Cleveland for putting
him in his Cabinet He says, moreover,
that Cleveland has got this convention,
and he believes will be nominated on the
first ballot, but ifnot, the Cleveland men
are prepared to STAY here three months
rather than see any combination prevail
against him.
Plan of the Anti-C!evelandites.
told this to John Fox, of New York,
who said: "We would like to vote for
whitney, but he is emphatic in refusing to
take it. Nevertheless the friends of the
different candidates other than Cleveland
have concluded upon an agreement They
are going to vote each delegation for its
own candidate, in the belief that upon the
failure of the first ballot Mr.. Cleveland
will be given up Illinois, for example, is
committed to Cleveland, but not beyond
one ballot We have counted the dele
gates, and are satisfied that he has not two
thirds to commence with. We can then ad-
iourn and work over night to accomplish
satisfactory results. "
Mr.. Fox added that Mr. Boies was not
acceptable TO the New York Democrats.
"Do not Join the Democratic party. for
there vou must go to the tail of the class, !"
was the advice given by Democratic editor
to his Republican contributor, and Boies,
GRAY and even Campbell are finding it out
Perhaps Tammanv Hall has the least big
otry in this respect of any element of the
Democracy. They have always been ready
TO take up Republican or war man and
faithfully support him. They are now
here with General Sickles, who left the
Democracy in the anti Nebraska times, and
never returned to it till 1880, when his fel-
low soldier, Hancock, was nominated. Then
soldiership and the good things Tammany
had to offer prevailed. o.,
Must Have New York and Indiana
Victor Baughman, fne-looking and in
auential man in Gorman's delegation, who
owns the Frederick City stock farm, and
married a daughter of Abel, of the Balti-
more S,al, remarked 81 think that We are
lust going to have the same fight over for
New York and Indiana. Indiana belongs
to u.s. but Doodle sometimes gets 1t away.
All this talk of Villas about carrying Wis
consin, Illinois, Iowa, ETC., has been proven
absurd. We waited four years ago, and be-
fore that, for the great revolution, and the
Northwest stuck to the Republican party
every time.
Among the claims made in behalf of
Senator German is not onlv that he stopped
the force bill, but that he elected Cleveland,
and it is even made that he did it by threat
eninC assassination to individuals and by
having the Republican districts in New
York City recounted in Cleveland's favor.
The persons who make these statements
seem to think that they will do German
good.
Robert Garrett, Just before his mind
weakened met b. z. Jones, the Chairman
Of Blaine's campaign, and said to him: IF
YOU count Blaine in you will be killed. !"
Norvin Green is said to have received word
from German that if he did not stop putting
out dispatches claiming Blaine's election,
Mr.. German, who did not live in New
York, would not be responsible for the
property OF his company nor the lives of
its inmates This sort of Democrat does
not like to see Mr.. Boies enter the party
and get anything. They saw he cannot re-
mark like Governor Hill, 'I am a Demo-
crat,'' for he was not born there.
Campaisn Fodder for the Northwest
All these points are liable to be used in
the campaign in the Northwest when Boies
is turned down and Gray for the second
time set underneath some old gentleman
like Thurman. The nomination of Thur
man is bitterly referred to here among the
instances of Cleveland's headstrongness.
When Tammanv Hall got in its work all
dav and night Friday, as some of the South
ern and Western delegates began to waver,
the Morrison boom was being strenuouslv
urged, and it may be said that
Carlisle favors it, for he was Morri-
sons creation. Morrison, commencing
in 1874, made all the Democratic programmes
electing Kerr and Carlisle and bringing
free trade to the front The weakness of
his movement is that it is partially ac-
cessorv to Cleveland, and he would drop to
the Vice Presidency gla tly. Having been
q soldier he would supply the military re.
quisite, while he is esteemed by the South
erners But he was made ofhceholder by
Cleveland, and so continued by Harrison.
He fills the vacant places in Boies' record,
having been always Democrat.
At the RchelIeu Hotel, late Friday
night, large, tat, inoffensive-looking man,
who might have temporarily supplied the
place of the tat boy in the dime show, stood
leaning upon the desk. 1t was Baby Bis
sell, OF Buffalo, that beautiful ALTERATION
in the flesh, who was Cleveland's partner.
He was sending up his card to William C.
Whitney, the general of all our forces, who,
after getting pint of champagne and some
lunch, and refusing all cards, came down.

300 a year, and his business was to do the
