TAMMANY NOT A TRAITOR
THE TIGERS WILL HELP CARRY
NEW YORK.

Col. John R. Fellows Figures Out a
Plurality for Cleveland in the State
New York to Give Him 90 1000, Kings
County 10000 and the Long Island
Counties 5000.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Fifteen thousand
plurality is the figure at which Col. John
r. Fellows of Tammany hall places the
dimensions of the democratic victory In the
state of New York this autumn.
"How do you figure it out9" inquired the
MORNING News correspondent.
"New York city" replied Col. Fellows,
"wilI give Cleveland 60,0 majority.
Kings county will give him 20 900 more and
the other democratic counties on Long Is
land ought to be good for at least 5000
more. This gives us a majority of 85, 900,
and | cannot see how President Harrison
can come down to Harlem bridge with more
han 10000 majority"
"Why do you think Kings county,"
asked, twill give Mr.. Cleveland 10000
majority this year when it only gave him
1900 four wears ago "
"Four years ago. was the reply, "Kingt
was stolen from us. MIR. Mclaughlin was
as certain Mr.. Cleveland would have 1800C
majority in Kings county as he could be
certain of anything. 1t was as great sur
prise to him as it was to anybody when he
saw how the vote had fallen off. The repub-
hcans threw an enormous corruption fund
into Brooklyn and stole it from under our
very noses, for We had no idea that they
contemplated such a course"
"What is to prevent them from repeating
such tactics this yeer-if not in Brooklyn,
elsewherep
''The Australian ballot law" replied Col.
Fellows 'It will be impossible to buy up
voters under that law with any degree of
success It is for this reason we think we
will have at least 90, 900 in New York city,
and our vote in Kings county ought to be
at least 2 900 beyond what we figured IL four
years ago"
TAMMANY TO DO IT'S DUTY.
''If your estimates are correct" inquired
the News correspondent, "they would indi-
cate that Tammany hall is going to do It's
whole duty by the democratic ticket"
"I am sure Of that" was the reply, with
much earnestuess. "Iammany hall WILL do
hetter work for Mr.. Cleveland this year
than she did four years ago, and in saying
that do not mean to say that Tammany
hall neglected her duty by the presidential
candidate then. What mean is that an i'm
preston prevails that our organization is hos
tile to Mr.. Cleveland. We are not hostile to
him, but since this impression exists we feel
that we must neutralize it by putting forth
our best efforts l believe we will do better
work for Mr.. Cleveland this year than we
would have done if Tammany hall had not
opposed him"
"Some of your people," remarked, sop
posed Mr.. Cleveland at Chicago on the
ground that If nominated he could not be
elected. How do you reconcile that with
HacIa ration haf uCt crOfnor m roll
up an increased majority for himp'
Some Of our people," replied Col. Fell
lows, ''were a little injudicious In saying
that. The great majority of our delegation
however, were not 30 extreme as that. They
simply said we would have some difficulty
in electing Mr.. Cleveland owing to his lack
OF popularity in certain quarters, but no
well informed man said we could not elect
him If we tried. We shall try and we ex-
pect to succeed
