NEw York, July l2.-Big "Iniin"
Croker summoned all the little "Gnjins'
into the Fourteenth street wigwaIn not
long ago and made them a speech.
sachem Croker and the little "injins"
all had on smile, but It was sort of
slckly, wan smile, Just like that OF tho
fellow who smiles at q joke Ito doesn't
appreciate.
But the saclIem cleared his throat
and said, In effect. "Boys, we've been
pretty hard on Grover, haven't weY
and the Indians, big aud little, grunted
an assent.
awe tried our host 10 down him in
Chicago and TO put in our choice, Big
Injin David, didn't wo?" And whom
Iniins heard the itame Of their beloved
dead there we're great grunts oil grief
and rage and kindred emotions, which
they tried 10 make believe was
hilarious Joy and enthusiasm over the
fact that, though David had not come
in a winner, Grover had, which was
quite as well.
Ana tho Chief sachem, with a tear
for Dayy, continued: Nov, boys,
we'll lot by-gones be by-gones, won't
we?" And the Ingins gruntod another
assent--a kind OF tommahawE assent as
il were.
wont you whoop up little for
Grover and show your faith by your
works?'
Thentle braves whooped a "whoopee"
but it had apparently none OF tho bril-
liancy, vigor or spontnncity, 1t was
thought, of tho whoop OF yore.
In a word Tlmmany always wants to
know what it is whooplng for. a young
Southern Democrat, filed with election
day enthusiasm, was once asked, Are
you Democrat
"Bet your lifeW
"Why?"
81 don't know why-but whoopee!-
bet I'm Democratic"
Tammany, US every one knows. does
not operate on this basis. 1t always
wants to know why it is enthusiastical-
" Democratic, aud it can see no reason
for whooping while Grover is tho head
and front OF the Democracy.
In consequence there is not to be
who found genuineiyimparttat iookeron
tioesnot believe that Tammany's Cleve-
land support is only skin deep, and
that there will be some awful scalping
on the quiet during the pending cam
paign.
Of course, Tammany can't afford ever
to be other than Democratic apparently
and will doubtless operate the scheme
OF claiming all vigorous whooping up in
New York state, while in reality doing
all tho killing possible. AT any rate
there are number oil Democrats who
allege that this is to be the plan Of the
campaign.
Tho "Cleveland Democracy" expects
this, and it ia said they arc making
some clever plays to- checkmate it.
They protest that Tammany will claim
the glory and the credit in the event Of
success, and say the Democrats of the
country will surely know Of Tammany's
backsliding if they try any monkey
business"
Ex-Mayor W. R, Grace, who may well
he regarded as one OF the staunchest
and most answering exponents OF
Clevelandism, reached his summer home
in Great Neck, /. l., on Friday night,
after visit to Pennsylvania, where he
was looking after his business interests.
He was seen by a reporter and asked
what he thought OF Tammany's sim
cerity.
80 speak truly" said the ex-mayor,
II have taken'no active interest in pol
itics since the death OF my son.in-law.
This happened some three weeks ago,
and suddenly. ! am not prepared at
to discuss Tammany's sincerity or in
sincerity, knowing nothing Of the sub.
ject;" ~
not prove false to its professions OF
faith, what do you Cleveland supporters
propose to do"
II do not care to speak Of the subject
at all" he answered. REALLY, am
not prepared to discuss it, knowing
nothing of It,"
"But you attended the meeting OF the
state committee?"
Eyes, and we mean to carry out the
campaign outlined, not only to the let
ter, but with vigor that will sweep
New York state for the Democracy. We
are going to establish active Cleveland
and Stevenson clubs throughout the
state-clubs that will work and mean
something"
Herein, it is said by the knowing
ones, turks the "nigger in the woodpile"
the bug under the chip. These pro-
posed campaign clubs, not unusual in
themselves, will make up 1t is hoped by
the supporters OF Clevelandism, the de.
ticiency confidently expected on account
OF Tammany's inertia. For whatever
Tammany's professions to the contrary,
the Cleveland contingent does not ex'
pect much.
After his reference to these clubs tho
ex-mayor was careful to add: "Of
course. there is nothing unusual in
this. We do that every election, OF
course" with some emphasis on the ''ot
course"
''Do you moan to say that the Demo
Gratis who are really sincere in their
support OF Cleveland genuinely believe
in Tammany's sincerity"
81 do not mean 10 speak on the sub
iect, for, as I've said, have not oeen
paving much attention 20 politics Tor
some weeks" Then the mayor addej
these significant Tor'lE; when :hc
national committee meets Oh the Goth
there will DO plan Of action on:liaCd,
aud / may then 10 able TO SPeaL :asts
definitely. Really, OF present ain nE-
able to discuss tho gabieHt. can say
one thing doGnl!e;Y, hc~ave-: Oleve'
land will be elected next November"
Tho ex-mayor dill got state On whX:
no bas6d this 2osi:iy" prophecy.
