A FINE DEAL WITH WHITNEY
This Bargain II In the Interest OF the
Noble and High Minded Cleveland
The Braves to Scalp the City st Their
Good Pleasure.

NEW YORK, June 15-Some very I'm
portant chess movements are said to have
been made in Democratic politics in New
York within the past few days The Hill
boom Is disintegrating and Cleveland Is
practically assured of the support of
Tammany and the nomination at Chi
cago.
Messrs. Croker, Mclaughlin, Sheehan
and other Tammany bosses have made In
valuable concessions to the Cleveland
faction. 1t Is now becoming speedy ap-
parent that the late convention was not
held in vain. Within week past the
Tammany leaders secretly met delega-
ton of Cleveland men In New York to
talk over the situation. The go-between
was ex.Secretary Whitney.
The meeting was brought about with
out much trouble, and it was agreed that
in consideration Of the Cleveland leaders
abandoning the idea of disputing the
domination Of Tammany in New York
city by settinR up rival organization
the TaInmany chiefs would not only stop
their fight upon Cleveland now, but aid
In carrying New York for him In the
election III, as now seems certain, he
should get the nomination.
The only thing that remains to be done
Is that Mr.. Cleveland must demonstrate
in the convention that he is really the
choice of the party outside Of New York.
The Tammany delegation will be in Chi
cago on the 18th or 18th. It expects TO be
on the ground when the delegations from
other States arrive. A vigorous canvass
will at once be instituted.
Every delegation will be sounded. IL 1t
should appear, as anticipated, that the
ex-President is the choice Of the majority
outside Of New York, no contest will be
- AL <~fx h.
venticu to prevent his nomination. no
compromise candidate will be considered,
and Mr.. Hill will find himself deprived OF
any power to deliver the regular New
York delegasion to any one else.
Mr.. Hills name will be presented in the
same manner AS Mr.. Blaine's name was
presented at Minneapolis. The New
York vote will 60 to him on the first
ballot. The ex-President will have a
majority, but not two-thirds majority,
necessary to nominate him.
1t In possible that New York east
its vote for Hill on the second ballot, but
when 1t becomes evident that Cleveland
York will cast its seventy-two votes for
him and clinch his victory.
That Is the programme as outlined by
one who was directly concerned in the re-
cent consultation in New York.
Mr.. Hill has been practically cast over
snap convention that he WAS not omni-
potent. 1t Is said that he demanded on
that occasion that the delegation should
receive iron-bound instructions to vote
for him first, last and all the time. He
alSo demanded a silver plank OF his own
framing.
With view doubtless to just such con-
tingency as has now arisen, Boss Croker
told Mr.. Hill that he was not prepared 20
make such sweeping concessions. He
would see Boss Mclaughlin. From this
point things ran along in an indefinite
way, and the convention closed its labors
with doing what 1t considered the decent
thing by the ex-governor, and inserting q
silver plank framed by several financial
experts without regard to Hill's wishes.
