CLEvRLANDERs RIGHTEN UP
There were o couple of things to-day to
brig hter. up the spirits of the Cleveland
people little. In the first place Carlisle
repudiated the alleged interview in which
he was quoted ss saying that Cleveland
could not carry New York. and in
the second place it became apparent
everywhere that Tammany's fight against
Cleveland was not producing nearly so big
an impression as had been anticipated.
Half dozen politicians from as many diff
ferent Southern States said to me
to-day. in effect, that their delega-
tions were not likely to pay any attention
to Tammany; they have heard the same
sort of talk from that source before in re-
gard to both Tilden and Cleveland; that
Tammany would have to support the nom-
inee, and, finally. that the delegates from
their States would study the situation and
make mp their minds regardless of Tamma-
ny. But Tammany keeps hammering
away.
