peared before the emphatic statement of
Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky, that
they cannot be admitted to the con-
ventlon. The Senator expresses the
opinion also that a considerable anti
Cleveland sentiment has shown itself
within the last few days and that it is
| growing, but that it means the nomina-
ton OF Hill he is not so sure Tammany
and the Hill delegates assert not only
that the Syracuse delegates will not
be admitted to the convention, but that
they will not even ask to be. "They
haven't even a leg to stand one, said
one of them last night. "They
are not democrats, and as
the convention is to be COM
posed of representatives of that
party alone there will be no
place for them" If Tammany has deci-
ded to dump Hill and is locking for
Western man to head the ticket, as re-
ported in one of the morning papers, the
evidences of that fact were skilfully con-
cealed up to midnight Close on to that
hour general Dan E. Sickles, one of the
delegates at large, with his crutch
speaking eloquently of his gallant ser
vices to the Union, sat in the ladies' par
lor at the auditorium surrounded by
crowd of interested auditors to
whom with all the force and
earnestness at his command he
set forth the record of Senator Hill.
and his claims for the nomination at the
hands OF the convention. He laid spe-
cial stress upon the difference between
the attitude of the Senator and that of
MIR. Cleveland in the campaign of 1890.
''Senator Hill," he said, was in Ohio
and defeated Mckinley. He was in
West Virginia and New York and else,
where on the stump and rendered ex-
ceeding great service. He was not slow
to denounce the force bill-that meas
ure which, if enacted into law, would
place the democratic part y wholly at the
mercy of John l. Davenport and his fol-
lowers. 1t is Davenport's blIl IS Hill
compelled him to confess. But who
heard from Grover Cleveland, or any of
the men who are here now demanding
his nomination, in that campaign Cleve-
land has never said word in denuncia-
tion of that bill, and so far as we know
may be in favor of it. Where would the
democratic party be should it pass it2
Senator Hills record as governor is with
out u flaw; no scandal attaches to it; he
is clean public official; and in his
private life is without reproach; and
above all he gave to New York COM
plete democratic administration placing
that party in every branch of the govern
) ment. That is why we are for him for
President. A new combination is sug-
gested this morning-Morrison and
: Flower. The suggestion has some force
| in view of the report that Tammany is
looking for western man to head the
ticket with Governor Flower for second
place. The New Jersey people on the
ground profess to have no knowledge
: of the fact that the name of Senator
Mcpherson, of that State, is to be pre-
l sented to the convention. Resolutions
strongly advocating the nomination of
Cleveland and indorsing his administra-
ton were passed by the State convention,
and according to Oliver Kelly, one of
the delegates, both himself and his col
l leagues regard these resolutions as equiv
i olent to instructions.
