as Cleveland is running, and after that they
are to drop him. But will Cleveland ever
stop running? May he not have tied up
other States with the same propositions"
Arranged by CleveIand's Friends.
''No," said my friend, 'tyou may depend
upon it that they are Cleveland's friends
who have made this arrangement, such as
,, William Singerly, in Philadelphia, who
was always welcome to Cleveland's pres
ence He owns the Philadelphia Record,
which broke ground in Pennsylvania for
free trade when it was deemed in that State
heresy and ruin to take such step. Sing
erly is the partner of Pattison in the bank
ing business, and, with the late w. L. Scott,
revived Pattison. Pattison is the nearest
approach to Cleveland in his political pro-
cesses He has band of Philadelphia mug
wumps who turn out and elect him when
ever these will not support the Republican
ticket So Cleveland wants Pattison as the
best representative of his essays and him.
self-that is what we understand. The men
running the Pattison boom are trying to
hold it back and throw earth upon it, like
charcoal pit. But it is there, and you watch
it after Cleveland shall fail"
1t occurred to me either that the Cleveland
men had been lying in their figures or that
Governor Pattison was indulging a very
remote hope It is possible that the Cleve-
land figures have been false? Or, do the
Cleveland men fear their figures will di-
minish under the onset of the Tammany men
and their allies?
Talking about this everlasting force bill,
sometimes it looks as If the Southerners
were being played by man with "green
goods. 1 can now understand what was said
to me at Minneapolis bv some Democratic
onlookers that Harrison's nomination would
compel the tariff, the Billion Dollar Con-
gress, etc, to be Withdraw, and the fight
made on new issues, such as the negro and
the force bill Pattison has apparently
some elements of great strength before the
people.
Peculiarities of Pattisonism.
1t is the first time, perhaps. in the his
tory of this country that Methodists and
Catholics have inclined toward the same
national Candidate Methodist with
Methodist preacher father, and both con-
spicuous in the church conventions, and
both conspicuous in the TRUST conventions
and corporations. Pattison studied law with
Roman Catholic, Cassidy, whom he made
his Secretary OF State against the Presby-
terian opposition in Pennsylvania, and he
has now made Harrity, Cleveland's post
master in Philadelphia, another Catholic,
his Secretary of State for the second term
Harrity is an active-looking young man,
rather handsome with the Irish genius for
political details. Were Pattson to become
President, the Pennsylvania fellows would
have pot-pie. The foreign missions would
would sell two for penny on Chestnut
street, the Philadelphia mint would give
away mint-drops to the boys, there would
be ship canal from Philadelphia to the
South, the Ohio river would flow into Lake
Erie, the Reading Railroad would consoli-
date with the Pennsylvania Railroad and
run all over the earth.
Beautiful are the delusions of a nomina-
tion convention, resembling the dream of
the Persian trader with his half-dozen
vases of glass in the market place, who,
having married the Vizier's daughter and
succeeded to the Caliph, kicked the said
daughter with his foot because she whined
too much upon his love and filled the mar
ket house with cracked glass to the great de-
light of the cobblers and barber-surgeons.
What has extirpated the ancient prejudice of
Pennsylvania against New York? Can it
be the street Car syndicate which went over
to New York and annexed the Whitney
syndicate and has ever since been the ball
which is rolling on for Tippecanoe and
Chicago, too? GATH.
Boies' Boomers still Nofsy.
