conditions was first made.

Sadness is mingled with our pleasures

CHICAGO, June 17-While the Tam
many men had been preparing the above,
ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild d
had been busy getting out statement to
show how Mr.. Cleveland could carry
New York. Here is the statement handed
ont from the anti-snap literary bureau:
NOW. as to this manifesto, we regard
it as O good omen. 1t does not compare
in violence with that framed by Kelly
against Tlldcn In 1875, and yet Tilden
carried the State OF New York by 10000:
against Cleveland in 1884, yet Cleveland
carried New York.
"In the Presidential elections in which
the Democrats have been uufortu nate no
such nanifestoes were issued. Hancock
in 1880 was free from this kind of assault,
yet he was defeated. In 1888 Mr.. Cleve-
land escaped, but he was defeated.
"Now as to Mr.. Hill's strength. In
1885 Mr.. Hill received the support OF a
large number of Republicans, who were
angered by the defeat of Blaine. The
Tribune almost openly advocated Daven-
ports defeat
sIn 1885 the liquor interest threw its
support for Hill. The threat in Warner
Miller's platform alarmed them and the
most efficient means TO protect their busi-
ness was to elect governor. They voted
without regard to the personality of Mr..
Cleveland or Mr.. Hill.
I'm 1885 we did all we could for Hill.
Mr.. Cleveland went to Buffalo and mad

was going to vote for him. In 1883 we

"Mr. Murphy's reference to boiling
might apply with greater force to his own
actions in New York only recently. In
Oswego a bolt was made from the regu-

"The regular Democrats polled 1890
votes and Mr.. Murphy's man 40. A Re
publican mayor was elected result.
Under his influence bolt was organ

suits Both were at the spring elections
this year.
"Mr. Murphy must remember that all
the Democrats In New York are neces-
sary to defeat the Republicans. He
might, with goon results, take some of
the medicine that he has compounded for
Others"
