York politically is rather curious one.
We have very difficult fight to make,
and we certainly would have preferred
to make;it with some candidate who
would not have aroused opposition in
our state.
''The judgment of our party, how
ever. we accept fully and finally, and
we will do all for Mr.. Cleveland that we
would have done for Hill, or German or
Gray. We feel that We are handicapped,
but New York may be depended upon
to do the best we can even under the
most adverse circumstances. 1t is my
Judgment that with bard work we can
perhaps carry the state. do not like to
make any promises, but if the state can
be carried for Cleveland by loyal and
faithful work, then nobody more than
ourselves will be glad to know that our
fears were ,groundless.
VIII Not SuIk.
Burke Cochran, of New York, said ::
'sIn my speech last night | gave the
reasons why I believed that Grover
Cleveland was not the most fortunate
candidate that we could name. My
advice was not taken. and now l must
take the advice of the convention. The
convention advises Cleveland, and for
Cleveland all our work will be done.
The New York Democracy will not
Sulk. 1t will do the best it can. Ii we
go into this fight without much hope, it
is because we know New York better
than the people of Texas Or Illinois,
but we are Democrats, and as u emo
Gratis. we propose to make the hottest
campaign that has been known in that
state for long time"
