sembled representatives Of the party,
whether they sat upon the floor or
among the audience, richly merit those
honors which are inherently associated
with duty we'll performed.
Let US glance again at that moment
Gus session. Probably the most striking
feature Of the night was tie mastery
campaign carried out by the anti-C,eye-
land men, having for its object the de-
lay which they
HOPED WOULD BRING VICTORY,
and now that the great struggle is over
and Tammauy and It's frieads have sue
cumbed to the rasistless pressure which
bore them down men turn with admi-
ration to the Napoleon-Iike fate of the
yaaoui.h he'd generals. In this contest,
won for Cleveland under the brilliant
leadership of Whitney, the vain strug-
giles of scch men as Dewitt, Of New
York, and Daniels, of Virginia, COM
manded the respect Of those opposed to
them, while the last despairing stand Of
Bourke Cochran Of Tammany was plea
worthy OF any cause. Only the con-
summate chieftainship Of man like
Whitney, backed by weight Of numbers
as it was, could have achieved such
triumph as Was won a, daybreak this
morning for Grover Cleveland.
The reader will perchance wonder
why make no mention Of the Boise
mkn. They were numerous, their lead
els were eloquent, their management
crafty, the rank and file alert and vigi-
liant; but comparison fails between their
drht for place and Tammany's confess
ed combat for existence ana spoils. w.
