Hill people have made an agreement to work
for the election Of Cleveland ON the promise Of
the United States senatorship. They are not
likely TO make q contract Of this sort for goods
which the other people could not deliver. but
which they themselves are likely to control in
case the New York legislature is democratic.
WHAT MAY BE REQUIRED.
1t is likely to require something more than .
mere promise Of q senatorship to induce the
Tammany people to take off their coats and go
to work for Mr.. Cleveland. They will have to
have assurances that their state and city ma
chinery is not to be interfered with by way Of
the great power which they would put into Mr.
Cleveland hands by electing him. The avowed
determination of Grace and other anti Tam
many leaders to keep up their anti-snap organ
izat1ons throughout this city and the state gen.
orally has put the Tammany people more than
ever on the alert and added to the suspicion
which they feel of tho Cleveland people, Hence
1t Is well enough for people who want to form
an Intelligent and accurate opinion on the New
York situation, or who contemplate risking
their money upon it, to await Developments, for
they may put it safely down q fact that the
"snappers" are not going to sell out their con-
troll Of the city and state politics and Offices for
promise of a United states senatorship. which
they could control as easily without that prom
Use as with it.
SAMPLE OF ONE KIND OF DEMOCRAT.
There can be no doubt that there il a con-
siderable element among the democrats which
is fully determined not only to refuse to sup
port Cleveland, but to actually vote for Har-
rison. L met a newspaper friend of fifteen
years standing here yesterday. He has been
seven or eight years in New York. and has been
from the cradle to the present time democrat.
His associations have all been with democrats
and largely with Tammany people He is thrown
daily and hourly into contact with men who
affiliate closely with Tammany leaders 1
asked him what he thought Of the situation
'Of couse, l could not afford to be quoted
by name" he said, but / don't mind telling
YOU confidentially that am going to vote for
Harrison"
If he had said that he expected TO take a trip
to Mars tomorrow could not have been more
astonished, for his democracy has been of the
rock-rlbbed, changeiess sort that words cannot
describe.
Chow is that I asked. at will be new
experience to you, will it not?'
Yes" he said. sit will be, but have fully
made up my mind to it. This man Cleveland is
no democrat. And particularly he is not
friendly to the democracy of New York. When
ne was President before he did nothing for New
York worth talking about. He gave all the
offices to the south and to lot of mugwumps
here who were not democrats l refused to
vote for him four years ago. This time shall
do more than that. shall vote for Harrison
DO you know any other people in the same
way Of thinking"
Plenty of them. know of Twenty-Five or
thirty in my own district. A friend Of mine
who is a sort of political boss in his own dis
trlct, tells me that there are $50 in his own dis
trict"
'Is it entirely on account Of this question of
the recognition by Cleveland Of the regular
democracy that you are refusing to support
him?'
mo. l don't like his free trade theory: 1
am Randall democrat and believe in reason
able protection, and 1 cannot swallow the ex-
treme views on this subject which are made a
part of the democratic platform this time
This, of course, is an isolated case and may
not count for much in a great state with the
number of voters that New York has Yet it is
an interesting straw"
