CLEVELAND TO SAVE wERTs.
The chairman OF the Democratic National Com
mittee at all happy yesterday. News that he
had received from various States was not by any
means comforting for him. Early in the day the
agents which he has had going through NewJersey
reported to him that the danger Of Mr. Cleveland
losing that State great that the managers III
Judge wers's canvass had determined upon IA dcs-
perate scheme 10 save the State machine from abSo
lutte defeat The imprisonment OF many OF the
Democratic ballotbox suffers has weakened materially
the Democratic forces. These men always could be
depended upon manufacture Democratic malortcs
on demand. The loss of them and the fear u dctcc'
ton and Imprisonment have made the members OF the
gang that has run the state so long extremely uh
certain as to the result.
The gang would much prefer TO elect Judge Werts
Governor than carry the STATE for Grover Cleveland
The bosses know that the Judge could be depended
upon by them to do just about as they wanted MN
10 IN case OF his election they learned that Grover
Cleveland friendly them only so far as he had 10

willing TO give the Republicans the electoral vote
OF NewJerSey. II they will let the Democrats nave
the Governorshp. This is why Chairman arrlty OF the
Democratic National Committee, was so blue yes'er
day. He had learned positively that various Demo

vlsing every Democrat who could be depended upon
IN trade votes with the Republicans. With every
Republican whom they could get TO do 50 these men
were instructed to offer to vote the Repubhcah
electoral ticket II the Republican In turn would vote
.or Judge Werts for Governor. Chairman Harrty
does not expect that tie Republicans VIII consent
10 make any such bargain, but the fact that the
Democrats are willing to make that kind OF trade
II the Republicans would become party to II, mas
shown him that Mr.. Ceveland's cause there Is prac-
,cally hopeless unless something is done CHAIR
man Iarrty knows, Of course, that the New-Jerecy
Democrats care for their candidate Tor Governor
than they do for Mr. Cleveland snd that lie Is Huch
stronger in the State than the Democratic canoldh'e
for President. on this account, therefore, the re-
norris that he received gave him tit OF the cMls
