LIVELY SCENES IN EMPIRE STATE.
When Young Chiccory's Winter Con-
vention Tried to Disfranchise
Democracy.

New York, April 1S.-A prominent
publishing house of this city have just
taken the copy for new book which it
is calculated will cause a sensation in
political circles. 1t is well written up,
and is devoted chiefly to describing Sen
ator Hill, posing as a democrat; and is
made up from actual facts and speeches
of leading democrats of the state of New
York. It's opening chapters pictures
Daniel in the executive mansion at
Albany, plotting, and describes the CON
dition of the mansion as the wife Of his
successor found it. His February con
vention is described as being n csssarily
held in the winter, as Frank N. Thorne
said: because he knew what sort of a
gang his convention would contain, and
he naturally wished to hold the conven-
ton before the weather got warm enough
to encourage its tendency to putrefaction.
He knew that such a convention as that
coulden't endure its own society in
warm weather., long enough to hatch
anything He is then taken to Wash
ington, where decent democrat couldn't
be found to introduce him, and he fell
back upon the sympathies of an old
school mate from Oregon, republican
(Dolph) who, in the kindness of his
heart, did the act as graciously as he
could. A large part OF the book is taken
up with quotations from democratic
speeches, of a most withering kind.
One of which is like this, from a speech
at the big meeting in Buffalo April 5th:
The speaker said: '.Within the last
three months he has been for tariff re-
form, and against tariff reform, by re-
vival of the republican atomination
of 1888; against nibbling tariff reform,
for nibbling tariff refc rm. and again
against the nibble. He has been for and
yainst free coinage and has mysteriously
straddled due south by north upon it.
And so this burlesqu political skirt
dancer cavorts and kicks and twists
and turns and bows and smirks and
throws kisses at the political baldheads,
and tries to palm himself off as an in
nocent young thing OF beauty and JOY
forever, and Delsartean dream ofgrace,
when all the while he is simply making
an indecent exposure OF himself, as a
political street-waIker Offering himself
body and soul at the low price of vote
or a delegate. fApplause.I "Hill is
very eloquent on q type writer, if he
dosen't happen to forget his extempor-
aneous carpet-bag. [Lsughter.I Having
named the delegates and the ~alternates,
Gn his February convention) and re-
lieved the democratic party of the
trouble of nominating electors at the
usual fall convention; having, it is said,
even prescribed the soubriquet of Young
Hickory by which he was introduced,
which the satirists have happily con-
verted into Young Chiccory, TO indicate
his quality; having usurped all the usual
functions of the delegates, nothing was
] left for the convention but to cough
when Young Chiccory sneezed. It was
as absolutely void of opinion or volition
as CARLOAD of spoilt CLAIMS in compost
heap in August. And so by Young
Chiccory's command, in not speech,
resolution, or other proceeding, was the
name of Cleveland permitted to appear"
