T1MMANY OIL AND MUG HUMP NATTER.

Il
Tammany returns to Newly ork with a body
as sore as Jobs and hear as fierce as
Lucifcr's When the Mugwump organ in this
city described the delegation from Newly ork
in the Democratic Convention a evil spirits
who had been "rolled i'll the dust at Chicago"
it vividly painted the picture which Tammany
recognized as having been, in the minds of It's
fellow Democrats, true and faithful likeness
Of itself. Tammany's modification arises not
because it is composed Of " evil spirits III the
view of Mugwumps. but because the Mugwump
view was accepted by the convention and be-
cause its pr0tcSations, its opinions and It's
wishes were held by the representatives, Of It's
party to proceed from shameful and dishonest
motives, and were met with measure Of Scorn
and contempt which not even the Mugwumps
themselves could have enlarged upon. The
Tammany leaders do not hesitate 70 show their
bitterness of feeling nor do the Mugwllmps
hesitate to pour upon the heads of their de-
jcctcd foes a fierce storm of passion and rdi
Guile. While "Thc NcwYork Times" is saying
that it was "the Cleveland Democracy which
was recognized and influential at Chicago" and
that it is "thc Cleveland Democracy which
now comes into power in NcwY York. and that
Mr.. Murphy must retire from the chairman
ship of the State Committee and Mr.. Shcehan
from his place upon the National Committee,
while the Anti Snappers are arranging to sub
stitute their organization for the regular Dem
ocratic State Committee, and while Mr.. Grace
is preparing to revive the County Democracy,
the Tammany leaders, one after another, are
pouring forth their souls in bitterness.
Says Mr. Croker: 81 am going back feel
ing desperately detected. We were in earnest
when we told the delegates that we thought
the nomination of Cleveland would mean the
loss of NcwYOrl." Mr. Cochran is described
by our Observant reporter as especially seri-
Gus and thoughtful" "You can imagine how
feel" he said, :" if you will believe that every
word have uttered agansi Cloveland's nom
inatiOn was spoken in earnest. The conven-
ton has given us n candidate whom every
man of us that had the Interest of the
party at heart believes cannot carry the
State" Mr.. Shcchan, who said on the
floor of the State Senate last winter
that he didn't pretend to be fair in poll
tics" was greatly disturbed at the scandalous
Influences which had brought about Clcvcland's
triumph and Tammany's humiliation "Thc
influence of great corporations" he said mourn
fully, twas thrown into the fight, and it is
said on every side that immense sums of money
were spent to secure the votes of the Terri
torial delegates" The votes of these delegates
were absolutely necessary to Clcycland's NOM
inaton, and Dstrict-Attorney Ridgvay, OF
Brooklyn, was bold to declare that Cleveland
was chosen by the use of money-Stnndaru Oil
money, if you please" The spirit of revenge
was large and mighty in the soul of General
Sickies. 1--WE told the convention" he said.
that Cleveland could not carry New-York.
and he can't We were not talking for fun.
The Territories nominated him now let the
Territories give him the necessary electoral
votes" Mr.. Eustace, Senator Hills friend from
Elmra, gave expression TO his views with logical
precision and telling force. ''You sec the fix

Cleveland couldn't be elected. We said he
couldn't carry New-York. They wouldn't be-
