to be Republican, but he insisted that
it was his duty to fight the Tribune.
The Democratic party rewarded him
with office, and he, in turn, showed
his appreciation of the honor by
becoming Democrat. Walter Thayer
was formerly president of the Troy
Mon. He divided honor5 with Nc
Kay in lnvelghing against the Tribune
He now holds a snug berth as warden at
Dannemora prison. Arbitration Com
missioner Florence +. Donovan drew
attention to himself in the same way.
He was one Of the most active members
of No. i in pushing the fight Edward
l.. kean, chief clerk in Commiss sioner
Peck's Labor Bureau, was formerly ed
itor of the Botcptter, at one time the
spector John Franey, OF Buffalo, and his
co-laborer George Guettick, of Svra-
cuse, also won the hearts of the Demo-
cratic leaders by their untlagging zeal in
boycotting the Tribune. John n. Boz
CERT, Iammany scaler of weights and
measures, formerly assisted III editing
the Boycotter, and it is not likely that
either he or George Stevens, now of the
Labor Statistics Bureau. or any of the
rest of this office-holding fraternity,
would have tasted the pleasures of pub
lie life had il not been for the war
against the Tribune.
That Mr.. kenney, the present official
head of No. 4, nhouid have heen able a.
last to ovefcolie tie opposition of these
men and their friends, and take the
union from under the control OF this
partisan sway is most creditable to him
That he should be vigorously criticised
by this element, whose stock in trade

wonder. But there is no danger Of
their success. MIR. kenney represents
sentiment of the organization that
has been growing rapidly of late, until
to-day it controls the union. This SEN
timent is emphaticallv hostile to the
further control of the union by the
Democratic or any other party.
Many of the leading Democratic
organs of the country, the Louisville
Cuurier-J ournal, the Brooklyn Eagle,

Not Burnt Powder Yet.
The Buffalo Courier, q defender of the
Chicago platform, says "all the mani
testoes of Chicago convention week
are burnt powder, and the Republican
papers will find they can do no eXeCu-
ton with such ammunition" To this
the New York Tribune answers: Let
coo ubot ~ iS which II n
as burnt powder" Every delegate
except one who represented the state
of New York in the Chicago convention
signed this unequivocal protest against
Mr.. Cleyeland's nomination.:
In reply to inquiries addressed to us by
delegates from States instructed to vote for
Grover Cleveland. of New York. the
delegates of New York, with due sense
of the responsibility to the Democracy OF
the United States. are constrained to make
answer that in our best Judgment Mr..
ClpyelanH 5 nomination would lmperll the
success of the party and would expose 1t
to the loss of the electoral vote ol the
state.
Now, it is not easy to understand why
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland has
| transformed this stout manifesto into
burnt powder. The seventy one repre-
sentative Democrats who signed it
| united in declaring over their own sig
natures that that nomination would IN
vlte the defeat of the Democrats in No
vember, bv exposing them to the loss
| of the electoral vote of New \ lork.
/ ntil these seventy-one intelligent and
experienced Democrats-speaklng for
| every county in the state-take back
what they said and announce other
views, this will be serviceable powder,
powder which the Courier would do
well not to fool with Soma of these
| davs the excitement of the campaign
NAV lead our Buffalo friend to venture
| the assertion that Mr.. Cleveland can
carry New York. Should that happen,
| the powder of which it speaks con-
temptuously will blow its opinion to
/ smithereens.
There is a good deal of such powder
! living around loose. On his arrival al

/ man of the Democratic committee, fur
nished the newspaper men with 4
statement of the position of himself
] Richard Croker, William +. Sheehar
and the other New York delegates
j That statement contained this interest

Gov. Flower, in conversation with

awarded to Mr.. Cleveland this testl
! monial:
My position is Just this: We believe thai

/ We are here asking the Democracy of the

make the suicidal mistake of making
Cleveland the candidate.
Bourke Cochran. in the course of hi:
great speech in the convention, assured
those whom he addressed that the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland meant the
driving away of the soldier vote OF New
| York from the Democratic ticket
These were Mr.. Cockran's words:

man from Massachusetts,. Gen. Collins
