knose lew people WHO have been hoping
that another than Mr.. CLEVELAND would
be nominated at Chicago are getting ready
10 throw up their hats when the announce
ment shall come tomorrow that the great
and good man TO whom the majority of
American people have been looking to lead
them out Of the bondage Of oppressive tax
alton, has been chosen as Democracy's
standard bearer. The choice is now settled
beyond peradventure. 1t may be doubted
that the call of the states will be COM
pleted before the nomination will be made
by reclamation, so eager will everybody in
the convention be to show that the party is
united and there are no sorsheads. The
country demands CLEVELAND and the dele
gates will obey. first because they want to,
and second because it,would not avail TO
oppose. The Democratic being the party
OF the people its agents when sent to con-
venticns are careful to carry out the wishes
OF those who commission them.
The enemy, that is TO say the Republi
cans, knowing the strength Of Mr. CLEvE-
LAND with the masses are chuckling over
what they want to believe is fatal
quarrel IN New York, but their merriment
will be short lived. Some severe things
are said about Tammany. 1t Is called cor
rupt, dishonest and vicious, but it never
occurred to anybody to designate Tam
many as an association of fools. To say
that great political society would
oppose Mr.. CLEVELAND after the nomi-
nation would be to class some of
thegbest and brightest men and cleverest
politicians in America as ignoramGses.
Tammany is Democratic, which in this day
is equivalent to saying it will stand by the
party. But If it were not disposed to do
this, if its dislike Of candidate were so
intense that it could not heartily support
him, IN this instance it would be almost
suicidal to oppose. 1t must always be
borne in mind that whilst Tammany is
mighty, It's support is not essential to Dem
ocratic success in New York. Many times
Tammany has fought the Democracy and
been defeated. In every such con-
test it has suffered q loss of pres
tige, and there have been times
when If it had not wheeled into line the or
ganization would have been crushed by the
Democracy. On this occasion, however,
there is nothing suggestive of bolt by
Tammany. 1t has everything to gain by
remaining true to the party, and getting all
the credit possible out Of assisting to carry
the Empire state. It has every thing to lose
by taking the opposite course. Futher-
more, it will do as Senator Hill
say, and he would be the reverse
of the able and shrewd politician
and patriotic Democrat that be is were
be to do otherwise than put forth his
best efforts for the success of the party
II New York were to be lost this year,
after giving Mr.. FLOWER $4,000 majority
last November, Mr.. Hill would have to
shoulder the responsibility Of the disaster
and accept the execration of his party. lie
could never recover. All his shrewdness
would avail him nothing. Ae is aware of
this, and he and Tammany will see to it
that New York does her duty
by her favorite son aud the
nations idol. That will be good
politics on the part If Senator HILL. and
will hold him in the lne of appropriate re-
ward when the proper time shall arrive.
Another thing-Mr. CROKER, the head of
Tsmmsny, is one of the truest of Demo-
CEsbs' nc LAS sdiu Aahy tiLnes 1aUely JnhG
whilst he favored HILL, the conventions
nominee would receive loyal support from
Tammany. There is no nervousness on
the part Of any Democrat regarding
the party. Everybody feels that there
will exist such harmony and such loyalty
as have never before been witnessed. Only
Republicans are anxious and nervous
They are afraid the Democracy will not
divide and engage 10 a suicidal fight
In all probability the nomination will be
made tomorrow, ana we may almost doubt
that any other name than CLEvELAND's
will be mentioned in the convention.
