Corporation Counsel Clark were writ
ing s1mething.
What they were writing presently
took This form:
Resolved, That the Tammany hall
organization, in executive meeting as
sem5ied, cordially endorses the prin-
ciples enumerated by the democratic
national convention at Chicago AMI
pledges its earnest and untiring sup
port to the nominees Of that conven-
tion-Gruver Cleveland Of New York
and Adlai E Stevenson of Illinois.
"Tsere. l think that will do, said
Mr.. Croker, reaiiug i, over again,
and then 'he twenty-tour leaders we're
called back to the private room where
an executive session was held Mr..
Gi!roy presided. Mr.. Croker spoke to
the committe for twenty five minutes
on what the policy OF Tammany hall
should he.
Mr.. Croker in substance said:
This Is an important presidential
campaign, important to the country
and TO this organic alton. The National
democratic party is looking at US. Tne
dissatisfaction which democrat. in
states feel toward New York demo-
Gratis has been caused by US that is .
good deal of it has been caused by the
way in which we supported Senator
Hill. We gave him cur best, and,
taking ali the circumstances together,
We did the right thing.
But Mr.. Hill wasn't nominated
and Cleveland was. l am convinced
that Mr.. Cleveland is stronger with
the people than Mr.. Hill would have
been and that the party il not weak.
ened by his nomination. have been
looking over the field and l am con.
WINGED also that Cleveland can carry
the state by larger m .jority that any
presidential candidate in a generation.
1t is rather curit US thing-I don't
know whe ther you have noticed it or
not-but presidential results in this
state alternate. Mr.. Lincoln carried
the state in 1864. In '6s Seymour
carried it for the democrats. Then
Grant, in ~, brought the state to the
republicans. But IN rs again Mr..
Tilden carried it. Garfield in 80,
Cleveland in 81 and Harrison in
1888. 1t is swinging toward the dem.
ocracy this year.
1.-The party will carry the state,
and it is our affair to create q majority
in New York that shall be greater
than that of Seymour in 1868. Tilden
in 1876 or Cleveland's first majority
in 1884.
Cleveland i. going to carry the
country and it won't do for US to lose
this state. We have got to win.
"Now, want the district leaders
to talk to the district captains and the
men upon whom you depend. Urge
them to work harder this year than
they ever have done. If there is any
grumbling against Cleveland stop it.
Heal up any disaffection that may
exist in your districts an all pull to-
gether.
1--WE shall and will give the state
OF New York to Mr.. Cleveland. l
,ffer this resolu ion."
The resolution, as above, was pre-
septed and adopted unanimously.
Mr.. Crokers manner As he spoke
wSs carr est. Each word was spoken
with deliberate emphasis. 1t was q
lorg ia k for Mr.. Croker, and it had
been careiully thought out. He said
fmucb more than is quoted above, l
am informed, of peculiarly private
character, concerning the advantages
which will accrue to the organization
from democratic success.
The members of the commit ee
would say little about it, but there is
no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland speaking
through Mr.. Whitney, has promised
Mr. Croker fair treatment for Tam
many hall in the distribution Of pat
ronage and in the influence at Wash
ipgton Of New York democrats should
Mr.. Cleveland win.
The district leaders, after Mr.. Gro
ker's talk, were asked to report on the
feeling of their districts in respect to
the nominations. The general sense
| Of these reports is that IN some dis
| tricts Mr.. Hills friends were d issatis-
fed to the extent Of resentme mt. This
wss only in spots. In most districts
Mr.. Cleyelaud's nomination b as been
well received.
