Tammany Seems to Stand a Good Chans
of Being Disappotnted

Tammany Seems to Stand q Good Chance
of Being Disappointed.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The Brooklyn
Eagle strongly denies the published
statements that at dinner at the Vic
toria hotel Cleveland met the Tammany
leaders and made promises and stipula.
tions to them in return for their support
at his election. In an editorial the paper
says the truth as to what the practition.
srs on Mr.. Cleveland's courage and free
dom learned is this:
They learned that Mr.. Cleveland
wourd make no promises, or anything of
the sort, to any Of them, or to, or for,
any others Through them; that he could
read the success of the ticket in this
state as a matter of much
more Importance to them than to
him; that he repelled the idea
that his idea was questionable by them
or doubtable by any one; that they knew
he was aware who had been his friends
before nomination, and he would know
who had and who had not been his
friends after election; that he would
have no friends to reward on account Of
friendship, and no former opponents to
punish on account of former opposition; !;
that he would go to election or defeat
equally free, and absolutely uncommit-
ted, but that if the Democratic people
and ticket were beaten in this state by
the Democratic machine, another Dem
ocratic organization was ready to take
its place at once, and that in such case
the youngest man present would not
live long enough to see that machine
sufficiently strong to win or to betray a
cause thereafter, or one of their number
ever sitting in q state or national con-
vention again.
AT dinner given by the Manhattan
Single Tax club, Mr.. Thomas G. Shear
man, of Brooklyn, said that at the now
historical dinner there were present
Mesers. Cleveland, Whitney, Dickinson,
Sheehan, Edward Murphy, Jr., and
Richard Croker.
"Mr. Cleveland has not told me any
thing about the pledges he made" said
Mr.. Shearman. "but there happens 70
be a telephone in the room where that
dinner was held, which has conveyed to
mo what happened"
Mr.. Shearman then pictured Lieuten-
ant Governor Sheehan as standing up
and addressing Mr.. Cleveland on the
subject Of pledges.
Mr.. Cleveland replied to Mr.. Sheehan:
"Mr. Sheehan, l have listened with the
utmost attention to what you have said,
l have followed you very carefully and
| think understand you perfectly, and
what have to say in reply, Mr.. Shee-
han, is that I'll be damned before I'll
pledge myself to any man on any sub
ject whatever, and Ill be doubly
damned before l give to you those par
ticular pledges for which you have
asked at this particular time"
