Hon. John Z. Meagher of Minnesota.
who has just returned to Washington city
| from his State convention at Minneapolis,
says: EVERY county in the State had
full representation, and the gathering was
enthusiastic and harmonious. Cleveland
was solidly instructed for, but great as was
the applause at the mention of his name, it
did not exceed the demonstration when the
chairman declared in favor of an honest
dollar. There is victory in the air for the
Democrats in Minnesota this year,
Hon. VIM. r. Morrison of Illinois, SAYS

Of Delegates lately filled by Judge S. F.
Coleman Ct Cumberland,
Editor D. N. Richardson of the Daver-
port, Iowa, Democrat, is in Washington,

Chauncey M. Depew of New York city,
the famous Republican orator, thus out
lines his idea of what the Chicago conyen-
ton will do when 1t meets:
"When the Democratic National Conven.
ton comes together it will be found that two
thirds of the delegates are for Cleveland
They will naturally say to the Hill delegates
from New York:
COVE desire to nominate Grover Cleveland
He represents our chief issue. He created it,
and his name is SO closely identified with it
that to make fight on tariff reform without
Cleveland would be an absurdity. And the
Democratic party must stand for tariff reform
That is our only issue, unless we go back to
spoils. Now we would like to have you help
us nominate Mr.. Cleveland. II you will not
help us we will nominate him without you,
and place the responsibility of standing by the
party nominee upon your shoulders
sWell, we all know that Tammany cares
nothing for national politics as compared with
municipal politics. But Tammany will want
to be friendly with the forces that control the
national Democratic politics. Tammany
would not like to have an unfriendly Demo
cratic national administration which might
encourage the organization Of another Demo-
cratic faction in this city. The result will be
that when Tammany ascertains that the over
whelming sentiment OF the convention is for
Cleveland, it will desert Hill on the instant
a nd on for Cleveland. -
