who declared there was no Democrat in
this Union that would vote against that
ticket, but there are behind him two heroes
whose deeds have not escaped the atten-
ton Of history, two heroes who have led
the Union armies to victory, and who have
never made faces at the yanquiShed foe,
and they will tell you here, comrades who
fought with them, heroes who sustained
them, and heroes who fell by their side,
they VIII tell you that the soldier vote OF
New York-of whom there are about 25,-
coo at least DemOcratic-Wlll not support
the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland, and did
not support it in 1888.
No sooner had Mr. Cochran made this
declaration than Gen. Sickles, Of the
New York delegation, proceeded to en-
phasize it by rising and eXclalmlng:
mo, no, never p'-meaning that the
soldiers would never support Cleveland.
Now, the Republicans have very little
use for this ammunition, They are re-
lying for success in November upon the
great principles for which their party
stands, upon its glorious record and its
candidates. They expect to win by
convincing a large majority OF the voters
that the election of Harrison and Reid
will do infinitely more to con-
serve the prosperity Of the country
than the election Of Cleveland and
Stevenson. Nevertheless, that powder
at which the Courier turns up it's nose
is not burnt. 1t is as good as it ever
was. Those who hold otherwise make
us think of the foolish persons who
come to the front now and then, pro-
testing that they didn't know it was
loaded. The most sagacious and influ-
entail of New York Democrats are on
record as expressing the conviction
that Mr.. Cleveland cannot carry his
own state. That is not burnt powder,
but we will tell the Courier what is.
The work which will be done by Dem
ocrats between now and election day
is powder which was burnt-and burnt

Mr.. Field was attacked this morning
by one of the violent delirIum sEells
which have occurred SO frequent
ly during his recent illness. DR.. Cou-
tant was at once summoned from Tar
rytown and administered some ano-
dyne, with the hopes Of getting his pa
tent to sleep. The medicine, however,
proved Of no avail, and in less than
three hours the aged fnancier was
dead. At the time of bis death
there were present Mr.. Fields
three brothers, his daughter, Mrs.
Isabella Judson, and her two sons,
Cyrus Field Judson and Frank Judson.
kilograms were at once sent to the 9TH
er relatives and to several friends, noti-
flying them of Mr.. Fields death.
Mr.. Fields death was not unexpected.
He had been lying in critical condi-
ton for ten days, during which
time he was subject to violent
dellrious spells, each one of which
threatened to end his life. Indeed.
more than once his pulse became so
faint that those who were in attendance
thought that life was extinct. Had it
not been for his marvellous vitality the
doctors believe that ne would have sue
cumbed within a few days after he was
taken i'll.
Yesterday and the day before Mr..
Field showed signs of physical i'm
provement, and it was then thought
ne might recover. Last night, however,
be grew rapidly worse, and this
morning the much-feared delirium
came on. Mr.. Field had been suffering
from physical and mental exhaustion
brought on by the many troubles which
have overtaken him during the past

untouched those of his own. At the
finish and the footing is found that the
session of the One Hundred and Fifty
Majority Congress will exceed those
made by its reckless and extravagant
predecessor, the "Billion Dollar Con-
gress," by about $50, 900, 900. It has
been found that every member COM
prising the majority must get something
for his "deestrick" in order to insure
his own re-election--and, of course,
everyone must be reelected to make
the success Of the party sure-and that
when this is done they have knocked
the bottom out of the argument against
the "BiIlion Dollar" Congress.

either he or George Stevens, now of the

That Mr.. Kenney, the present official
head Of No. g, should have been able at
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
has at last been taken away, is to be
expected, and that they should seek,
as they have done, to have the settle
ment repudiated is not cause for
wonder. But there is no danger Of
their success. Mr.. Kenney represents
sentiment of the organization that
has been growing rapidly of late, until
to-day it controls the union. This SEN
timent is emphatically hostile to the
further control of the union by the
Democratic or any other party.
