will come in November 10 matter for
grave apprehension on the part Of the
Cleveland democrats Never before
has Tammany presented in convention
such bold and unbroken front. The
position is took was determined, COM
bativs and unyieldIng. It was not
there TO nominate any man, but WAS
there to defeat Cleveland. In other
conventions it had opposed him
bot lie opposition was divided and mis-
directed. In 1884 it protested against
him, In 1858 it denounced him, but in
1892 IL demanded not that any one n,an
should be- nominated but that Grover
should not be. In other years IT pro-
fessed to submit, but when the votes
were counted Cleveland was not az
strong in the totals ~ other democratic
candidates. 1t submits again this year,
while iss cheeks Jingle with the SHAME
Of humiliation and defeat. The leaders
try 10 be cheerful and predict the sue
csss Of the ticket, but their predictions
have none Of the ring of enthusiasm.
Tsmmspy is crushed in spirit and
wounded in pride. 1t never before pre-
sentsd a solid delegation containing 90
