nosiny the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, Dut
40 having in the most formal and solemn man
ner published protest against it az making
srcccss in this State extremely imprODapie'
MANY of them are known to have SAID private
". though without cOncealment that IL was
not possiJle to carry the State for Cleveiand.
On the other hand. there is an Irregular ana
unauthorized body calling itself state COM
mittee. appointed by the Syracuse or Anti-ohap
Convention, representing, as they say, al en-
rolment of 200, 900 Democratic voters III the
State. who favored the nomination or Mr.
Cleveland. who do believe he can carry the
State. and are his Jealous and unqucstionlng
supporters This committee are too much IN
terested in Clcveland's success to take the FISK
of giving offence to the regulars by asking or
desiring to take tho management out of their
h,rds and 80 deposine them entirely Not
daring to do that on the one hand. they dare
not on the other intrust the conduct OF Cleye-
lands canvass to men who have no faith IN
his success, and. as they believe, no wish that
be should succeed. In this state of affairs they
would like to have matters arranged so that
both committees should be continued each
working in its own way and supplementary the
efforts of the other for the common cause. This
is ostensibly compromise proposition. the
Apti-Suappers saving: "You 60 ahead in
YOUR own way we oonccdc your regularity and
authority and all that-and We will Just keep
ND our organization and work TO the same end
In directions where you can accomplish noth-
ing but wo can do good service
To which the regulars answer that they are
not TO be fooled with that sort of chaff. The
continuance of this irregular committee they
say. means distrust OF the regulars and sus-
picion of treachcry on their part, and that they
will not tolerate. They say. further that the
movement in which the Syracuse committee
originated had. as its ultimate purpose, and
still has, the overthrow of the Tamnany wing
now in control of the party machinery, ana tho
installation in place of it Of the faction repre-
sentcd by the irregulars. That faction, they
say, Is in the enjoyment of Cleveland's special
favor. and, in the event Of his election, VIII
have the advantage of his active aid with all
the Federal patronage in Overthrowing the ex-
listing management and putting the machinery
in the hands Of his own friends. They do not
rropose in such state of affairs to admit the
Syracuse concern To any sort OF corporation or
recognition in the conduct of the campaign.
In other words, they do not propose to bow
she bellows for heating the iron to put their
own eyes out That may not be- from the
Cleveland point of view. good politics. but 1t
is obviously worldly wisdom.
80 there they are; the Anti-Snappers not
daring either to trust the regulars with fun
control. or TO take the management out of their
hands. And when they beg to be allowed to
cooperate Tammany says: "lou? what
arc YOU doing here? Yot'vc got your can
ddate Wen elect him if we can. But we
don't need your counsel, cooperation or adj
vice. Get out ~ They arc in an awkward
dilemma.
