"There are two men prominent in the
Hill organization who are regarded with
suspicion by the Democracy in general
on this point. These men are Mr..
Murphy himself and Lieutenant Cover
nor Sheehan. There is general i'm
preston in the state OF New York that
they were treacherous to the national
ticket in 1888, and / think 1t not un-
likely that they will be go again this
year if they do not happen to be pleased
with the nomination made, but they
will not be able to carry with them as
many Democrats as they did before,
and l have yet to find any evidence that
they would be supported in treachery
by Tammany hall or the Kings county
organization. Tho man who, pretend
ing to be friend, slips his stiletto in
your back, is a man who is known only
among Mr.. Murphy's own followers.
His power for evil is minimi2ed this
wear by the now ballot reform act. He
Is nan who willbetreacherous to any
body and there is no use trying to hui
NOR him in nomination, because he
will not until election day say whether
he will be truc or false.
every other Democrat in the state OF
New York will vote for Mr.. Cleveland,

pendent and Republican vote OF size
never before known in the national
campaign, Nobody else can do this or
come anywhere near it, For that rea'

ally preferred to Cleveland for presi-
Dental nomination, have no doubt
that he is by far the most available can
didate for the state of New York"

"That is right" sud Mr.. Croker,

they can be any other way"
"Well, am for him, and l am here
