Cleveland's English Allies.


O. how the Britisher Iongs to vote for Ceve-
land
But he cannot, and must content himself
with merely sending over funds and doing
what he may from the other side for the cause
he loves SO well.
He thought at ono time that he could sub.
serve that cause BY calling indignation meet
ings Of Englishmen In England to protest
against American legislation for Americans.
He used, also, to dsnounce and abuse the
candidates Of Protection aud laud the repre-
sentatives Of Free-Trade in the public prints.
But he found that 30 doing rather helped than
injured Protection.
So word has been sent across tho Atlantic by
Cleveland's lieutenants that open advocacy Of
his election by Englishmsn must cease II they
wish to see him President again.
And the Britisher. ever ready to make any
sacrifice for his friends on this side, suppresses
his bubbling enthusiasm and now manfully
cusbs each mighty impulse to say word IN
bohalf Of the American candidate Of the Cob.

During session Of the " Congress OF Cham

on June %, Mr.. B. r. stiehel, president Of the
Nottingham Chamber Of Commerce, arose and

In other words, Of the production Of tin and
terns plates proper for the year over 6 per
cent. and Of the total production oyer 10 psr
cent, were made from American black plates.
Further inspection shows that the quarterly
increase in the production OF black plates has
been In about the same ratio as that OF tin and
terne plates. The preparations that are going
forward for the production Of black plates, BY
American manufacturers. lus'ifles the belief
that this rate OF increase will be maintained.

Total production for the year. =. Il, s46. 7l9
Besides the foregoing It should be stated.
further. that the production Of American sheet
iron or steel. made into articles and wares,
timed or terne-coated during the year, as
shown by tho sworn statements OF manu-
facturers received to date. was 4,82s.22s
pounds.
Az these manufactures constitute tin and
|terne plates within tho meaning OF the law,
iii now seems probable that whom full returns
|oi the Same are received the total production
for tho year, inclusive Of such manufactures,
will not fall much short Of q. 0o0. 900 pounds.
OF the production Of tin and terne plates
during the past fiscal year, little more than
|90 per cent. was Of the lighter class Of Plates
named In the Law, which alone are subject to
with the same class Of plates im-
ported. II practically the Same ratio OF weight
between the lighter and the heavier class OF
pilates should be maintained during the present
fiscal year, ~ presumably It will be-, there
would result upon tho foregoing estimate q
production Of 10000 600 pounds. weighing
Lighter than So pounds per 100 square feet, or

New YORK, Aug. l6.-A story that
David b. Hill was willing 10 make a

he is as yet but little known. He be-
Iieves that he WAS born to be . diplo-
mat and such place % the portfolio
of the state department would satisfy
his ambition. If the story be true Hill
will assuredly be backed by Tammany

very anxious TO have one OF It's partic-

Washington. Tammany mas il IN its
power to roll up such big majority IN
the city that the state will be almost as

shortly after 6 O'Clock last night Dan
iel Campsu. chairman OF the demo-
cratic state central committee, received
q letter from Governor Winans, with
drawing his name and refusing to per-
mia il to go before the convention un-
der any circumstances. Mr.. Campau
said the letter is not . personal one,
but is addressed 10 the convention, and
therefore he did rot feel a. liberty to
reveal It's contents However, in reply
TO an inquiry in regard to the govern
or's motives in Withdrawing his name,
Mr.. Campau said: II think Governor
Winans feels that he IL not in strict
sympathy with . large portion Of the
party in regard TO the colnsgc bill. He
has felt the pulse OF the party and
found that he IS not in sympathy with
its views on the sahject. Accordingly
he decided to Withdraw his name -~ther
than accept al Office when he could
not conscientiously and freely endorse
every plank that the PLATFORM might
contain"
The existence of the letter was not
revealed until the meeting of the state
central committee at 5 O'Clock when
Mr.. Csmpsu Informed the members of

Clark people would bolt. They had
agreed upon this line of action and
today they carried it out. The con-
vention never even formed q demo-
cratic organization. Ex-senator Mat
teck moved that the vote on election of
chairman be taken viva vOce. Chairman
finally ruled this out of order and the
noise broke out. Ex-senator Mattock
jumped from the chair and asked those
who favored the election of Jonathan
Lane for temporary chairman to
signify by saving "aye." The
Clark delegates and the spectators
all chimed in and 4 mighty shout went
up from the thousands of throats and
Mattock declared Lane elected. Then
the Clark banner waved and the Clark
people left the hall. Men were pull
and yelling Several fights
were going on and pistols and danger

For several minutes it looked as though
