NO prssrNsIoN IN NEW YORK.
Referring TO alleged dissension In the
Democratic party OF New York. the speak.
or said that no such state Of things existed
and that he had never seen them so united
enthusiastic, and aggressive as they were
to-day. They say there is a new political
movement IN New York. 1herc is such q
movement, but u 10 q volun,ar organize.
ton FOR the purpose OF guaranteeing that
national issues shall not be sacrificed 10
local ISSUES. But the question comes
back; Won't the Hill machine and TAM
many make the ticket? 1ammany would
support whatever ticket was nominated.
and would give larger majority fo- Cleve-
land than any other Nominee.
Mr. warner said IL was not the politi-
cians upon whom elections in New York
depend the political dog only barks when
ne don't dare 10 bite--but the people. and
II there IL anything which the history OF
tho state IN national issues shows II is
that she 10 safe for Democracy. In Viz
giDia the race question always helped and
stimulated the Democrats VINO went 10 the
polls TO preserve their fresides. but IN New
York the trouble lay in the fact that there
were many voters who would stay at home
II they did not think the leaders had lus-
tiled their position. Grover Cleveland
mad renamed IN dlgnifed retirement, only
coming 10 the front again when needed,
but the people, seeing the war made
against him by petty politicians, have
come 70 the conclusion that be is being
slain for them. When once the Democ-
racy of the New lorg State gets 1t iDi O
their heads that he is beng unJustIy
abused, 100000 will know the reason
why"
COULD CARRY The MOST STATES.
Mr.. Warner said he did not stand advo-
eating Clevelaad's nomination out Of defer
cnce FOR New YORK, bnt out of Difference
20 mathematics. New York did not ask II
hccagss Alcy wanted II from selfish mo-
tlvos, but because he could carry the most
States. Should he loo chosen, they would
show their appreciation by still leading
the majority Tor the next democratic
President.
3lr. Warner. though not an ornate
speaker stated his propositions clearly
and forcloly. He made no attempt al
oratory. but aimed to plainly define hrs
points aud give ms reasons for Cleveland q
nomination. lie was frequently APP
plaudcd.
After nc resumed his seat there were
loud cries for " Mise," but be did not re-
