the Cleveland Forces.
On Promises of Turning the Rascais Out
Tammany Will Swing Into Line
For the Ticket.


CHICAGO, June 25.-It Is stated
here on the authority of j. ]. Flynn,
Tammany sachem, that there Is
peace on between Tammany and the
Cleveland forces. The story was told
contldentially to prominent Chi.
cago gentleman by Mr.. Flynn just
before the latter left for New York on
Thursday night. On that day CThurs-
day) after Mr.. Cleveland hid been
nominated and after the weary lead
ers and delegates had secured a few
hours repose, Mr.. Whitney who had
his headquarters at the Hotel Richie
| lieu, sent for Richard Croker, the
Tammany boss, with view OF hold
ing a conference. Mr.. Croker re-
sponded promptly. 1t was then that
the two began nosing around for
C ndidate for tho Vice Presidency.
Tammany was opposed to Mr.. Gray,
and Mr.. Croker 50 informed Mr..
Whitney.
"Would concession to you on the
Vice residency work change OF
heart in your organization toward
Mr.. Cleveland ?" asked Mr.. Whitney.
at might. In fact, l have no
doubt it would have good effect"
responded the Tammany chief.
"Very well, them" said Mr.. Whit.
ney. "let Us have an understanding.
Your people are sore at Cleveland be-
cluse he did not turn the Republicans
ont of Office at the Brooklyn navy
ward. / will admit 1t was u political
mistake. But what have you to
hope for. this year by knitting Mr..
Cleveland and helping elect Harii-
son ?"
"Probably as much," said Mr..
Croker, "as we would have to look
for If Mr.. Cleveland were elected"
"No, indeed, }" responded Mr.. Whit
ney, "the people who turn In and
! elect Mr.. Cleveland will be the ones
who will be recognized by the adj
ministration. Tammany Hall will
" y not be forgotten if she does her share
this time"
"If we had assurance that we
y, would get fair treatment, In case the
d ticket is successful" said Mr.. Croker,
"our people would not only vote for
the ticket, as they intend to do, but
would work for it with will"
IS "rhere is assurance enough" re-
e ! torted Mr.. Whitney, "and feel
IS there will be no reason for you to
complain of the election"
II The ex-Secretary then asked Cro-
ID ker how Stevenson would suit New
K York for the presidency, and
), was told he would give much more
m satisfaction than Gray, and accord
ingly Stevenson was nominated.
lma ~ The conference between Whitney
~ AMI Croker lasted until about IL
O'Clock. During all this time the
ia ia Tammany braves, ignorant OF whit
he was going on at the hotel and not
withstanding the fact that Cleveland
40 had been nominated, still kept pin
ned to the lappeIs OF their coats the
badges of Senator Hill. After the
conference closed Mr.. Croker called
o. o' to his room twelve messenger boys,
od and in "A short time had letters In the
* hands of the Tammany leaders In the
~, various hotels, telling them OF Whit
ka ney's promise and ordering them to
OF fall in line for the nominee. Many
me people wondered why 80 many OF the
in Tammany people had so suddenly
nat dropped Hill and put on Cleveland
Ine badge, but the story of the confer
in ence tells the whole tale.
md The reason that ali the Tammany
TO TO me did not put on Cleveland badges
ard in Chicago is because many OF then
ith did not get word in time, and as re
,th suit wore the Tammany emblem
to along to the train. The reconcilia
,ale tion was brought about just In TIM
ear to save many of the New York as
dn Sno sembly from holding parade In re
the volt to the Cleveland nomination. i
inst is further stated that statement ia
vorable TO Cleveland and Stevenson
will b. issued before many days, AM
oell- that 1t will set all doubts as to tn
ives ives attitude of that powerful organixa
most tion at rest.
