Mr.. Whitney again devoted his time and
attention to his large and increasing busi-
ness interests in this city, but also took
care to maintain and strengthen the valua-
BILE and important alliances he had formed
while in Washington.
Mr.. Whitney's political course during
the past year has been thoroughly charac-
teristic of the man. While Grace. Fair.
child and other friends of Cleveland were
manifesting their opposition to Senator
Hill in various ways, Mr.. Whitney did not
appear in the foreground, and it was stated
by those who enjoyed his confidence that he
was out of politics. For some time preced-
ing the convention at Chicago he was absent
in Europe, but returned in time to take
personal charge of the movement for the re-
nomination of Cleveland. His work at
Chicago last June was brilliant in the ek.

He returned from Chicago, aside from
Mr.. Cleveland, the most conspicuous mem
Der of his party, and could his rarty asso-
ciates have had their way he would without
division have been made Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. The dis
advantage and annoyances of the position.
however, impelled him to decline the posi-.
tion, but he has from the first taken a very
active part in the campaign and is almost
daily at the headquarters of his party. The
effect of the greater part of the work per-
formed by Mr. Whitney at the present
time does not appear upon the surface, but
it is nevertheless adroit, we'll timed and of
the first Importance.
As politician he has thoroughly mas
tered and in some respects improved upon
the methods employed with such wonderful
success by his old leader, Tilden. He be-

HOW IT FEELS TO DIE.

temporarily dead. In both cases they al
lege that they passed into a new and con-

ing is from the Pail Aal Budget:

and more complicated field of national pol
| itics, and greatly increased the respect in
| which he was held by the astute politicians
of this city.
His Street Railroad NIanipulations.
Between 1880 and 1884 Mr.. Whitney took
only O passive interest in politics. A COM
mercial scheme, which is just now being
brought to completion and which will place
the control of nearly all the surface rail-
roads of New York in the hands of Mr..
Whitney and his friends, in the main occu-
pied his time and attention during these
years. This enterprise, requiring for its
conduct the very highest order Of talent,
promises golden returns, SURPRISING in vol
ume and regularity those of the famous
Comstock lode.
At the Chicago Convention of 1884 Mr..
Whitney again came to the front, and had
much to do with securing the nomination of
Cleveland He did more to turn the Ohio
delegation into line for Cleveland at the
moment when their votes would have the
greatest effect than all the other Cleveland
leaders combined. In the exciting and
historic campaign which followed, Mr..
Whitney took quiet, but for that reason
most effective part He led in the work. Of
supplying campaign funds when they were
most needed, and had much TO do with lay
ing out the plan of battle by which Cleve-
land was elected. Whitney's appointment
as Secretary of the Navy was some hat of q
surprise to the general public, but not so to
the men familiar with the inner history of
the campaign. t

Mr.. Whitney was in many respects an

: Aside from Whitney and Lamont, Mr.
Cleveland has a small coterie of personal

| some of whom are remarkable men. In

| Buffalo, Mr.. Cleveland's former law part
| ner: Years ago Mr.. Bissell was a law
student under Mr.. Cleveland and he has
ever since been one of the ex-President's
most devoted admirers. 1t was upon the
advice of Mr.. Bissell that Mr. Cleveland
became candidate for Mayor of Buffalo,
and it was Mr.. Bissell who managed the
canvass for the gubernatorial n nominstion
which rendered possible Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination for the Presidency. Mr.. Bis
sell is one of the leaders of the bar of West
ern New York, man of fine intellect and
resolute and forceful character. He mar
ried the college chum Of MI. Cleveland's
wife and the relations between the two men
have all along been close and confidential.
asked Mr.. Bissell not long since what
he regarded as the secret of Mr.. Cleveland's
success, and he promptly replied: "His
untiring industry and energy. allied to un-
tagging honesty and an abundant stock of
hard common sense. His mind is eminent
ly impartial and he would have made q
splendid judge As lawyer he prepared
himself thoroughly for the trial of q case,
and once enlisted in cause he carried the
battle to the end. He never belonged to
the class of money making lawyers; he met
the poor client and the rich one on the
same footing, and he often gave his services
to those in distress without the expectation
of compensation. To younger members of
the bar he was always most generous and
helpful 1 think it can be truthfully said
of MI. Cleveland that never in his life has
he sighted any task he has undertaken"

Such, briefly sketched, is the man who

Mr.. Cleveland in the present campaign.
In appearance Mr. Whitney is tall and
erect, with . handsome, well-carved face
and an air that suggests health, vigor and
good spirits His manner is always genial
and cordial, and impels respect while re-
pelling familiarity of any kind HIS
future, should Mr.. Cleveland be elected,
suggests some interesting probabilities 1t
10 well known that he does not desire to
again serve in the Cabinet. He regards a
Cabinet position as little better than a
clerkship, and by no means the road to take
in order to reach the higher goal which he
now doubtless has in his mind. 1t is stated
on good authority that should Mr.. Cleve-
land be the next President Mr. Whitney
would like to be our Minister at the Court
of ST. James, q position for which his
wealth and social gifts brilliantly equip
him.
When franklin Pierce made James Bu-
chanan Minister to England in 1852, by
taking the latter out of the field of actual
politics at q trying aud critical period, he
paved the way for Buchanan's nomination
and election to the Presidency, and it is
within the range of possibilities that Mr..
Cleveland may perform a similar service
for Mr. whitney. At any rate, the latter
is now regarded as Mr.. Cleveland's political
legatee and, though it is far cry to 1896,
the opening of the next Democratic Con-
vention will probably find Mr.. Whltney's
name heading the list of possible Presiden-
tai candidates
How Dan Lrmont Helped Cleveland.
Mr. Whitney has done Mr.. Cleveland
many q good turn in the past ten years, but
none greater than when he advised Cleve-
land at the opening of his term as Governor
to make Colonel Daniel S. Lamont his pri-
vate secretary. Lamont supplied just the
qualities which Cleveland lacked and
never did subordinate render chief better |

Whitney, e1-Secretary of the Navy. stands
as the personal representative Of Mr.. Cleve-

ney is in many ways a remarkable man.
His first meeting with Mr.. Cleveland was
quite out of the ordinary run.
1t was at the State Convention held in
Utica and which nominated Cleveland for
Governor. Mr. Whitney was present as a
delegate, but before the assembling of the
convention he received telegram inform
ing that his wife was ill and requesting his
instant return to this city. Before respond

national politics than he. During the early
part of Cieyeland's public career Lamont's
discretion, shrewdness and experience saved
him from many serious and perhaps fatal
blunders, and when Cleveland removed
from Albany to Washington he insisted
that Lamont should accompany him, and
from his own pocket paid him annually q
sum equal to the salary which he received
from the Government as private secretary
to the Presidents Lamont enjoyed ,Cleve-
lands confidence in fullest measure, but he
never abused it nor used it to his own adj
vantage Those who know the inner politi-
cal history Of the early months of 1888 have

fessional success, and won the friendship
of Tilden, who. always wise and cautious in
his choice of lieutenants, found in the
brainy and rising young lawyer q man after
his own heart.
What Whitney Owed to Tilden.
At the instigation of Tilden, Whitney
was appointed corporation counsel This is
the law officer of this city, and the position
offers unequaled advantages to the man who
seeks advancement in the practice of his
profession. especially in its more profitable
branches In this office MI. Whitney found
free scope for the ambitions which swayed
him, not the least among which was the de-
sire for great wealth. His marriage to the
daughter of one OF the richest men in Ohio
aided him greatly in the accomplishment of
this desire, and with the financial prestige
which this alliance gave him be has since
acquired fortune which now amounts to
many millions of dollars

TO the room of the late Daniel
Manning to confer with him as to
the best means of defeating the nomi-
nation of Roswell P. Flower, the guberna-
torial candidate of Tammany Hall. As he
entered Mr.. Manning's room he saw gen.
tleman seated near the door. Passing him
with a bow he went up to Mr.. Manning,
and after informing him that imperative
necessity called him home, he outlined the
situation as it seemed to him, and concluded
by advising Mr. Manning to unite with the
County Democracy of New York in defeat
ing Flower by nominating that man Cleve-
land from Buffalo"
MIR. Whitney Introduced to the Governor.
Mr.. Whitney left Utica at once, but
Manning took his advice, and Cleveland
was nominated and elected. When Cleve-
land was inaugurated Governor Mr.. Whit
nev was introduced to him, and di iscovered
much to his surprise that the man who had
been sitting in Manning's room when he
announced his desire for the nomination of
Cleveland, then comparatively unknown,
was Cleveland himself. Thus began a
friendship that has had a most potential
bearing on the political history of the last
ten years
William G. Whitney and David B. Hill
are the most conspicuous disciples of the
late Samuel j. Tilden now in public life
Both were highly esteemed by that m aster
of astuteness and subtleness, and both have
made splendid use of the training which he
gave them. Whitney, who is now little
past so, was bred among the hills of Mas
sachusetts, and came to New York from
Yale College. Aristocratic in his tastes
and surroundings, polished and courteous
in his bearing, patient, subtle and acute,
and with al abundance of seI-confdence,
he early achieved brilliant social and pro-

profession, and the adroit and conspicuous
part which be took in the successful revolt
against Tsmmany, led by Tilden, showed
clearly that he was man who must be
taken into account in all future combina-
tions of his party managers. It was in 1880
that Mr.. Whitney first attracted national
attention. At the Democratic National
Convention held in that year Mr.. Whitney
sought to prevent the denomination of Til
den, and the nomination instead of Henry
B. Payne, his father-in-law. He succeeded
in the first part of his enterprise, but failed
in the latter part because OF unexpected op-
position in the Ohio delegation. Still his
work on this occasion showed the clever
