roinancng about Democratic harmony are, trying
TO make it appear that Mr. Cleveland could so far
forget the past and the present and everything
else as 10 listen TO anybin. approaching bar
moniOus proposition. The fact that lie did not.
the fact that there nothing in the interview
suggestive Of that hut rather the resersc, wa, the
wells name.
No. it is war. war to the knife; and from this
not altogether one-sided. As already pointed out
in these columns. the State machine including. Of
course, Tammany Hall. has far more patronage
at its disposal than the National Administration
10 more than 5000 900. and more than half OF
this is in che classified service, while the city pay
roll is over 81 1000 900, and tn" comparison be-
tween Government and municipal contracts would
he still more favorable to the municipality. This
Is true all through the State. SO that. il Mr.
Hill can maintain his hold on the State Govern
ment. and lainmany remains where he and his
friends believe it will have TO remain. in OPPOSE
ton to the Administration. the battle brtwirn
the two forces will be n great one and no mis-
take.
on WHICH SIDE WILL KINGS COUNTY FIGHT
Tho question arises what part will Kings
County play in this contest ? II IL in opposition
to Governor Flower now. and as the machine is
behind the Governor it is. Of course. in a hostile
attitude to the Democracy Of the State Will this
opposition continue? Wc-informed politicians
believe il will. They 90 further and assert that
the decree has gone forth against Mr. Mclaughlin;
that his organization must he destroyed. some
thing that can he easily done by the Legislature
yielding to the popular clamor for the consolida:
ton Of the two cities. Lot this be done. and
Mclaughlin becomes district leader. and tn"

fully every day that he lost tho great opportunity
Of his life. as The Tribune told him at the tim"

Clcveland's fortunes in opposing Murphy. Had hc
done this instead Of selling hims" to the Stat"
machine fer a few legislative commitfc" chiirman-

and he has nothing to expect from Cleveland any
more than any other element Of the machine that
