 My Dear Friend: l read your arucie as if appeared in The New York Herald on MT. Cleveland. It was strong and to the point. You and I will be put down as Cleveland booomers bye and bye' put II our people are as senslo.e sS ua ;s them to be, they can elect him. lie is inc only man they can elect at tnis time. q conferred with the Tammany leaders ~oon after the article appeared on Aprn H. and met MT. Charles F. Murphy ana n number of other New York Democrats and they all agreed with me that the only thing to do was to nominate MT Cleveland. I am sure that New Hork State will be in line for him at the con vention, and so will the whole East and the Middle States Whether Bryan and his friends can beat him is hard to tell' Yours very truly.
 James Smith, Jr.
 The statements of ex-Senator Smith s letter confirm in authoritative terms the first announcements published in The Tsroolxlvn Eagle, that Tammany hall will he for Cleveland anu that New Jersey will vote for his nomination in the Na- tional convention.
 es ii is expressly denied by Democrats here who are competent to speak for the party organisations of New fork, ana New Jersey. that there is any machine movement, in existence or in contempla- tIon to bring about Cleveland's election. Some very broad arguments have been advanced for the Cleveland movement here to-day as a result of the Smith let ter. Politicians who profess an acquain- tance with the conditions in New Eng land. Pennsylvania ana the Middle and Southern States. pronounce ex-Senator Smiths view correct as to the Cleveland probabilities.
 Reports somewhat detailed in charac- Ter from these sections show, acNording to the politicians. thav the Cleveland pressure, from the masses which has aI- ready been recognized by ex-Senator Smith and Murphy. is having profound effect on party leaders elsewhere
 Some of the analyists go so far as to predict that opposition to MT. Cleveland s nomination will be restricted to Mary land. which will be for Senator German. Illinois, which will be for Carter Harri- son; Ohio, which will be for Tom John son; Missouri. which will be for ex-Gov- ernor Francis, and the few Western States without large representation in the convention, which Colonel Bryan may control.
 Half a dozen of the Tammany leaders now in Saratoga. said to-day that they knew of Leader Murphy's decision to de- clare for MT. Cleveland. and that he had been in conference during the summer with ex-Senator Smith and other power full Cleveland Democrats of the country, about MT. Clevelands nomination.
 These leaders would not talk for publi- cation, giving as their reason the fact that MT. Murphy has kept silent about it. From them it is learned. however that MT. Murphy is silent because he does not desire to complicate his plans for the approaching city campaign by raising presidential questions. MT. Smith when seen, acknowledged the letter.
 Leader Murphy referred the reporter to his interview in Massachusetts some months ago, when he said he had inves. tigated Olney's strength in New England and found 1t wanting. He declared New York and New Jersey had two men ir Cleveland and Parker who deserve the support of all Democrats, and would get that of their State delegations.
