Mr.. MURPHY is SINCERE.
Leader of Tammany Hall For Grover
Cleveland.

New York, Feb. 24.-The states of
New York and New Jersey, according
to politician high up in the councils
Of the democratic party, are going to
demand the nomination of Grover Cle-
veland for president at the hands Of
the st. Louis convention.
Charles Murphy, the leader of Tam
many hall, the Erie county democracy
OF New York state, ex-senator Smith,
the leader of the New Jersey democ-
racy, are all unquali6edly for Mr.. Gle
veland's nomination.
Some doubt has been expressed as to
the sincerity of Mr.. Murphy and Tam
many hall for Cleveland, many people
thinking that it was only cloak to
foster the chances Of Mayor Mcclellan
and to spring him as a compromise
candidate when the proper time arrived.
This phase Of the situation was put
fairly and squarely up TO Murphy by
one of group of gentlemen who with
him were discussing the situation, and
TO the insinuation Mr.. Murphy slowly,
deliberately and emphAtically replied !:
Gentlemen, listen TO me. If this
minute I could write the name of a
man on piece Of paper and had the
absolute assurance and guarantee that
the st. Louis convention would nomi-
nate that man, there is the name of but
one in this whole country that I would
write, and this is Grover Cleveland.
"I say this without in the least in
tending to disparage the democracy or
the strength of the other gentlemen
whose names are prominently men
toned for the nomination, but l say
this and am for Mr.. Cleveland because
he is the only man 80 far discussed
with whom we can win. With him the
democrats will carry New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Mary
land, Indiana and possibly Illinois and
some of the northwestern states. New
York and New Jersey will go for him SC
heartily that with him will go the gov
ernorship and the legislature of both
states. The democratic party is great
or than any one man or set of men, and
it owes it to the county to put forth itt
greatest champion in the approaching
! battle"
There were many men Of prominence
and influence at the "talk, men from
many states of the union, most Of whom
were in New York at the time to fine
out If possible who New York, New
Jersey and the other doubtful stateI
wanted for president. The talk of Mr.
Murphy and other leaders Of New
York's democracy left no doubt in thei
minds as to the true situation in thos
states.
A gentlemen from Alabama, one from
i Georgia one from Tennessee, anothe
from Texas, another from Massachu
setts, still others from other states
volunteered the information that tn
feeling in theta respective states we
