to mako it appear that John Kelly and
Ben Butler will not work for Cleve

not yet announced, though it is beliey

What does an exclusively porsonnl
contest import 1 Tho opening ot the
floodgates of scandal, tho raking of
cesspools for electioneering matter and
:i canvass which in its material should
lio confined to tho J'olice Gazette. Mr.
Blaino'a republican opponent are not
shut up to any such necessity. They
oppose him from their want of confi
dence in him, considering his whole
career as a federal renresehtativo and
senator; on account of his demagogio
looseness of viows on tho question of
coin; because ho abused his senatorial
privileges to attack Massachusetts! in
tho position of secretary of state, so
comitled tho geueral government that
tho utmost skill of his successor was
tequired to preserve tho good name of
tho repubblio and Bfttlo tho difficulties
Mr. Blaine's lash measures produced:
becauso of the unworthy elements
gravitating to his support, and from
tho fear that his election would prove a
sotback to civil service reform. These
nro sufficient grounds ou which to op
1080 Mr. lilalno mid dispense with the
need of engaging in microscopic dis
sections of tho two principal condi-dates.

Asido nltoirether from tho oxnllod
character of tho candidates it has nro

afford the best assurance that in this
light tho demootnts throughout
the Union will bn united and in

n Iho work of reform, they must ro-
coivo from all good citizens, of what
ever previous political leanings, thoy

in 1870, they conquered tinder tho "old

licans themselves now concede to bo
lnubtfttl with a strong probability of
gaining such states, ns Wisconsin nnd
thoso of tho l'miUto coast. 1 ho pros

SOl.tll roil THE. DK.MOIJIIATIO 1
T10KKT.
Tho first mooting of any organiza
tion in connection with Tammany Hall
for tho purpose of ratifying tho Chioa-
go nominations was held iUoiidny
night in iNew lork city by tho totir
tccnth assembly district (Hegister
O'Hoilly's). Thero was n largo nttond-
atico of members. .Deputy Coroner
Messcmc-r occupied the chair. Mr.
O'Koilly oxplaluod tho object of tho
meeting, and said that it had been call
ed mainly to show that there was no
truth iu tho prevailing opinion that
had been industriously circulated by
somo newspapers that were inimical to
tho organization, that Tammany Hall
would not support tho tickot nomina
ted at Chicago. A motion was mado,
to adopt resolutions supporting tho
nomination of tho Chicago Democratio
candidates and pledging' tho associa
tion to a determined and cnthtisinstia
canvass m bchalt of-tho candidates.
Tho resolutions concluded as follows j
"Jiesolved, That wo denounce as
traitors and unfit Sot association with
honest Democrats any person, wlio
pretends toi bo stioh and ,who faild to
give to his party aud the Dotnocrqld
nominees a gonerous support."
The Poets about Cleveland's Vetoes
The. grounds upon which it is sought
to create prejudieo against Governor
Cleveland are his vetoes of. tho fiye
oont fare bill, the mechanics! Hen bill
arid tho bill regulating the hours o la
bor of drivers and, conductors of horse
re.
The bill fixing tho faro on tho olova-
ted railways at five cents abrogated a
right vested in tho corporation by a
previous legislature. Jn that not tho
regulation of fares was .distinctly sur-
reuuerea uy uie oiutu uuui me uei
earnings should reach a given' sum. In
spite of this ngrcomcnt in tho contract
tno .Legislature ot lass passed n bill
making a uniform rate of fare of five
cents. The Governor vetoed it on
tho ground that tho Legislature could
not abrogate a vested right. There'
was not the slightest doubt that the
courts of tho Slate would have taken
tho same view.
That the proposed reductions were
only of tho slightest interest to work
ingincu is shown by tho fact that tho
rato had long been fivo cents from 5.80
to 8.30 a. m., and from 4.30 to 7.30 p.
m. The reduction of fares at other
hours in tho day was a manifest advan
tage to bankers, brokers, business men
and amusement seekers, but not of the
smallest interest to laboring men aud
mechanics, who already had the privi
leges the vetoed bill conferred. Oppo
sition to tho veto was short-lived ana a
feeling of satisfaction followed that
one man had been found who had the
pluck and tho intelligence to opposo
such futile legislation even at tho risk
of incurring popular disapproval.
The Governor also interposed his
veto to tho mechanics' lien bill. Tho
original intention of this bill was to
give mechanics power to secure their
wages by the means ot liens. liut it
was so amended that its purposo was
either obscured or lost. It gavo par-
tics four months after performance of
work or furnishing material to file a
lieu, a period ridiculously prolonged.
It also allowed tho same costs as in
foreclosures, which in the case of small
bills would have been so onerous as to
eat them up entirely. But worst of.
all it repealed existing mechanics' lien
laws, which wore far more favorable
to tho working peoplo than the now
law. It was found o bo a scheme to
mako inorpased lawyers' bills and to
diminish tho protection afforded tho
mechanic. Tho Governor verv proper
ly accepted tho lessor evil and vetoed
tho defective bill.
Tho bill making twelve hours, a day's
work for conductors and drivers on
street cars did not in any wny prohibit
the making ot a contract requiring any
number of hours' work and, if it had,
the Governor very aptly objected that
it was an mterlereuce with tho rights
ot tho employes as won as employers
It was plain that if tlio car drivers and
conductors worked fewer hours they
would receivo less pay, and tho bill
neither did nor could prevent that,
Tho Governor concluded his objections
by saying ; ''.I unnpot think this bill
is iu tho interest of tho workingmoni"
Ono cliarga remains against Gover
nor Cleveland s vetoes. 1 ho last Leg
islaturo mado a small appropriation for
n charitable institution known as tho
Westchester Catholic Protectory. Tho
Governor struck it out and the chargo
has been mado that ho was IiobI'iIo to
tho Catholic church as such. Mr. Hen
ry Ir lloguct, president of tho Protec
tory, says ou this question :
"We "never doubted tho sincerity of
tho motive which induced Governor
Clovolnnd to withhold his signaturo to
tho appropriation to tho Protectory.
1 Wo thought then and think now that
ho wns not actuated by any feeling of
bigotry or hostility to Catholics or tho
Catholic institutions. On the Contra
ry, Governor Cloveland is liberal in tho
extreme, nnd wo nru nwaro of the firm
belief that he was led to withholding
his approval of tho appropriation solely
by a sense of public duty as iio viewed
it."
Upon these facts nro based all tho
charges made against Grover Clove
land by whioh it is nought to raise oh
jt'ction to him among tho laboring aud
religious eloinouts. Timet.
About thirty delegates representing

VI the snnio onndidato Mr. Kussel

Mr. Blaino is tho loading states
man of tho ago iu this country, or in

about his aggressiveness is nonsense.
As president of tho United Stales ho
will bo caroful and conservative ; his,
very responsibility will mako him cau

and of ills election I have not tho

The Coming Revolution-

the root of ' tho whole matter, and as,
worthy ,6f careful perusal :
"All gi'oati revolutions aro born in

orable illustration of this truth. It was

and overy element of ambition and

ghng spoilsmen and ot both petty and

hnve withstood tho repented shocks of
the fierce assailing hosts. No Nation

Convontion of to-day. It w held in
annrchy for an houHn1 tho midst of a
ballot'. by the cunningly dovteed strate
gy that'snddo'nly burst a Hondrick's
hurricano on tho body, which appealed
to tho inspiring sentiment of historic
justice. Neither Grover Cleveland nor
any greater man could have withstood
such in cyclone. But tho cause that he
was made.' to represent with suoh dis
tinctness alike by friend and foe so
strongly appealed to tho intelligent
and cousiderato judgment of the body
that its, members stood like a wall ot
adamant as the tempest raged iu thu
wildest fury around them.
It was tho most thoroughly deliber
ate Convention that has met sincu the
organization of the present parties,
with tho single exception of tno .Lin
coln Convention that started tho Re
publican revolution in this' city nonrly
a quarter of a contury ago. It'wn3 iiot
wedded to urover Cleveland; it was
not for him as a man ; he had fower
personal acquaintances in tho Conven
tion than had any successful candi
date since Lincoln. Ho had no fac
tious support ouliido ot his battle with
spoilsmen in his own State; ho had no
sectional sentiment or interest to rally
under his ting.- But from East and
West, from North and South tho most
conservative and rosoluto supporters of
honest government united to nominate
him as tho htlest and best lender ot
the .revolution that public profligacy
and debauohery so imperiously in
vite., Tho battlo in tho Republican Con
vention was unsuccessfully made to
rescue tho oartv from its spoils svstem
and to elevate it to purer alms and ef
forts. The great popular leader, with
tho proclaimed methods nnd expecta

appeal to the approval ot the republl
cans, but at a fearful cost in the loss
of able and self-sacrificing men who
revere tho yet fresh traditions of Re
publican fidolity lb public integrity and
lustrous patriotism. Thoy followed
