Haw Tammany 'a Leader Worked Hla Little Scheme, N«w YORK, March 12 Richard Croker, backed by the immense power of Tammany, has sent the two New York Senators on their knees to Cleveland, something after the nature of two very bad boys who have done wrong and are very sorry for it. Tammany leaders tell me the visit of Senators Murphy and Hill to Cleveland was the price these gentlemen paid for Mr. Croker's future friendship. To him alone is due the visit of these two distin guished Senators. From one who is very near to Mr. Croker I learned to-day just how the ▼isifc was brought about and also some inside history of the Chicago Con vention. Mr. Croker is the best leader Tammany has ever had, and he is one of that class of politicians who believe tho best results are not obtained by fighting in the party. When Cleveland was nominated Mr. Croker accepted the outcome of the convention at once. Not so Murphy Hill and Sheenan. They were very angry, and when the result of the convention was announced at once began to form plans to knife the ticket. They sought Croker and unfolded their intentions. Croker listened silently as is his wont, but> made them no reply. This chilled them. They couldn't understand it. Shortly after he saw Mr. Whitney and Mr. Croker told them he was ready to be on friendly terms with Cleveland. Whitney was delighted and assured Croker that Cleveland would be more than pleased for the friendship. When the three State leaders talked treachery to Mr. Croker he told them plainly ho would have none of it. They urged and argued, but it was all to no avail. Then, after the return home I am told, he was th* first one to agree to tlvg Victoria Hotel j n f aC (; i ie made 'Juat conference possible. Cleveland elected, the State leaders were ready to rush to demand of him the price of the big majority. Again they were called off by Croker's author iced interview that Tammany could not ask Mr. Cleveland tor office. BHOWEI* HIS snaEWDNESS. An "in he showed his shrewdness by providing for a big Tammany demonstration at the inauguration. As is known, all the big leaders went to Washington. Croker urged that a demonstration of harmony should be made and that the country should be given an actual sight of the New York Democray's loyalty to the President. He insisted that they should call upon and pay their respects to Mr. Cleveland as soon as they arrived. Everybody agreed to this except Murphy. Murphy pleaded that it would be humiliating to him to do so. Mr. Croker told Senator Murphy plainly that he owed something to him ; that be had made his election possible and it would be eery poor politics to cause comment by remaining away from Mr. Cleveland. Murphy persisted in demurring until Croker got angry. Then he yielded and said b« would go. Everybody visited Cleveland but Henator Hill. Croker again asserted himself, and before he left Washing ton he had it arranged that Hill should also call. I was told that it was only after the strongest threat of having nothing to do with him in the future that Hill yielded. Having filed this Mr. Croker went on his trip through the South and West. This is the reason, therefore, that DOt much significance can be attached to the visit of Hill to the White House. The only significance attached to it is that Mr. Croker ordered in plain language Mr. Hill to call on Mr Cleveland. Mr. Cleve land received him kindly. Mr. Croker will get his share of the offices in New York city, and Mr. Hills friends in the State will have to take their chances in a general fboflt, NTEELTON CORRESPONDENCE. STIELTON, PA., 'March 13, 1893. The flour mill is turning'ont from four to six hundred barrels of flour daily. The Steel ton National Bank now occupy their new quarters in the Kelker block on Front street. The Pennsylvania Steel Company are turning; out amount of steel and everything is running smoothly. The shirt factories are so much crowded with orders that it became necessary for them to call in their drummers. Our town is now lighted by the Steelton' Electric Light Company which give much better satisfaction than the light furnished by the Harrisburg company laßt year. The East Harrisburg Electrie Bail way Company arc preparing to lay a double track and the Citizens Com pany* expect to have their road com pleted~byjthe middle of the summer. Some of our people on the west side were considerably alarmed on Saturday'night on account of high water but before Sunday morning their fears ceased, as the water began to recede and all were happy. Burglars entered the postoffice on Thursday night and endeavored to blow open the safe but their attempt proved unsuccessful, three or four dollars that was in the money drawer was taken and nothing else dis turbed. Now to close this letter will just say that Mr. Cleveland's cabinet ware does not match as it is com posed of so many different kinds of material such as old time Bepubli cans old time rebel brigadiers old time copperheads and other secces sion Democrats one ton in all.
