A TAMMANY MAN'S OPINION
IT IS THAT HII.L. CAN CARRY
NKW YORK.
Per Contra, Cleveland Cannot
I Knch State MuhI Know Who Ita
Best Nan la What Editor Me-
dure Thinks).
Atlanta March 14. Thos. F. Gilroy.l
commissioner of public works, of the city
of New York, and one of Tammany's
"big four" was asked today as to his
upinion concerning the statement of Col.
A. K. McClure that. Hill cannot carry
New York if nominated.
"I have just seen it in the Associated
Press dispatches and my comment is that
Col. McClure is a poor judge of New
York politics. He lives in a city which
has been steadily increasing its republi
can majority. The state, of whose poli
tics he apparently knows so much, has
been constantly increasing in democratic
strength. The democratic nominee, who
ever it mav be, with the possible excep
tion of Cleveland, will carry New York.
While we could, of course, support him
if nominated, 1 don't think Cleveland
could possibly overcome the grentdissat
islaction in party ranks against him,
and 1 am sure the partv cannot afford to
take the risk his nomination would en
tail. "Hill can carry New York and so can
others. The mugwump kicking in New
York is nothing more than the same
protests that we have had to fight hall
a dozen times. Unanimously signed pe
titions Ibrtlie May "kicker'sconvention"
are nothing more than competition mug
wump lists abundantly augmented by
republican signatures. Two thirds of
the New York Cooper institute audience
were republicans as are the lists now be
ing signed throughout the state uguinst
the action olthi rcgularconvetilion."
"All this is made to appear very exten
sive to the country at large, but the
democrats of New York understand it.
We have had to contend against audi
shrewd manipulations of the republicans
too many times to be seriously disturbed
about it now. 1 should say that the
partv ought to at least listen to the voice
ol doubtful states in the matter. The
party must carry New York to win. Its
organizations in that should be credited
with some judgment in the matter of car
rying the state. So with Connecticut,
New Jersey and Indiana. These are
states that must be carried, and they
ought to know best which manisstrong
est for them.
"As fur as Tammany is concerned it is
for democratic success alone, above any
one, as democrats should be."
The McClure interview referred to
above is, iu part, as follows:
"No man of average intelligence, who
dispassionately views the political situa
tion in the north, can hope for a single
northern state voting for Hill, if nomi
nated at Chicago, and the largest ma
jority against him in uny state would
be in New York.
"This fact will be very clearly present
ed and understood at Chicago, and the
nomination ot Hill will not be seriously
thought of when the convention meets.
The only possible achievement of the
Hill movement is the deleat of Cleveland;
but it is by no means certain that the
positive choice of two thirds of the peo
ple, who will elect a democratic presi
dent it one shall be elected this year, can
be overruled by a reckless machine raid
of pot-politicians on the presidency."
HII.L, EN ROUTE
He Speaks at Roanoke on Ills
Way Soutb.
Koanokk, Va., March H. The train
bearing Senator Hill and partv enroute
to the south was met 25 miles distant
from Koauoke by a delegation from
that city who boarded the train early
this morning to greet the distinguished
New Yorker and invite him to address
their citizens during his ten minutes
stop at the station.
When the city was reached several
thousand people had assembled and a
hand played airs ol welcome. Senator
Hill's ten minute speech was devoted
largely to the presentation of democratic
principles ana u review ol the good work
of the democratic party in the state of
New York, He was warmly cheered at
frequent intervals.
Senatoi.Ilill does not make his south
ern trip in a private car, as he prefers to
travel, as he expresses it, like any other
ordinary democrat," and tenders of pri
vate cars by railroad companies have all
been courteously declined. The people
of Bristol, Knoxvillc, Chattanooga and
Birmingham are prepared to give their
northern visitor an ovation as his tram
passes through.

SHERIFF REYNOLDS FIST.
Some of the Peddlers Have Been
I' ln B II without Authority.
Sheriff Reynolds has discovered a slick
scheme which is nothing short of forgery.
Everybody in Asheville knows that in
the city are dozens of Italian peddlers,
who go from house to house selling
"Cheap John" articles. The headquar
ters of the peddlers, among whom are
several women, are in Asheville, and
some of them travel through the county,
seeking whom they mav take in.
To do this peddling requires a license
from the sheriff. Some of these peddlers,
or others for them, hit upon the plan ol
forging Sheriff Reynolds' name to a li
cense receipt. If any question was
raised they would present the receipt,
and as the everybody in the county is
not supposed to know the sheriff's chi
rographv, the peddler would be allowed
to go his wav.
On Saturday two of the peddlers were
arrested near Biltmore. Their receipts
were found to be forged, and the men
were brought to the city. Wheu plied
with questions as to the forgery they
professed to be utterly ignorant of the
English language, and nothing could be
gotten from them. The men left their
packs with the sheriff and are supposed
to have skipped.
The lorgeries are very crude, and the
sheriff wants everybody to lookout for
these peddlers' licenses that have not his
own tine Spencerian hand,
EXPELLED AN EDITOR.
litiijamiii Johnson convicted of
Polillcul Heresy.
Richmond, Iud., March 11. Ucnja
min Johnson, editor of the Item, one of
the most influential republican daily
newspapers in Indiana, was yesterday
convicted of political heresy by the re
publican editorial association ot Indi
ana, of which he is secretary.
The association has requested him to
resign, which be refuses to do. The spe
cific charges preferred aeainst Mr. John
son were that be is an enemy of the pro
tective tariff policy of the party, and
that he is an ardent supporter of tariff
reform. He did not deny the charges,
but claimed that as the republican editor
of a republican paper he was privileged
to arraign the present tariff policy of his
party if he thought proper. New York

In Wales.
London, March 14. Flintshire, in

members of the association. The latest
estimates of the number of miners who
ae now idle place the figure at 350,000.
Owing to the closing down of other in

running about thirty milet an hour, and
just as it was crossing the trestle over

falling on the track, threw two loaded

two loaded cars were mashed into flin
ders. The front end of the baggage car
was damaged, mere were seventeen

that be had embezzled funds amounting
to about $18,000, this being mainly
money belonging to orphans. This
statement was used in the trial of the
suits against Unchurch. Though Up

hat been made to bring him back to

Miss Sallie Cullom, of Weldon, nar
rowly escaped a horrible death at the
residence of her uncle, Mr. J. R. Cullom.
She was standing with her back to the

screams brought her uncle, who succeed

There are three avowed candidates

are three aspirants: Holt, Sanderlin, and
Julian S. Carr, as it is now stated that
a. B. Alexander will not be a candidate.
It leaks out that the negro represen
tative Chatam has put hit Washington
negro friends in office instead of recom
mending his North Carolina constitu

was heard to tay that he would vote for

other vote for Cheatham.
It is said that the farmers's alliance
