2 KEW YORK'S DEMOCRACY. EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE CALM AND SERENE. Benry George's Candidacy for the Mayoralty of Gotham the Factor that Brought Out the Olive Branch Still Displayed -The Rivalry Between Col. Fellows and Bourke Cockran. New York, Oct. I.—The State Demo cratic Convention is remarkable a* being the only one held in ten years in which the Democracy of Nw york City were not en deavoring to scalp each other instead of try ing to aid the party. Thev were brought into harmony by the (or of circumstances last fall. The George party had sprung into existence in a night, and threatened to overwhelm both Tammany and the County Democrary. Had these fac tions been divided the vote showed that George would certainly have been elected Mayor of this city Tammany, which apparel at the National Democratic Convention of 1680, after de feating the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor. and wiiich defeated the Democratic candidate for President that year by sulk ing in its tents, was the firet to offer the olive branch. It nominated Abram S. Hewitt for Mayor, despite the fact that he was a chieftain of the County Democracy, and that he had dealt Tammany some of its hardest blows. His nomination was made by Richard Croker. the Tammany leader, who had proved himself a warm personal friend to Hewitt years before when Hewitt n<**sled political friends Hewitt had returned his Kindness by securing Croker a place among the Eire Commissioners. Croker felt justi fied in again befriending Hewitt as no ticiau in New York was ever before befriended. Hewitt needed political friends jii't then. He liad fallen out with the ad ministration and Croker's medicine recu perared him The County Democracy, under the guidance of a man fully as big brained a> Croker, promptly accepted the o.ive branch. Hewitt ire-ame thei-anilulate of a united city Democracy forthe first time in a quarter of a century and wa-trium phantly elected. Whether he lias given satisfaction to either wing of the party or not. the union of isc h w ings holds good. The leaders se * that in liarmonv only is there strength. For a vear |st there has leen no quarrel among them cone -rnihg either the municipal or the Federal patronage. Tammany, whose fidel ity to the organization in i HH 4 elected a Democratic President. whose nomination it bitteriv oppose 1. evidently appreciates with p '-T7it’* , .i r, e shaiqienod by a sense of ingrati tude at Albany, and placidly allows the friends oft. administration to secure an advantage w*ich gives them the control of the d-legation to the national convention next year. * Probably one of the most remarkable scenes in the convention was the appearance of th<> Hon. William Bourke Cockran and Col. John R. Fellows in the role of the Siamese twins. Both men are great orators, and they have always been heretofore pitted against each other in the State conventions. Fellows is Ciceronian in eloquence, while Cockran is Demosthenic. Fellows won his spurs in New York as an orator many years ago. Cockran sprang into the arena much la'er. I well remember his first appearance on the oratorical stuge. It was as a contesting delegate on lx - halt of Irving Ho II before the State Committee in the D davau House. Al bany. ai>out six years ago Dan Maiming was chairman of the committee, and one of its members was William C. Whitney. Cockran stood before them a man whose strength was entirely unknown. He is a massive-faced, broad shouldered, big-boned man, fully six feet tail. He has a powerfal vet musical voice, and impresses every bearer with his intense earnestness. His gestures and I-earing at that time were awk ward and unstudied. To-day they are as graceful as were the bearing and gestures of Edward Everett. He then stood before the committee, long haired and erect, confident—yet unassuming. As he wanr/’l to his work lie threw Ins chest out until his form resembled that of Fighting Joe Hooker. Then he closed bis ey*-s. gave full play to his imagination and power of logic, and the words poured from his month like mo intellectual gold. Facts, figures, antecedents, ail were n r his com mand. without relerence to notes. Each was driven into place by his powerful right arm without the unclosing of his eye. The speech was sprinkled with sarcasm doubly distilled. It was so severe in a reference to Mr. Whitney that Dan Manning was about to interrupt the speaker when Whitney himself, evidently cliarmed by the orator's constructive power of thought and facility of expression, besought Mr. Manning not to interfere. It was perha|*s the greatest speech ever made before the State- Com mittee, and possibly much of the considera tion given to Irving Hall for years after ward was due to Cockran’s eloquence on this occasion. Col. Follows has not the magnificent presence of Cockran. The latter is built more like Webster, while the former naturally recalls Stephen A. Douglas. His masterly power of speech was shown in the last two Democratic National conventions. In Cincinnati, John Kelly, who had bolted the Democratic Slate ticket the year before, contested the seats of the County Democ racy. Old Dick Hubbard, of Texas, now Minister to Japan, got the platform unex pectedly and opened up a big boom for har mony. His i lea of harmony was to give Kelly half the delegation. Dick is built aometiling like a Durham bull. He lias compactness of body and of expression and a mighty dignity of oratorv. He roared to some purpiese, and the /aces of the County Democracy began to blanche as their owners heard the wave of applause re sponsive to Dick’s eloquence. Fellows sat among them with arms folded, legs crossed, and his curly head at least a foot lower than the heads of the delegates near him. Hub bard hail undoubtedly captured the conven tion when he closed.’ As Fellows took the platform the silence was so profound that if a thistledown had blown in you could have heard it roll over the floor of the hall. The Colonel began by saying that he had belonged to the Democracy from the day of liis birth, and that he had seen many strange signs and porteuts in the political sky in Ins day, but this was the first time in his life that he had ever seen a Democratic State delegation presenting the corpse of a Demo cratic candidate for Governor or its creden tials for admission to a Democratic National convention. In the clearest Anglo-Saxon, and with the keenest irony, he held “John Kelly's treason" to light,’ and depicted its results. It was done so artfully and quietly that the most rambunctious. Southerners were deeply convinced of Hubliard's mis take ; that it was by the skin of its teeth that Tammany was given even the courtesy >! a seat in the hall. If Cockran had been known to fame at that time and had ap peared on behalf of Tammany Hall, pos sibly the result might have been different. It was in 1884 that these redoubtable in tellectual champions had ha-1 their greatest fight. It occurred in the National Conven tion at Chicago. Kelly was fighting against the nomination of Cleveland tooth and toe nail, and Cockran was Tammany's cham pion. Fellows upheld the honor of the county Democracy. He was sorely lx*set, first by Grady, next by Kelly, ami finally bv Cockran. ’Grady went down before him like a common soldier, Kelly died as Brian De Bois Gilbert died, but Cockran was like old Zarli Taylor—he never knew when he was whipped, but like a true Irishman fought to the last, when all hope was gone and there was not even the breath of life in his body. His delegation was tied hand and fool by the unit rule, and Vilas, Chuirman of Ihe convention, would not give him the shadow of fair play, even refusing to enter the protest of Tammany on the record. It was a groat victory for Fellows, however. Independent of the advantage of |smtio’i. His enemies hung charmed on hls words and joined in the cheers wuen he shook himself from liis feet aud fell from the chair on which he was standing by the physical in tensity of his eloquence. The iiateiet. however, was buried last fall and is not vet unearthed. How so--n the force of circumstances may bring it to light time alone can determine. < hie thing, however, is c -i tain, if the scalping knife >s again drawn bv these two men it will 1c- a fight worth seeing. Cockran is young, and, like a goo-1 wine, improves with age. Fel lows long eg-* j-assed the half mile poet of life, and unlevs he has the mental and physical stamina of Gladstone, is liable to go down in the encounter. Amos J. Ccm hi nos. No more remarkable and cosmopolitan tvpev ->f the g-nus man can Is* found in the w,-rid than stamp tile corridors of the New York hotels An observing man can lose himself m a labyrinth of mysterious cogita tions in ten minutes, if lie tries to guess the identity and purpose, of even 10; -*-r cent, of the rae.i who regularly frequent 11:■ * js-nular portions of the big New York hotels. There 1 is a vast difference bet ween the man who is constantly seen about the cot fidma and the inari who lives regularly and doiuesti -ally at the hotel. The latter wuies up town ! from business, hurries to hi- room, end Is invisible a Rot the house again until break fast tlie next morning, except in very rure instances. Of course there are hotel her mits, but three men are exceptions. Asa rule the regular guests are strangers to the office ami the public part of the house. The hotel hermit is a distinct creation. I have one in view now He has lived for sixteen years at one of the most prominent of the Broadway hotels, and in that tune it is doubtful if he has been away from the house more than ten consecutive hours H is a heavy jawed, red-faced creature, with sluggish eyes, ponderous belly and lazy movements He rises about 10 o'clo k, sjionds half an hour over his t-oote. another half hour with the barlx-r, and then talks to the hall bovs, telegraph clerks, bar tenders ami otfier employee of the bouse who will take the trouble to listen to him. After this he poses for a half hour on a [-ar ticular flagstone, with his shoulder - against a certsv-t [x-rtion of the portico. If any body bap[x>ns to be standing in that place he waits [-atiently until he has a chance to taka up his favorite [xisition. He has a particular chair by a certain win dow in the dining rmim. and here he breakfasts slowly for an hour or more. After that he resumes his position in front of the house, or if it is raining takes up a 1-01111111 fixed spare on a particular bench in the corridor. His life is the acme of monot ony; he naturally has few friends, for lie never ventures out in the world, and his life and talk are tiresome to contemplate and hear. It is impossible even to get him to attend the theatre. He undoubtedly d-x-s precisely as lie wishes to do. and the whole world is willing that he should devote him ■elf to his fascinating pursuit of hotel im molation. The men who continually chal lenge conjecture are the well-dressed, gen tlemanly-appearing and polisho 1 men of the world who have* their mail addressed to the principal hostel lies, who make all their appointments there, and who occasionally dine in the hotel restaurants, but who never actually live in the house. No mail knows where they do live either, for their g-lings ami comings are as mys terious as the much disowned chances of a good yachting breeze the day liotore a race. Some of these men of the world are pro jectors of railroads; others own more or less pretentious patent rights, and some are adventurers pure and simple who trade ujx>n the lesser intelligence of their fellows. Not infrequently the great wheel of fortune tlvows one or the other to the top. and the schemer and manipulate >r of yesterday is the millionaire of to-day. The majority of the men are by no means to tx confounded with swindlers cheats. They are men of large mental culture, sturdy fighters against ill-fortune and staunch and true friends to those who have 1-efriended them. They realize fully what the whirligig of New York life is, and they stand by with no capital but th -ir brains, and wait for their chanee to elut-ha fortune. Occasion ally they are victim.-, to their own faith in the schemes they father. I know of one man who brought an electric motor from England, and sank over #50,000 of his own money in it, He built a machine shop ami put the motor in it, hired liveried attend ants and ran the whole thing on a plan of exalted expense and impressive ness. He lived in a capital suite of rooms in the Hoffman House, entertained gorgeously and succeeded in interesting a great many men of sound financial standing ill his project. In the end. however, it all fell to the ground, despite the most expert manipulation, and ail Ixicause there was a screw loose in the machine, and the man who was promoting it was too honest to do any dirty work. He is a ]iauper now, ami the machine has been sold for junk, but he is as blithe and cultured an ornament of the New York hotel corridors as though he had established his scheme on a $5.00U,000 basis and “realized' 1 on a controlling portion of the stock.

OCTOBER 2. 1887. III'FF SMELLSA BIG RAT. BROWN'S BETTERMENTS LETTER PUTS HIM ON THE SCENT. He Thinks the Letter Appeared Sus piciously Soon After Gov. Gordon’s Message on the State Road Question —The House Thrown Into Confusion and the Debate Adjourned. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. I.—ln the House to day Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, offered a resolution to reinstate the special order of the day. which was to resume the considera tion of the resolution providing for the sale i or lease of the Western and Atlantic rail road. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Huff then took the floor and opened his argument. He said that this resolution reported favorably by the committee should be considered as a plain business propo sition. Hls fight on this question was because it was brought up three years before there is any necessity for the Legislature to give the matter considera tion. The next Legislature should have the consideration of this question. He referred to Senator Brown's letter, and stated that the Governor of the State ha-1 never re ferred to it. The committee's report shows itself that it does not attach any importance to the resolution. It says it may accept or refuse any bid offered for the sale or lease. It leaves the matter to the next Legislature just where he proposes to leave it. REMARKABLE PROMPTNESS. The following day niter the executive called the attention of the Legislature to the approaching expiration of tie- lease comes S- iator Bro /n's letter in which he says: "Having seen your message." Here, the very day after the message was read, the House is flooded with Senator Brown's letter all printed, all corrected and fixed up in complete style. This extraordinary piece of promptness was never before heard of in Georgia. He doubted if any publish ing house could have gotten out such a complete piece of work in such a short time. In one night Senator Brown wrote his letter, hud it printed, the proof corrected and the pamphlet pub lished in shape for putting before The members in their seats. It l<x>ked to him very much as if an explana tion should be made for the rapidity with which the Brown letter came out. There was something, to say the least, funny alxait this whole thing. It appeari-d in the discussion that there were two committee reports. Mr. Huff called for the reading of both of them. Mr. HaiTell, of Webster, protested and said that this should not lie done The action of a committee in its committee room should not be made the property of the House. THROWN INTO CONFCSION. Mr. Huff said that there was an evident desire upon the part of some members of , the House to put him in a false position 11“ did not propose that this should I<e done. If the action of the committee was to lx? made public he wanted everything brought out or nothing at ail. Mr Harrell, of Webster, and Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, attempted to get the attention of the Mpeakur. The former, after making repeated efforts finally gave in, while the latter continued to hold the floor. A dozen members then made efforts to be heard. Questions of pereonal explanations, ques tions of privilege, points of order and mo tions to adjourn, were addressed to the Speaker. Pending this wrangle Mr. Smith, of Crawford, got in a motion to adjourn, which was adopted. Mr. Huff, having the floor, will continue hls argument when the consideration of the measure is again resumed. GOV. BROWN’S ARGUMENT. He Denies the Governor's Right to Forfeit His Leases. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. I.—There was only one session of the Governor’s Court to-day. Senator Brown finished his argument, which was entered upon yesterday afternoon. He took the jiosition that live executives preced ing Gov. Gordon had confirmed the system of amps and distribution of convicts among the leesses. and that the Legislature had legalized the custom by passing laws with provisions relating to convict camps, when there were twelve or fifteen camps in the State. lie made the further argument, ami raised the point that the guards are appointees and agents of the State. These the losses could not legally remove and could not control in the whipping of convicts. He held that it would monstrous for the State to punish the lessees and for feit their leases because of the acts of the State's agents. The Senator contended that the Governor had no right to forfeit the Dade Coal Company’s interest in companies No. J or No. 3 for tfie conduct of Bingham, over whom they had no control. He charged that the persons agitating this question have proposed no change of sys tem. They want a new deal anu the new railroads want convicts. B. H. Hill followed as counsel for C’apt. James, and occupied the time mainly in arraigning the testimony of Dr. Houck. Pending his argument the court adjourned to afternoon, but the afternoon session was abandoned. The arguments will probably be concluded Tuesday. STATE CAPITAL SIFTINGS. Several Bills Made Laws by the Governor’s Signature. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. I.—The Governor approved the following acts to-day: To authorize the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah to require the grading, jxiving, macadamizing or otherwise improving for travel or drainage the streets or lams of the city, and to make and collect assessments for the same.

The Umpire’s Assault on Powell of a Most Brutal Character. Charleston, S. C., Oct. !. —Greatly to the surprise of everybody the New Orleans team did not appear on the ground to-day. An investigation deveh ped the fact that they had jiaid their hotel bill after midnight Friday, requesting the hotel proprietor to keep the matter secret, and left for home at 4 o'clock this morning. Powell, who was tieaten by the umpire, is badly used up. The assault appears to have been brutal. Public sentiment here upholds the umpire to the extent of resenting Powell’s abuse, but it now ap]x?ars that be not only knocked him down, but kicked him while on the ground. The umpire of Friday's game was no better tuan other home umpires and probably no worse, and the andtenre wa-thoroughly - dis gusted with the game. The club direc tors are doing ail in their power to remedy the evil, but good umpiis-s are scares - here. Responsible and well known citizens whose sense of jus tice could be reins! on will not serve, be cause of their liability to ie. cursed and abused by plavers without [power to protect theicsolvea. An eff - t will be maple, how evei, to secure a god umpire for the bal ance of the season. Games E.sewhere.
