Powerful circle around Grover Cleveland in campaign
New York Oct 6 William Collins Whitney ex Secretary of Navy acts as Cleveland's personal representative in the present campaign. He advised at Utica in 1880 to nominate Cleveland and later helped secure the nomination, election, and a successful tenure as Secretary of the Navy. Whitney's influence extends through his alliances with Tilden and Hill, his business traction scheme, and his leadership at Chicago in 1884 for Cleveland's nomination.
