In the count of the vote the Arthur end of it would have had some advantage--certainly no disadvantage.

Cleveland's nearly 200,000 majority had dwindled to the claim of a beggarly few hundred, and it was charged that votes which belonged to Butler, who ran as an independent labor candidate, were actually counted for Cleveland.
When it was over an old Republican friend of mine said: "Now we are even.

History will attest that we stole it once and you stole it once.
Turn about may be fair play; but, all the same, neither of us likes it." So Grover Cleveland, unheard of outside of Buffalo two years before, was to be President of the United States.

The night preceding his nomination for the governorship of New York, General Slocum seemed in the State convention sure of that nomination.

Had he received it he would have carried the State as Cleveland did, and Slocum, not Cleveland, would have been the Chief Magistrate.
