THE srAlE COMMITTEES.

What Enthusiastic Democrats from the
Country Have To Say About the
Party's Chances-Is TfIdcn Gaining
..sIowly, but surely s'-The Effect or
the Withdrawal OF GroO As One OF
the Temperance Candidates.
The republican and democratic Central Com
mittees, the one at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the
other ar the Metropolitan. held open house, as
usual, yesterday. Among the visitors at the de-
mocratic headquarters were Asher P. Nichols,
formerly state Comptroller and now the
democratic candidate for Congress against
Lyman K. Bass in the Erie district.
Mr.. Nichols reported everything working to q
charm in the district in favor OF the democrats. A
gen tleman who has been canvassing Erie county
very thoroughly, who visited the committee, as
serted that the county would surely go demo-
cratic and that A. P. Lantng, who Is running
against Aberger for the Senate Ito I'LL the vacancy
occasioned BY the death Of Senator Ganson), was
almost certain OF success; that Alberger was very
strong In his own ASSEMBLY district, but weak
outside OF It, well informed politician
from Monroe county said that the county
would not give Dix within 1000 votes OF
the vote cast for MIN In 1872, when 1t gave him
3,242 majority. Much gratincation was expressed
by the members Of the committee and others
present at Mr.. Whttehouse's acceptance OF the
Congressional nomination in the Columbia district.
This nomination, they believed, secures the dis
trict for the democrats beyond Q doubt, and the
election OF the democratic Assemblymen In both
Duchess and Columbia counties, which together
form the Congressional district. The committee
say that all the reports they have received rom
the interior snow that Tlden is slowly but surely
gaining strength everywhere, and that
THE GERMAN VOTE
in every county where 1t has any very great hold
will be thrown solid against Dix. "The Germans
and the uQuOr dealers are down DiX.O said
gentleman from Erie, because he signed the civil
Damage bill, and the temperance men because he

TO stand together In order to give botn
parties good lesson by showing them that they
could not be laughed down in the iuture. Il was
said that %, 600 temperance campaign documents

The republican committeeman had nothing new to
tak about yesterday. 1If we get ali our vote out"
SURE OF HANDSOME VICTORY al
for Dixn When asked what he meant BY a
2s,ooo.n TO show Just how the probable reSnits Of Of
the campaign In the State are forecasted to SUIT
the politlcs Of the prophets themselves It may be
ready to swallow every story about the
certainty Of Tilden's success, to learn that
