under the impression that Cornels majority in
Jefferson will be about 1.4OO. will give the
politicians and independent citizens opportunity
to explain the exact situation from the particular
standpoint OF each.
VERY CONFIDENT DEMOCRATIC EX-SENATOR.
4. One OF the most sanguine democrats / have met
since left New York is Mr.. j. O. Mather in 1861
of the State Senators from New York city. Mr..
Mather has lived in Watertown for over fve years
and is understood to be entirely conversant with
the tone of political sentiment in Jefferson county.
II can tell you. and know what talking
about. said Mr.. Mather ''that at least seven hun
dred republicans will vote for Robinson in this
county. The independent self-respecting mon OF
that party, are bitterly opposed to the machine"
and want to strike it eectua blow at the present
time. They know that Robinson has made an hon
est. fearless Governor. Therefore they do not de-
sire change"
"But am told by republican politicians that this
idea of detection is ali a myth. Governor Fenton.

town. was emphatic in declarations to that effect"
"They will be the worst disappointed men you
find anywhere after election. They merely

the names Of republicans who pledged to Rob-
lnson; but there is not q town district in tho
county whore cannot name several of them"
Secretary Beach has not taken any part in this

with the Kelly bolt"
"Not bit. They believe that 1t will amount to
nothing OF course, there few who do not
understand the situation and feel frightened. Those
of us who know what is going behind the scenes
feel perfectly confident of Governor Robinso re-
election. The dragging in of national issues by re-
publican leaders to mystify the State contest will
not blind the people to their own home interests
The Presidential election will take care of itself next
year."
MORE PACIFIC DEMocRAr.
Mr. John G. O'Bren is the democratic Mayor of
Vatertown and evidently clear coo-headed politi-
cal thinker He places tho republican detection to
Robinson at the same figures those put forward
by General winslow. the republican candidate for
Senator-2O0 votes. Mayor OBrien lwho, by tho
way. is an Irishman and Catholic) fearlessly de-

the Mayor. I'VE were together in the Committee
Credentials during seven or eight hours' session.

could Judge. However the idoa that by his COARSE

"iou think, then. that there a number OF Irish
voters who will support Mr.. Kelly without proper
conception of their duties IN the coming eection2'

democratic convention again. Had he gone back
from Syracuse buried all his personal animosities
and supported Governor Robinson he would have
strengthened himself universally The country de-

in tho future But what has been done? Why,
when large majority Of the delegates in the Con-
vention did not do exactly what he wanted then ho
had himself nom mated for Governor by the seventy
two Tammany delegates and then sets to work to
defeat the regular candidate. don't imagine he
"what makes you think so2"
''I have talked good deal lately with ablc ntelli-
gent leaders OF party. They contend. and with
good deal of solid reason that even If Kelly secured
10000 votes in the State Governor Robinson will
still be elected. have heard some OF them say that
