THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.
Mr. Fitch, the editor OF the Democrat. the repub-
lican organ here, believes that while there has not
yet been much active movement among the repub-
licans of Monroe, they will make good report ut
the polls and will pull fairly for Cornell So far
voting for Robinson Is concerned while three or
four city republicans have declared their intention
to so, there not the slightest foundation for
the statement that there is any porceptble move
ment that way, and Mr. Fitch believes that 100
votes will more than cover the number. Mr.. L.

licans recognize the fact that while Mr.. Cornell
associations have been Objectionable he is himself
singularly free from any aint of public character.
not word has been uttered against his personal
integrity. This is very creditable to Mr.. Cornell.
and is helping him gradually into favor. 1t
is also remembered that he set his face
firmly, as Speaker of the Assembly, against
bad aud corrupt legislation. Mr.. Fitch regards
embracing as it does the most earnest democrats in
the city. He believes that. having three weeks in
which up, the usual republican vote will be
out and will be for the party candidates. II the
farmers alliance is going to take any republican
votes it must be in the western towns. and the inde
pendent republican movement inaugurated In New
York has no vitality here. Robinson Ia being hurt
by his record as the champion OF corporations. In
fact in Mr.. Ftchs opinion the republican prospects
bright, and he is certainly doing all he in his
paper to help on the cause.
To sum up the situation here, 1t appears that
there Will be some republican votes for Robinson in
the county and about or nearly many democratic
