To understand that The defeat Ut Gov Robin

Tho week ends with mn Improvement III tho
outlook Tor u brilliant Democratic victory In
the reelection Of Gov. Robinson by the old
time utf-year majority. The well informed
Democratic OF the State concede that kellys

the Republican hrenk from Cornell, under the
lead Of Geo. VIM. Curtis, the Young kepub-
lean organizations md tho EucntlR Post, will
give Robinson many more votes from that
source than Kelly will get In the entire State.

On Che other hand, Kelly, speaking q his

every instance the Republican thronEs as-

going through the rural districts. combining
their talk to State issues, but there Is none

No speakers Of national reputation have been
summoned, and 1t ~ doubtful whether there
will be- The silence maintained at Demo-
cratic headquarters has been construed by
some to mean that tho Democrats arc dis
couraged. Quite the reverse Is the truth.

In New York city the Tammany vote has
been between 10000 and 10000. Kelly Ia not
personally popular, but his word has been

figure oftenest named is 10000, and 1000 is
