Fellows, VIM A Beach, Jas Hag-
gerty, and a host Of others have
been speaking almost nightly, and
their reports from meetings show
that the country Democracy was
never so enth usiastic as now. The
later work of the campaign
has been devoted to arrangements
for the polling of every Dem oorat
In every election district Of
the State and to prevent and pun
ish all attempts at repeating or
fraudulent voting, false counting of
votes and notably coercion Of en-
ployes, under law Of last winter.
The Com mittee has appointed two
poll watchers at every poll in the
State outside of New York and
Brooklyn. Their selections were
made with view TO secure the
most intelligent, jealous and cOur-
J ageous men posi- BILE for this i'm por-
tant work, and the Committee has
no fears of fraudulent voting or
false counting in any precinct In
the State, although well advised
that the attempt will be made. In
addition to the fact that the party
Is thoroughly and earnestly united
in every quarter of the State and
that all factions and leaders are
honestly intent on Hancock's cleo
ton, the local nominations are un-
usually strong and will assist very
much to get out the vote. Mr..
Perry BelmOnts canvass In Suf-
folk, Queens and Richmond; Mr..
Waldo Hutchins's in Westminster;
Mr.. Gau's In Columbia and Put
nam; Mr.. Lewis Beach's in Sulli-
van, Rockland and Orange; Mr..
Pinder's in Ulster; Mr.. Green's in
Schoharie and Mayor Nolan's in
the Albany district, all running for
Congress and all determined to
win, will bring out every Demo-
cratic vote in this section and with
New York and Kings will take the
party to Rensselaer, with at least
10000 majority. That these fig
ures can be overcome ia 10 the
minds of men well posted in the
Democratic canvass the height of
absurdity. Close calculations in the
State Committee claim the State
by 10000.
VIM. q. Scott, the mem Der of the
Democratic National Committee
from Pennsylvania, before leaving
Headquarters for home last even
ing, said: "Our advices from the
States which the Republicans con-
slider debatable are very favorable
to the choice of Hancock electors.
We have just received reports from
all these States, in reply to the re-
quest of the National Committee
for only the most reliable state
ment, throwing the balance of
probability in favor Of our oppo-
nents. The Republicans have
talked so loudly that we have
deemed it our duty to try and find
| some ground for their statements.
I'VE can find none, except the an
| dacity which makes 1t their policy
to claim everything, There is GER
tainly no responsible basis
for their pretended conf
dencs about New York, and
New Jersey is absolutely safe for
Hancock. The Workingmen in
that State, as well as other States,
have come to realize thoroughly
the shallowness of the snpres
which the Republicans had laid
for-them.
| Ex-Governor James Il. English,
of Connecticut, who is as careful
and judicious as he Is popular, has
just told me that we can rely on
not less than five thousand major
lily for the Connecticut Democracy.
Cur own advices indicate a larger
majority,
La dealing with the situation In
Virginia, the National Com mittee
recognized the Funder electoral
ticket because it was the regular
one and represented the party
which had delegates In the Cincin.
natl Convention. There is not,
however, a sciDtilla of truth in the
story industriously spread by the
Republicans that, IL elected, the
Readjusters electors would vote for
Garfield. We have Investigated
this matter thoroughly. The Re-
publicans can, under no circum-
stances, carry the State and which,
ever electoral ticket is chosen the
full electoral vote of Virginia will
he cast for Hancock and English.
On this head / have the most abso-
lutte assurance from a Representa-.
tive of Gen. Malone, who is one of
his most particular friends. Do
not consider me as discussing in
any respect the divisions of the
party in Virginia or renewing the
controversy Of regularity, which
the National Committee has set
tied. merely say that with two
Democratic tickets In the field
there is no possibility of the choice
OF any eleetor unfavorable to Han
cock and English or disposed to be
treacherous to the Democratic Ma |
tional ticket in any event.
From Indiana Mr.. English tele-
graphs to us that there is strong |
reason to hope that we may carry |
the State, and from Ohio we have
Information OF a strong reaction
having get in, especially among
the working classes.
We are fully aware that the Re- |
publicans are making strenuous ef-
forts to capture Florida by coloniz-
alton, intimidation and bri bery,
hut their efforts Will be unavailing.
The Democratic leaders in that
State are thoroughly alive to the
situation and will not allow the |
Republicans to carry it by unfair
means. In II fair election, and par
t,cipated in only by lawful voters,
the Republicans certainly have no |
chance of success.
In California the immense dem.
onstration of last Friday night in
San Francisco is only one indica-
ton of the tide In our favor. What.
ever doubt there was about that
