+ The New York Democratic Cep-
traI compittee Is as busy nowadays
as the legendary bee. Many hun
dred pounds OF mail matter are
sent out every day from headqnar-
tiers in the PARK hotel. A daily
campaign circuIar is issued I'M the
shape Of a handsome pSsters = Bx-
tracts from thesstatea@ papers com :
prise its contents, and IT, is mailed
to every,hamlet insthef Empire State.
The Buffalo Courier ShowsPrtnt--
hing company has printed 30, 600
autographs of Mayor Cleveland,
and these are likewise distributed
by mail The election of the entire
State ticket, With perhaps, the tex-
ception of Slocum, Is almost assured,
Cleveland, since his letter, has re-
manned quiet. and the democrats
are all working for his election in a
highly commendable, nv 17
"A Washington special says: 2
There il a great diversity ofviews
hereson New Y ork and Pennsylvania
politics. l met a. gentleman last
evening who has studied the situa-
tion pretty carefally, and he predic-
ted that the great fight now would
be on, Pennsylyania aud Virginia,
and that New York would be allowed
to- go by default. :, ssam :, ~ =.
s"You don't mean to, tell me-"
asked, that you think the Repub-
leans have given up trying to carry
New York State?' 7s'' . SONY
,"Yes, l do" he replied. II think
they haveafulf1ydecided on this plan
To put all their money and energy
into Pennsylvania and Virginia and
to let New York go democratic as
much as she likes.'' Js44 20 ia f-e
But wouldn't that $ be o terrific
blow to the ADMINISTRATORS
Eyes, but the Administration
can't help it. The New York peo-
pie who have been in a habit of
putting UP money to carry the cleo
7tions, for. the Republicans have, l
understand, refused to furnish the
money this time, and the result is
that there is no hope"
"Why have they refused%'
Because they see that it is no use
trying to carry the State against the
tide Of popular feeling against the
ticket. They would put up the
money the same as usual if they
thought it would carry the State,
but they don't think it would, and
so they won't put up" r
But Pennsylvania
- "The Republicans believe that by
a liberal use of money they can car
~ that State, and that if they do so
it will be sort of stand Of in re,
gard to New York, and the loss of
that State won't hurt them so
much. :"
The Philadelphia Times says:
The, present house consists of 155
republicans, including 4 republi-
ran green hackers, and I republican
Malone readjusters; 1876 democrats.
and 2 Independents. The republican
margin, counting all sorts of allies,
is very narrow, even after admitting
all republican contestants, and that
whole majority is swept away by
Ohio. There will be few republi-
can gains in the South, but they
won't reach half a score in all,
while the great Northern States and
Texas must greatly increase the
democratic membership. Illinois
now has 6 democrats and 10 repub-
licans, and there must be democra-
tic gains if any, in that State. Indi-
ana has s republicans and demo-
Gratis, with the certainty Of a demo
cratic gain of from 2 to 4. Michigan.
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota and New
Hampshire have solid republican
delegations, so that no republican
gains are possible there. New
York has 20 republicans and Is
democrats, and s to 8 democratic
gains maysb be confidently expected
in that State. Pennsylvania has 10
republicans and 5 democrats, and of
the % to be chosen in November,
not less than IA will be democrats,
with q, chance for several more.
New Jersey now has 4 republicans
and 3 democrats, and any gains
must be democratic, and Massachu
sets, Michigan, Minnesota. and
Wisconsin are very likely to give
one or more democratic gains.
