sether Swarm of State Politicians.

Neac York Special 10 g-J0grD1l Oct :
Although from Republican point of
view, you may find this interestine. The
fact that President Arthur is in town has
naturally attracted a good many rural
poiltlcIans to the city. and the Republican,
headquarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
nave been crowded all dav. Chairman
Warren left for Buffalo during the after
noon, but the rooms were quite crowded
all evening. Many of the gentlemen sent
their cards up to the President and were
received by him. The number of these
cards give rise to rumor that a political
conelave was being held, but it was denied
by the Presidents friends, who said that
Ine occasion was no more than social one
Inc reports from all parts of the State
were very encouraging, and it can be said
that the Republican party IN New York
Is thoroughly harmonious in name and
spirit IN every county and district. From
every county, especially those in the
western part of the State, the word is that
there are no Stalwarts and no Half Rreods
Inc Republican press is supporting the
ticket earnestly, and it was said by old
politicians that there has seldom been
canvass IN New York in which so little
dissatisfaction was expressed. The only
trouble, 1t is said, Will be from apathy.
ana the state Committee is using every
means to get out the vote. The 200 600
adverse majority of last year is an un-

the polls, there is really conf
dent feeling that the State will he
redeemed. The fight is pre-eminentIv Am

year on the part of Republicans. The de-
termination is to try to win now. and

their difficulties, and there are loud
breathlngs of discomfort, not only i'm the
western part of the State, against the
state ticket, but in New York city, which
must be quieted before election dav.
Governor Cleveland and Dan Manning
are working like beavers for harmony IN
the ranks. Sheriff Daggett, of BROOKLYN,

has large acquaintance with State
politics, said tonight: ''The condition
OF affairs in some leading Democratic
counties is such that if there is any
spirit among Republicans our ticket will
be elected. We have an even chance,
anyway. There is no such thing as Stall
wart or HaE-breed in this canvass"
