CHEERING FOR CLEVELAND.
The Chances of the Reform Governor
Frightening Every Day.
Ohio, New York and West Virginia Sure to
Go Democratic.

TO U6nlOCrutlC.
New York, Sept 1S.-The writer of this
has been afforded special facilities for OBJ
tanning an insight into the present condition
of the political aspect in New York. At the
National Democratic headquarters, Acting
Chairman Senator Jones, of Louisiana, and
his numerous clerks and committeeman are
all at work and hard pressed to keepup with
the demand for docum ents, speakers, infor-
nation and calls upon this committee for
advice from every quarter OF the United
States. The chairman, ex-senator Barnum,
has just left for Ohio, after making trip to
West Virginia. These two states, voting
Oct. 1, are almost certain to go Democratic
from the adYices just received. The Demo-
Gratis of these states are thoroughly organized
and really for the coming conflict and from
the most authentic sources, everything
augurs success for the Democratic ticket
News from the various state committees
was never as encouraging, and points to
Cleveland's election by an overwhelming
majority. The disaffection among the Irish,
which did exist to some extent two weeks
ago, has disappeared, and nothing Is heard
of it at this time, other than as Mrs Parnell
said the other night: "The Irish are for the
Democratic ticket, and if they have any con-
sideration for my sons efforts in behalf Of
their countrymen-which l know they have
they will to man vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket, which represents the best inter-
ests Of working men every where"
The great eastern organization of the Re-
publican Irish-Americans, so much lauded
in the west by Republican papers, is so in
significant as not worth noticing as a
movement" The truth is, there seems to
be regular stampede to Cleveland from
every nationality.
There meyer was such bombshell thrown
into the Republican camp as the prohibition
movement in New York, particularly since
Blaine shirked voting on the Maine
constitutional amendment on Monday last.
| The Prohibitonists are determined to
make general war on Blaine and insist on
every Prohibitionist voting for st. John. II
has been estimated, after careful survey oi
the field in New York, that st. John will poll
over 40, 900 votes in this state, the greater
part Of which will be taken from the ranks
of the Republicans.
In Maine the ladies of the Christian Tenn
perance union stood in the rain most of the
day waiting for Mr.. Blaine to come and vote
and they had ticket all ready, but at 8
o'clock they all went home, it having been
reported to them that Mr.. Blaine would not
vote. AS soon as they had left, at 3:15,
just before the polls closed, Mr.. Blaine
walked down with his son and some friends,
spoke to no one, voted the Republican
ticket, but passed by the other box which
contained the special vote on the
amendment and returned TO hi:
home, while the news spread like
wildire: ''Blaine has shirked-he was
afraid to vote.' This, Of course, in Maine
has greatly stirred up the Prohibition people
and they pror-ise 10 sBmefher this little
''policy act'' Of Little Rock Mulligan Blaine
But this does not conclude the chapter
There is another ghost that will not dowI
even at the nod Of the Plumed Knight o.
his friends. These are the fellows called by
Gov. Hamilton, OF Illinois, and his stripe
Dudes" ''The dudes must co." say these
character is heard here. The Independent
Republicans are now organized all over tn
east and have thousands of voters in Ney
York state alone. These lists of Indepen
dent votes are signed personally by the vote
and a look over them would positively sur
prise the most radical Republican. TIL
great mass OF these voters are tn
young men Of the eastern states. There is
a general desertion Of the Republican rank
by the young men, and no one can tell tn
number of this class of voters who in Nc
vember will walk TO the polls and vote fo
Cleveland and Hendricks, Verify, it look
in New York as though a political cyclon
was to sweep away the last yestige Of til
Republican party.
Another significant feature Is that the Re
publieans have but little to say about Vel
mont and Maine. They expected that Blain,
could carry his own state by 25, 900 majority
but as he has done no better than the Reput
lican ticket has done for years it does nc
speak well for the personal magnetism G
James G. Blaine. Thousands Of dollars wer
spent by the Republicans in their effort t
give Blaine a big boost in his own stat
and speakers were kept in tha
state constantly for weeks, Will
the Democrats did not spend an
money, because they had none to spend
sent no speakers and did not organize. S
we have the astonishing result Of gres
campaign in state giving average Republ
can majorities of over 20, 600, together wit
Blaine's magnetism" and what is the II
suits A majority Of 19, 600 or 10000. Th,
significant fact is the vote Of Lewiston an
, Biddeford, where the Republicans pushed th
tariff to the front, both went Democratic an
elected Democratic members of the legisla
ture.
With regard TO the campaign in New Yorl
chairman VIM. E Smith and his associate
, are doing 4 vast amount Of hard wori
Every election district in New York is bein
, personally looked after, and the demand 70
documents is greater than can be flied, a

looking over the lists just received, ther
was one with signature OF 100 Young me-
IN one district, who will cast their first vot

and three Prohibition. This was nothin
