pubiicsn Disaff.etion.
The New York Herald ays: DIR. Miller.
~ Nebraska, who was one d the callers AZ
democratic headquarters yesterday. said
that in bis journey here from the West he
noticed an increasing sentiment in favor OF
The Democratic ticket among independent
neople. and particularly ut points in the Inc
,er,or OF the State Of New York.
Another OF the callers, Mr.. Gaen A.
Carter. OF stamford. Conn. a member OF
The Democratic Executive Committee
NJ that town, said: :" The German
voters in Stamford are all for Cleveland
excepting only three or four. The Re-
nublican disaffectiou is very heavy, and
with all the Republican talk about Irish
blaine mpn. there II no disatiection to be
found. We expect 10 carry every town.
The campaign IN Connecticut Is very earn
est and lively. The meeting at Bridgeport
last nipbt. at which Colonel Fellows and
Goycrnor Waller spoke. was the largest
nublic meeting ever held there. and the
disnIay in the procession was the finest i
ever saw in the State. see no possibility
Of Connecticut falling to 90 for Cleveland

senator Jonas, Of Louisiana, a member Of
the National Committee, said: III have
noticed a dispatch headed, 'Blaine's
Chances in louisiana in II newspaper Of
this morning, which claims that the Repub-
lean electoral ticket embraces the most
influential men OF the State, all OF whom,
except Colonel Bca;tie and Mr.. Miner,
we're Democrats a year ago. Thls
is an error. Mr.. Miner himself
claims 10 have been an old Wing and never

been Republican for years; Mr.. Morgan,

Jobn Mahoney. Of New Orleans, wa, a
member OF the last Legislature. elected as
an Independent, against the Democratic
nominee. The ticket, while respectable,
adds no strength whatever TO the Blaine
movement, and will receive no more vote.
than would be given TO any other set OF
blaine electors. The statement that in
Louisisna the Irish appear TO be nearly
all for Blaine il utterly untrue, and there
is not the least ground in the world for
claiming the State for Blaine"

Opinion, do much better than New York.

ENCOURAGING ADvICEs.
Letters TO the Democratic committees
yester day from all parts OF the country were
Of a hopeful and encouraging tendency. A
letter from Elgn, Ill.,, says: "The name oil
our club Is the German Independent Cleye-
land and Hendricks CLUB, aud our mem-
bersbip Is 900, made up largely Of voters
who were formerly Republicans. The
growth OF the Cleveland sentiment here
eurpasses anything h"y5 over reen. The
Germans are Glmost a unit for the Demo
cratic candidate"
A letter from Jersey City says: 1.-TWO
hundred young Democratic voters OF the
Second Assembly district OF Jersey City

name Of the Robert Davis Light Guards

that the Democratic candidates will b,
elected that we have decided 20 participate
IN the inaugural ceremonies Accompanying
Cleveland's occupancy Of the presidential
chair"
