ALL POINTING TO VICTORY
JOHN KELLY SURE OF NEW
YORK FOR CLEVELAND.

The Disruption of the Solid South
BIaine's Only HOpe-The Democrats
Confident Of Carrying New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Connecticut. New jersey and
Nevada.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Civilian Dick
son, of the Democratic Central Committee
of the District, yesterday received a letter
from John Kelly, of New York, saying
that Tammany Hall is doing its very best
to elect Cleveland and Hendricks, no
matter what may be said to the contrary
by those who may be suspicious. The
letter states:
ut IS impossible to say what may be the re-
suit here in this State. Butler will poll a
comparatively large vote. How many no
one, OF course, can determine. On the other
hand the Independents and German Repub-
licans, who have hitherto voted the Republi-
can ticket, think viii be an Offset to the
same. It is said by good judges that st. John
will poll from 5000 to 10000, about eight
tenths Of whom have hitertO voted the Re-
publican ticket. l believe we will carry New
York without any doubt in view of these
facts"
BLAINE's LAST HOPE.
Sc aretarY Post and his assistants. who are
in direct communication with the national
headquarters in New Ork. to-day expressed
themselves as feeling confident of Cleveland's
election. They declared that all their advices
from New York showed that the Republicans
were not counting upon that State, but were
lighting to elect Blaine without it. One of
the principal officials at Headquarters said :
e Ihe press dlspatcnes say that Chahee has
gone to Florida. of course he has money.
Other Republican agents have gone to Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Louisiana.
The scheme of the Republicans is
to capture Southern State, if
possible, Notwithstanding the bloody
shirt howl. They do not believe they can
elect Blaine in the North. but If one Of the
Southern States-even Florida, with four
electoral vOtes-can be carried for him it may
defeat Cleveland. Our adVices from all the
Southern States are that no matter what
amount of money the Republicans may spend
there the South Is sure for Cleveland. They
also have an eve TO Virginia. Malone has
been literally supplied with money and they
will make desperate fight for the State
Secretary Post said that in his opinion
Blaine's last hope was to break the solid
South.
DRUNNIERS TO VOTE FOR CLEVELAND.
A leading merchant of this city saId to a re-
porter to- day: The commercial drummers
all seem TO be going back to New York to vote
for Cleveland. They have been coming in my
store In numbers for some DAYS asking for or
ders, and saying they were en- route home to
vote for Cleveland. One of them who travels
a great deal IN Texas was in this morning. 1
asked why he was not in Texas. and he re-
Piled: Every man travelling for our house
has had orders from the boss to be in New
Ork by Nov. to vote. The head of the firm
wrote one of us that it was the interest of the
house and of all business men
to elect Cleveland, and he would like for us all
to be on hand and vote for him. OF course the
firms interest Is our interest and we will all
be there TO vote the Democratic ticket. He
said that the firm was to pay all the expenses
incurred by their employees in going home to
vote.
California is so far OF that very little politi-
cal news comes from there, but now and then
Senator Farley and Representatives Budd,
Sumner and Tulley have advised the Demo-
cratic managers that they expect to carry the
State.
The Democrats here claim New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey and Ne
