devote my remaining years to those having a
right to my protection So L am giving my

Cleyeland's Chances.

A well known citizen of Nash
vile received the following letter
from friend in New York city:
"You ask me what Cleveland's
chances are, more especially in New
York State. think that no one has
had better chances of being elected
President than Grover Cleveland has.
There is no doubt but what he will
carry New York State. The De-
mocracy is solid for him and the de-
fection from the Republicans is
simply Immense. Then, besides the
Prohibition vote will pull largely
from the Republicans. / have no
doubt but what that vote will take
at least 35, 600 from the Republicans
alone. Then we have the Butler
vote. That will be about one-third
from Democrats and two-thirds
from Republicans. / suppose that
the Butler and Prohibition vote
will amount to about 1870, 900, yyOf
which we may safely say $4,000 will
come from the Republicans, Then
you take the independent vote,
which will be cast for Cleveland.
To tell the truth, Cleveland'smajor-
ity will be immense, 1t will no
doubt be from 10000 to 100000 plu-
raiity over the Republicans, II not
moreg Yoa may think me IA little
wild In my calculation, but IL y0u
were here and saw and knew the
feeling presioIninaiin you would
belive II. The DefilOcratic party
never had better chance 10 elect
Its President than IL has now"
