land.
San Francisco Call.
Congressman George W. Cassidy of Ne
vada, who has just returned from the
East, has great confidence in the success
OF the Democratic ticket. While in New
York he had q conversation with Grover
Cleveland, and says Mr.. Cleveland is Q
man of much greater ability than is gen.
orally supposed. Concerning the Chinese
question Mr.. Cleveland expressed himself
in full accord with the anti-Chinese senti.
ments as they are generally accepted here,
and said he was in favor of the Restric-
ton Acts lately passed. Mr.. Cassidy said
that Mr.. Cleveland is being supported by
the business and property interests Of
New York without exception as to the
party feelings which usually controlled
these persons. Consequently the large
fund obtained from them by the Republi-
cans in the past would not be contribut-
ed by them this year. II was also an open
secret that President Arthur and his ad-
ministration. including all his Cabinet,
with the exception of Chandler, would be
pleased to see Cleveland elected. The
political atmosphere at the East is
almost wholly in favor Of Cleve-
iohdt ohu MI Sdbnluy nCo
with surprise that the Pacific Coast
should apparently be otherwise. The
Democratic leaders Of the East are
thoroughly confident of success, and it
was in a measure inspired by the course
which it is positively known Tammsny
will take in support of Cleveland and
Hendricks. This support will not be OF
the half hearted or formal character, but
will be sincere and enthusiastic. The In
dependent movement in New York ia
assuming immense proportions, and the
Democratic leaders are counting on 0 vote
from this source Of from 40, 900 to rs, 900.
II is expected that Cleveland and Hen
bricks will carry New York by rs, 900
majority. Grover Cleveland also ex-
pressed himself as utterly opposed to the
contract labor and psuper labor systems.
He was sound as a dollar on these mat
ters. The Governor was also right ON the
protection issue, and his course was in
dorsed by the Germans in the East. The
leaders OF the Democracy were counting
on obtaining the votes of all the Southern
States for Cleveland and Hendricks, and
to these were added New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin. Wisconsin would be as certain as
Kentucky or Missouri. New Hampshire,

nois we're thought doubtful, and might go
for either party.
Mr.. Cassidy does not believe the action
Of the New York Sun will damage the
chances of the Democratic ticket, as il is
thought to be in a measure due to the posi-
ton taken by the Herald in supporting
Cleveland and in reducing it's price to Q
cents, thereby coming in conflict with the
Sun. The Partially shown for Butler by
the Sun is accounted for in much the same
way. and Mr.. Cassidy calls attention to
the fact that Mr.. Dana takes pains to say
that Blaine is no better than Cleveland as
a candidate. The extent of the labor
movement is not known exactly, but Mr..
Cassidy thinks that those labor orgsniza-
tions which have usually cast their votes
for the Democratic nominees will do 80
again. Then it is known that John Kelly
will support the ticket. because if he
wanted to do otherwise he dare not, as
Edward Kearney, who stands second,
would be made Sachem in his place.
Kelly will throw all OF his influence for
the regular nominees, and is merely
making arrangements to perfect plans in
the city for the election of local candidates
favorable to his own interests. AS soon as
Tsmmany meets in regular session his
position and that Of the organization will
be made clear.
Mr.. Cassidy thinks he has a fair chance
OF reelection to Congress from Nevada,
although that State has a Republican ma
