DEMOCRACY INVINCIBLE.
STATES ONCE DOUBTFUL NOW
SURE FOR CLEVELAND.

West Virginia Far Out of BIaiue's Reach
-Tammany's support in New York
Earnest and Sincere-The German Dis
affection from the Republicans wide
spread and Ominous to the PIumed
Knight.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Glib
son, of Louisiana, who has been engaged
in the canvass in West Virginia for sew
eral weeks, has returned to Washington.
To reporter he said: sThere is no doubt
about the State, and the Democrats are
thoroughly aroused. If the Republicans
ever really entertained a hope of carving
West Virginia in the coming election. they
have abandoned it. With regard to Ohio
l know nothing, except what Pye heard
from our friends who have been there.
They tell me that the outlook is encour-
aging. We will cut the Republican ma
jority down to low figure, anyhow.
The Republicans are working for
a big majority in Ohio in Oc-
tober for the effect it would have
in New York and Indiana
The reporter reminded Senator Gibson
Of the reports which placed his own State,
Louisiana. in the doubtful column.
''There was never more unanimity and
he said, ''upOn Federal issues than now.
Cleveland and Hendricks have a better
support and will get a larger majority
than did Tilden or Hancock. There is
some party disagreement, but it is con.
fined entirely to local issues. There is no
dissatisfaction with the national ticket"
a prominent Democrat, who has just
returned from New York city, was talk
ing to-day in a group Of several party
friends about Tammany.
TAAIMANY SINCERE.
He said: ''Tammany will support Cleve-
land honestly. The nomination of a sep
arate local ticket by Tammany does not
show that it means treacherY. The truth
is that the rival local Democratic tickets
will bring out bigger vote for Cleveland
than union local ticket. Rival tickets,
with each side striving to win, will get
out all the vote it can command in OTdOr
to win, and every vote cast for each local
ticket viii have Cleveland and Hendricks
at the head"
Representative Thompson, of Kentucky,
who talked with different Tammany lead
ers during his recent visit to New York,
says that there is no question OF the hon.
est and sincere support Of Cleveland by
that organization. He says that the lead
ers will do all in their power for the
national ticket, and that the rank and file
are for Cleveland.
An anti-Blaine Republican OF Ohio, who
arrived in the city from that State yester-
day, where he has been looking into the
situation, said to-day that he did not
think that the Republicans could carry
the State in the coming election.
THE DIsAFFECTED GERMANS.
He said that he had talked with large
number of leading Germans, Republicans
and Democrats, and he was convinced
that there is an extensive and Increasing
sentiment among them antagOnistic to
Blaine and the Republican machine. He
says that even ButterwOrth, who is prob
ably the strongest man the Republicans
could have put up for Congress in that
district is rapidly losing ground in Gin
clnnati until it seems as if his election
over FOllet would be impossible. The
Germans and the Observation-Disclosures
throughout the State, he said, have gotten
the impression that Robertson, the Re-
publican candidate for Secretary of State,
sympathizes with the PrOhibitiOnists, and
bitter opposition to him has sprung up
in consequence. The prominent name on
the ticket, ldge Johns tor the Supreme
bench, is also violently opposed on ac-
count of his connection with the Scott
liquor law. Blaine's presence, how
ever he said, would do some good, pro-
badly, and the money, of which the
State Committee has none, will be put
into the fight by the Eastern managers.
But there IS an antagOnism here a2ain be-
tween these managers and the State Com
mittee, who feel that everything has been
taken out of their hands.
