The headquarters of the Democratic
State Committee at the Hoffman House
are crowded daily. The Executive
Committee is busy, and the clerical
force is sending out documents by the
thousand. There is an increasing de-
naand for Carl Schurz's Brooklyn
speech. Every mail brings encouras-
ing news from the rural districts.
Chairman William E. Smith says re-
ports show that the disaffeetion among
the rural Democracy Is greatly over
estimated and that the Independents
and Republicans who will vote for
Cleveland are largely underestimate.
The following are few of the letters
received yesterday:
From Au Sable Forks: "Cleyeland's
popularity and strength are steadily
increasing. The disafIection among
the Irish and laboring sclasses is rap
idly disappearing and before election
will entirely vanish. At first there
were slight reasons to apprehend some
disturbance among this class of voters,
but they are fast discovering the faisi-
ty of the pretext advanced by the
Know-Nothing candidate Of the Re
publicans."
An interesting letter from Ontario
county says: Il am only a hard
working person, for four years an off
Ger in the army of the Union, severely
wounded in saving it from disruption
and anxious to save it from the dis
honor which threatens it now by the
candidacy of an unscrupulous and
corrupt politician. l think Carl
Schurz's Brooklyn speech the best
document From self-respecting Re
publicans it secures votss for Cleve-
land, Hendricks and Reform"
From Ellenville, Ulster county: 81
have already noticed the good effect
of the issue Of Cleveland documents
here"

A letter from Jefferson county says

mortified to find some Democrats VIII,
were hostile to the Governor on &C
count Of Blaine's pretended America
policy. Yesterday and to-day l sa'
the same men, and find that the dis
cussion of Blaine's conduct as Secre

to their own party-which terminate
the disaffection here" From tow
