| SYRACUSE, Sept. 2e.-When this election Is
over those WHO arc now dissatisfied with THE
BUN because IL does not daily proclaim that Gro.
YER Cleveland 10 sure 70 be elected Iresidentwill
| be forced to admit that THE Sun has adhered
to the truth about the canvass moro closely
than any other newspaper. Many Democrats
who have heretofore been prominent In the
party already begin to perceive that they are
getting moro bottom facts about the condition
| Of the campaign in this State from
| THE Sun than from the papers which
blindDy proclaim everything lovely. Thew
are discovering that II 10 not - rosy
in their party A. the sensational Demo-
cratic papers endeavor to make 1t appear. They
are likewise expressing grave doubts In the
| wisdom OF nominating candidate ON the plea
that he will satisfy an element In the opposing
party without my reference to his securing the
support OF Democrats.
| In conversation to-day with prominent
Democrat who wns nm advocate OF CIevelands
nomination before the Chicago Convention
met. and who has recently visited several
prominent points in the State and conversed
with leading men OF his party from all sections.
| he said that he had become convinced that he
| had made mistake In advocating Cieveland's
nomination and that his party committed o
blunder ut Chicago. When asked II the sup
port Of tho Independent Republicans was less
than he had supposed II would be. his reply
was: What matters It how large the INDIE
pendent Republican support Is. or may be. II
we lose three Of our own men for every ono that
| we gain from the Republicans? The total re-

that the Democrats IN this state outnumbel
the Republicans by %, 600. that they gain from
, the Independent Republicans In the State, ,wha
is about the figure. $4,000 more. II all the

, didate would have q majority Of $4,000. But 4
, they lose $4,000 Of the Democrats, which is Z
! low estimate. as see the signs that majority
. 10 wiped out and the majority is on the othel
side. IT Is true that most OF the Democrats who
oppose the candidate OF their party will vote FOL
Butler instead Of Blaine. yet II defeats Cleye
DEMOCRATS could have won by nominating 81 !
candidate who would have w received the united
defeated by pursuing policy based ON gaining
the votes OF Independent Republicans: The!
losing the regular passengers"
From your observation you then come I,
, the conclusion that Cleveland has no chance :,
