New York Safely Democratic

NEW YORK, Oct. % The skies are fast
becoming brighter for Cleveland in the states
OF New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
There never has been any real doubt about
New York, but recent events have made as
sursnces doubly sure, while in the other two
states the real facts are coming
to light and showing that Blaine is
losing ground every day. New York is sure
for Cleveland because the Democrats are
united on the national issue. because the in
dependent Republican vote is SO large that
the Blaine men are driven to desperate de-
vices in the attempt to hide it, because the
Germans are certainly going to vote almost
solidly for the governor and because the Pro-
hibition vote will be very large, while
Buffers ridiculous stool-pigeon canvass
has gone all to pieces in view of his estab-
lished insincerity. Connecticut will 20 for
| Cleveland, because the free trade cry on
which it was carried against Hancock has
miscarried this time. In 1880 it was sprung
suddenly upon the Democrats, almost at the
end OF the campaign, and caused panic in
the factories which there was no time
TO arrest. This time the tariff issue
has been raised early, and the Democrats
have sent their clearest headed men right
among the factory hands, met the question
squarely with unanswerable arguments, and
spiked every gun.
CoNNECTICUT's VOICE.
Ex-senator Eaton stakes his reputation
for political foresight on the declaration that
Cleveland viii carry Connecticut by g. 600
majority easily. The Indepen dent
Republican movement in that state
is also very strong, while Buffers party is
hardly worth speaking of. What there is of
it is falling apart. Gen. Curtis, the Butler
candidate for governor, has withdrawn with
the intimation that he is not going to be
used as a cats paw for Blaine. 1t is said
that Taylor, the labor candidate in the Fourth
district, will also withdraw, and that
Judge Birdsell will step down and out of the
Butler electoral ticket. That practically ends
the Butler game in Connecticut. As to the
Independents, count of noses shows no
less than $500 in the state. which in itself
is much more than enough to wipe out the
Garfield majority of 1880.
AND NEW JERSEY TOO.
New Jersey is sure for Cleveland because
the workingmen of the state, who, like those
OF Connecticut, were scared by the tariff cry
in 1880 to such an extent that Hancock's
majority was only about 1000, are now
almost solid for the Democratic ticket be-
cause many Of them are out of
work and the others have had
their wages cut down and their
eyes are opened to the necessity of change
OF administration. Just how the labor ele-
ment in New Jersey stands is shown by an
interview with Chas- H. simmerman, one of
the leaders of the knights of Labor, and as
sistant chief of the state bureau of statistics
and labor. He SAYS there is no truth in |
the claim that Blaine will receive !
considerable portion of the workingmen's
vote in New Jersey. Fourf-fths of them. he |
ayoSs, will vote for Cleveland, while Buffers |
candidacy IS laughed at in New jersey. Two
thousand would be liberal estimate of the |
number Of voters who viii throw away their |
ballots on mere puppet Mr.. Zimmerman |
also says that there is no truth in |
thee story Of Irish detection in |
favor Of Blaine in New Jersey.
There are not 200 Irish Democrats in the |
state OF New Jersey who viii vote for Blaine.
Il there were any doubtful ones Mr. Nc /
Sweeny's story has opened their ewes to /
blaine's true character as pretended friend
Of Irish-American citizens. New Jersey is
ALSO fun Of independent Republicans.
