Patrick A. Collins, chairman Of the
Massachusetts, Democratic state com
mittee, said 10 Boston Post reporter that
the prospects for Democratic success are
better than at any time for many years
past, and he bases this opinion upon the |
observation that the general drift Of
sentiment ia toward Cleveland, and this |
Is not Iopflned 70 the Democratic masses,
but to oitixeps Of every political belief. |
The independent NOV mept, although |
strongest Ia New York and ssachusetta,
Is, he thinks, we'll developed IN New |
Jersey, Connection, MI hisau. Wisconsin |
and Iowa. lie believes the Democrats are
reasonably sure Of carrying Indiana, and
perhaps California, aud that IN Ohio the
Republicans will have to put their best
foot forward TO win. He does not believe
that John Kelly will bolt, and Gays that
II he shunld hs oouid rot take Tammany
along with him. Speaking Of the pns-
sible defestion In the Irish vote, Mr.
Collins said /: | believe that what y,
call the Irish vote will b thrown pretty
much "a in the past Presidential cam.
| paigns. l don't know why the Dsmo.
cratic portion Of 1t shouldn't be given to
Cleveland and Her bricks this year.
There may bs dissatisfaction, here aud
there, among the Irish voters in regard
to the Democratic nominations, but there
Ia no organised opposition anywhere
among them that l know Of. The Irish
vote will be all right, never fear"
