SARATOGA, Aug. l9.-h is reported here
tonight that the Republicans intend to win
. This campaign, no matter what may happen
in October Several Of the leading 6nan.
ciers of the country have been in secret
consultation here during the past few days
They have resolved, to push Blaine through
at any cost A plan of operations has
been practically agveed upon, and all the
heavy work is to be done in the last twenty
DAYS of the campaign. Money to any
amount, it is asserted, will Be placed at the
command of the Republicans, and the
shower Of two dsllar bills which Dorsey
said covered Indiana in 1890 will not be q
circumstance to hegolden rain which will
fall in all the doubtful States early in No
Vem6er in the event Of Blaine's prosperity
being shady
Al the same time the Democrats will not
loneuish for funds. Senator German told
a gentleman on Friday that the offers Of
financial support we're more than encour-
aging. Congressman Collins, Of Boston, is
credited with pledging himself to collect
$25. 900 in one block Of that city. Mr..
Tildsn, the politicians assert, will open his
barrel and ether wealthy men who. are in
teressed in the success Of the Democratic
ticket will dip deeply into their pockets.
Ex-Governor Rice os Massachusetts re-
CARDS the candidacy Of Butler as 8 most i'm

who supposed that Butler was not going to

appointed. bu he regarded tho Generals $

ports from Ohio indicate that we are likely
to be successful there, too.
The Germans.
"Disaffection among the Germans on ac-
count Of Mr. Blaine's prohibition views will
cost the Republicans thousands Of votes. 1t
is so all through the Western States where
the German element is large. This move
ment is scarcely appreciated in the East. 1t
is much more formidable than the Irish
revolt, and will give the Republicans more
trouble than the Irish will the Democrats
Prohibition will cut the Republicans in two
ways-by st. John securing Prohibltonists
votes and anti. Prohibition Germans going
for Cleveland. This issue will give the
Democrats a chance in Wisconsin, Iowa,
Illinois, and Kansas, as well as in Ohio.
As this element in the contest becomes bet
ter understood less will be heard aho1t the
Irish and workingmen's movement in the
East. These classes are being visited in
diyidually BY Democratic workers, who ex-
plain Gov. ClevelAnd's true position toward
the laboring men, and prove that Mr..
Blaine is no greater friend Of the Irish than
his opponent, This quiet work is having
its effect. Reports received from all parts
of the State indicate that the Blaine feeling
among them is dwindling away. Those
who ridicule the independent bolt would be
surprised if they knew of the activity OF the
independent Executive Committee and the
number interested in the movement /
understand that they have 5000 names on
their rolls in New York.
Buffers candidacy" continued the
speaker, "has not excited the stir that he
expected. His purpose to aid Blaine was
too transparent He may make a little
trouble in New York and Massachusetts,,
but he will figure in the circus only as the
clown. The campaign is not active yet
As soon as Gov. Cleveland's letter appears
things will warm up, and hot fight may
be looked for from September l until No
yember."

Interest in the Approaching State Conven-
characterization TO be Made-A List OF
the Candidates.
HARTFORD, August l9.-The interest
in the Republican State Convention, which
assemblies at New Haven next Wednesday,
centers principally in the gubernatorial
nomination. Three candidates are in the
field. The Fairfield county section favors
Phiness c. Lounsbury of Ridgefeld, gen
tleman identified with the American Bank
Note Company, Of New York 1t is urged
by his friends that he is an available" can
didate, and if Sam Fe.senden, of Stamford,
a member Of the Republican National Com
mittee, chooses to take hand in his favor,
his chances Of nomination are fair. A
stronger candidate and one who has large
support in the central and eastern part Of
The State, and some following IN Litchfeld
county, is General William H. Bulkeley, of
Hartford. General Bulkely was defeated by
Governor Waller two years ago, but polled
very large Republican vote for an "of
year, and is regarded as candidate who
is popular, and backed by some Of the most
efficient political workers in the State. The
third name mentioned is that of Henry B
Harrison, of New Haven who was Speaker
ofthe Connecticut House last year. He is
favorite with the independent Republi-
cans, and his nomination would be bid
for their votes in aid OF Blaine.
Democrats and Republicans alike are
claiming Connecticut for then Presidential
cand isates, and in State so close it is ex-
pedient for either party to adopt any means
likely tsattract any votes For Lieutenant
Governor Senator i.orrin A. Cooke, of Bark
