STILL WATERS RUN DEEP.
THE SILENT VOTE TO DECIDE
THE COMING ELECTION. y

states Which No One Dreams of as Civ
ing Democratic MajOrities to be Found
for Cleveland in NOvember-The State
and County Elections in Alabama Re-
suit as Usual
w WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. - Ex-senator
Stockton, of New Jersey, who is here, has
been interviewed as follows: "The re-
suit of the election will be a surprise.
Everybody will wonder how it happened
that Blaine got so few votes. There is a
most extensive disaffection in the Repub-
hcan ranks. The Independent voters
coming to the Democrats will be large,
and that will be nothing compared with
the acquisitions from the Republican
ranks proper. The element of silent vo-
ters is the most important in the COM
ing contest. There are thousands
upon thousands of Republicans who Will
refuse to support Blaine and will cast
their votes for Cleveland. They saw
nothing and will never be heard from ex-
cept through their votes. They are men
who do not take any active part in poll
tics, and they say nothing because they
do not want to draw fire upon them
selves. This VIII be felt and deeply felt
in the coming struggle"
"H0w about your own State?'
NEW JERSEY SOLID.
"New Jersey is Democratic State and
everything is in an excellent condition
there now. There is no trouble in the
party whatever. We will carry the State
by good majority. The Republicans
claim that they can carry it on the tariff
issue. There is no foundation for such a
claim. In the first place, the Democratic
platform is entirely satisfactory to the
manufacturers throughout the State; and,
secondly, the tariff will be entirely lost
slgnt OF In the contemplation of more i'm
pOrtant and present matters. The
Republican party has put up
representative man, and we have chosen
one to represent high principles. The
fight Will be one of principle. 1t will be
a victory of the high principles of the
party. | do not speak against Blaine
personally. l leave that sort of business
to those who delight in personal vitupera-
tlOn. lspeak of the party. The Republi-
can administration has been from its start
the worst and most corrupt in the world,
and has grown worse every hour. The
party leaders acknowledge it themselves.
CONKLING's KEY NOTE.
'Mr. COnkling, when he sounded the
keynote of Gartield's campaign, declared
that the party was the most corrupt in

tion, he said, and they began by purchas-
ing the Presidency, this on top of the
fraud OF four years ago. The Garfield adj
ministrati0n was purchased and the ma
chine set to work by such men as
Dorsey, Brady and Elkins.
Blaine, as l have said, represents the
party. In his selection they are honest
for once. The nomination of Cleveland
represents all the old Democratic princi-
pies, and more, it is the work of a new
issues to the old ones and he will command
votes irrespective of party. We will
carry States no one now dreams of. We
will carry Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, New
Jersey and New York beyond a doubt,
and no one knows what other besides the
REGULAR Democratic States.v
