and his answering devotion TO what he has
thought right, have given rise among the peope,ir-
respective OF party affiliations, TO mighty nder-
current OF Cleveland sentiment, which assures sue

DRIFT of popular feeling is thing they deem beyond

and his r1ght-hand man, Mr. Daniel Manning,

Will be 10000 while bets on 10000 are regarded as
perfectly sale and are eagerly taken by democrats
wherever offered. The cause OF ali this confidence
among CeYeaDd's immediate followers Is OF course
the prohfbitionists ft has been Increased within
The last few days by what are regarded as signs OF
the collapse OF the peoples party In this state, and
by the open rebellion OF the stawarts In central
| New York The latter must, indeed be a cause OF
serious aam 10 the republicans as the men en-
gagged In the movement among the wealthiest
! and most influential In that section. Several OF
them are large employers OF labor, and all are rec
ognized TO greater or less degree rs leaders In
| their party. Their detection means much more
than loss to Blaine or their individual votes, and
serves TO show the feeling which II has all along
| throughout the state.
The independents In this city are very strong, the
democrats Claiming that there are 200 OF them, and
the republicans depreciating the movement as In
significant. In reality, there IS one feature OF tt
which makes IL peculiarly Significant In this sec
tion and brings double strength 10 the demo-
Gratis This Is the fact that republican manufac-
turers heretofore extreme protectionsts have not
only declared their inability 10 support Blaine on
| personal grounds, but because OF his attitude
the tarlff. This is the case with Mr. Said, one OF
the largest stove manufacturers IN this country.

workmen that his interests demanded high pro-
tecIive tarifl since that time IKE many other
| he rejects Blaine on the twofoid ground given
above. This action on the part OF extensive manu-
facturers Will destroy much OF the eject OF the re-
publican tarin issue in this section.
Another main cause OF democratic confidence iA
the ease with which money has been raised TO
| carry on the campaign. Mr.. w. Il Barnum Is
ported saying that IL Is the rSt time In bis ex-
penence when ne could get ~hat ne wanoed sun,
democrats acknowledge that good use does not
seem TO have been made OF the large amounts sent
| TO Ohio. It is said that the national COMMITTEES
| sent to Ohio just double the amount asked for 10y
Chairman Bargar IL Is also known that Chairman
Mulvihill, OF the Hamilton county democratic com-
mfttee, did use all the money sent him, as he
| thought he had things fixed just he wanted
| them, and concluded IL would be waste 20 do any
more These things ought 70 shake democratic
confidence somewhat, but they do Dot seem 10 have
that effect here.
In fact, as far as the democrats are concerned,
New York Is no longer doubtful state. They
claim IL by majority so large that even the hope
less muddlle In New York city has no terrors Tor
them. This Is not merely the case among the more
enthusiastic Cleveland men here, but at the dem
ocratic headquarters In New York similar feeling
Is discerniDle. There New YORK is declared as
claims are regarded as mere blu1, INTENDED for

large as that named by their opponents as what
Cleveland Will get but In view Of the independently
the Stalwarts and the prohfbtionists, such claims
must be admitted TO be a little roseaUe.
