New York, October 2. Roscoe
ConkliDg, who knows New York poll
tics as we'll as any man in the country,
SAID yesterday: "Thc best Judges i'm
New York City do not think Butler
will poll $4,000 votes there, ard it is
doubtful if he gets 10000 in the whole
Empire State. Even this vote sub
tracted from the Democratic numbers
seems disastrous at first sight, but
closer consideration shows that
thfoughout tho Republican canvass
t''us lar one factor has not been taken
INTO account. This unspokcn element
winch is to play so prominent q part
ih.tne campaign is the disaffcted Stall
wart element, which is better defined
in New York than elsewhere, and which
will undoubtedly overcome all efforts
that can be made by the Republicans
Tor gaining the Empire State to Blaine's
support. 1t is also very probable in
New York, and almost unUuestiouo-
bic in Massachusetts, that tho Inde-
pendent Republicans will by tar cx
ceed any addition that the Irish-Amer-
can elements may give Blaine and
Logan i'll those States, and, consider
ing these facts, there arc no reasons
why Cleveland will not carry New
York, provided that State does not
give Blaine stronger vote than it did
Garfield, which is out of the question
at this era of affairs"
The reports from the great Indepen-
dent mcctingin Boston last night show
how deep the disaflection is there.
one opinion is quoted here TODAY
with great satisfaction, namely, that
OF Dr. James Freeman Clarke, one of
B0ston's brightest intellectual lights.
who said: 81 recently visited Governor
Cleveland in Albany, and spent an
hour with him alone i'm his private
room lie talked with simplicity and
freedom, with manner which car
rlcd conviction of its truthfulncss.
Tic did not pretend that he had not
done wrong. From what he said |
was satisfied that no one suffered more
than himself from his past errors, and
l was convinced that he had left them
behind. But gathered this not from
any formal confession or profession,
but from the depth of conviction with
which he spoke"
The Repu6lican said: "Roscoc
Conkling is the man over all the New
York Stalwarts, and all Of the work
done during the campaign will be un-
der his direction. 1t was Just the
other night that number of influcn-
tial Boston and New York Stalwarts
held meeting in New York. 1t was
then decided to prepare an address,
which has been finished and which
viii be passed along the lines from the
Atlantic to tho Mississippi, and circu-
the most good"
Matters arc booming at headquar-
tcrs, and money is pouring in. Within
the last fortnight wonderful change
has come over the spirit with which
the public seems to look at National
politics. Democratic success seems to
be in the air. a dozen men with
whom l have talked to-day say that
their doubts Of two weeks ago have
been entirely cleared away, and they
are now sure of Clcveland's election.
