New YORK. Oct 29th.-As the cam
paign nears Its close, it becomes evident
day by day that the plan of the republi
can managers is to aband on New York to
the enemy and combine their energies in
New Jersey and Indiana. The evidences
that this is their line Of conduct are very
clear. New York City is weak and, fur>
thermore, that they have lost their grip on
Kings county brooklyn and understand:
ing perfectly well that they cannot man
age their campaign methods in a city of
this size, with its effective organization,
as well as they could the west, they have
concluded to make no effort whatever to
capture the state of New York. What
they can do in Indiana and New Jersey
remains to be seen. Gov Hendricks, as
vice presidential nominee, yields a power
III the hnOSer state which has never been
equalled since the days of ex-senator
Jesse Bright. With one single exception
he never was defeated for anv office he
aspired to in the gift of Indiana. In 1872
when every other candidate on the demos
cratic ticket was defeated, he was elected
governor by a handsome majority. So
far as that stale is concerned if is also
known that the democratic nlalanx remains
rs unbroken as ever and. that no effect
