New York Safe.

Mr.. Joseph Robinson, who spent the
summer months with his brother, Il. G.
Robinson, Esq, at this pla"> has recen-
tly returned from a trip l. nth. Mr..
Robinson visited New York J, Buffalo,
Niagara. and various other places in the
State Of New York. He says politics are
at red heat and each party is doing its
| best to carry the election. From conver-
'ations with the citizens and from what
no could gather in other ways, he thinks
there is not particle of danger but what
Cleveland will carry the state by very
handsome majority This is generally
conceded by New Workers. He also Wis
tied Canada, and found very large ma
jority of tho Canadians i'll sympathy with
Cleveland. He also visited Ohio Here
he says he mover saw any thing to equal
the political excitement and activity of
the two parties. He met and conversed
with Ex-Governor Bishop upon the polit-
| lcal situation. The Governor was hope
full of carrying the state election on the
18th instant, but said they could give the
Republicans twenty thousand majority
III this election and then carry the state
| for Cleveland. He based his statement
| upon the fact that thousands of prohibi-
ZIONIST who are Republicans would vote
for their ticket in the state election, but
would vote for st. John in the Prosidcn-
.tial election. There are also other Re
! publcans who will vote their state ticket,
but will vote for Cleveland and Hendricks
III next month. From this statement it
would seem that the Democrats will he
stronger in the Presidential election than
they are i'll their state election.
Cleveland Certain to be Elected.
The New York World of tho Sth in
stant, in a leading and careful editorial
on the Presidential election, concludes as
| follows:
AS New York goes, SO go New Jersey
and Connccticut-N York's right and
left tlnnka.
The 81 electoral votes Of these three
States, with the 1873 electoral votes of the
South, now certain for Cleveland, give
the Democracy 2OI votes, or three more
than majority. Bat to these must be
added Indiana, which is stronger and |
slrer for Cleveland and Hendricks now
than it was for Tildru and Hendricks in |
1876. Thus II total Of 219 electoral votes
are sure for Cleveland, not counting Cal
lfornia and Nevada, which went for Han |
cock, and counting only the States that
cast thcm electoral votes for the Demo-
cratic candidates in 1876, when they had
no Republican bolt OF Republican news
papers i'll New York to support them.
On these 90 electoral votes POI are
enough to make Grover Cleveland Prcsi
dent and save the Republic and proclaim
the nntion's great lesson and decree that
RascAlity and lumbug are not better
policy i'll politics than Honestly.
We entirely omit the West. We en-
tlrely omit Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Michigan and Kansas, where the prohi-
bltion movement has assumed such for
m'dablc proportions as to seriously i'm
perlal Republican nscrndcucy.
On the Republican side ull is fear and
trembling.
On the Democratic side all is camness
and confidence.
New York is safe. In spite Of troach-
cry, fraud and corruption funds, victory
Is ahead for Grover Cleveland and the
cause of Good Government.
The Republican Rtscals will CO. The
Republic will stay.
