NO FEAR FOR NEW YORK.
CLEVELAND TO CARRY THE STATE
BY A BIG MAJORITY.

Committeeman Estill on the Situation
Tho split on the Municipal Ticket
in New York to Help Cleveland-The
So-caued Doubtful states Wheeling
into Line-New Jersey All Right
The Republican Claim on Ohio Weak
ening.
Col J. H. Estill, who has returned from
q meeting in New York of the national
democratic executive committee, Of which
he is member, was asked yesterday what
impressions his visit made upon him bear
ing upon the national campaign.
In reply he said they were decidedly en-
couraging: in fact, he expresses no doubt of
the result. He says that no fear need be
entertained Of New York, as the Cleveland
ami Thurman electoral ticket will carry the
STATE by a very pronounced majority, run
ing I'D into tine thousands. Referring to
the dual tickets for mayor, he thinks that
instead of injuring the national ticket, it
will have an opposite effect. The two local
wings of the democracy are divided only on
local candidates and united and earnest in
their support of Cleveland. As a result of
shis, it is his impre s,ion that there will be
larger democratic vote polled than II there
were but one municipal ticket.
How about New JerseyF' Col. Estill was
asked
There is no doubt about New Jersey. 1t
is safely democratic, and while the republi-
cans are claiming Connecticut, Chairman
Barnum SAYS that it can be included in the
democratic column and viii give its cleo
toral vote to Cleveland"

''The republicans have a large campaign
fund-somethng over 81, 100000, and are
likely to try their same old tactics in what
they consider the doubtful states, but all
advices from Indiana are encouraging, and
our Indiana committeeman says Indiana
will 20 Democratic"
"N hat about the republicans claiming
North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia
and Florida!n
Nothing in it at all" said Col. Estill
''1he democr cy expect to carry North
Carolina by $1,000 to 10000, and Florida
will give an increased Cemocratic ma jority
West Virginia and Virginia are reasonably
safe for the democratic candidates. West
Virginia is always claimed by the republ-
rans, but tney never carry it. Thurman Is
very popular there"
"How about the doubtful republican
states9"
well, our Ohio friends are claiming
Ohio as doubtful state. A friend very
Close 10 OUalTIndn DTlCe, WHO Is dn OnlO
man, says that Mr.. Brice has looked over
the field in Ohio, aud thinks it can be
carried for Cleveland and thurman. Ohio
is the home of Judge Thurman, where,
owing to his faithful public services, broad
craftsmanship and rugged honesty, he is very
popular. The claim is made that OHIO has
often gone democratic in the last fourteen
years, and the conditions are even
more favorable this year for the
national democratic ticket with an Ohio
man running on it. Tiere is no doubt
that a well directed effort will be made to
carry Ohio Then the states Of Michigan,
Wisconsin and California are debatab,e
ground, and representatives from these
states express their confidence that the
electoral votes Of all those states will go 10
Clsvelend and Thurman"
"Theu you are hopeful of the general
resultH
YES 1t is all one way in New York, and
there is no lack of confidence in any direc-
tion as to the final result. There is conf
t.ence in the stability of the administra-
tion which Is noticeable in the great trade
center of the country-New York. There
is remarkable activity in trade and all the
hotels were crowded when was there Tie
bugbears which were used to deceivs the
people in tho last presidential electiol have
been SO thoroughly exposed by the cOnser-
Native administration OF a democr& tic
J. esident, that largely increased vote TO
retain it four years longer may be expect
