FROM the Philadelphia Times, Ind. !
Foiltlcal leaders and calculators as q
rule' assume that the present national
contest is being fought on old party
lines by old party methods, and that
the result can be estimated bv old
party records. It is possible that the
result OF the coming November election
may run on the same general marty
lines as did the contest of 1884 with
variations in very few of the closer
States, but it is quite probable that
both parties may be surprised at the
revelations of the ballot boxes on the
nlght OF the 9th of November.
IT IS commonly accepted by leaders
Oh both sides that New York is the
battle ground of the contest and that
the electoral vote of that State will de-
eide the Presidency. We do not so
regard it. On the contrary we ba-
leVe that the next President will not
need the vote of New York to assure
MS election, although it is most likely
that the Empire State viii vote for the
successful candidate. IfGen. Harrison
snail oe elected, he will have electoral
votes to spare without New York, and
if President Cleveland shall be re-
elected he will not be likely to need
either New York .. Connecticut, and ),
may be re elected without the electoral
votes of New York, Connecticut, In
diana and West Virginia.
The following may be classed as fairly
doubtful States-that is, States whose
votes either way are quite within the

didates.
We are aware that few political lead
ers on either side are prepared to accept
this view Of the present national strug-
gle, but they are estimating only from
the usual surface indications, when it
is conceded that there are hundreds of
thousands of voters in the States we
class as doubtful, who are studying the
tariff and tax issue for themselves and
who are certain to exhibit exceptional
| independence in voting on the ques-
ton. These hesitating voters embrace
every political faith, and, however they
may vote on election day, they will
vote their convictions rather than
in obedience to party. They may divide
so nearly equal in numbers as not to
materially affect results they may
cast large preponderance for Harrison,
and if they shall largely fall upon one
side or the other, they will carry every
State We class as doubtful for the can
didate who commands their favor.
1t is this vote Of from half a million
to million of voters, scattered from
New Hampshire to California, that
furnishes the one element of doubt, in
the present contest, and it is not the
wrangling Of Democratic factions in
New York. With the support of the
bulk of this doubtful vote, Cleveland
will be elected with or without the aid
ofTammany orthe County Democracy !;
without the bulk of that vote victory
in the Empire State would be valueless
to him. And this vote that is next to
certain to be the controlling factor of tie
battle,is beyond the reach of party disci-
pline or party prejudice or party corrup-
tion funds. 1t will decide the issue for
itself; it will decide it independentlyand
honestly according to the best light it
can attain, and until it's attitude shall
be known, it will be the blindest guess,
even on the part Of the best informed
politicians, as to the issue of the No
vember battle.

Inc foregoing States will cast IA of
the 4Ol Elect raj votes, and at no elec-
tlol4 since 1856 have so many States
been IN any measure doubtful. We:
regard New York, Connecticut, Indi-

to vote for Cleveland, than to vote for
HARRISON while the other States
classed as doubtful are more likely to
vote for Harrison than for Cleveland:
but it is certainly within the range of

FIRE THE CREAMCITY.

by girl employe burning in pile of

sidewalk of the fvestory confectionery
factory of the George zlegler company
on the corner of East Water and Chicago
STREETS. Tho fire spread rapidly,
but the 40 employees all escaped
in safety, leaving wraps and lunch
baskets behind. The entire fire de-
partment was called out, and II
twenty five minutes the fire was under
control, it not extending above the second
floor. This effective work OF the depart
ment was due 30 the fact thst there was a
space of twenty feet between the building
and the river thus allowing the 6remen to
get directly at the fire. The books were
saved without injury. The origin OF ths
fire is lot known. The building was built
In 1854 and was one of the most substan-
tial brick buildings in the city. The loss
is placed at $1,000 but is amply covered
by insurance. Work will be resumed as
soon as possible.

BERLIN, May 5.-The emperor's sleep
was unbroken for several hours toward
morning. 1t was the best sleep he enjoy
ed for many weeks, and he awoke from 1t
with good appetite and il good spirits.
He can not walk a step though he was
able to stand occasionally. The danger Is
that in the event of recurrence of the
crisis, while his powers of resistance are
reduced to minimum, there will be no
chance for him to survive long. The
crown prince, though absorbed IN extern
sive duties, confers daily with the em
press sPart from his visit TO his father.
This marked change in the crown princes
demeanor was coincident with
the visit of Queen Victora,
waose success In counseling him proves
TO be more enduring than was anticipat-

tim of the emperor still forbids his leav-
