NEW YORK ALL RIGHT.
Cleveland Will Cross Harlem River
$4,000 Ahead.

$4,000 Ahead.
Yesterday HERALD reporter encoun-
tered on the street MIR. ]. G. Newton, one
of the best known Angelefios OF all the
old timers. Mr.. Newton has been at the
East for couple of months, and had re-
turned home but few days. After ex
changing few words on general topics,
the HERALD man began to inquire about
politics in the Empire State, in view of
the fact that the election is the upper
most topic on all tongues, and that New
York is the great pivotal State in the
rapidly approaching contest. The re-
turned tourist was the right man to
st rike. He said:
You know I spent most of my time
near Buffalo. was in the Democratic
State Convention when it assembled. l
had an excellent opportunity to learn
how sentiment was turning. MIR. d. N.
Lockwood, United States Attorney for
| Western New York, is my cousin. He it
was who nominated Mr.. Cleveland for
Mayor OF Buffalo, for Governor of New
York and for the Presidency the first
time. He is we'll known in his State,
and knows it's politics we'll. He was elect
ed to Congress from the Buffalo District,
although it is always Republican. And,
by the way, there is no talk of disloyalty
existing in the President ever heard in
that part of New York. Cleveland was
too we'll known there, and the fact that
he was elected Mayor of Republican city
when loyalty and disloyalty meant all they
could mean puts a quietus on such silly
fabrications. Well in the convention all
the factions were on hand. They we're
split wide apart on many propositions
but they were all united on Cleveland.
1t did not seem to matter what faction
was on the floor, every representative OF
every organization in the State who
spoke gave his voice emphatically for
the President, for his message, for his
administration, and they were all
enthusiastic for his reelection. There
will be no split in the head of the ticket
in New York. 1 did not meet sagaci-
GUS man in all my wonderings, who put
the majority by which Cleveland will
cross Harlem bridge below $4,000. Such
majority in Brooklyn and New York
City, of course means the State for
Democracy by 25 900 to 80 900.
There is another thing l noted in my
travels. In Northern New York there is
good deal of change going on in the two
parties. But 1 tell you the gain is on
our side. There are more Republicans
who do not believe in the levying Of
unnecessary taxation than there Demo
Gratis who do. That is SO wherever 1
went. l tell you our party has the facts
and the argument on its side. One
notices this wherever he hears the issue
discussed. The average Republican has
only one line of attack. He bellows
about free trade, and is easily shut up
when he is confronted with figures.
Point him to the Morrill, bill Of his own
party to all the tariff bills
framed by Republicans and he
| is soon silenced when he sees
that the Mills bill leaves the
tariff higher than it was even during the
war and in the period Immediately fol-
lowing the war.
These outgivings of the returned trav-
eler will be read with much interest by
Los Angeles Democrats. Mr.. Newton is
80 we'll known as a conservative man,
with an unusually well-bala need judg
ment that his views will be taken for {
great deal.
