i'm the north and east ever since GO
ing to Chicago as delegate to the
national republican convention, con-
sequently has had an excellent oppor-
tunity to study and investigate the
political situation. Having been an
original Harrison man and long be-
fore delegates were selected in his
state. Mr.. Terrell is naturally very
highly elated over the ticket and will
devote most of his time from now
until November I, helping to elect it.
He represented the national commit
teeman for Texas, and was one0f the
gentlemen designated to inform Har-
rison and Morton of their nominations,
therefore, his facilities for securing in
side facts since the convention adj
iourned have been the very best.
A Republican representative as ked
Mr.. Terrell last evening how he sized
up the indications, and his reply was
in substance to the effect that Harri-
son will carry every northern state
and probably two or three southern
ones will be added to the list. Said
he. II have been in New York and
Indiana, all the time, and am free to
say that the turn matters have taken
greatly surprised me. The leading re-
publicans of New York, men like
Morton, Miller, Platte, Depew and
others, are just as certain of carrying
that state this fall as they can be of
ANYTHING. All of them said to the
central committee, when it was in
session, we are thoroughly united,
which has not been the case before
for fifteen or twenty years, and the
party is splendidly organized for work.
All the old factions have come togeth-
er, disaffections are completely wiped
out. and the leaders are predicting
that thew will reach Harlem bridge
with majority of 50, 900. These men,"
continued Mr.. Terrell, ''gave sensible
and solid reasons for every encourage
ment they presented to the committee,
and having been actively engaged
with the politics of New York for
twenty years, certainly knew what
they were talking about
Mr.. Morton, said the gentleman, is
an extremely popular man there. He
will not only poll the solid republican
vote, but draw largely from the demo-
Gratis, especially among the working
| men. Mr.. Morton invited three or four
of the notifying committee to be his
guests over Sunday, and Mr.. Terrell
was one of them. While enjoying his
! hospitality he made them acquainted
with many things which settled in
their minds the republicans ability to
| gain great victory. They will nOmi-
| nate Warner Miller for governor, and
| his popularity makes him a great
power. While the republicans are per-
fectly harmonious and in eXtraordina-
rily fine working condition, their
friends, the enemy, are badly demon
allied. The Cleveland followers are
bitterly opposed to Hill, but they
have got to renominate him and that
means war to the knife. 1t also means
a clean walk away for Miller. The
CleVelandites are anxious to put up
| Whitney, but they are pOwerless in
their efforts to GUST Hill and know it.
On the other hand Mayor Hewitt and
his brother-in-law, Cooper, are cold
Indifferent, and standing alOOf These
are reasons why the republicans will
not devote their entire attention to the
state at large. They propose to do
some hard work right in the city, and
are now organizing Irish republican
clubs in nearly every ward. All in
!, all, therefore, the situation in New
York is one that assures the electoral
vote of that state for Harrison and
J Morton.
, AS for Indiana, said Mr.. Terrell,
YOU can set her down as good, sure for
, 10000 majority. In all my life 1 have
} never seen such an uprising among
the people. Old democratic strong
: holds are coming out with Tippecanoe
and Harrison clubs so strong that by
the middle of August the indianapolis
! Sentinel will have hydrophObia. La
boring men in every part of the state
: have declared their intention of vOt-
: ing the republican ticket who have al.
ways been held by the democrats
! One day this week 1000 miners from
J Sullivan county will go to General
Harrison's home and personally as
sure him of their support.
? The railroad mems Harrison club al
2 Indianapolis now numbers something
over 200, and new members are be-
| ing taken in every day. When the
: Sentinel, after their visit to General
Harrison two weeks ago, undertook tC
villify and scandaliZe the men il
: struck the wrong crowd, and as a re,
| suit every railroad man in Indianap
t oils will be carrying a Harrison ban
ner before September. The same kinG
e of an uprising is also bringing the
r boys out at Terre Haute, Fort Wayne
e Richmond, and every other large
o town where there are railroad works
h 1t makes no difference what the de
!. mocrats undertake to tell you, thei
d party has no more show of carrying
S Indiana than the republicans of carry
