New YORK, Oct. 20.-TO-night marks
the close of the second stage of the
presidential campaign. Directly after
the st. LOUIS convention, and before
headquarters were formally opened,
commenced the educational portion Of
the great popular work to which Chair
man Brice, of the Democratic campaign
committee, alluded in the first dis
cussion of the presidential situation.
Then followed the epoch Of debate
and preliminary organization, resulting
in the clear definition of lines OF
conflict and the array of the reform
forces, which is now completed. During
the two weeks that remain there will
occur the final maneuVerS for the de-
cisive battle on the 9th of November.
The Democratic contest is in the open
field. There is no bushwacking. There
are 10 pitfalls. Everything that is to
be said or done is told plainly to the
people, and reliance for success is
placed solely on the final exercise of
the well-informed judgment of every
intelligent voter. Tonight some of
those most active in Democratic head
quarters work are returning to their re-
Spective localities in order to give to
the canvass, in which each is personally
concerned, the impetus that can be i'm
parted by knowledge of the general
plans of action and by the spirit of in
innate association with the mainspringS
of the contest. There is not one
of those who leave that doubts
that a victory is to be achieved
but each one is determined that he and
his neighbors shall leave nothing un-
done TO render their part in that victory
illustriOuS. There will remain at ma
tiOnal headquarters an efficient working
force ready to meet any emergency up
TO the last hour of the canvass, and TO
perform with intelligence and dispatch
those functions of political machinery
which are necessary to an orderly con-
duct of the election

1t is believed without reserve that
Cleveland and Thurman will be elected
by majority of the electoral college
greater than that received by CIcve-
land aud Hendricks. There is conf
dence that the house of representatives
of the Fifty-firSt congress viii have a
larger Democratic majority than there
is in the Fiftieth congress, and that the
changes in states will be such as
to make the revolution in
the control of the United States
senate not only sure, but marked 10y a
larger majority than either party has
had in that body for many years. The
great event of next week in New York
will be the parade of merchants organ
iZatiOl that will occur one week from
to-day, and the managers of the prepa-
ratiOnS for that occurrence are greatly
encouraged by the intelligence received
this afternoon that their committee has
received the formal assent of President
Cleveland to review the parade on that
great occasion, which will pail and en-
phaSize by a still greater attendance
the immense demonstration of like
character toward the close of the cam
paign of 1884. The discovery that Re-
publican headquarters have in their en-
ploy in this city number of
Pinkerton detectives who are placed
under the direction of the
notorious Pennsylvania election
manipulation Charles VOORHEES, in
creaSeS the Indignation of New Workers
against the methods of the Republican
managers, and inspires them with in
creased contempt for their feeble and
futile efforts TO terrOrize and debauch
the vote of the empire state. The
whole thing is
FARCIAL IN ITS INCEPTION
and in the way it is carried out. If the
Democratic managers had set to work
to devise a way of making the Repub-
lican campaign unpopular and ridicu-
lOus, they could not have done half so
well as their opponents have done for
them. Martins persistent fuSsi-
ness about North Carolina, while
he does not either explain or
deny his connection with the
fraudulent bonds, out of which he eX-
poets to make another fortune. is a very
Tdvesty of politics in contest for the
control of a great government. Alto
gether, the performance Of Addition,
Division and Silence' on the metropOl-
tan stage is the most amusing kind of a
!arce-a tragedy gone wrong. -Four
congressional districts of this city have
now united on Democratic nominations.
The four are the districts of Con-
Eressmen Cox, Fitch and Stahlnrecker,
and the one now represented by w.
DOurke Cochran, who will be succeeded
by Roswell 2. Flower. Mr.. Flower
would prefer not to accept the nomina-
ion, but pressure is put upon him by
appeals to his patriotism which he will
mrely not resist. Democrats can rest
assured that no districts will be lost to
he party through local dissensiOns, and
hat one will be gained by the re-elec-
ion of Congressman Fitch, who was a
Republican in 1888, but is now an able
champion Of Democracy and tariff re-
