very hard to bring out boom for Hill,

TIE CLEVELAND BOOM.
GLOW about the independent vote?"
"ln 1884 there were many shrewd.
careful, quiet mon, who were not politi-
clans In any sense of the word, who
voted for Blaine. Among this class
there existed decided feeling whether
it was proper and safe to elect Demo-
crat to the Presiden ial chair on account
OF tho financial and business outlook.
Many of this class who did not like
Blaiue voted for him. Now they see
that the country is safe, and this fact
will largely increase Cleveland's vote
among what old Governor Tilden used
to call the independent votes. On the
other hand, Cleveland will lose some
votes i'll the Eastern States owing to the
tariff question. 1t will be a close fight
in Connecticut, but | think we will win.
As to Indiana, | am in doubt, as l know
very little about that State"
RANDALL AND THE GERMANS.
GLOW about Sam Randall and his
| friends?"
"Randall is all right. He and Scott
are having a personal fight in their own
State. However, Randall is as good a
Democrat as lives i'll the Republic, and u
sound sensible man."
"What party will got the German vote
this year in New York;"
| 'Iho liquor question in my State will
| give 20, 600 votes to the democratic ticket.
Those Germans who have always voted
the Republican ticket arc now with our
party. They think that drinking glass
OF bccr, oven on Souday, is not a crime,
although the Republican party thinks
So"

man. l know him ~ we'll as l did
GorcnOr Tilden. He is ono of the few
men in this world who would not do
what he Thought to be wrong 20 DO elected
President. Throughout the length and
breadth Of the land the people admire
his pluck and Independence, and think
well of him. If there was not the hurral
and hurry bur y of campaign, if ther,
were no brass bands nor speeches, ht
would receive an unprecedented vote
from the common people. 1t is true lie
makes mistakaes. Everybody does that,
but the wonder is that he has not made
moro mistakes than he has"
TUE NEW YORI! PRESS.
"What New York newspapers will
support Cleveland?"
"Iho World, the Times, the Star, the
News, the Post the Herald, and probaly
the SIM. Brother Dana may mourn for
a month or SO, but he will come around
all right. The newspapers of New York
are great, power, and then again they
arc not. Look at tho recent Fellows

eyes, all the halls will stand straight
in the coming fight. There will be no
trouble, and New York State will give
Grover Cleveland II big vote. Blaine
and Cleveland will be the two opposing
candidates. and i'll my opinion the man
from Maine will be defeated the secol
time.
