NEW YORK AND INDIANA.
An Eastern Man who Is sure These
states GO Democratic.

AN EaSIeEm M4m W MO - SUI \ nCoG
states 60 Democratic.
There is at the Hollenbeck New
York gentleman who arrived here few
days ago in company with his wife and
other members Of his family. He is a
Democrat and takes lively interest in
politics. Yesterday he called at the
HERALD Office to express his qualification
at finding SO bright and sterling a paper
pleading for the party in this
section. These pleasant things be-
ing said one OF the HERALD
staff entered into conversation as to the
prospects of the campaign. The visitor
says the battle opens most auspiciously
all along the line. The party in
New York is united as it has not
been for many years. He thinks
the placing of Judge Thurman on the
ticket was fine stroke of policy. That
is what has brought all the wings OF
the Democracy in Gotham into the most
enthusiastic accord. Tammany, the
County Democracy, the rank and tile OF
the party in all classes and among all the
masses, stand shoulder to shoulder and
f1aunt the old bandana in breezes OF the
political sky with conscious pride. Thur
man stands with these people as the
embodiment of true Democracy. Not
that Mr.. Cleveland is weak. He is very
strong in New York. His clean,
honest, economical administration is the
theme on all lips. The tourist in ques-
tion does not apprehend any loss of votes
on account of the message on the tariff.
On the contrary, it will gain many from
the Republican camp. All Democrats
do not fully agree on the details OF the
tariff reform movement. But none is
SO bold as to deny that some reform is
necessary. In fact the Republicans in
words concede this. Not honestly, for
they all favor the protected monopolies,
and care nothing for the interests OF Ia
Dor. Their false cry OF Free
Trade had good deal OF effect among
the less well-informed portion Of the
people at first. But as the matter is dis
cussed all people begin to see through
the thin disguise of lies in which the
Republican party is trying to carry on
the campaign. By the time election day
rolls round this will be fully compre-
hended; and many honest Republicans
will vote for what all acknowledge to be
in the direction OF good government and
public interest, conservative revision
of the tariff schedule.
Branching off to the State of Indiana
the eastern man said he was well ac
quainted with many of the public men
in that State. He knew Mr.. Hendricks
we'll, as for two years he had offices in
the same building with the late Vice.
President. He also knows Senator Tur-
pie we'll. The Democrats Of Indiana, he
says, are confident of carrying that
State. Those who thought the placing OF
Governor Gray on the National ticket a
necessary step towards carrying the
State, did not contemplate 80
weak candidate as General Harrison,
as possible by the Republicans. Even
if Gov. Porter be the nominee for guber-
material honors it will not jeopardize In
diana. Harrison's hostility to the labor
interests, and his narrow prejudice
against foreign citizens generally, and
against the German people in particular,
he thinks will lose him great many
votes. The Gresham men are sore over
the disastrous defeat Of their candidate.
and will not take much trouble to elect
the man who beat their favorite. The
interests which combined to nominate
Harrison are not popular. 1t was rail.
road, monopoly, millionaire movement
and the people know it.
