Cheering News from Leading
Democratic Sources,
INDICATING CERTAIN SUCCESS.
If There Was Any Doubt in the
Early Campaign.

ucluocIaIS were 10 DC round, SlpcG the pres
dents fisheries message was sent
otherwise but in terms of the ut
most confidence. The message is
considered the very best and wisest political
move ever made by Mr.. Cleveland or any
other president. BY it he took the wind
completely out Of the republican sails, and
has turned what appeared to be defeat into
certain victory.
MR. CLEVELAND CONFIDENT.
Even Mr.. Cleveland is now himself
confident of victory. Mr.. Cleveland is too
wise to talk on this subject to correspond
ents for publication, but I have it from
senator who is probably on more intimate
relations with the president than anyone
outside the cabinet that he feels assured of
success in November.
That senator says Mr.. Cleveland is per-
fectly satisfied with the work of the cam
paign committee, and that while he is not
jubilant, as it is not his nature to be, he feels
cheerful and has no doubt but success will
be his. He, however, realizes that victory
is not to be achieved without activity and
hard work on the part OF his friends.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATES.
While there are many members who
speak of carrying some of the northwestern
states, such talk is not generally INDUCED
in by the leaders. The leaders count on
carrying, besides the solid south, New York
and Indiana, or New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, or perhaps all four. However,
New York and Indiana alone, or New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut mean victory.
In Indiana they expect close and bitter
fight, with the chances slightly in favor of
the democrats.
In those four states almost every cent of
the campaign fund will be expended. Such
states as Illinois, Michigan Mennesota and
Wisconsin, which are considered doubtful,
win be left in the hands Of the state demo-
cratic committees. The national demo-
cratic committee is determined to use
every effort in the four states of New York,
New Jersey Connecticut and Indiana.
The republicans, however, will also con-
centrato their efforts and money in those
states and will make q mean and bitter fight
for each.
THREE COMING EVENTS.
Besides the presidents fisheries message
there are three more things to occur in the
next ten days which arc expected to add
materially to his chances Of success.
The first OF these will be his letter of ac-
ceptance to be issued within the next few
days; the second the reconciliation Of David
i. Hill for governor Of New York, and the
third the visit of the told Roman" to New
York next week.
Judge Thurman's visit win undoubtedly
have much effect on the old line democracy
of New York. which has always admired
him.
In regard to the denomination Of I{ill in
New York the indications now are that this
will be. The old politicians say his nomina-
ton will add an Immense amount Of strength
to the democratic ticket in New York state.
TIM CAMrBELIis VIEW.
Congressman Tim Campbell who re-
turned this morning from New York, says
if Hill is nominated Cleveland win carry
the state by G0,000 majority.
Here is what some of the leading mem
bers of congress have to say about the stu
alton. Both Speaker Carlisle and Mr.. Mills
were away making campaign speeches, but
both expressed themselves before leaving rs
confident of democratic success.
SUNSET cox.
Representative S. S. Cox returned from
New York today in high epirits. He is
looking as well as he did when lie came
back from Turkey. He is sln-burnt from
seashore exposure and Is in high spirits AS
to the outlook Of the campaign he is san
guine.
"New York Is all right" he said. "Thore
viii be no trouble about Cleveland's CARRYING
New York. The outlying states, New Jersey
and Connecticut, must be looked after. ] do
not know how 1t is there. People have been
talking about some antagonsm TO Mr.. Cleye-
land among the New York democrats
In the lower part Of the city, with which am
somewhat associated, they all are right for
Cleveland and they are straight on tho tariff
rafO no
than lots of people who think they know
great deal. They see into the question clearly
enough. The Hebrews and Germans under
stand the figures. They calculate pretty close
for themselves, and they are not to be led
astray by humhug. have not the least doubt
about Cleveland carrying the state"
"IIas his retaliation message helped much?"
/ asked.
at was pleasing to those who were dissatis-
fled because Of the cry that the administration
was friendly to England. There were not
many Of these That talk don't amount TO
anything"
az don't like the term retaliation" he con
tinued. Not IN the sense Of an eye for an eye
and a tooth for n tooth. ! don't believe in
biting the other fellows nose Off because he
bit yours. What the president proposes Is not
retaliation. IL relates to our own laws which
we have right 20 enact, repeal and amend
without asking permission. IL we are accom-
modating 10 q fellow and he don't act right we
need not accommodate him any more. That
is not retaliation. IF n man violate your hog
pitaity you can shut yourself mp in your own
house and leave him on the other side Of the
door. That's IT, II is not retaliation"
Mr.. Cox expressed the opinion that Mr..
Blaine was not aiding Mr.. Harrison much by
hrs speeches.
MH. BRECKENRIDGE, or IKE rTuCRY.
Mr.. Breckinride. Of Kentucky, says he fesls
perfectly confident of the election of Cleveland
and Thurman In November
Tie SAYS New York and New jersey are GER
tain 10 90 democratic, and everything now
points 20 democratic success in Indiana and
Connecticut. In fact lie believes Indiana al
most certain for Cleveland. lie says the pres
idcnt has added very materially 20 bis strength
BY his fisheries message. but even without 10
the democrats with tariff reform as tho issue
against the republicans with protection would
have been successful IN the November cleo
ton.
