rivalry to see whether Thurman or Harri-

G. 2. Thorpe, secretary Of the Clinton

greeting when that place was reached.

explaining that lack OF time would not
permit speech, but some chat was in

weather, the crops and politics, and one
OF the crowd gave an excellent imitation
Of a rooster growing as the train pulled
out amidst laughter and mixed cheers.

the depot to see the judge, but he was at
lunch and did not appear; neither did he
appear at the stations along the way, there
being no formal demonstrations.

our close contests, and this great and
good Democrat never was heard TO raise
his voice single time. But now we see
how he loves the people and the Demo-
cratic party. In Shelby and many
other counties he advises against
primaries, because his gang had control
OF the conventions, and when some
OF the people called for pri-
mary they were showed under and a
primary defeated. He and his friends
called that Democracy in those counties.
In Montgomery he finds that the commit
tee have decided against holding pri-
mary, because 1t has not been the custom,
because Harris and Atkins have not the
right to exclude all other Democrats, and
Isham G. Harris, the anti-primary man in
Shelby and Maury, comes here and de-
mands primary. Democrats Of Mont

THE VOTE OF NEW YORK CITY

THE VOTE or NEW YORK CITY.
The New York Herald, which has been
hustling the Democrats Of New York City,
and pointing out the dangers that menaces
them from inside as well as outside OF the
party, says that victory docs not depend
upon money, but votes; upon the rank
and file, looking sharp, working hard and
voting unitedy as ono man. But there's
the rub. Are the Democrats united on
the National ticket? They were not in
1881, when Grant was then, az now, the
1ammany candidate for Mayor and Grace
was, as Hewitt is now, the County Democ.
racy candidate for that office. The COM
bined vote Of the two candidates was then
$4,000, OF which Cleveland only got l33,.
00O difference Of 80, 600 votes, which came
within l,0E votes OF defeating him. But
this year both the County and Tammany
Democracy swear allegiance to Cleveland
and both declare thoy will give him every
one Of their votes. So also, the working
men who voted for Ben Butler will vote
for him, and 1t Is predicted by tho know
ing ones that Cleveland will cross the
Harlem River with anywhere from $1,000
to 1900 majority North Of that river the
Republicans count on from 10000 to TO-
600 majority, so that II the Democrats Of
tie counties south OF it--New York,
Kings, Queens, Suffolk and Richmond
poll anything like the increased vote indi-
Gated by the increased registration, Glove
land ought 20 receive from 20, 900 to $4,000
majority. In 1884 these counties voted

what Conironts Democrats and WHAT
They VIII DO 60 Overcome It.

Country appointments for the Demo
cratic legislative candidates have now been
disposed Of.
Yesterday was assigned to Dexter, in
the Ninth district, and tonight the sched-
ule reads, Raleigh, o'clock pm"
Uniavorable weather has prevented the
billing Of many Of these appointments,
while supposed carelessness on the part OF
some Of the candidates has caused their
absence from others. Altogether, though,
IL may be said truthfully that country citi-
zens have been pretty well moved on tho
political issues and situation. How IL will
hold out can be determined only by q
scrutiny Of the returns after the election.
Tomorrow night begins the crusade
against Rcpublcanism in the city. Tho
Ninth ward will have the distinction Of
receiving first attention. Speaking will
take place ut the corner OF Greenlaw and
Second streets, at $50 O'Clock pm. All
the candidates are expected to be on hand,
and perhaps few gifted outsiders will DO
called upon TO lend helping hand in the
illumination act. On Saturday night one
OF the strongholds OF would-be and cx.
pect-to.bc Senator l.. Cooney will be in
vaded. viz: the Eighth ward, speaking ut
the old Poplar street market house at 1880
o'clock pm.
One TACT has been determined by tho
skirmish thus far carried on by the Dem
ocrats, which IL, that the fight mus, be
made in the city. Working on this basis
all the forces will be concentrated here
next week. Congressman James Pne-
Ian, Elector Harry Hill, the candidates.
the committeeman, the clubs, the extra
local speakers, aud probably visiting
speaker or two-all will pour hot shot into
the dangerous looking ranks Of the com.
mon enemy.
There is a disposition ON the part OF
some 10 rely IN measure for success ON
the internal wrangling and strife among
local Republicans. This may yet prove a
delusion and snare that will lead the DEM
ocrats on a cruise up Salt river. The dis
missal OF Banks from the ticket, and tho
substitution Of Bell, means more Doodle 10
boost that ticket Bell has Doodle, and
his managers have the influence 10 extract
IL from his pocket for "thc good OF tho

There were no important turns or trans.
actions yesterday, nor arc there likely 10

has settled down 10 n stubborn, deter

are going TO use all the trickcry and cash
at their command. Every string that can
be pulled TO advantage Is going 10 DO
