We learn that several Democratic speak
ers at GreenvilIe last Saturday night made
the statement that the Republicans had
given up New Yoik, which would be tan
tamount to the concession that Cleveland
Will be elected. 1t is hardly necessary for
US to say that this was an gorgeous mis-,
take. The Republicans not only do not
surrender New Y oTk, but are confident its
electoral vote VIII be cast for Harrison
and Morton. and that every Northern State
will do likewise, unless it be New Jersey.
The latest intelligence from that State
indicates that it, too, will be found in the
Republican column. The Republican Ma,
tional Committee confidently count OF
every doubtful State. and are hopeful of
Virginia and West Virginia,
