Every Indication OF n Victory Tor Harrison
and Morton.
New YoRE, July ll.-Democrats who
count on Republican disafection on
the Pacific coast by reason OF action
taken on the Chinese question by Gen
eral Benjamin Harrison are nursing a
delusion. This is the emphatic declara-
ton made by men in this city who have
spent their lives in California, Nevada
and neighboring States, and who have
their information from the very best
sources. These men say there is not
word heard in California about General
Harrison's "Chinese record" which
gives so much concern to Eastern Demo-
cratic stump orators. ltseems apparent
from the evidence OF citizens who have
Just come from the Northwest and the
far West that the Republican ticket will
make large gains in these sections in
November. Judge Morris NJ. Estee, of
California, when met yesterday ut the
Murray Hill Hotel, said:
california will unQuestionably go
Republican this fall by at least 10000
majority. The Chinese issue is not an
element in the canvass. Harrison's
record is all right and is entirely salts.
factory to Californians. He voted
against law which was at the time in
violation Of treaty stipulations, and in
doing SO his course was upright and
honorable. His vote was cast in favor
OF the present system OF restriction laws.
Harrison is entirely satisfactory to us,
and he will have the electoral vote Of
our State"
G. c. Powning, OF Nevada, said:
Nevada will give larger percentage
OF Republican votes in proportion to its
population than any other State in the
Union. l could say great deal more
about Nevada, but | think this much
should suffice to reassure the minds Of
our friends in the East"
r. S. Norval, OF Nebraska, gave ex-
preston to these views: "The Republi-
can party is growing with steady strides
in the Northwest. The people OF that
section will have nothing to do with
free trade, or any doctrine that tends in
that direction. Four years ago the Re-
publicans carried Nebraska by 2S,000,
but this year, you may safely bet, we
will have 10000 majority. The election
in Oregon few weeks ago gives an idea
OF how the tide is runningi in the North
west. In the South We are doing well,
too. We have an excellent fighting
chance this year in Virginia, West Vir.
ginia, North Carolina ana Tennessee. 1t
looks all around like decided Harrison
and Morton Victory"
The condition OF things in General
Harrison's State was thus disseCted by
James NJ. Huston, OF Indiana: "HRv-
ing carried the State in 1886 under un-
favorable circumstances in an off year
we have a right to feel confident OF sue
cess this year. Yet we do not mean to
rest on our oars, but make as vigorous a
fight us il we were in desperate battle.
Nothing will be left undone, and no
mistakes will be made. The party is
perfectly united in the State, and Gen.
Harrison is man OF wonderful popu.
larity, so we have a right to be san.

nessee, is hopeful OF q Republican vic

see, and it is growing in strength every
day. A great many Democrats are dis.
satisfied with Cleveland's ideas on the
tariff, and this is especially so with the
young men, who do their own thinking
and are not bound by party chains
Tennessee is rated as Democratic State
but think we can change its complex
ion this fall. Four years ago Cleveland
carried the State by only 1900, and this
is not n very heavy majority to cut
down. l do not pledge you that We
shall carry the State, but We have tht
