all classes who remember what the fate
Of free labor always has been under the
domination of the former slave oligarchy
which controls the Democratic party; from
Irish Americans who do not believe in
British rule in this country and who are
not willing to accept treaty which would
permit Great Britain to arrest Boyle
O'Reilly,. fol-. instance, in, Eng
States against the tyranny of British rule,
and for his denunciation in the New York
Herald, July q, 1885, of the draft of the
draft of the Cleveland extradition treaty,
which would place in British hands
power over an American citizen which the
United States has never yet been willing
to concede to any country. 1t is the opln-
ion of the best judges that the Irish vote
for Harrison will be almost, If not quite as
large as the Irish vote for Blaine. Be
sides, the increase in registration Is be-
Heved, for many reasons, to be more TO the
advantage of the Republicans than of the
Democrats. The sons of many hundreds
of soldiers have attained their majority
since the election of 1884, and the canvass
has shown that in the great majority OF
cases the son votes as his father voted and
both will vote as the father shot.
Stripping the huge tablets Of their tech
nicalities, therefore heRepubliean:com
tee claims that the Democratic una jority in
New York and Brooklyn, up to High
bridge. will not exceed $1,000 and with
that majority, on the admission of the
Democrats as to the certain Republican
majority above the bridge, the Republican
success of the state of New York is as
sured.
The minimum present estimate of the
Republican leaders at the Republican
headquarters is that Harrison and Morton
Z a al Of tar
of New York by Is, 900 majority. The ma
jority is not claimed for Warner Miller.
Estimates differ widely as to the differ
ence in the vote of Harrison and Morton
and that of Miller; but it is expected that
the Republican candidate for governor
will run behind his ticket. Some
think that Miller'S vote will be 10000
less than that of Harrison; others place it
at 5000; and the last estimate of the differ
ence is the lowest yet heard This is not
to be inferred as indicating that the Re
publican managers have arrange to sacri-
flee Warner Miller, or to enter into any
IDEALS" 1t can be stated upon the best
authority that while several propositions
have been received by the Republican
leaders to make deals" which would be
to the benefit Of the national ticket, all
propositions of that nature have been re-
jected, or, to state it more accurately,
have never been officially considered.
There Will be some trading, but 1t Will be
the trading of individuals and not
organizations. On the other hand,
Miller will receive a certain support which
will not go to Harrison. 1t has recently
been ascertained that he will have a very
considerable vote of temperance Demo
Gratis among the farmers, who, neverthe
less, will vote for Cleveland for president.
The estimates upon which the Repub-
licans made their calculation assumes that
SO per cent of the persons who have regis
tered will cast their votes; and that the
percentage of Republican gains to the
whole increase in the registration is 40
per cent.
The visitor who goes from the Repub-
lican to the Democratic headquarters will
observe a sharp contrast, if he is ac
quainted with the history of the persons
connected with the two committees. The
Republican headquarters are on Fifth ave-
nue. and present a very cheerful look. The
persons in charge are citizens who who are
giving their service to the party, and re-
ceive no aid from the federal government.
The Democratic headquarters are on
Twenty nineth street, not far from Broad
way They are located in one of those
conventional red brown stone front which
to greater extent formerly than now,
were the distinguishing characteristics of
the monotonous architecture of the great
metropolis.
