HARRISON ALL RIGHT.

New York sure for the Republican Ticket
Every Northern State win wheel into Line fer
HsrrisOn and Morton.
Major T. II, Cayanaugh, formerly of
Kansas. now of Olympia, w. T., has
been travelling IN New York and the
eastern states, and the Seattle Post,
upon his return to that place, publishes
the following interview which shows
that Mr.. Cavanaugh sized up the
situation about right as we understand
it:
Harrison is all right. I predict
that the Republicans will carry every
northern state, and we have at lea st
even chances of Virginia and West
Virginia. You never saw such uni
New York. There are no more half
breeds, stalwarts, featherheads or
Mugwumps. They are Republicans,
and they are going in to win The
Democrats. on the contrary, are badly
split up. Cleveland is opposing Hill
tooth and toe-nail for denomination
for governor. He knows that Hill will
knife him at every opportunity. Even
the party papers are split up and the
fight is from such selfish motives that
it is all the bitterer. The Republican
majority in New York will not be less
than % 900 and it may reach 80, 200. /
predict that the Democrats will not go
out of New York City with more than
IL, 900 majority. The New York Re
publicans have buried all past differ
ences and settled down to business.
They have all come together and there
is no such thing Us diSaIfecLiun. They
mean to win. They have got things
fixed to carry the state election, too.
Ex-senator Warner Miller is booked
for the goVernorship, eX-Mayor SchrOe-
der, of Brooklyn, for lieutenant govern
or, and General Joseph b. Carr. of
Troy, for secretary of state. This is
the best combination have ever seen.
Warner Miller is very strong man
and all of the mugwump papers includ-
ing Harper's Weekly, the Times, Mail
and Express and Commercial Adver-
tiser have served notice that they will
support him against Hill. Mr.. Schroe-
der has a good record and is very pop
ular; especially with the Germans:
General Carr would pull the balance of
the ticket through anyway. He is one
| of the most popular men in the state
and was the only Republican elected
at the time Cleveland went in with
such a phenomenal majority. The tar
| if question is of course, the all-abs0rb-
ing issue.
In the manufacturing centers like
Troy the Republicans will sweep every
thing. The people are not going to
vote so much for parties this year as
for their homes. l made the trip from
New York to Buffalo with a well in
formed Democrat and he said he was
satisfied that New York would go Re-
publican by 1000 judging from the
sentiment of the people through the
portion where we Travelled, even if all
of the balance of the state voted as it
did in 'S4.
Connecticut and New Jersey will go
Republican. The leading hat manu-
| facturer in Connecticut told me that
in his city alone the tariff issue would
change enough votes to throw the State
for the Republicans.
Congressman Stahlnecker, of New
York, has an interest in hair manu-
featuring establishment, at Newburg
which he told me gave him revenue
of about $I2, 900 year. l asked him
what he would do if the Mills bill pass
ed? We'll, we'i just pull up stakes
and move our plant to Holland. We
can be IN operation again within three
months, and can sell goods here just as
cheaply as now. The tariff, in nut
sIo1l, is the difference in wages abroad
and in America. The cheaper wages
in Holland would much more than
make up the cost of shipment to this
country. 1t is not a pleasant thing to
contemplate, the driving of American
manufacturers abroad, but that's what
! it will come to if we get free trade
Morton is a very popular man in
New York. He is public spirited and
able and has an especially strong hold
on the affections of the Irish. Several
years ago he sent ship load OF provis-
ions to the sufferers in the emerald
isle. Cleveland philanthropy thus far
has amounted to the sending of $40 to
| the Charleston sufferers.
''All this talk about odds being offer
ed on Cleveland in the east is false. 1t
started in this way: a Democratic
club in New York made the statement
that it had S25, 600 to place on Cleve-
lands election against $4,000. Men
| offered to take the bet at once, but the
club wanted to put up S12 900 or so
against 200 as forfeit, the balance
to be deposited the day before election.
| a leading BOOKSELLER then said if $685.
100 was more than they wanted to bet,
to make it Sl2, 900 or whatever they
wanted, and he would cover it. The
scheme was simply a bluff. AS l said
at first, Harrison is all right and you
can stake your pile on it.
