THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

New York Letter, July II.
Democrats who count on Republican
diSaffection on the Pacific Coast will fine
they are nursing delusion. This is the
emphatic testimony of men now in this
city who have spent their lives in Cali.
fornia, 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" of
which Eastern Democrats are SO much
concerned.
1t seems apparent from the evidence
of citizens who have just come from the
Northwest and the far West that the Re
publican ticket will make large gains in
those sections in November. Judge NJ.
NJ. Estee, of California, when met yes
terday at the Murray Hill Hotel, said:
California will unquestionable go Re
publican this fall by at least 10000 ma
jority. The Chinese issue is not an ele-
ment in the canvass. HarriSOn's record
is all right, and is entirely satisfactory 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 sys-
tenn of restrictive laws. Harrison is en-
tirely satisfactory to US, and he will get
the electoral vote of our State"
c. c. Powning, of Nevada, said: NE
vada will give larger per centage of Re-
publican votes in proportion to its popu-
lation than any other State in the Union.
could say great deal more about Ne
vada, but think this much should suf-
flee to reassure the minds of our friends
in the East"
r. S. Norval, of Nebraska, expressed
these views: "The Republican party is
growing with steady strides in the North
west. 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 Republicans carried
Nebraska by $4,000, but this year, you
may safely bet, we will have 10000 ma
jority. The election in Oregon a month
ago gives an idea of how the tide is run
ming in the Northwest. In the South we
are doing well, too. We have an excel
lent fighting chance this year in Virginia,
North Carolina, and Tennessee. Itlooks
all around like a decided Harrison and
Morton victory"
The condition of things in General
Harrisons State was thus dissected by
Sames NJ. Huston, of Indiana: Having
carried the State in 1886 under unfavor-
able circumstances in an off year, we have
a right to feel confident of success this
year. Yet we do not mean to rest on our
oars, but will make as vigorous fight as
if 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 General Harrison is
man of wonderful popularity; so we have
a right to feel sanguine."
Colonel John c. Dougherty, of Tennes-
see, is hopeful of Republican victory in
his State. He said: We regard the ticket
as very sto ong in Tennessee, and know it
is growing in strength every day. Very
many Democrats are dissatisfied with Mr..
Cleveland's ideas on the tariff, and this is
so with the young men, who do
their own thinking and are not bound by
party chains. Tennessee is rated a Dem
Ocratic State, but think we will change
its complexion this fall. Four years ago
Cleveland carried the State by only 5000,
md this is not very heavy majority to
cut down. 1 do not pledge you that we
shall carry the State, but we have the
iveliest kind of fighting chance"
