York, probably the best posted politician in
congress, being an editor on the Sun, said:
"The fight in New York depends. in great
measure, upon the labor vote. This vote is
now split in three factions-Georg faction,
which is strong for Cleveland, but will proba-
bly, repudiate Hill; the trade unionists, who
will probably support both Cleveland and Hill
with the New York Typographical union No
in front. As to the socialist faction, they
will probably 20 to the union labor candidate
With good work and a hearty united pull in
New York city, with no trading on local candi-
dates, Cleveland ought to get at least 5000
majority in the state.
81 consider Indiana safe. Harrison's record
among the workingmen will hurt him. Both
candidates for governor have brilliant war
records, but Matson is by far the ablest
speaker. The democrats will hold their own
vote there and must necessarily secure per-
centage from disgruntled republican mechan-
les. They will give them the state.
eve ought to have show in Illinois
Palmer, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor, is extremely popular, and his name
must add great strength to the national ticket.
Representative Wilson, of West Virginia,
the same who made great reputation upon
his recent tariff speech, which was pronounced
the ablest argument for tariff reform made
during the memorable debate, who has just re-
turned from stumping tour throughout the
west, said to TIE CoNsTITUTIoN's correspond
ent today "The political outlook in the west
is very satisfactory indeed. l met great
many people, and had numerous opportunities
TO judge for myself. I spoke at Chicago, at
Racine, and at three different points in Indi-
ana, and found the democracy encouraged, ex-
ceedingly enthusiastic and full of confidence
in tho policy we stand for in this campaign.
l have no doubt in the world that the west is
ripening for the harvest. We may
not reap in this campaign, but
it Is coming surely, and at an
early date. / spoke to immense audiences on
nothing but the tariff. and the crowds mover
seemed to weary of it,"
"How is it in your own state?'
"In West Virginia we fully understand the
republican party are preparing for vigorous
campaign and that they expect much assis-
lance outside the state. Our being forewarned
of this will prove to be our safety in the fight.
We have sure majority in the state for the
result in 1884 showed that our people cannot be
purchased, an additional form of bulwark will
be found in the fact, that we shall shortly
have an organization superior to any we have
yet had. West Virginia is not a doubtful
state"
Then you believe Cleveland will win?"
Certainly. His election is undoubtedly as

Representative John j. O'Neil, chairman OF
the house committee on labor said:
'There is no question about Clevelands
election. lie is stronger now than in 1884. The
laboring men see that he is for them and that
he will undoubtedly make very large gains in
the west and northwest in the labor vote. He
will carry Indiana without doubt by much
larger majority than in 1884, and think it
highly probable that he will carry Illinois on
account of the immense gains he will make in
the labor vote thore. He will get three-fourths
of that VOTE and with it 1 cannot see why the
democrats should fail to carry Illinois. New
York, OF course is certain. You may say for
me that Cleveland is as certain to be elected
as Georgia is to 20 democratic"
