Drift of Political opinion.

Michigan, is correctly informed, the
prospect of Democratic success in that
State is very safely assured. The Pro-
hibitionists, according to Mr.. Tarsney,
will prove powerful allies of the Demo
Gratis in the coming Presidential contest,
and it is through the large vote polled by
the temperance people that the Demo-
Gratis expect to succeed.
The Prohibitionists, Mr.. Tarsney says,
are greatly dissatisfied with the policy
pursued by the Republican party
of late years. 1t has repeatedly
promised to aid them and as
repeatedly failed to keep it's
promises. From the Democrats the
Prohibitionists have asked nothing, nor
do they expect anything; but they are
determined to defeat the Republicans in
this campaign if possible, and to this end
will place in the field full State as we'll
as the National ticket. In Michigan
especially they are strong and well Or
ganized, and in Mr.. Tarsney's judgment
will poll upwards of 10000 votes.
In the evenly balanced state OF the
two great parties in Michigan half that
number OF Prohibitionists will give the
State to the Democrats by fair majority.
More than this, Mr.. Tarsney believes
that the Democrats will gain two addi-
tional Congressman next autumn, which
will give them the majority of the repre-
sentatives from that State.-[ Washington

Secretary Boyle, of the Cigarmakers'
Union, when questioned about Harrison
last evening, said: "The principal plank
of our union is of course the Anti-C Chi
nese plank, regardless Of other political
issues. The members have not as yet
taken any definite action; but they are
making inquiries into the past record OF
Mr.. Harrison, and when they satisfy
themselves that he is opposed to their
interests you may expect to hear from
them"
President Schober, of the Furniture
Workers Union, states that the general
opinion in mis- union is that Harrison is
no friend Of the workingman, and for
that reason they will not support him.
A. Fuhrmann, Secretary of the Brew
ers' Executive Committee and delegate
to the Brewers Convention, which meets
next month in Chicago, said that Har-
rison's record is well known to
the workingmen. "You may be
sure that he will be strong
ly opposed by the brewers" said
he. There is no question about it. On
account of his record on the Chinese
question and his action during the rail-
road strike he will have no pull among
workingmen. The Chinese evil is a very
practical issue with laborers of the Pacific
Coast. Harrison the lawyer and Morton
the banker will make a team represent
ing two classes who, as a rule have
been hostile to the interest of labor. The
Central Labor Union of New York has
resolved to support no political party
until clean labor ticket enters the field. !"
VIM. Carey member of the Finance
Committee of the English-speaking brew
ers, said that In his opinion Harrison's
proc Chinese record would seriously
weaken him among the workipgmen Of
this Coast. He had intended to vote for
Blaine if nominated, but now he would
vote for Cleveland in preference to Har-
rison. Many of his associates shared
his views. -[San Francisco Interview.
