SENATOR BROWN TALKS.


poets for democratic success in this campaign
are now very bright. For a time there was
more or less confusion and disagreement but
the party, seems now to be harmonious
| and i'll their grand purpose to succeed
democrats agree to disagree on the disputed

support OF the ticket. think the Presidents
late retaliation message has given good send
off to the campaign, and thus strengthened
him with the people. and especially with the
Irish VOTE
"Again, i think the democrats will be-
strengthened in several of the doubtful states
by the strength of the prohibition ticket,
though not so intended by those who control
the movement. General Fisk, the prohibition
candidate, is man of good character, and has
been republican leader of influence in New
Jersey. lie will carry considerable vote in
New York. New Jersey and Connecticut and
| think he will got three republicans for each
democrat who supports him. This will weaken
the republicans and aid the democrats in the
campaign. lnthe tariff differences among the
republicans the long discussion of the question
has probably made changes either way; but as
the campaign becomes more interesting and
exciting, the democrats, without regard to
their opinion on the tariff, will generally raly
to the support Of the democratic ticket.
While the republicans will support the repub-
lican ticket with zeal and energy, [ believe
the result will be, as already stared, demo-
cratic victory on the first Tuesdayin November
next.
81 regard the election as one OF vast imnor-
lance, especially SO to the southern people, as
long as the bloody shirt is Haunted in our faces
by the republican senators, orators and news
papers. AS long as we are constantly threat
ened with the race issue, ithe white people in
the south may differ in opinion on economic
and other questions, but they cannot afford to
divide. Tho race question to the people of the
south is paramount and oyeIshadoWs every
other question. On other questions we viii
agree TO disagree-on the vital issue we will
stand together as long as the issue is pressed
upon us. When the republicans cease to make
that issue, we can divide upon other questions
but not till then.

coded to the states of Georgia and South Car
DINA as fully as tho like right is conceded to
New York and Connecticut. When chat oonces-
sion is made in good faith, the solid south can
safely divide on the tariff and other like ques-
tlons. I'LL thon VIC can differ in questions,
but cannot afford TO divide.
but as the democratic party comedies tothe
fullest extent our just claims to the maIiage-
ment of our own affairs, while the leaders of
the republican party deny this it is our duty to
stand with and support the democratic party
While the race question, as already stated, is
vital, our own race must see <to
it that the rights of the col
ored race are respected and that they
have the fullest measure Of their legal rights
constantly guaranteed by the just and reason-
able conduct of the white race towards them.
We must extend equal and even-handed jus
tice TO the coored people of the south, but we
cannot afford to submit to their dictation or
domination"

Senator Colquitt said: "There has been no
time since Mr.. Cleyeands denomination when
the prospects of his election were not consd-
cred favorable Some weeks ago there was a
feeling OF doubt and dscouragement which
generally prevailed among democrats, and vet
without any reason being assigned for it. Re
Gently, however, these doubts have given away
and now there is q universal feeling of hope
and animation.
"Ths change Of sentiment Is owing, | have

Major bacon Says the Outlook Is Favorable
New YORK, September 1.-The Constitution,
Atlanta, Ga. Democratic sentiment in this
city and around their several headquarters
shows a feeling Of strong confidence in the
party ssuccess, but confidence will not interfere
with efficient work along the whole line The
feeling was never better in the city and state OF
New York for the democratic party than at
the present. All former divisions have practi-
cally disappeared. The reception Of Thurman

portant political event which has occurred
here for many years. All organizations are
cooperating in the effort TO make it a success.
There has been decided accession Of conf
dence among the democrats since the publca-
ton Of the presidents message on the fisheries
question That Is conceived to be MASTER
stroke Of political aud patriotic policy
Reports from Indiana are favorable. The
democrats have never felt other than certain
that they would carry the state in spite of tho
local pride cry Their organization is
the most perfect they have bad

and many things TO show an &c esslon gof
strength. In New Jersey the campaign is ac-
tive and democratic confidence strong. Earnest
hopes arc entertained Of carrying Michigan
and Wisconsin, and the campaign viii DO
pushed actively in the west.
The outlook at present is considered i'm
mensely better than ut tho same time four
years ago, while the republicans apparently.
have no special reserve cards to play.
