AMONG The POLITICIANS.

Dwight Lawrence Is regarded a among the mose
careful and conservative OF the Republicans who
continually studying public feeling during important
political campaigns, and making estimates OF the
final result. He mas reached conclusions as yet
so far as actual figures concerned, and that
trustworthy calculations ever be made until
the registration in the large cities IS completed But
he thinks the outward Indications favorable 10 Re-
publican success although, so far as the issue OF the
tariff IS concerned. II IS almost impossible to get at
the actual views of men. The enthusiasm and har-
mony are certainly with the Republicans and the
democrats are far their local, State and National
tickets concerned, most conspcuously inharmoni.
Gus, and there Is genuine enthusiasm for either
Cleveland or Thurman, while bitterness Is largely the
element displayed by their followers. They do noe
love him the more because they heartily hate the
enemies he has made at Washington and among the
Mugwumps.
The best informed Democrat in Brooklyn. the ono
having the largest machinery for canvassing during
a campaign. is equally in doubt as 10 the ehcct of
the tariff agitation on the actual vote. he thinks
there is no possible means of correctly estimating
the feeling this point. But he is perfectly clear
sbout the effect Of the dissensions in bis party aud

auchn IS said conceded that the detection OF
John Y. McEane means a Democratic loss OF fully

The indications of this great lack OF harmony
among the Democrats are many and significant
There is much personal bitterness between Chairman

nominated NJ Hill It is reported that after the

emphatic In their predictions of Republican success
Walker Blaine said that the demonstrations In Indiana
yesterday and tie day before had surpassed those

The awakening is Marvellous he said. We have
never seen the like In New-York the same state
Of things is to be found. -Four years ago. the Re
publican ticket received the support of a largo
Irish vote In NewYork City. General Harrison will
receive all of these and the gains in various quarters
are clearly discerIibc."

Tho game at Washington Park, Brooklyn, yester-
day, played in spite of the fact that the grounds

whether a game could be played, over 1000 pcorlo
were present The homo nine won, and by the
victory regain second place IN the American Asso-
citation The onookers were highly pleased at
the result, and left the grounds in a condition TO
wager almost anything that Brooklyn had the great
est team on earth
Owing to the condition Of the grounds, scientific
playing was almost out of the question The errors
of the visiting players were costly. ard assisted
materially in giving the game 10 tho home club. In
the sixth inning when the Brooklyn men scored
five runs and tie match. the Athletic players
did everything they could TO ceiay the game, hoping
tO have the score revert the fifth inning. sfovey
refused 20 to the bat in the last half OF the
inning, and had to be declared out By the umpire.
Umpire Goldsmith did nor give satisfaction, making
many mistakes. His blundcrs however, were about
evenly divided and did not hurt one club more than
the other. The score follows:
