FAVORABLE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
Fx-Postmaster-G General Don NJ Dickinson
came from Michigan last evening. and it Is
! thought he will consult several prominent
! Democrats, ex President Cleveland among the
rest, before he returns. He and the ex.
! President ARE great friends and it Is well
! known that he advocates Mr.. Clevelaud's
nomination for the presidency in 1892
In an interview on the political situation
to-day he said twas too early yet to prognosti-
cate about nominees. On the outlook ut home,
! he said: Il think that Michigan is destined
TO be a Democratic State. We have Demo-
cratic Governor and Democratic. Legislature
now, and the election of the other OIL
GERS shows that Michigan IS Demo-
cratic by 10000 majority: still, even
! if the Republicans should have major
| ity of the entire vote of the State in 1892, we
! will elect enough Democratic electors TO at
! least offset the vote of some OF the new he
publican States. | think that the out
look, not only in Michigan but IN
Wisconsin, is very favorable to the
! Democrats. Wisconsin will certainly go
| Democratic in 1892 The Bohemians IN that
| State who held the balance Of power have
| gone over 10 the Democratic party TO stay,
and that will make the State certain for us at
the next election. Besides, the Farmers Al
| lance movement is pretty sure TO operate IN
! our favor"
SECRETARY BLAINE's CONDITION.
The reports relative to the condition Of the
| health of Secretary Blaine still continue good.
| 1t was stated to-day that the Secretary Will IN
all probability take drive through Central
Park tomorrow When the family will leave
for Washington is still an open question.
