CAUCUS and settle the speakership right
here. All the candidates are present or ac-
counted for"

party would win," he said. "rhe cam
paign is being carried on with vigor that
is good to see. Massachusetts, properly be-
longs to the Democratic party, or at any
rate 1t 10 coming around to that position.
1t is no longer Z sure republican state 1t
| is a doubtful state.n
Would 1t be doubtful state in national
election" Mr.. Mills was asked.
'Why, believe Grover Cleveland would
| be sure to carry it." he said. There is in
Massachusetts, large number OF independ-
ems voters-promlnent men, who are not
afraid to vote as they please. They are
coming to the Democrat party. The tend
ency in Massachusetts is our way.

speeches as did in the Bay state. Camp

man has for years, He has been making a
magnificent campaign. The opposition to

away"
Mr.. Crisp corroborated Mr.. Mills as to the
nature of the campaign in Ohio Camp
bell has been making most magnificent
fight" he said He has developed as a
campaigner until be stands az one of the
most prominent in the country. Few such
campaigns as the one i'll Ohio have been
seen in this country. 1t is a magnificent
battle"

Mr.. Tarsney said he had been in Iowa
making some speeches before be came to
New York. There was "A peculiar situation
there. The tariff and prohibition questions

being fought harder along the tariff line.
The liquor question was d side issue. Mr..

ing of presidential politics Everybody is
singing. Wait Till the Clouds Roll By"
Congressman Reilly said he could add one
TO the list Of states where vigorous cam
paigns were being carried on. While there
were only minor officers to DO chosen in
Pennsylvania there was a pretty fight in
progress. 1t was hard work to fight against
the tremendous republican odds there, but
the issues, coupled with the showing of cor
ruption among republicans. we're helping
wonderfully. If Philadelphia would sN ing
around for decent administration Of public
affairs the remainder of the sta'e would
complete the Transformation scene. Mr..
Reilly went TO Sing Sing last nignt 60 make
speech IN the interests Of Mr.. Flower.
