DBMORALIzBD ORGANIZATION,
Especial Correspondencel


The Democrats of this city have |
gotten themselves into terrible state Of |
Generalization. Their organization is
disrupted through factional wrangling |
and jealousies among the leaders |
While Harrity has been in Harrisburg |
running the Pattison campaign in the |
state, his enemies nave been secretly !
scheming to clip his wings here at !
home. Republicans are iubilaut over
the prospects for election day While !
their organization has been getting
stronger every day and interest has been
aroused among independent Republicans
in favor of both the state and city
nominees, the Democracy has all the
while been going to the dogs. The out
look is for at least 10000 majority for
the Republican state candidates
Harrity has had corps of harmon
izers going from ward to ward in a des-
perate effort to straighten out his or
ganization. His reports get worse every
| time he returns to town. He sees ahead

cratic state ticket got when Boyer car
Tied this city by over 40, 600 majority for
/ state treasurer. The combined iuflu-
ence Of the following of Congressman
| McAleer in the old Randall district, and
| the disaifected friends Of eE-SecretaIy
! Stenger and Judge Gordon, is arrayed
! against his plans Efforts to harmouize
McAleer have been in vain. The Har.
/ rjty men cannot go near either Gordon
or Stenger, With this state of affairs
confronting them, the Harrity men,
| who style themselves the regulars, have
( been going about tow wedding out men
from the ward committees whom they
suspect of treachery to the party
candidates. This has only served
to intensity the feeling. In some wards
| where MCAleer's friends are strong, as
many as tW uty men have been thrown
out of a committee at a time. What
would be practically a new committee
has been formed from men never
elected from the precincts in which they
live. The result of this plan Of cam
paign, particularly in the third congress
sional district, and up in the Nineteenth
and Ihirty-tirst wards, where David
Martin has many friends among the
Democrats, can be imagined.
MAILER KNIVES OUT.

Up in the northeast. where, in tn
Nineteenth ward, some Of the stronges
anti-Harrity men have been accused o
treason, refused admission to the cit
