HARD WORK IN ONTARIO COUNTY.
REPUBLICANS BUSY AND CHEERFUL-A BITTER
DEMOCRATIC QUARREL.

DEMOCRATIC QUARREL.
Canandaigus, oct. 90 (specla).-The Republicans OF
ontario County were never determined TO roll up
large majority for the Republican state ticket than
they this year. TO that end they are doing an
immense amount Of hard work and work That tells, for
ii is making inroads into the Democratic vote almost
daily. This Is the home of Frank Rice, the Democratic
candidate for Secretary Of state. In justice to Mr.
Rice IT must be said that he is here extremely pop
and that he Is likely to run 100 or 200 votes
ahead of his ticket lie Is making the hardest sort OF
canvass, but In far the Republican leaders can
learn he Is doing all for himself and not for the entire
Democratic ticket. Mr. Rice first put on the
Democratic state ticket in 1859 as Cleveland man.
but IL was not long after his election to the pace for
which he again is candidate before he exhibited some
pretty strong Hill tendencies and he is looked upon
ullhedged Hill man. II the old system OF voting
were still in vogue there is doubt but that he would
get majority vote in the county. As II Is he cannot
manipulate the country voter he used TO, and he
probably Will be surprised on election night al the
smallness of his vote in this part Of the state.
The Republican farmers rapidly coming to the
conclusion that, matter who the Democrat is, it is
'uDwse TO vote for him. There is furthermore, feel
ing that the work OF last fall must be undone and
Republican farmers who then frightened into stay
ing at home on account Of the Democratic misrep-
resentatO as TO the effect N the Mckinley bill
apparently determined show the Democrats that they
are still Republicans. The merchants in this part OF
the State did much the Democratic msrepresena-
tons TO keep the farmers at home a year ago. They
marked the goods on hand away up in price and told
every one that II was due 10 the Mckinley bill But
now most Of these goods much cheaper than they
last fall before the prices put up Sugar is
so much lower than many a housewife now has two
years canning ahead. From all parts Of the country
the most encouraging reports TO the feeling Of the
farmers in this campaign coming In TO John b. Hail.
the chairman Of the Republican County Committee.
lie has not depended entirely upon the reports which
have been brought in TO him by the various members
of the County Committee, but he has driven many miles
in the county and he has talked with the farmers per
sonay. and he therefore knows pretty well what the
political conditions are lie has found not Re
publican farmer who Is opposed TO Senator Fassett, and
he has found number Of Independents and Jones
Democrats who say that they viii not vote for the
Tammany Hall ticket. Mr.. Hall will not make an
estimate the majority which this county will give
the Republican ticket, but many conservative and
careful say that 1t will be in the nelghborhood Of
1000 The State ticket has been considerably strength
ered by the county nominations. The Republican
county ticket is made mp almost entirely OF veterans,
while the Democrats have followed the example set by
the Tammany Hall State Convention and declared that
there for an old soldier. Avery Ingraham,
the Republican candidate for sheriff, was a member of
the sth New York Cavalry DcrOy j. Hardness another
candidate on the county ticket, one Of the I'M
fortunate soldiers who got into Libby Prison and Albert
H. nbbals, the candidate for Justice Of the Court
Of Sessions, is also Besides these there is
state Senator Charles I. Saxton, against whom the
Democrats have made no nomination, who enlisted when
he WAS only thirteen years old Senator SaXtOn is
again the Republican candidate for the Senate. Mayor
Frank o. Chamberlain, another veteran and valuable
member Of the Assembly is again the Republican candi
His majority is expected to be between 500 aud
1000 votes.
The Democrats seem 10 be bending all OF their
energies toward giving Frank Rice and their candidates
for Sheriff and County Treasurer "a large vote The
situation with them has not been at all improved by the
quarrel In their ranks at Geneva. There two fac
lions in that town and each has a newspaper which is
kept busy abusing the opposing faction. Mr. Rice was
nindcOus enough to take sides In this contest and he
viii lose votes accordingly. The Republicans have
an excellent organization in this county. Each school
district has its OrganizatiOn which operates from the
County Committee This system has given 10 the County
Committee $50 active and pushing men who doing
all within their power 10 get out full Republican vote.
Although the rain fell In torrents Tuesday many OF
the County Committee drove considerable distance 10
meet j. II. ParlIhurst. the state Committeeman from
this district The reports the registration and can
vsss were extremely pleasing and the expectations Of
the Republicans here will be than realized unless
November 8 is most stormy day.
