Washington.
SenVtor Gibson said that whenever
the people of his part Of the south are
appealed TO in defense of good govern
ment they respond with a hearty voice,
and that there wax no danger whatever
Of Republican or third party success in
Louisiana. Senator Faulkner reported
that the force bill issue was nerving the
Democracy of West Virginia to su-
preme effort, and though one Of Presi-
dent Harrison's cabinet ministers is no
toriously endeavoring to carry that state
for his chief by methods characteristic
Of his political career and OF tho party
which he serves. West Virginia will as
suredly roll up larger majority than
four or eight years ago for Cleveland.
Senator Hunton remarked that II the
Republicans were seriously proposing TO
recoup themselves for expected western
losses by southern gains they were simply
deluding themselves and their followers.
This Is the general opinion IN New York
among men Of both parties. II Is here
understood that the talk Of carrying
southern states induiesd BY Republican
managers Is mere bravedo, designed to
cover their efforts to save the day In the
west, where their dominance has forever
come 10 an end.
Chairman Harrity and his efficient
corps Of assistants appear TO DO going
ahead with their campaign on the theory
that Cleveland can be elected without
New York, and that he can also be
elected with New York and without
any gains Ia the west The meaning Of
this Is that they are simply making n
fght al along the line, chasing no rain
bows and indulging In no loose talk as
10 what they are going to do. bat i'm
proving every opportunity 10 win an
electoral vote no matter whore II Is
found. 1t would surprise no ono who Is
carefully watching things here II there
should be a landslide Tor Cleveland and
Stevenson. But the Democratic man
ayers are not counting on anything Of
the sort. They are perfecting organizar
ton. giving assistance and distributing
documents In ali parts Of the country.
They are preparing TO contest every inch
of the ground. and certainly are not
making the mistake Of indulgiag In
overconfdence, no matter what may be
the opinion Of impartial observers as to
the probable outcome Of the campaign.
Establishment of campaign headQuar-
tors at Chicago for auxiliary work In
the west does not mean by any means
that the west is depended upon TO elect
Cleveland. While there are splendid
chances Of carrying Wisconsin, Illinois,
q large part Of Michigan and other
western states, New York, Connecticut.
Massachusetts and New Hampshire are
not being neglected. The news from
the west II Of most encouraging ma
ture In Wisconsin the Republicans
concede that the Democrats have q good
chance TO win. In Illinois II seems to
DO pretty sure that the Democratic state
ticket will be elected, and II IL goes
through by good majority II will carry
the national ticket through also. In
Iowa and Minnesota the Democrats are
so aggressive that the enemy Is already
much worried, and in Nebraska and
Kansas there Is n general expectation
that the electoral votes will 20 TO the
candidates Of the third party, thus in

From present indications the Cleve-
land vote in New York and Brooklyn is
likely to be something tremendous.
Thousands Of business men, who care
less about party than they do for good
government. are for Cleveland. Hun
dreds Of instances are known in which
men who voted for Harrison In 1888 are
now declaring their intention to vote for
Cleveland. City Comptroller Myers,
himself Germsn-Amertcan and bua-
ness man, In close touch all the time with
the people Of those two classes, said in
an interview few days ago that the
business men were for Cleveland much
stronger than they had ever been before,
and that as TO the German-A Americans,
they were 10 man for the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Myers, whose judgment
every one respects, thinks Cleveland will
carry New York by 90, 900 majority.
