Sharp Words Said to Have Passed Over the
Report of Labor Commissioner Peck
From az4Republican Standpoint, that
Document Improves with Age-Hii
Democrats Not Doing Much Hustling
This Year.
New YORK, September 4.-Last week
was one of great satisfaction to the Re-
publicans. Everything has gone their
way apparently and there can be no
doubt they have made material gains
The visit of the President and his con-
ference with Senator Platt and other Re-
publican leaders here strengthens the
situation greatly. There can now be no
doubt of perfect harmony and cordial
cooperation on the part of all Republi-
cans. 1t is understood that the confer
erence at Mr.. Reid's house developed
very satisfactory condition, not only in
New York, but generally. so far as could
be learned through the information
brought by Chairman Carter and General
Clarkson.
The report of
Labor Commissioner Peck
the more it is studied proves the more
effective and valuable from Republican
standpoint. Not only does the infor-
nation which it gives aid the Repub-
licans greatly in stheir. appeal to the
voters against free trade and in support
of Republican protection policy, but it
shows that on this question, the tariff,
the Democrats are so much divided as to
greatly improve the Republican chances.
1t is well known that before the publica-
tion of this report large numbers of
Democrats in this city had expressed
their intention to vote for Harrison on
account of the free trade principles of
the Democratic platform and leader and
that this report made by Democrat will
increase largely that number cannot be
doubted The further fact is also appar-
emit that the Hill wing of the Democratic
party is not making any efforts for the
election of Mr.. Cleveland and will evil
IDENTIFY be quite willing to see him de-
feated.
The Democrats have evinced good
deal of a
Anxiety and Evident Alarm
over the situation. There have been dai-
ly consultations at their headquarters,
and it is said some pretty sharp talk has
been INDUCED in by representatives Of
both wings of the party. Senator Ger
man has been here almost constantly, al
though it had not been his intention to
take any active part in the management
of the campaign. Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan, chairman of the State National
Committee, who has opened up his head
quarters, was presentat some of the con-
ferences of the National Committee, and
it is understood that some pretty sharp
talk was indulged in. The extreme tar
iff element on the committee were in,
clined to criticise Commissioner Peck's
report sharply, and it is said that Mr..
Sheehan retorted with some very vigor-
GUS remarks and an intimation that it
would be very easy thing for the Cleve-
land leaders to ALLEVIATE a large number
of the Democratic voters in New York if
they chose to continue their attacks upon
it's leading men. There is no concealing
the fact that on the tariff question there
is wide breech in the Democratic col
umn.

dense smoke arose and when it lifted a

According to The New York Sun,

cns.on seems to justify it. At the

which the New York democratic
leaders assembled to confer with
Mr.. Cleveland, Lieutenant Cover

to Instruct the ex-President as to
his political duty, and concluded by
demanding specific pledges from
him in favor of the machine. Mr..
Cleveland listened patiently to all
he had to say, and when the Lieu
tenant Governor had concluded,
replied in a short, bat vigorous
sentence, in which he refused abso-
lutely to give any pledges whatever,
emphasizing his remarks by the
dou bic barreled use of a word OF
condemnation which has been ia

to be swearing. II the story b,
