Gables az it would have been over the

whom are very dear to the Tsmmany heart
Colonel John r Fellows Of New York,
who represents the Sixth city district in
the House, tells me there is no doubt that
Cleveland will carry New York by nearly
Sc large majority as Flower received a
year ago. This is the way he figures It:
we have said be, thirty assembly
districts in New York city, representing in
all about 100000 voters. OF this number
Harrison received four years ago 10000.
II was
PHRNoNKNALLT LARGE VOTE ron RE-
PUBLICAN
TO receive. Those who are familiar with
tho inner circles Of New York politics
know how he got it. It ISN'T necessary to
repeat the details now. All can say is,
that under no circumstances viii Mr.. Har
rison receive next autumn larger vote
than was given him four years ago. If
Cleveland polls the rest. and there is no
other candidate TO get them, it will give
the Democratic candidate a plurality of
$4,000 In New York city.
Add to this $1,000 majority in Brooklyn
ano 1900 more in Richmond and Queens
counties. and our man viii have south Of
Harlem bridge clean plurality Of $4,000.
don't believe Harrison win get TO exceed
10000 votes ia the rest of the state. This
would leave him $4,000 votes short OF a
plurality. In my Judgment he isn't likely
70 beat Cleveland more than 10000 north Of
Lhe bridge, and in that event Cleveland
viii carry the state by nearly 40, 200.
1.-The Influences which viii enable Cleve-
land to carry New York state will be
equally potent in New Jersey and Connec-
ticut. New Jersey 10 as safely Demo-
cratic as Texas, and we are looking to
soc Cleveland sweep the state this year by
msiority ranging anywhere from 5000 TO
10000. Connecticut is closer and more
doubtful But the Democrats always man
age TO carry Il and we win repeat our sue
cesaes this year.
CLEVELAND Is IMMENSELY POPULAR
in the Nutmeg state. This year he viii be
stronger than he was In 1885, because at
shat time the disappointed ofiice-seekers
were salky and in many cases refused TO
work for the ticket. There are no disap-
pointed ofice-seekers in this year Of grace
1892, The Democrats are out Of office now.
and the only way they can get in is to
elect a Democratic president
These uttersnces of Colonel Fellows are
not optimistic CONGRATULATIONS. They are
the utterances OF n man who knows what
is going on under the surface; of q man
who is well versed in the practical work
Of politics; Of q man who is not a sentiment
talist, but rather who figures out results
with cold arithmetical precision without
considering whether they are fiatterinH or
undsttering to him. The figures he gives
me represent his honest, bed rock iudg-
ment He has no more purpose in 6eceiv-
ing me than he has in deceiying himself
and if his prediction fails TO be realized,
II VIII surprise no one so much as himself
OTHERS THINK THE SAME THING.
But Colonel Fellows is not alone in this
belief hear It on ali banda. Men who
have been enemies OF Cleveland for years
and who exerted their best efforts TO de-
feat his denomination tell me the same
story. They SAL that the enthusiasm over
Cleveland in New York is wonderful. They
admit there are scores upon scores of Dem
ocrats 10 the state who dislike him, but
they say that none OF these people can find
m ex5uss for boiling the ticket, while on
tie ether land. the great mass of the party
worker arc more enthusiastic over their
candidate today than they we're when he
first ran eight years age.

GROWING DEMOCRATIC RAPIDLY

Governor Russell himself. although the

former and OF every young man in the

Gratis were fortunate two years ago in
