tain, and that the election Of Harrison
and Reid ia the natural outcome OF
the conditions OF the canvass.


The Irish-American voters Of the
Second assembly district arc beginning
to realize what it means to follow
blindly in the lead Of Tanmany, and
are taking steps to overthrow the
power Of the machine in that district.
A committee OF arrangements has un-
dertaken the task OF organizing Har.

probably have to hire Cooper Union or
Madison Square Garden for their big
meeting next week.
GOOD NEWS FROM CONNECTICUT.
"Politics are almost at the boiling
point in Connecticut, said G. W. Hem
derson, of Hartford, who is here on
business affairs Of his own, but, never
theless, he found time to stop in Re-
publican headquarters and report that
the outlook for Republican victory in
his state was mover so bright as now.
sour superior organization, the conf
dsnce Connecticut Republicans have IN
tho Righteousness OF the cause they
fight for, and the splits in our enemies
lines unite to make our success as near
certain as anything in politics can be.
Connecticut Democrats feel the need OF
leaders, for that they have none OF more
than common ability is shown by their
discomfort and the bitter faCtional feel
ing that has been fomented by small
fry politicians who want to force them.
selves to the fore without having either
tact or brains to black them up. On the
other hand, Republicans are in perfect
harmony, and there is not township
in the entire state that hasn't its Harri-
son and Reid campaign club. AS the
work Of state organization began early
in July. our machinery moves without
the slightest friction"
MINNESOTA ASSURED TO HARRISON.
"Will Harrison be elected? How can
he be beatenP" exclaimed ex-Congress-
man David Dinwoodie, of Minnesota,
repeating a question and answering
another. He lives in Red Wing and is
stopping in the Windsor hotel. "1f
the Democrats ever had chance to
elect Cleveland it was destroyed by the
free trade heresy in the platform he
stands upon. He was beaten before
and will be again. Watterson is his
Cassius. He wanted Hill nominated
and when that could not be accom-
plished, he resolved to get revenge by
hoodooing Grover, which he has most
efectually. Republicans are on their
mettle this year, and they will give
their old political opponents drub-
bing from which they will never recov-
err. Our organization in Minnesota is
as near perfect as it can be made, and l
never saw such intense interest among
Republicans. The Farmers Alliance
will cut no figure in Minnesota politics
this year"
KANSAS DEMOCRATS ASLEEP.
Democrats in Kansas seem to have
gone to sleep, except in the larger
towns where they do some shouting,
but little work" said orrin I. Maddox,
OF Topeka, who visited Republican
headquarters. 1.-THE starch has been
taken out OF the Farmers Alliance, for
the men who were heretofore 80 anx-
ious to be represented in Congress have
learned that their representative had
no influence in law makingS. No one
in Congress cared a fig how the Alli-
ance men voted. The farmers are dis
appointed because their men did not
rush through the sub-treasury scheme
and come out flatfooted for unlimited
coinage. From this ! gather that the
Alliance, as an organization, has lost
power as factor in western politics.
Its sun is set, and the Republican
party will be benefited by it. We APP
preciate the dissatisfaction Of the Kan
sas famers, who are ready to break
from the Alliance as soon as they have
a good excuse. The Republican cam
paign has begun with vigor, and its
leaders in Kansas will pay particular
attention to missionary work among
weak kneed Alliance men. The Repub-
lican ticket will surely be elected"
DETERMINATIONS ACTIVE.
Patrick o'Dwyer is vigorously en-
gagged in booming the Irish-American
Republican Club, originally organized
in the Second assembly district, which
has taken in members all over the city,
and is one Of the most thriving organi-
cations of the campaign. Mr.. o'Dwyer
was present at a meeting OF disclaimer
lean workingmen last night in John l.
Sullivan's hall, corner OF Seventy-sec-
ond street and First avenue. He made
speech, and ninety-nine men, all
Democrats in the last Presidential cam
paign, signed theroll. They will vote
and work for Harrison and protection
against the free trade that has cursed
Ireland for so many years.
