NEW YORK ALL RIGHT
CONGRESSMAN CUMMINGS ON THE
OUTLOOK.

Duty-The Prospects, of Victory wer,
Never Brighter.
New YORK, Sept. s6.-The political
sky, SO far as the Democracy is con
cerned, is by no means cloudy. The sur
shines as steadily as in the great cam
paign of 1884, and the prospects of vic
tory are fully as bright. In New York
the Democrats will do their duty. They
are fully as enthusiastic as they were
in the campaign eight years ago.
Iammany Hall is thoroughly organ
lied and will lead the fight in this state
So far the skirmishing has been des
ultory. The fight will not fairly open
until Mr.. Cleveland's letter of accept
ance is received and local and congress.
sional nominations are made Then Mr..
Croker will establish his permanent
headquarters at Tammany hall and give
all his attention to the canvass. Tam.
many itself will be responsible for the
city. Its honor and its safety are at
stake, and it will strain every nerve tc
give Mr.. Cleveland larger majority
than that received by Governor Flower
last fall. Able lieutenants Of Mr.. Croker
in the different city assembly districts
have made pledges that will, if carried
out all along the line, give the Demo
cratic presidential ticket 70, 1000 majority
in the city.
In Brooklyn the organization is equal.

ways maintains strict discipline. There
can be no detection in his ranks this

ing. He supports the ticket heartily and
unreservedly. His words will be re-
echoed in all parts of the state and will
enthuse and enliven sections now mac
tive.
The cause of the disaffection in Kings
in 1883 has been removed, and prominent
leaders there say they are convinced OF
their ability to carry the city by from
$1,000 to 10000 majority. The Democ-
racy will probably elect all the congress.
men in these two cities.
Now for the state. The outlook is
more than encouraging. Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan has established hia
headquarters IN the city, and is acting
heart and soul with the state committee.
Indeed he is the real state leader in the
contest. He is young, active, energetic
and untiring. No man more thoroughly
knows the political ground. His cSnvass
Will be made even more close and
searching than that made last year
when Governor Flower was the stand
ard bearer. The governor carried the
state by nearly $4,000 majority. The
Republicans never made harder fight.
All the power of the administration was
placed at the back of j. Sloat Fassett,
their candidate for governor. Hundreds
Of thousands of dollars were spent to in
sure his election. He was the especial
favorite of Tom Platt and the machine
leaders. Warner Miller's closest politi-
cal friend was induced to go upon the
ticket with him. Yet an overwhelming
Democratic victory was the result.
This year the situation is far different.
Mr.. Platt, chagrined at the defeat Of
James G.. Blaine in Minneapolis, will
hardly strain every nerve for Republic
an success, as was done last fall. He
has learned that presidential promises
are pie crusts. Warner Miller is taking
no active part in the campaign. There
is bitter dissatisfaction among the Re
publicans in the Onondago district.
Then there is trouble in the new Os-
wego and st. Lawrence districts over
congressional nominations. In Kings
county also there is an unhealed sore.
Secretary Tracy's friends are factional
and apparently uncomfortable. The
sore is an old one and it will be difficult
to heal it. In New York city the fight
between the Republican short hairs and
the kid glove element seems to have
ceased. The late John j. O'Brien's
friends have apparently been Modified,
but they will hardly be able to deliver
their goods. In 1888 O'Brien's assembly
district gave the Democratic candidate
Cor mayor 5000 majority and the Re-
=, vblican candidate for president 800
ms mo tority. This is o surprise that can
nott % repeated. O'Brien is dead and
morv. If his trusted ieutenants are in
tha Hem ocratic ranks.
e. mn, VI for the situation in New
vorL Tbs ve are no factional disturb
ancas among the Democrats. With a
orea. nization and active work
the state ia safe. There can be no doubt
about it. :.

There are hundreds Of Republican

throughout the state will stand by them.
Many of them voted for Cleveland in
