NEW YoRK, Oct. 3i.-Joseph II. Manley,
Of Maine, member of the executive commit
tee of the Republican national committee,
said today:
II believe President Harrison is going to
be elected, and have reasons for this faith.
First, never in the history of this country
has an administration been changed in the
midst of general business prosperity, and
do not believe this election is TO prove an
exception to this universal rule. That the
country is in a prosperous condition is con-
ceded on every hand. Secondly, the adj
ministration of President Harrison has
been so wise, patriotic and without the
breath OF scandal that It receives, as its
merits, the approval of the American peo-
Pile II is true that there has been some
criticism of President Harrison but when
it is analysed il is found TO be simply
criticism of those who are disappointed at
not receiving party favors.
eve can count PIG electoral votes that
may be regarded as sure for the Republican
ticket The Democratic managers, on the
other hand, cannot safely count on more
than 143. While we do not indulge in any
rainbow chasing, and while we do not in
clude in our PIG sure electoral votes a single
vote from the south, there are outside Of
West Virginia twenty-five electoral votes
in the south that cannot be given to Mr.
Cleveland except by the grossest and most
glaring and outrageous frauds.
II believe we will carry Connecticut,
New Jersey, New York, Indiana and West
Virginia and that Harrison's election is as
sured.n
