ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsrATcH.1
NEW YORK, Sept. T.-Governor Flower,
accompanied by his private secretary,
Colonel Timothy s. Williams, called on
Chairman Harrity at National Democratic
headquarters, at noon to-day. The
Governors visit was the more welcome
when he pulled from his waistcoat pocket
check tor his share of the campaign ex-
penses After the Governor and Mr.
Harritv had consulted for half an hour, Mr.
Harrity proceeded on his way to Pennsyl-
vania, and the Governor gave his opinion
of the situation. He said:
1.-THE elections in Vermont and Maine
have given me much encouragement They
show remarkable apathy among Repub-
licans toward the campaign. If such apathy
is prevalent throughout the country as it
seems to have been in these two States,
there will be no doubt of Democratic sue
cess. New York will give Cleveland 90, 900
majority. l have been in pretty much all
sections of the State in the last six weeks,
and 1 find considerable lukewarmness
among Republicans. In the strong Repub-
lican counties this is particularly manifest.
1t looks as though the Democratic victories
of 1890 and 1891 would be repeated this
year.
A Rainbow In the Dark Clouds.
The Governors check was a rainbow in
the dun -colored clouds which have over
Swallowed the finances of the committee for
several weeks. Outside of the money con-
tributed by e1-Mayor Grace and his friends
most of the funds that have come in have
been the result principally of Mr. Whit
ney's personal efforts.
Mr.. Dickinson will depart for Buzzard's
Bay tomorrow; at least that was his inten-
tlon to-day. There is probability that
Mr.. Cleveland will come to town on Thurs
day and have another reception day at the
Victoria Hotel. The Democratic managers
do not desire to hurry the ex-President, but
they are anxious to have his letter of ac-
ceptance got out at the earliest possible
m ment. Mr. Harrity and his friends
would have been delighted to send the doc
ument out on the last visit of Mr.. Cleve-
land. 1t was planned that 1t should be
printed Immediately after the letters of
President Harrison and Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Whitney was not particularly dis
turbed at the Presidents letter, but he
thought Mr.. Blaine's letter should be
answered Immediately. Mr.. Blaine's refer
ences to the money plank in the Demo-
cratic platform were particularly annoy
ing.
Carter Trusting in Southern Break.
Hon. Tom Carter and his brethren OF the
Republican camp were quiet as mice
all day, but that was no indication that they
were not at work. They have hired
branch headquarters in an out-of-the-way
street downtown, and there campaign
documents by the cartload are being sent
out. Here, also, conferences are held with
the heads of labor organizations, Irish
Americans, the colored voters, the Ger
mans and others.
Mr. Carter sincerely believes that Ala
bama, South Carolina and the Virginias are
to flop over to the Republicans in Novem-
ber The Republicans in these States are
fusing with the Peoples party on the cleo
torsl ticket. The understanding is that the
Republicans will not run State tickets, but
in return for help on the electoral ticket
will support the Peoples party State
tickets.
