possible to view! the political situa-
tion with some degree OF satisfaction,
II notsof certainty. The satisfaction
lies in the enthusiasm, which Is con-
stantly growing as the campaign
nears its end, and in the cleanliness
which has thus far marked the work
of the Democratic party. 1t is in
fact more distinctly campaign of
education than was that of four
years ago, into which it will be re-
membered. personal animosities en-
tered with some degree OF inexcusa-
BILE bitterness.
To-day both parties are again TAX
ing the city by storm. Tonight over
one hundred meetings will be held
in New York by each Of the older
parties, while the Weaverites will
have at least two gatherings, both Of
which"will be addressed by DIR. Nc
Glynn. The great Republican meet
ing at Cooper Union will be address
ed by DR.. Depew and at the big
Tammany meeting Senator Hill is
expected to speak.
AT headquarters the wires continue
to click out their incessant demands
for speakers and all the great men
of both parties are closing up and
getting as near home as possible. Nc
Kinley is this week in the East
again, while Fassett and Frye con-
tinue to help out the Indiana Re-
publicans. But it is in New York
State where the battle royal on the
husiings is in progress. Not city of
any size in the commonwealth will
be without its speakers Of national
note to-day, and during every day
until Saturday night. Here it is the
legislative fight, which has now as
sumed proportions of nature to
frighten the national leaders ON both
sides. The query is, are the party
leaders in the State going to sanction
trade for the assembly at the inn
minent risk of losing the national
ticket? A margin Of two or three
votes In the Assembly on the Demo
cratic side is all that need be over
come by the Republicans. What
will the Democrats Of the State not
do to save it? Looking at the situa-
tion from thoroughly independent
standpoint at this juncture, it looks
as though the fight for the New York
Senatorship had exceeded In interest
that for the presidency of the United
States.
But New York is not. the only
State in which the fight for the fed
eral senatorship has assumed proper
tions dangerous to the interests of
both parties. In California Senator
Felton's friends are taking desperate
chances to insure his return to the
Senate. In Connecticut it Is bitter
struggle for Hawley s seat. Della
wares legislative fright is not attract
ing MUCH attention and Gray is GER
tain to succeed himself. Idaho has
Shoup's successor to elect and the
Democracy is sacrificing on all sides
to win the legislature. Indiana, is of
course, the scene of the bitterest OF
legislative fights and the Republl-
cans are using every effort to avoid
the slaughter Of the national ticket
in the effort to recapture Turpie's
seat. Senator Turpie Is himself on
the stump, speaking at two or three
places daily, and his plans seem to
be laid with ingenuity. In Massa-
chusetts the loyalty to the national
candidates is most marked, and the
Democrats are making no strong
fight for the seat which Senator
Dawes will give up. In Michigan
the fight for the Legislature
Ia the most desperate known.
1t Is struggle on the part of the Re-
publicans to retain the seat held by
Senator Stockbridge and on the part
OF the Democrats to make place for
Judge Morse should he be defeated
for Governor. In Minnesota even
the national contest is being SUBJ
ordinated to that for Governor and
the Legislature to choose Davis
successor is already conceded to the
Republicans. Missouri will return
Senator Cockrell and the interest
