cratic success. l am convinced that the cleo
tions of 1890 were but an indication of what
the democrats will do this year. 1 feel very
confident Of the election Of Cleveland and Ste
venson.'
"why?"
because we have great many indications
already to show that democratic success is in
evitable. Take the election in Georgia In itself,
contrast with the elections in Maine and
Vermont. Now, l am particularly interested
in tho election in Georgia, for / used to be q
resident OF that state. 1t was an involuntary
one, it is true, for was detained in Anderson
vile prison. The Georgia election simply
means that the sentiment SO strongly developed
in 1890 still exists. The same cause that makes
republicans in Maine and Vermont Indifferent
makes democrats in Georgia and Florida and in
other democratic states enthusiastic and earn
est in the support Of their principles. What
has seemed to be true in these southern states
will also prove true with those who have voted
the democratic ticket in the northwestern states
like Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Nothing
has happened to make any ono who voted the
democratic ticket woysars ago regret it; in fact,
the necessity for voting it is now stronger than
ever. For this reason / feel very hopeful of Q
great democratic denomination in November"
How about your own state in Missouri
The democracy Of Missouri are more aroused
than they have been for years. With the great
democratic majority we had in Missouri the
democrats feel that 1t is not necessary to make
any particular effort. This year they want to
see how large majority they can give, and
believe that We will carry the state by an old
time ma jority. Our candidate for governor,
ex-Congressman Stone, is making magnificent
canvass OF the state, and Senator Vest, who Is
one Of the best campaigners in the country, is
holding enthusiastic meetings in the different
counties. Senator Cockrell, who has the affec-
ton of the people to a remarkable degree, is also
on the stump and doing very effective work. l
think Missouri will send a solid democratic
delegation to Congress-"
What do you think Of New York;"
"Ihave certainly good reasons to feel that New
York is safe. / have stumped this state in pre-
vIous elections and can see that the demo-
Gratis are more united and better organized than
they ever were before. I addressed a large
meeting at Buffalo the other night 1t was in
Turner Hall and was O German meeting. It Is
said that the Germans are phlegmatic and never
exhibit any enthusiasm, but the meeting which
addressed in Buffalo this last time was a most
enthusiastic meeting and the Germans exhib-
tied just as much enthusiasm and feeling as any
audience that have ever addressed in CAM
