The county democracy leaders of
New York met last night at the Cooper
Union and, after a seven hours session,
decided by vote of II to 9 ten leaders
being ABSENT to withdraw the county
ticket nominated in opposition to Tam
many Hall. This was not done, how
ever, until all of the candidates had
presented their written declinatlon as
candidates.
Gen. Adlai E. Stephenson, demo-
cratic nominee for the Eice-Presidency,
and Congressman Isidor Rayner, of Bal
timore, were the speakers at large
and enthusiastic meeting in Brooklyn
last night Gen. Stevenson had con-
ference with Mr.. Cleveland in New
York yesterday to get some points III
the preparation of his letter accepting
the nomination for Vice President.
The democratic division in Alabama
created by the August election is grad
ually healing up. The men who led
that portion OF the democratic party
which refused TO support Governor
Jones, the regular democratic candi-
date, last August, have long since en-
tered into a combination with the
Moseley and Magee republican faction.
They made the mistake, however, that
they could bodily transfer all those
democrats who voted for Kolb. Every
dav il is more and more developed that
the bulk of the men who supported
Kolb and who had heretofore been dem
Gratis, will refuse to follow Kolb and
| Bowman. the chairman of his commit
tee, and the main conspirators in the
movement to deliver the electoral vote
of Alabama to Harrison in case he
needs it.
In addressing his leaders assembled
in conference at his residence in Peters
burg several nights ago, Gen. Malone
is reported as advising them to return
to their homes and to work for the cleo
ton of Harrison and Reid and for the
third-party candidates for Congress.
He in no wise recognized Mr.. S. y. Gill
liam as republican candidate for Con-
gress and his party was instructed to
worl; for the peoples party candidate,
Mr.. j. Thomas Goode. Mr.. Gillian
sent out circular letter Withdrawing
his acceptance of the nomination III de-
ference TO the advice ofleading republic
cans connected with the administration
at Washington, and throwing upon
them the responsibility for whatever
NAV flow from it. In conclusion Mr..
Gillian says Il deem it my duty to
say TO YOU that in this district with an
admitted republican majority of about
5000. | confidently believed that my
party would have in the field at the No
vember next election candidate for
Congress. urge all my friends to re-
.ister and actively and earnestly sup
port Harrison and Reid, and on election
day to work and vote for the republic
can electoral ticket"
The reports which come to the ma
tional democratic headquarters in New
York from the close and doubtful
States are of the most encouraging
character. This is especially true OF
New York, New Jersey and Indiana;
indeed, it is understood that the repub-
lican managers privately admit that
even with the large campaign fund at
their disposal their fight i'll New York
is almost hopeless one The indica-
tions are that the democrats will carry
Wisconsin by a small majority and that
they will get not less than six electoral
votes in Michigan. The efforts of the
republican leaders to carry West Viz
gina and Delaware will not succeed.
at least, this is the opinion of a saga
cious democratic leader who is thor
oughly familiar with the situation in
each of the States named. Mr.. Dick
inson said Monday night: 'The fight is
in New York, New Jersey, Indiana,
and Connecticut. We are confident
of carrying all four States" One of
the national democratic committeeman
was asked to explain the cause for the
confidence which undoubtedly exists
among the republicans. He replied ::
.Thcir confidence rests solely upon the
first returns they have received from
the vast outlay of money made by
them. A great flood ofmoney stimu-
latcs a certain degree of confidence,
but it is not lasting. The republican
managers are simply stimulated by the
replies from sources where they have
planted their money" Senator Cor
man will remain in New York until
election day. He is a tower of strength
to the committee.
In the instructions 10 the Tamnany leaders
last night Mr. Croker said; 1T is well for the
speaker to state to the audience. that he has
the most positive assurance that Cleveland
and Stevenson will carry the State of New
York by Il very large majority
Ex- Secretary Whitney who was i'll Boston
Yesterday said: There's one thing you can
say with assurance. The democratic outlook
in New York is As good as i'll 1883 and much
better than in 1881. and we are confident OF
winning with good, comfortable majority.
At the democratic headquarters in New
York last night it was said that the rcpubli.
can managers have practically abandoned all
hope of Carrying that State, and are now max
in,r their hardest fight in Connecticut and
New Jersey.
dispatch received in New York last night
from Chicago says Illinois may he classcd Us 4
democratic State by 4 plurality OF 1o.eoo.
The registration is favorable To the democrats,
as is also the naturalization, over to i.
Mr.. QUAY has virtual charge of the national
rcnublican headquarters i'll New York. and
Senator German is mt the democratic head
quarters to watch him.
