WESTERN HEADQUARTERS.
New YORK, July 2I.-Mr. Hesing. w.
G. GOudy, Judge Tree and others, ap-
pointed to secure the establishment of
Western headquarters at Chicago. de-
cIded to-day that the Executive Com
mlttee, when appointed, would be the
proper organization to consider the mat
ter. They have not been idle. however
but have explained to ex-President
Cleveland and nearly all the members of
the committee individuallysthe objects
to be obtained by Western headquarters
The committee appeared before ex-
President Cleveland this afternoon with
Mr.. HeSlng, who is editor of the Illinois
StddtS-Ee1tung, an influential Western
German-Amerlcan paper, as spokesman.
lie assured Cleveland that the establish

OF great assistance in carrying the West
ern and Northwestern States. Western
idea OF campaigns are different from the
customs OF the East. If there is n sinh
committee with headquarters at Chicapo
all the means can be raised that are nee
eSSary to carry on the work in the West
NBtIStiS II II lS known t1at the money
must go East, to be expended under the
direction OF the main committee, he
doubted whether it could be done.
''EYerywhere in the West" said ha
'the German vote is the balance of power,
Whenever the German vote has left the
Republican vote those States have always
gone Republican, whether or not
they went directly Democratic. They
have not gone over body and soul to the
Democratic party in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, but they are in opposition to the Re-
publican party. lThis fall, with the school
question still an issue, they are Just as
much against the Republican partv as
they were two years ago, and to be
against the Republicans means Demo-
cratic success. There are in Illinois DO
Geo German Lutherans. OF that number
$1,000 have always been Democrats. leav-
ing $4,000 who have usually been Repub-
licans.
In 1890 at least 10000 of that 5000
voted for Mr.. Raab, Democratic candi-
Gate for superintendent OF Public In
strucuon, and the result was that he was
elected by $4,000 majority. In 1883 Har-
rlson carried the State by $4,000. The
same German vote. which more than re-
Versed that and gave us success two years
ago, IS just as strong this time in favor of
AItgeld, our candidate for Governor, and
also Tor Cleveland, as it was for Raab two
years ago. You may congratulate your
self, Mr.. Cleveland" said Hesing, ''that
you stand wonderfully well with the
Germans"
