CptSIdl W iilS UNION.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.--The Demo-
cratic press has been very diligent circu-
lating reports about lack of interest in
the coming election among Republicans
IN Office in Washington, using that state
ment as a text upon which to build a
fabric of falsehoods about ''fat-frying"
and compulsory contributions ito the
campaign fund.- Inquiry among Gov
eminent employees now here has failed to
find anything but the most sanguine
hopes of Republican success. and in no
instance has there been the slightest hint
of contributions having been asked
Private Secretary HalfOrd has Just re-
| turned from flying trip to his home in
indianapolis. He was there purely on
private business, but i'll his short stay he
saw a few of the political leaders. He
said as far as his observation goes there is
no cause for alarm in the State. The
fight, as it is always there, will be close.
but President Harrison has lost none of
his popularity, and is as strong with his
home people as he was in 1883. The Nop
OF over 100000 votes in Alabama, the dis
affection III Tennessee, coupled with the
labor troubles there, the disintegration in
North Carolina and the Alliance move
ment in Virginia, present some new and
discouraging features to the Democratic
party.
1t is not claimed by the Republicans
here that there is any certainty OF any Of
the States being taken from the Demo-
Gratis, but it is considered possible that
Virginia and West Virginia NAV leave
the ''Solid South.''
Some of the Republicans in North Car
Olina are very Sanguine. n. Z. Hoiton Of
Yadlxinville, in that State, prominent
attorney and politician, saws there is the
hrcrl1pSf nf
rying the State. He put it in this wav:
If the Third party polls 5000 votes, and
it looks as though it Will register MANY
| more than that number, the Republican
ticket Will be elected. Not more than 10
per cent. OF Third party votes will be
drawn from the Republican ranks. There
VIII be full vote and q fair count in the
State, with the possible exception ofsome
OF the eastern counties. In not more than
thirteen counties in the east is there any
ground TO anticipate uniairness, and the
general result IN the State will probably
not be changed by the counties. have
reason to know that Mr.. Cara. the Dem
ocratc leader, feels very much concerned
at the outlook for his party A general
dissatisfaction over Democratic manage
ment of State affairs exists, and this feel
ing is swelling the Third party"
