sentiment in these, the doubtful
states, is overwhelming in favor OF

assured.
WEST VIRGINIA.
1 begin with a gentleman personally
we'll known to many Georgians and
politically trusted throughout the
union. Representative William L..
Wilson, of West Virginia, said:
81 do not think West Virginia will
be as close state in 1892 as it was il.
1888; but the fact that the Republi-
cans think it good fighting ground
makes it necessary for us to run no
risks that are avoldable.
~ believe the Democrats of the
state, in an overwhelming proportion,
are foI Cleveland. In many locali-
ties this feeling is both ardent and
unanimous. | am sure his Domina-
ton would do more to assure victory
in West Virginia from the start than
any that could be made.
INDIANA.

one of the most CAREFUL and most &C
curate of Indiana's congressman, said
81 am confident that at least 70 per
cent. of the Democrats Of Indiana
prefer Mr.. Cleveland as the candidate
over any other man. A majority Of
the Indisnians wi ON you meet will
put it at 80 per cent.
"Indiana will be carried for Cleve-
land, or for any strong candidate who
is a representative of his views. In
diana cannot be carried for any man
who has the taiut of Cleveland's
blood on his hands-who has any.
thing to do with killing off the PEG
pies favoIite."
/ Editor Shanklin, who is now can
| wasting the state for governor, does
not hesitate to endorse Cleveland and
to assert that Indiana is overwhelm
,, ingly for Cleveland. So good poll.
tician as Shanklin would not do this il
there were any doubt as to the cor
rec ness of this view.
NEW JERSEY FOR CLEVELAND.

mus who liz as capable as any other
: man from New Jersey of speaking o
t her people, said:
