appreciate the fact that long hours of work are
necessary to keep up with the republicans, who
are working night and day in the close states
to win them for their national ticket.
Evidence is pouring into the democratic
headquarters that the republicans are making
desperate efforts to carry Connecticut, West
Virginia and Alabama.
The democrats also claimed to have informa-
ton that in West Virginia the republicans have
effected combination with the third party by
which the latter agrees to support the Harrison
electors and the republicans to support the
third party candidate for Congress-
long telegram was received from the demo-
cratic headquarters in Chicago, the substance
of which was that the republicans were much
discouraged over the outlook in Illinois. while
the situation was daily getting brighter for the
democrats.

Sheehan thinks the democratic majority in New

of the republicans in robbing the democrats of
the state offices, that the people have had

Gen. News Prediction.
Harrison will carry both New York and
Indiana" says John c. New. consul general to
London. He bases his confidence partly on
letters which arrived by the City of Paris.
1.-The lack of interest" says the man who twice
has made Harrison the candidate of his party,
has been apparent all alone. The immense
registration proves this. 1t signifies only con-
sentative conviction, and conversation is re-

cording to my advices, and ! have no doubt at
all that Harrison will carry the state.
1.-The manufacturing interests of New York.
New Jersey and Connecticut are proportion
ably stronger than IN the west and those inter-
ests are unquestionablv opposed to a change

can campaign since the has attracted so
little interest among Englishmen and among
Americans in Europe. There has been a little
