Claims by the Different Party Managers

Claims by the Different Party Managers-
The Fight In the Congressional Districts
Correspondence Of The Evening Star
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, OcG 20, 1892.
The confidence entertained by the average
party manager, and even by those who are in
the innermost circle, as to the results Of the
Michigan campaign is absolutely sublime. The
republicans stoutly maintain that their entire
state ticket will be elected and that John T. Rchs
plurality will be at the least calculation IL, O0O
They base this calculation upon the election of
80, when Harrison received plurality of "a ,00O
They donot look upon that election as a land
slide in their favor. but hold that a full vote
and the natural proclivities of the people did
it. They expect a vote fully as large as in 1888
this year, and are confident that the natural
republican majority in the state will assert it.
self. Judge Morse, they concede, is stronger as
a democrat than Rich is as a republican, and
they generously throw off 5000 of Harrison's
plurality in difference to this concession.
The democrats do not give any figures as

the state ticket will receive, but they cheer
fully assume that the occupants Of the state
capital for the next two years will be of their
faith. The democrats alec count upon a very
full vote and look for their salvation to the

taken place during the past two years among

goldbugs Of Wall street The split is therefore
a most serious one, and impartial men admit
OF the election in the western states more di-
rectly interested in the silver question.
The campaign has been an exceedingly bitter
one, and there does not seem to be any promise
OF 'let up" to the flow of invectives and impu-
tatlons so freely cast about. The motives Of
the leaders on each side are impugned. Each
side claims that the other is controlled by
thugs and gangs" This phase of the con-
test applies possibly to Denver more than to
any other part Of the state or states, but, as
usual, the big fight is made in the big places,
they being center for public opinion, and the
hottest fight is where the greatest danger lies.
Weaver men say that If they can carry all
the states in which the chances now favor
them, and if Harrison loses New York and
carries West Virginia they can dictate who
will be President If Harrison will rush through
q free coinage bill before the meeting of the
electoral college the Weaver vote will go to him
and elect him.
The republicans, on the other hand claim that
they will carry the state by a slightly reduced
majority. The vigor with which they make
their assertions is not Of that sort born Of con-
fidence in their cause. Serious OBJECTIONS from
their ranks rendef this prophecy open to doubt
The democrats have not a fighting chance. The
prohibitionists will not likely poll the vote they
did in 1888.
Weaver's strength and popularity in the west
Is undoubted and cannot be gainsaid, and the
prediction is made in all honesty that he will
carry Colorado.

NEW HAMPSHIRE,
Candidate Mckinney Appears to Be Con

Correspondence Of The Evening Star

fdent of Carrying the State.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star
CoScoRD. N. H., Oct 90. 1892
1t is the Australian ballot system to be used
in New Hampshire for the first time at this
election which clouds the prophetic vision of
the political seers of the granite state. A grand
roundup" Of all the democratic state COM
mittee and the interested candidates occurred
here Thursday, and after hours of work with
pencils and paper the leaders found themselves
still unable to say how the state would 60. The
republicans, it is true, do not seem to have
quite so much difficulty in figuring out a ma
jority. but. perhaps, it is because they take
counsel Of their hopes rather than their knowI-
edge.
Congressman Mckinney, the democratic can
didate for governor, was member of the con-
clave. and he was listened to with interest be-
cause he had just completed a stumping tour of
the state.
WHAT MR.. MKINNEY SAYS.
"The secret ballot he said, "has been dis
cussed and explained in every town i have
visited. The universal opinion is that it will
contribute to democratic success by developing
larger independent vote, especially in the
manufacturing towns and cities where the re-
publican party has been strong.
'feruapS the Dest evidence or the effect of
the secret ballot can be gathered from the re-
publican opposition to it. The leaders de-
nounce it and express a desire to return to the
old system of balloting. They admit that
wherever the ballot has been tried the democrats
have got the best of it, and they only hope that
this state may prove an exception to the rule.
1T is certain, however, that the republicans
have plenty of money, and there are evidences
in about every town that they are still relying
upon doodle to carry the state for Harrison and
Reid.
Yet find even among those who have here
tofore been influenced in this way disposition
to exercise the right Of suffrage in this election
as free and unbought citizens.
1.-The fact that representatives to the legisla-
ture are this year to be elected by plurality
vote will tend to give the democrats the advan-
tage IN some towns and increase our strength
in the next legislature"
''Iu a word. then, what is your opinion of the
result in this state?'' was asked.
DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
II never saw the democrats SO confident of
success, while there is a manifestation of nerv-
business and anxiety on the part of the republi-
cans. Yet it must be admitted that so far as
the canvass Of our state is concerned the result
Is very uncertain. Prominent and weIl-in-
formed republicans have admitted to me within
few days that they are all at sea with regard
to what the result will be; that they cannot de-
pend upon the canvass Of the towns, not know
ing what the voters will do with the Australian
ballot"
