braska, Oregon. Minnesota and the Dakotas
cannot be accurately determined until the
votes are counted, and three parties are
making vigorous claims as to North Caro-
lima. The most conservative polit1cians are
OF the opinion that nearly all OF these States
will be found within their usual party lines,
but they will be eager to see the hgures to
assure themselves that they have not been
mistaken. This is a canvass of difused and
not of concentrated interest.
THE Democracy is still anxiously wait
ing to hear Cleveland say, LET 'er CO."
IN speaking of the situation in the South,
Clark Howell, the Georgia member of the
Democratic National Committee, says:
Georgia is the next State to act except
Florida. The Democrats have every reason
to expect the same encouragement from its
returns as they have received from Ar
kansas, Vermont and Maine. The Demo-
cratic party in our State was never in bet
ter fighting trim than now. Indeed, this is
about the first time since the war that it
has been confronted with anything like
organized opposition. This has served
only to put the party on its mettle,
and thorough organization has been
effected in every county in the State. For
90 years or more Georgia has been going
Democratic without any effort Our election
takes place on the 9th of October for Cover
nor and StLte officers. There is no Republi-
can candidate, and the third party has NOM
mated Colonel W. L. Peek and a full State
ticket The Democrats have renominated
the present Governor, W. j. Northen. The
third party is running candidates for almost
every office from constable up, and they are,
of course, making extravagant claims. There
is not the slightest doubt, however, that the
State will elect the, Democratic ticket by

cratic majority polled by the State since the
war" II Georgia does give any such Dem
ocratic ma ority as claimed by Mr.. Howell
time Republicans in the North west who
have been deluded into third parties.
THE Philadelphia Public Ledger is of the
opinion that "Perhaps Mr.. Blaine's pair was
vermonter. The Democrats report a loss
of one vote there at the recent election"
ENCOURAGING advices to the friends of
protection are now the rule from the North
west "We shall carry Minnesota without
question:" says Senator Washburn. "The
political situation is changing to our advan-
tage. The campaign has'become pretty live
ly. There has been division in the ranks
of the third party. Ignatius Donnelly heads
one faction. j. H. Baker and w. w. Irwin,
who were two of the leading lights in the
Peoples party, nave broken from Donnelly,

ticket, if he votes at all Minnesota is
sure to go Republican, but have some
fears for South Dakota" Senator Pettigrew.

1ose The Republican party has been doing
its best to make the State Democratic ever
since the Territorial days. Every move
this administration has made has helped
break up the Republican party there.
Further than that, the way patronage has
been distributed in that State has sent
whole armies of discontented Republicans
Harrison and his administration" Other
Republican leaders are confident that South
Dakota will be in line for Harrison and
Reid, although perhaps doubtful on the
State ticket -
ACCORDING to the Omaha Bee 'sthe
present national campaign stands out in
bold relief as the cleanesU one in the history
of the country. The passions of men have
not been aroused to the extent of making
them forget the decencies and proprieties of
political warfare. 1t is a contest of argu-
ment and reason ana common sense"
CONGRESSMAN DALZELL returned yes
terday from his health and pleasure trip,
prepared to take an active part in the pend
ing political contest. OF the canvass in his
own district he speaks with entire conf
dence, and is very hopeful of Republican
success in the nation. In the course of q
brief interview he said: 81 see no reason
why the Republican national ticket should
not be successful this time. Mr.. Harrison
has proven himself to be man of broad ex-
perience, capable of coping with the most
difficult questions. He has given the counS >
try a clean, conservative administration
and have no DOUBT he will be placed at the
helm for a second term. He has the conf
dence of the moneyed interests of the
country, which insures the people prosper
ity for four years during which time the
Republican party will have another chance
to act in the nations welfare. The labor
disturbances will not or should not play any
part in the present campaign. Our laboring
people are above the average intelligence
and know we'll which party has always been
looking TO their interest. There are among
them some Democrats who will stick to
their party no matter what happens, but the
progressive workman cannot fail to see

JERE DoUGHERTY is making lively
canvass in the Forty-third Senatorial dis
trict which gave an opposition majority of
something less than 1000 in 1885,
ENCOURAGED by the Hill demonstration
the Democrats are now making extra claims
concerning New York. Congressman Ashbel
P. Fitch, who is aiding in the management
of the free trade campaign there, says: II
can only speak of the campaign in the city
of New York, where 1 have been around
among all classes of voters and have seen
the work of organization which has been
going on for the last two weeks. Here i'll the
city the Democracy is arranging the most
complete and decisive victory over its op-
ponents in all its history. There has never
before been such q union of all its elements
of strength. Tammany Hall, never before
SO strong in votes OF in leadership rs now, is
reinforced in the contest by the Democrats
of every shade of opinion, the Independents
of every class and by the almost unanimous
support of the great German vote, which
always before has been more or less divided
and partly Republican. The Republican
campaign in this city is slow and tame. 1t
has been put in the hands of men who are ac-
customed to organizing defeat. Most OF them
seem to have been chosen on the principle
that man who cannot get himself elected
to anything is the best person to arrange to
elect somebody else. Carter was hand
somely beaten in Montana, where they know
him best, In Republican district in 1890,
and had to take refuge in a subordinate place
in a Washington department. McComas at
the same election was defeated for re-elec-
tion to Congress in the Sixth district of
Maryland, whicn has long been Republican.
These men are called in to aid Fassett, who
was the worst beaten candidate the Repub-
licans have had, and Platt, who, stnrting
with the Governor, Senate and Legislature
in his hands. has lost them all. When all of
this is followed by the speeches of Governor
Hill and Carl Sohurz in this canvass our
opponents will probably discover that the
men who have made New York Democratic
mean to keep it Democratic" Mr.. Fitch
does not enter into an explanation OF the
methods by which TammanY proposes to
Dan10orQ n
Republicans can be relied upon to keep
close watch on the movements of the tiger.
