CLEVELAND SURE TO WIN.
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY.

OF tho Most Encouraging ChSracter--A
United Front to tho Common Foe.
NEW YORK, Oct, 26.-The near az
proach of the close Of the campaign
finds the Democratic managers more
confident than ever of the election OF
Mr. Cleveland. The reports from the
close and doubtful States are of the
most encouraging character. This is
especially true of New York, New Jer-
sey and Indiana; indeed, it is under
stood here that the Republican mana
gers privately admit that even with the
large campaign fund at their disposal
their tight in New York Is almost a
hopeless one. The successful efforts
OF Chairman Harrity and some of his
associates in dissuading a number of
the leading anti-Tammany Democrats
from participating in the movement
intended to place third county ticket
In the field in New York removed one
OF the chief reliances of the Republi-
can managers for a good showing for
Mr.. Harrison in New York city. The
ticket placed in the field by the County
Democracy will receive but few
thousand VOtes-SO few that no Demo-
cratic voters can be induced to trade
the electoral ticket in order to obta =
votes for the County ticket. The Ia :.
ter will receive but perfunctory sup.
port, the only real purpose of it's exist
ence being to keep the County Democ.
racy organization alive, so that they
may be entitled to be p. inted upon the
official ballot in future contests. Many
here think that the mayoralty candi-
date of the County Democracy will not
poll 10000 votes.
HARRITY PRESENTED FORMIDABLE
OPPOSITION.
MIR. Whitney and some others were
in doubt as to whether third ticket in
New York city would do harm or not
Mr.. Harrity, however, was pronounced
in his views that it would hurt the ma
tional ticket If the third ticket were
put in the field with Mr.. Fairchild, Mr..
Grace and others supporting it. 1t Is
now conceded that thC re Is no menace
to the ticket in New York city, and
Mr.. Croker has expressed his apprecia-
tlon OF MIR. Harri.ys efforts and as
sured him that New York city will
give an overwhelming majority for Mr.,
Cleveland. Mr.. Croker hin elf will
give no figures, but it is confidently eX-
pected that it will exceed $4,000. AS
to New Jersey, there Is no one who has
any knowledge Of the politics of that
State who has any doubt but that the
Democrats will carry it by a decisive
majority. There have been some fac
tional troubles among the Democrats of
that State, but 1t Is now evident that
they do not mean to even lot the Re-
publicans elect their candidate for Gov
ernOr. New jersey will probably give
10000 Democratci majority, as McPher-
son, Albeit, Smith, Ross, Kelsey, Nc
Dermott and the rest of the Democrat
lc leaders are earnestly at work.
CERTAIN OF INDIANA.
The d emOcrats aremOre certain of
carrying Indiana than they are of car
rying New York, end of the latter they
seem certain. In Indiana the Demo-
Gratis are united and we'll organized,
while the Republicans are divided and
poorly led. The detection of Judge
Gresham's friends has been serious
loss to Mr.. Harrison. Those In charge
of the Democratic campaign of India
na predict that Mr.. Cleveland will car
ry the State by 10000 majority.
The contest in Connecticut Is close.
with the chances that the Democrats
will carry the State, as they have in the
previous Presidential campaigns. Dur
ing the last ten days Connecticut has
been receiving special attention at the
and they are now confident she will
give her six electoral votes to MIR.
Cleveland.
The indications are that the Demo
Gratis will carry Wisconsin by small
majority and that they will get not Jess
than six electoral votes in Michigan.
The efforts OF the Republicans leaders
to carry West Virginia and Delaware
Will not succeed. At least, this is the
opinion OF a sagaciOus Democratic
leader who is thoroughly familiar with
the situation in each Of the States
named.
PRAISE FOR IIARRITY'S MANAGEMENT.
Leading Democrats who have been
visiting the headquarters Of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee express
themselves as much pleased with the
management of the present campaign.
Chairman Harrlty has been commend
ed for his efficient work by Senator
German, Mr.. Whitney and others, and
the conduct of the canvass by Mr.. H@r-
rity, Mr.. Dickinson, Mr.. Smalley, NJ.
Quincy and their associates is conceded
to have been thus far free from blund-
ers and scandals. The Democratic
managers have won the respect and
confidence of their parry, for the reas-
on that their manag oment has been
oAO"h "bN ilSO 1loll anu MI
Harrity is accorded quite large share
for the credit of it.
HONOR FOR PENNSY
MIR. Whitney has given most of his
tiEae to directing the work of the fl.
nance committee. 1t Is stated, upon
good authority. that he has been quite
successful, and that the Democratic ma
tional committee will have all the
money needed for the proper and legi-
innate expenses of the campaign. The
appeal for popular subscriptions has
met with success, and large sum has
been received from contributors, who
have sent their money to the commit. |
tee In response to this appeal. 1t Is re-
ported here that the contributions from
pennsylvania Democrats will amount
TO not less than $75, ,O0C, and that they
may reach 100000. This Is very much |
better than Pennsylvania has ever done |
before for the Democratic national |
committee; indeed, it Is said that in no |
previous national campaign have the
from Pennsylvania Dem. |
ocrats amounted To more than 1926. 900
