Summary OF the Reports From All Over
the Stste.
Nrw YoRK, Sept. H.-Thsrs has bssp
: large number Of state politicians
81 ths democratic national hsadquaf-
ters at 1870 Fifth avenue this week.
Among those who oallsd yesterday vas sx-
Congressman John n. Wiley. Of BsGalo.
He thinks everything IL In first rate sondi-
tion for the democracy. He has bssn trsv-
cling IN the west recently. and knows much.
too. about tho situAtion in this state.
Speaking Of his trip through ths west, he
said Yesterday;
I'm every place that ! have visited ! found
thht the democrats are enthusiastic, whiie !
hsa.d Of a numbc Of republicans who In
tend 20 vote Tor Cleveland. This 10 partie-
ulAriy true in Indiana where / have visited.
One Of the most intimate friends Of Prssi-
dent Harrison told me the othsr day In In
d~ianapolis hat he fsarad the democrats
had the best OF the eight IN that state. He
said That state pride had carried the stats
for Harrison four years 90. Then svsry
case of Harriaon's success.
. course there was great ~disappoint-
nsnt, and now q great many republicans
who think they have bssn badly treated
will either not vote II oil or vote the demo-
cratio ticket. i do not think that Clsvs-
lana 10 going to lose any democratic votes
in lndisna TO speak Of. while Harrison will
lose thousands OF republican votes.
II found . very excellent condition Of A.
fairs in Illinois. The democrats are fully
convinced, that the state will "a democratic,
sna they Are Working ~ they never worked
eaten up with factions, and they are not
working with enthusiasm,
During my visit in the west I mot !
great many democrats from lows. and thoy
feel very hopeful Of being able to osrry that
state. I also met = number OF democrats
while u Wisconsin,, and they do not even
talk - il their state was IN doubt. They
think II Ia more certain to 90 democratic
b any Of the so-oallsd doubtful states.
"So far ~ New York is concerned, I
think We arc all right. MI. Cleveland ID
Certainly stronger in tho western part Of
carry Erie county this time. The party
there is thoroughly united and both fac
lions are working in perfect harmony.
There 10 no clash, and everything has besn
80 arranged that there cannot be.
IN arc coming over to the
great admiration for Mr.. Cleveland, and
many of them who never voted for 4 demo.
crat before will vote for Cleveland this
time. A number Of republican business
men in Buffalo have told ms that. although
they have never voted for Cleveland before,
they would do 10 this time. l fesl moro
confident Of the election Of Cleveland than
! ever did, and everywhere 1 20 in the state
l can see whe'e he 10 much stronger than he
was there in 1884 or 1885,"
Chairman A. Il. Stokes. chairman of the
county committee Of Essex county, was
headquarters. Speaking Of the situation il
the county he said:
1.-THE conditions in this sounty are more
favorable than they were in 1883. That
year Harrison carried the county By over
1000. This year it will be several hundred
many of the laboring men working in the
iron industries in that section being dissat-
isfed with the fruitless promises made to
them in 1888. Since the Mckinley bill be-
came operative wages have been reduced
and the furnace men now working in that
county receive but $1.15 per day.
1.-The wages Of the miners employed in
the iron mines at different points in the
county have also been reduced. There
have been I've reductions of the wages OF
the men employed within two years. and
the wages they now receive are from Sill
to $1.35 per dsy.
~''tspubliaan campaign orators in 1888
promised the miners in our section that If
Harrison was elected they would have
beefsteak two inches thick and bread
buttered on both sidss, but as q result of
his e~lection n the passage of ths McKin-
Icy bill, their wages have been reduced a.
statsd, and they will not again be deceived
BY the policy that high tariff increases
wages.'
Linn Babcock of Norwich. who il chair
man of tho county committee OF ChenanRo
county. reported at the headquarters that
the organization in ChenanRo was in line.
and that Mr.. Cleveland would make decided
gains in several towns in the oounty.
Thomas +. Gilroy. COMMISSIONS OF pub
lilo works and q member OF the democratic
state committee. said yesterday: II have
talked with ali the Tsmmany leaders with
in the last day or SO, n I may say that
thia county is going to give Cleveland .
very large majority. Things look we'll for
him all over the state. and he will receive
Thousands of republican votes. never
knew = time whom the chances of carrying
the state by a large democratic majority
were more fattsring.
cleveland has grown stronger every dav.
and still the election is nearly two months
of. If he kseps On gaining 40 he has done,
| think it never can be claimed again that
New York is q doubtful state. think this
election will positively decide that New York
10 ono Of the strongest democratic states in
the union. Tammany Hall never entered
into q campaign more enthusiastically than
she ia Q ntering into this one."
