NEW YORK THE BATTLEFIELD.
Two Views as to the State of Affairs in the
Empire State.

Two Views as to the State of Affairs in the
Empire State.
Members Of both parties in Congress are be-
ginning to interest themselves actively in New
York state and are eager to get into the cam
paign as quickly as Iessble SO as to get at the
work which both parties feel to be necessary in
that state. The leading takers for each party
are speaking positively Of what they are gong
to do in New York, but at the bottom there is
the deepest anxiety felt All talk about
devoting themselves to other states is
nothing more than the usual nonsense INDUCED
In, with the vain hope of deceiving somebody
for the purpose Of getting an advantage 1t is
quite evident that New York is to be the battle
ground this year as heretofore, and the fact
that both the candidates have opposition In that
state lends a peculiar interest to the situation.
The republicans are somewhat anxious on &C
count of the apparent indifference or indispo-
sition on the part Of Mr.. Harrison to conciliate
the republicans who have opposed him, but it
may be relied upon after all the various promi-
nent wor kers will have their coats off and at least
make show of great activity. Those demo-
Gratis who, at Chicago, insisted that Mr. Cleve-
land could carry New York against the world
are now more cautious in their expressions and
after the heat Of enthusiasm have come to a
calm realization OF the fact that Whatever they
get there they must work for.
Representative Burrows of Michigan, who has
just returned from the demonstration at Roch-
ester. in which he took part, said today that he
found very satisfactory condition of affairs in
New York; that the republican clubs and the
ratification organizations generally were pre-
pairing for an active campaign and apparently
determined TO enter into the work with earnest
ness and enthusiasm.
sit is too early" he said, "to make any
guesses as to how tho state will 60. would
not venture to say at this time that Mr. Harri-
son is going to carry the state and for any
democrat to say that Mr.. Cleveland will carry
1t IL merely idle talk. The situation has not
so shaped itself as to make it possible to know
what outcome to look for. All can say is that
at the outset the indications are very favorable
to Mr.. Harrison"
Representative Tracy of New York, where he
has been talking with both CleGeland and anti
Cleveland men. He says: "There appears to
be O very good feeling in New York city. did
not go through the state, but in the city I
talked with a number Of prominent democrats
and found that there was a very general feeling
of earnestness and determination to do all that
could be done to bring about Mr.. Cleve-
lands election. I talked with Mr.. Martin,
who is q prominent and active man in Tam
many. and he said that the Tammany forces
were in good shape; that they were organizing
for the campaign and'were prepared to do their
level best for the ticket. I believe that Tam
many is going to do the right thing"
''Do you think that Cleveland is going to
carry the state2'
~ think SO, but, of course, no one can tell at
this time; that il something that has got to de-
velop in the future"
