Fifteen Thousand Independent New York
Democrats Will Vote for Harrison.
COUNTY LEADERS KNIFlNG CLEVELAND
Result of the Tigers Grasp,ng for Power
Apparent Already In the City-Harri-
sons Chances Growing Much
Brighter In New York.

New YORK, Oct 2o-TSpecial Telegram to
The BEE l-Conservative politicians est
mate that the withdrawal Of the county
democrats from the campaign will cost Cleve-
land at least 10, 900 votes IN this city. There
are many democrats in New York who VIII
not vote for Tammany under any circum-
stances, ana so disgusted are they at the way
they have been treated by the managers OF
the national committee that they will vote
the straight-out republ blican ticket.
Lawyer George Lang bein, who has worked
so faithfully for the success OF tue county
democracy ticket, said that he had no dount
but that $1,000 county democrats would cast
their votes for Harrison and Reid.
"In the Twenty second assembly district
he said, II am Informed on good authority
that $1,000 democratic voters will vote the
republican ticket straight. They will not
have Tammany candidates thrust down their
throats, and instead of using the posters
they will not bother, but will hand IN the
straight-out repu blican ticket.n
Others Equally Sore.
In the Fourth assembly district Dan
Bowling, the county democracy candidate
for the assembly, is said TO be furious over
the withdrawal OF the ticket and is out with
q sharp knife for the whole democratic
i.G ticket ohaoc0 He had ne,ns is sa,d; siso,es
and this throw down is more than he and
his followers put up with. They
promise TO make the whole democratic ticket
look sick November 3, ana II thev keep their
word the district will go for Harrison and
REID.
The samo can be said OF Muligan in the
Thirteenth. His chances were considered
first-ratc, and he will not forget Tammany's
work on election day,
All over the city, in fact, the same story Is
heard that the only way TO make Tammany
Hall suffer is 10 vote the republican ticket
The seltishness of TammEny, say the county
democrats, will cause their defeat. 1t is i'm
possible TO get many independent democrats
TO vote for Tammany candidate, aud the
FIRST object OF the county in putting an anti
Tammany ticket in the field was to bring L
the polls this big independent vote. In Jhi:
way they hoped to yet out the full strength
of the democrats in this city, but Tammanl
IS for itself first.
Why Tammany Was Afraid.
The excellent republican local ticket anc
the large vote that the countys would pol
made them uneasy and they forthwith
put the screws on the democratic com
mittee and forced 1t 10 deny thu
sinews of war, which were necessary for the
countys to make their fight. Then tn
Tammany leaders went to work and sue
ceeded in preventing the counties from hav
ing their ticket printed on tho Cleyelan,
electoral ballot. They knew ful
well that IL such chance wer
given the independent democrats the
would go TO the front and make q fight an
stand an excellent show. If they had ha'
Cleveland on their ticket they might hav
wrested the local offices from the tiger an
with characteristic audacity the leaders @
Tammany He'll checked the move
