The national Democratic headquarters
received this morning a number or olS-
patches from Western headqu arters
giving a roseate hue to the situation IN
the West, so far as the Democrats are
concerned. Among other things, the
dispatches say i'll several of the west
ern states there have been numerous
defeetions from the Republican ranks
E. bv prominent men, who have declared
their intention of voting for the Demo
cratic national candidates; that the Re-
publcans have practically abandoned
all hope of carrying Illinois for the state
ticket, and the sporting fraternity are
betting even that Cleveland Will carry
the state.
"Closed on account of the funeral of
Mrs. Harrison" were the signs upon
the doors at Republican headquarters.
Among the callers at Democratic
national headquarters today were wee,

"Wherever l have been this campaign
the tendency seems TO be IN favor OF
the Democratic ticket. L am all Old
campaigner, and have spoken in over
twenty campaigns, and | never saw
movement more universal than the
Democratic movement this year. and
the Democratic victory Is in the
air as the saying goes. L
have taken pains in my tours
to ask if there were any Democratic de-
lection in the section. That is one way
/ have taken to ascertain the drift of
sentiment. 1 have been unable to find
anywhere single notable Democratic
detection. All the men who voted for
Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 and in 1SSS seem
to be going to vote for him again, and
the accessionS are certainly very nu-
merOus.
"The pleasantest time have had on
my trIp-I must say this without der
ogation to our sections of the country.
L
ceived-was in n orth Carolina, my birth,
place. 1t was pleasant to go back there.
1t was pleasant to meet the people whom
l knew for years, and it is pieasanter
still to be assured. as | have been. that
L drew hundreds of people away from
the Peoples party back to the Demo-
cratic party. Nothing mole gratifying
has ever occurred in my career than
this.

"Last night spoke at Stamford. 1t
was large and enthusiastic meeting
LWas told by conservative gentlemen
there that Connecticut would surely go
Democratic. OF course | can only judge
from what | hear in such a case as that,
but will say this, that if the rest of the
state is like Stamford, and the meetings
elsewhere like the meeting addressed
last night, | certainly have no fears"
Gen. Stevenson, accompanied by Gen.
Ewing, goes from here to West Virginia,
where he will remain until Thursday
next, and then they go to Chicago. where
they will stay until election day, when
they go home to vote.
John L. Dunn, the Democratic candi-
date for congress in the Tenth New
jersey district, was also caller at head
quarters. He assured the reporter that
New Jersey was safely Democratic.
John w. Hughes. of San Francisco,
another caller, said he would not be sur
prised if the electoral vote of the state
was cast for Cleveland and Stevenson
by at least 5000 plurality. He said that
there had been many defections from
the Republican party in the state OF
prominent members Of that party.
