Especial to THE ROANOKE TIMES from the Ma
tional Democratic licadquarters
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The New York
Herald's review Of the political situa-
ton, which will appear tomorrow morn
ing, says as follows:
IA cold-blooded summary of the
Hcrald's non-partisan canvass through
out the United States favors Mr.. Glove
land. New York is emphatically a
Democratic State. Indiana, while not
so distinctly indicated in the canvass,
seems to lean toward Mr.. Cleveland
Connecticut Is in doubt but Mr.. Har-
rity's special correspondent regards the
State as a hard fold for the Republican
managers. Therc has been nothing re-
vealed so far to Indicate that tho solid
South has been broken with q single
exception, West Virginia, whose six
electoral votes hang uncertain, the
probabilities being Democratic.
The Herald then proceeds to analyze
the Republican hopes OF electing Harri-
son in New York, which tho Republican
managers bstantially abandoned, and
says:
"While it is true that the solid South
remains practically intact, it is not true
that the Northwest appears to be solidly
for Mr.. Hari ison."
1t discovers "a serious rift in the
ranks OF the German Republicans, and
concludes that New York Is Demo.
cratic, Indiana probably Democratic;
the burden OF the flgting is on the Re-
publicans in Connecticut. Kansas,
Idaho, Nevada and Michigan are lost to
the Republicans, while Wisconsin, Mon
tana, Oregon and Iowa are distinctly in
doubt" On political gains and losses it
summarizes as follows: I'm nutshell
Mr.. Cleveland has gained thirty six
votes over his score in 1855. The only
points whore he is threatened with a
loss are in West Virginia and Connecti-
cut, which cast only ten electoral votes.
The Peoples party will take many more
electoral votes away from Mr.. Harrison
than he will gain in the new States"
The review concludes with the publ
cation of an autograph letter from Gov
crnor Flower, which says: 81 retain
the conviction which / expressed
some weeks ago that New York State
will give plurality Of $4,000 for the
Democratic electors"
TO this summary Of the situation
there is to be added the following ex-
pressions Of Democratic opinion, re-
garding the State of Indiana, which
corroborate the views of Governor Gray
autographed night before last. Mr..
Sheerin wired from indianapolis this
morning:
The situation is entirely satisfac.
tory. The enemy is supplied with
abundant money, but our line will with
stand their best efforts"
Secretary Lewis Jordan telegraphs
from Indianapolis:
THE invasion of Lincoln, Wana-
maker and other Republican speakers
this week is a Dismal failure, while all
our meetings arc attended by thousands.
Our people are jubilant and success is
certain
Col. Richard Bright, the veteran polit-
ical observer, compares the situation to
that preceding the election of Pierce in
1852, and says that at no time during
the past forty years has he seen similar
evidences OF sweeping Democratic
victory.
From the Republican side comes the
rison can have only nine electoral votes
in Michigan, and of Spalling the Re-
publican chairman of North Dakota.
who confesses that he entertains only
feeble hope of saving that State. and
like expressions from Republican lead
crs at distant points, while in New York
tho chiefs of that party personally admit
that they entertain only feeble expecta-
tions of pulling their ticket through.
Evidences received by the Democratic
national committee, and very careful
summary Of the canvass of the entire
State Of Connecticut renders it certain
that that State will giva to the Cleve-
land and Stevenson electors not less
than 1900.
Pugh Wallace, the member of the
Democratic national committee for the
State of Washington, says that the re-
ports from the far West arc more en-
couraging every day, and at this moment
there seems to be absolutely no doubt
that Harrison will lose q m ajority of the
States west OF the Missouri river. Of
which he has special charge at Demo-
cratic headquarters. Mr.. Wallace had
