the total vote of Warner Miller, the RepHblican
candidate Tor Governor IN 1888. and the latter
was beaten by Hill bynearly 10000 On a full
vote this State is conceded to be uncomfortably
| close.
1t is not believed NOW that the third ticket
movement in this city will cut much Of q fig
| ure in the contest. Unless Grace, or some man
who is willing to put up the dust is back of it.,
the anti-snappers and the County Democracy
combined cannot get enough votes to frighten
Tammany.
Cleveland and Hill factions Of the Demo.
cratic party are at daggers' points in James

who would naturally have voted against the
Democrats. Many laboring men were told that
they would be discharged if they voted for the
Peoples Party and the railroads gave the same
notice to their employees. We are going right

Presidential and Congressional elections in No
vember and then we expect to make far bet
ter showing After that we will 60 ahead and
carry on the fight for the. next two years"
