The republicans look with a reasonable de-
gree OF complacency upon the situation here
now. Perhaps they will not be so well satisfied
at the end of another week. for there is reason
to believe that heroic efforts are being made to
get some sort of united action on the part of
the democrats There is one thing. however,
upon which they will never be able to agree.
apparently, and that is the tariff Whether
they will be able to get Senator Hill and his
followers into the harness nobody seems TO
know.
Certain it is that the republicans are fairly in
line and that they are going to pull together IN
the campaign. 1t took long time to get there.
but SO far as New York state is concerned. at
least, there reason to believe now that every
body will be at work Oh the republican side
from this time toward. What passed between
ex-senator Platt and the President has not been
told. and probably will not be. but there seems
to be nobody more anxious now to indicate his
cordiality than Senator Plat.
SECRET DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCES
The getting together of the republicans is
having its effect upon the democrats. They
are making tremendous efforts to pull every
body In line on their side. Secret conferences
are in progress daily at the democratic head
quarters. Senators German and Brice seem to
be getting their coats off and getting down to
work. Perhaps ii is the absence of Chairman
Dickinson that makes their visits more frequent
to the democratic headquarters. At any rate
they are evincing a much greater interest in the
struggle than they did q week ago.
What Senator Hills course will be still re-
mains mystery. Also what the course of the
rank and file of the Tammany people will be-

tends to all ranks of the Tammany people.

member Of the Finest" talking Of this
matter day or two ago, said: why should
We help elect Cleveland? He and his gang are
all against us. We have got the city and the
state now. II we help elect Cleveland and his
people we will simply put club into the hands
Of the people who are not only opposed to us
but will Use the club We give them to beat our
brains out. II we put them in position in
which they will have strength they will use
that strength to take away our control of city
and state affairs"
This is pretty fair sample Of what the feel
ing is among the rank and file Of the party in
this city, and unless the leaders, including Sem
ator Hill, set them an example of cordial ac-
tivity it is going to be hard to get the voters to
set earnestly to work.
IL THE INTERIOR.
This feeling. however. does not seem 10
extend to the interior of the state. At least
there is reason to believe that there n q good
deal of activity throughout the state among The
democrats, judging from the reports that come
in OF the organization of clubs among the dem
ocrats. Scarcely day passes in which there
are not announcements of the organization of
numerous democratic clubs. Among those
announced today are clubs at Tarrytown.
Auburn. Buffalo, Waterloo. Ithics, Schenectady,
Castleton, Troy, Fulton, Seneca Falls, Carmel,
Bronxville. Mt. Vernon, Watkins, Greenpoint,
Farmingdale and lslip.

throughout this state, expresses confidence in

very bitter. The democratic national ticket is

DEMOCRATS SURE or MIssrssIPPr
One of the most amusing announcements that
has been made here il that gravely given to the
press as coming from Democratic National
Committeeman Howry Of Mississippi. In Il be
remarks that latter consulting with the cam
paign committee in the state of Mississippi and
the chairman of the executive committee, and
after hearing from a number Of members Of the
county executive COMMITTEES. think we will
carry not only the electoral ticket. but the full
congressional ticket Of the state" The gravity
with which this announcement il made, in view
Of the fact that nineteen Of the colored vote
Of Mississippi has just been disfranchised by an
act Of the legi lature establishing an educational
qualification for voters, 10 very amusing.
