Parties In New York.


Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
New YORK, October 10, 1892.
One almost suspects himself in Washington
from the number of familiar faces seen here to-
day. Ex-Governor Campbell Of Ohio. ex-Con-
gresham Finerty of Illinois, ex-Postmaster
Dickinson and Auditor Lynch of the Treasury
Department are among the people whose faces
are familiar in Washington who are seen here
today. And very kindly they give variety Of
opinion about the situation which cannot fail to
please every washingtonian,fo FOR they cover every
side, except that of the peoples party, and
their predictions will fit the political views Of
everybody.
Ex-Governor Campbell, who has been stump
ing Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,
Pennsylvania and western New York, gives the
democrats a large slice of encouragement. Il
think, said he, I'VE stand an excellent chance
of carrying Illinois and Wisconsin. and there is
an absolute certainty that we shall carry Indi-
ana"
What about your own state?''
well, there is great apathy in the republican
ranks, and l believe that the republican vote
will be unusually light, and hope that we shall
make good showing, at least in the matter Of
democratic Congressman"
Ex-Congressman Finerty, who has been
speaking IN New York state, says the situation
has improved greatly. ''In Syracuse Alone"
he said, Il found more than l 900 Irish repub-
hcans.' mn
what do you think of the effort that is be-
ing made 10 capture the Irish vote in New York
for the republicans"
1T Ii not question Of capturing the Irish
vote. II is coming into the republican ranks in
great numbers. The Irish Americans are strong
for Harrison and protection. They have no
liberation for free trade doctrines"

Undoubtedly. Everywhere that have been
there has been constant inquiry among Irish
Americans to whether Mr.. Blaine would
speak during the campaign, and have no doubt
that his appeal to the Irish voters will be very
effective
Auditor Lynch is equally confident about the
colored vote
E<"The talk about the transfer Of colored voters
to the democracy" said he, lis nonsense. have
taken particular pains to inquire into this mat
ter wherever l have been-and l have been

loyal TO the republican party now as they ever
were. 1t is absurd for the democrats, in view
Of their cry of no force bill,' no negro domi-
nation. 70 tpink that they are going to get col
''How do you find the outlook In western
states where you have been?''
Splendid. l have no doubt that Illinois
will give a large majority for the republican
electoral ticket and that Minnesota will give
from &c, 600 to 80 900 republican majority"
4 What about AIichig amp
The democrats will probably get from three
to five Of the fourteen electoral votes Of the
state. The remainder will be republican, and
i think we shall gain several republican Con-
| gressmen in Michigan"
Ex-Postmaster General Dickinson does n,
agree with SIR. Lynch about the number Of
democratic electors from Michigan. ave shall
have from five to eight democratic electors

probable that by reason Of the fusion in some
Of the districts the republicans win not get over
