CAMPAIGN NEWS AND COMMENT.

CAREFUL politicians, when they hear of
reports of personal enmfty to Mr.. Harrison
in his State Of Indiana, remember that he
also has warm friends there, and quite
number OF them. None are better aware OF
this fact than those who opposed the Presi-
dents denomination ut Minneapolis. The
Hoosier hustlers were the first ON the
ground, md they came in force. They
were strong from, the start. but, whom
danger threatened they were doubly SO.
While the cheers with which the fol-
lowers of Secretary Blaine greeted
his resignation were still ringing
reinforcements for the Harrison column were
on the way from Indiana. Club after club.
hundreds and thousands strong, from every
section of the State poured into the con-
vontion city, where they shouted with
might and main for their fellow-citizen. 1t
is not to be supposed that these enthusiasts
will labor less earnestly against the common
Democratic foe than for party nomination.
Indiana is always close and doubtful
State. of which no candidate can be abso-
lutely sure until the votes are counted, but
not likely to be because of any extensive
disaffection within the Republican ranks
The men who worked so successfully for the
renoinination in Minneapolis are in charge
OF the State canvass, and they are not poll
ticians who are likely to make any very
serious mistakes.
IN speaking of confident claims Chair
man Harrity says: ~ can understand my
confidence, but cannot see any possible
reason for Mr. Carter's. We. think, will
surely carry New York by good safe ma
joriry." The Democratic manager may
understand Carter's confidence more clearly
ut later date.
ALL reports received at oa.ional Re-
publican headquarters from Kansas indi-
cate that the cause of protection is steadily
gaining ground. Notwithstanding this the
managers of the combined Democratic and
Peoples parties continue to prophesy GER
tain victory for their forces. Chairman
Jones, OF the Fusion State Democratic Com
mittee, of Kansas, makes the following state
ment: 81 believe the increased vote this
year over two years ago in the State will be
,00O or, in other words, while we cast
vote two years ago of only 29l, 900 in round
numbers, this year our vote will roach 345,-
000 This leaves an unaccounted for vote of
81. .000 at least one-third of which, believe
one-half-will go to the allied forces while
we concede to our Republican adversaries
two-thirds of that unaccounted for VOTE
Robinson's vote two years ago was 1851;
from this We subtract 7,757 resubmis-
sion Republican votes which were cast
for Governor Robinson. 1 arrive at this
resubmisson vote by adding together the
total Republican Con gressional vote in the
seven Congressional districts, which Ger.
tainly is the maximum Republican vote OF
this State. No Republican voted against his
CONGRESSMAN on account OF the liquor or any
other question. This is tho cold political
which is l22, 762 Whatever Governor
Humphreys vote fell short of that is the re-
submission vote, which is {, ,737. subtractng
vote leaves him 6s,5A Democratic votes,
which. added to Willis 106972, makes q
total Democratic and Populist vote of l7o,-
59s. Add to this one-third OF 81. 900 increased
This subtracted from 5000, the total vote
OF the state, leaves the Republicans but 49,
40S votes" These are big figures, but Chair
man Jones does not seem to have made any
allowance for the members of the Alliance
who have returned to the Republican fold.
IT is estimated that il will take four tons
of paper for the ,sA 900 official ballots to be
used in New York State. One firm will
print the entire number ut So Is q thousand.
JOSEPH MANLEY has been interviewed
at length in New York. In referring to the
South, he said: "The Democrats must make
very vigorous fight in Tennessee, Ala
Dama, North Carolina, West Virginia. and
Delaware; they cannot receive the electoral
votes of any of those States withouta severe
and close contest" Speaking of the ap-
pearance of the Plumed Knight in the can-.
vass, he said: "Mr. Blaine never speaks
without response from the Republican
masses; his voice is always potent with his
party, and the echoes of his utterance at
Ophir Farm are reverberatiny all over the
country. In every State, from Maine to
California, his ringing words are being
quoted with telling effect on the minds of
his countrymen. 1t is unquestionably a
matter of great regret to No Blaine that,
for reasons which he frankly stated, and
which arc not political, he cannot take an
active part in the campaign" When
in the Empire State, Mr. Maniey
said: "It is too carly to talk hyures, but
there are many signs that point to an upris-
New York, but OF an irresistible movement
OF the business men of New York City, and
of all the large manufacturing centers.
Every man who is in business feels that
of the tariff question, uncertainty as to
banking and currency legislation, and that
this would certainly disturb disturb all business
every important industry. Harrison and
Reid will be elected and the next four years
will be the most prosperous business years
in the history Of the country"
DR.. JAMES f. EDWARDS, who was elected
to the New York Senate last year as an Inde-
pendent Republican, supported by Demo
Gratis, and who has to an extent acted with
that party, announces that he will take the
stump for Harrison and Reid. He declares
that the Mckinley law has completely vim
dicated itself, and that he is firmly con.
vtnced Of the benefits OF protection.
COLONEL WILLIAM L., familiarly known
as "Bill" Brown, who won fortune on Cleve-
land in 1884, and lost IL bigger one in 1888, 8
on deck in NewjY with another pocket
full of money. He is State Senator and
very popular among the Democratic polite
fans. He announced publicly the other day
that he had $l00,000 he was willing to wager
on Cleveland this time. While Colonel
Brown was warming up to his subject q
slight gentleman who recognized in the en-
thusiastic Democrat on the sidewalk the big
bettor of New York, filled up pause In
Colonel Browns harangue by casually re-
marking that he would like to bet 5000 on
Harrison. II am the man you are looking
for" said Colonel Brown, wheeling about
quickly. "Shall we put up the money now?''
The gentleman nodded acquiescence and
the two walked together up to the hotel
clerks desk, where Colonel Brown
promptly pulled a roll of bills and care.

to give his name, he turned to Colonel
Brown and suggested that the money should
be counted over again to sec that til erc was
no mistake. The hotel clerk took the money
out OF the envelope. Colonel Browns ten
