A CLOSE FIGHT.
What Gen. Eoder Says Of the Chances of
Harrison and Cleveland,

Harrison and Cleveland.
ats going to be a close fight" said Gen. 9.
S. Yoder, sergeant-at-arms of the House. to a
STAR reporter today.
Gen. Yoder was talking about the Harrison
Cleveland combat. of course. He has been in
New England and northern New York for the
past few days and has had opportunity to see
how things are moving in political circles
Connecticut is very doubtful said he,
land it really would not surprise me if its
electoral vote went to Harrison. The republ-
cans there are spending great deal of money
and may realize on their investment. The
manufacturing interests seem to be thoroughly
aroused. In Massachusetts We expect to re-
elect Gov. Russell and are hoping to carry the
state for Cleveland. Perhaps our homes
are not well founded. but we keep on
hoping just the same. The party is in
bad shape in New Jersey, and it seems annoy-
ingly sure that we shall lose the governor. but
Cleveland will capture the electoral vote GER
talnly. UP IN northern New York there is more
politics to the acre than anywhere else in the
land. At Buffalo everything locks like Cleye-
land, and unless appearances are very
deceptive he will get Erie county in
good shape. In Rochester there is more
apparent republicanism. The manufacturers

lie Is about to erect a building which will
double his capacity and he assured me that
without protection this would never have been
possible. There are more than 600 factories in
Rochester, 50 you cannot expect democratic
majority there. l do not believe, though that
the republicans can bring to Harlem bridge
bigger majority than they had in 1888. and if
that is SO we shall beat them, for the recistra-
ton shows us largely increased democratic
vote in New York city.
Had the election been held in Ohio thirty
days ago the state vote would have been cast
for Cleveland. Things have changed since.
though, for the republicans have opened their
eyes. their mouths and their pocket books.
Their majority will be cut away down,
though. because the farmers are tired
of the tariff. l know of many men
who have heretofore voted the republican
ticket but who will drop a Cleveland
ballot this time. Most of these are friends of
Foraker. They hate Sherman and know that
victory for Harrison means an extension of
power for Sherman and nothing for them
selves. 1t is through this Sherman Foraker
strife that the republicans will lose most of the
votes that for the first time will be cast for
Cleveland and democracy

All Republicans Will Not stand by the
Fusion Ticket.

RALEIGH. \. C., Oct. 81. 1892.
Chief Supervisor Shaffer has recommended

States supervisors of election. covering twenty
six counties. These cover all those in the sec
ond district. OF all the supervisors there are
democrats in only one county, Edgecombe
There we're others, but they all resigned. In
fact none of them were officially recommended
The result is that all the supervisors are repub-
licans or third party men. Those two parties
pooled their issues on the question of super
visors just as they have done on everything
else.
Now that Saunders, the republican nominee
for Congress in this district, has stepped down
and urged his friends to stand by W. +. Stroud
the third party nominee. there remains in the
field Stroud, Bum, the democrat. and John H.
Williamson. colored. Independent republican
The republicans who are working with the
third party hate Williamson. They ridicule
him ceaselessly. The Progressive Farmer, the
third party's chief organ. attacks Williamson,
saying he is hired by the democrats to run.
Today Williamson replies, and by reason Of the
fact that he is running on the strange platform

Mr.. f. NJ. Burchard, the congressional can
didate of the peoples party for the NTH con-
gressional district, said 10 The STAR reporter
yesterday that the party was favorably inclined
toward the single tax theory, but that the words
single tax were misleading. as what il really be-
heved in was the people being q universal
ground-rent landlord. He stated that he was
of the opinion that the party would receive
sufficient number of votes in the
congressional district to entitle il TO
recognition. and that he expected that il would
hold the balance of power In the country after
the election; that this campaign was one Of
education, and would prove itself TO be so. and
that in the seventeenth yard OF Baltimore,
which belongs to this congressional district,
there had been ,rea deal of local agitation
which would have the effect of causing Q good
many votes TO be cast for the party.
