tically won is the announcement made al
1ammany hall Today is the last day Of
registration aud both parties are hustling
to bring out the backward registers. The
national Democratic headquarters received
another dispatch from the western head
quarters giving "a roseato hue of the situa-
tion in the west, so far as the Democrats
are concerned Among other things, the
dispatch says. in several Of the western
states there have been numerous defections
from the Republican ranks on the part OF
prominent men, who have declared their
intentions Of voting for the national can
didates Of the Democratic party that the
Republicans have practically abandoned
all hope of carrying Illinois for their state
ticket, and that the sporting fraternity are
betting even that Cleveland will carry the
state.
Among the callers at Democratic nation
al headquarters were Vice Presidential
Candidate Stevenson and General James S.
Ewing, his law partner. General Stevenson
was in the best of spirits. In conversation
with a reporterof the United Press he said:
s,evenson's observations.
wherever have been in this campaign
the trend seems to be in favor Of the De
iuocracy. am an old campaigner and have
spoken i'm over twenty campaigns. never
saw movement more universal than this
Democratic movement, and Democratic vic
tory is in the air, as the saying goes. ]

privately If there were any Democratic de
fections. That is one OF the ways ! have
always employed in ascertaining the drift
OF sentiment | have been unable to find
anywhere a single notable Democratic de
fection. An the men who voted for Mr.
Cleveland ia 1854 and in 1855 seem to be go
ing to vote for him again, and the acCes-
sions are certainly very numerous.
'The pleasantest time I have had on my
trip-I must say this without derogatiou
to other sections of the country where ]
have been most cordially received-was in
North Carolina, my birthplace. 1t was
pleasant to SO back there 1t was pleasant
to meet the people whom / knew for years.
and it is pleasahter still TO be assured, as
have been, that drew hundreds Of people
away from the Peoples party back to the
| Democracy. Nothing more gratifying has
occurred in my career than this.

was told by conservative gentleman there
that Connecticut would surely go Demo
cratic. OF course ] can only judge from
what I hear i'm such a case as that, but

like Stamford and the meetings elsewhere
like the meeting ! addressed, l certainly
have no fears General Stevenson ac-
companied by General Ewing, goes from
