Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-10-03
NEW YORK ALL RIGHT
CONGRESSMAN CUMMINGS ON THE
 OUTLOOK.

Duty-The Prospects of Victory Were
 Never Brighter.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The political sky, so far as the Democracy is con- cerneds is by no means cloudy. The sun shines as steadily as in the great cam paign of 1884, and the prospects of vic- tory are fully as bright. In New York the Democrats will do their duty. They are fully as enthusiastic as they were in the campaign eight years ago.
 Tammany Hall is thoroughly organ ized and will lead the fight in this state So far the skirmishing has been des- ultory. The fight will not fairly open until MT. Cleveland's letter of accept ance is received and local and congress sional nominations are made. Then MT. Croker will establish his permanent headquarters at Tammany hall and give all his attention to the canvass. Tam many itself will be responsible for the city. Its honor and it's safety are at stake, and it will strain every nerve to give MT. Cleveland a larger majority than that received by Governor Flower last fall. Able lieutenants of MT. Croker in the different city assembly districts have made pledges that will, if carried out all along the line, give the Demo cratic presidential ticket 0,00O majority in the city.
 In Brooklyn the organization is equal ly thorough. Hugh Mclaughlin al- ways maintains strict discipline. There can be no defection in his ranks this fall. The campaign in Brooklyn was formally opened at the Academy of Mu- sic on Monday night with speech by Senator David B. Hill. There was no uncertain tinge in his speech. Hill is a Democrat, both in principle and train ing. He supports the ticket heartily and unreservedly. His words will be re- echoed in all parts of the state and will enthuse and enliven sections now inac- tive.
 The cause of the disaffection in Kings in 1888 has been removed, and prominent leaders there say they are convinced of their ability to carry the city by from 15,oOO to 10000 majority. The Democ- | racy will probably elect all the congress men in these two cities.
 Now for the state. The outlook is more than encouraging. Lieutenant Governor Sheehan has established his headquarters in the city, and is acting heart and soul with the state committee. Indeed he is the real state leader in the contest. He is young, active, energetic and untiring. No man more thoroughly knows the political ground. His canvass will be made even more close and Searching than that made last year when Governor Flower was the stand ard bearer. The governor carried the state by nearly 50,000 majority. The Republicans never made a harder fight. All the power of the administration was | placed at the back of J. Sloat Fassett. 1 their candidate for governor. Hundreds | of thousands of dollars were spent to in- sure his election. He was the especial favorite of Tom Platt and the machine leaders. Warner Miller's closest politi cal friend was induced to go upon the ticket with him. Yet an overwhelming Democratic victory was the result.
 This year the situation is far different. MT. Platt, chagrined at the defeat of James G. Blaine in Minneapolis, will hardly strain every nerve for Republic an success, as was done last fall. He has learned that presidential promises are pie crusts. Warner Miller is taking no active part in the campaign. There | is bitter dissatisfaction among the Re | publicans in the Onondago district. Then there is trouble in the new Os- wego and St. Lawrence districts over congressional nominations. In Kings county also there is an unhea1ed sore. Secretary Tracy's friends are factional and apparently uncomfortable. The sore is an old one and it will be difficult to heal it. In New York city the fight between the Republican short hairs and the kid glove element seems to have ceased. The late John J. O'Brien's friends have apparently been modified but they will hardly be able to deliver their goods. In 1888 O'Briens assembly district gave the Democratic candidate for mayor 5000 majority and the Re publican candidate for president 800 majority. This is surprise that can not be repeated. O'Brien is dead and many of his trusted ieutenants are il the Democratic ranks.
 So much for the situation in New
 York. There are no ,factional disturb ances among the Democrats. With { thorough organization and active worl the state is safe. There can be no doub about it.
