Ex-Solicitor General Goode Confident of
Democratic Success.
Mr.. John Goode. who was Cevelands So
licitor general, said to q STAR reporter today:
II am satisfied now that Mr. Cleveland IL
going to be elected. think the drift is all his
way and do not think that money, political
cieverness or anything else is going to be able
to defeat him. He will get the vote Of the
solid south. with the possible exception Of West
Virginia. I do not know how things are in
West Virginia.
There was one time when the third party
movement gave US some uneasiness in Virginia,
but that has all passed away. The peoples
party will not do enough in Virginia to amount
to anything; nor will they elsewhere In the
south. The reports hear from New York and
Indiana 60 to show that Cleveland is very
strong; that the party is in good shape and will
carry those states"

fair grounds after following him in a process
sion about the principal streets. Chairman

thusiasm prevails. Democratic clubs are here
from twenty or thirty towns and the citSis full
Of visitors.
Gen. Stevenson began speaking at noon and
spoke for two hours, touching chiefly on the
tariff, "force bill'' and the "billion dollar Con-
grees." He admonished all wandering demo-

NOT A LEGAL HOLIDAY THERE.

Friday Has Not Been Set Apart I'm New
York for Especial Observance.
ALBANY, n. Y, Oct 1s.-"The report in the
morning papers that Gov. Flower would today
issue statement regarding Friday next being
q legal holiday is not founded on any informs-
ton given out from the executive chamber"
said Col. Williams, the governors pri-
waite secretary, this morning. "The
fact OF the matter is," said the
colonel, .'the 2lst Of this month is not legal
holiday in this state. Our state legislature
named the 18th instant as the day on which We
were to celebrate the discovery Of America
Other states in which q day had not been
named set apart the 2lst as the day to
be observed in such states, in Pur-
saance Of the request OF the Presi-
dent. Governor Flower has taken no
action In the matter. Friday would not be a
legal holiday in this state unless set apart a.
such by proclamation Of the governor. The
governor would probably have issued suoh
proclamation il the etate legislature had mot
previously designated October II as Columbus
day."
