and that there was no danger whatever
of Republican or third party success in
Louisiana. Senator Faulkner reported
that the force bill issue was nerving the
Democracy of West Virginia to su-
preme effort, and though one of Presi-
dent Harrison's cabinet ministers is no.
toriously endeavoring to carry that state
for his chief by methods characteristic
of his political career and of the party
which he serves, West Virginia will as
suredly roll up larger majority than
four or eight years ago for Cleveland.
Senator Hunton remarked that if the
Republicans were seriously proposing to
recoup themselves for expected western
losses by southern gains they were simply
deluding themselves and their followers
This is the general opinion in New York
among men of both parties. 1t is here
understood that the talk of carrying
southern states INDUCED by Republican
managers is mere bravado, designed to
cover their efforts to save the day in the
west, where their dominance has forever
come to an end.
Chairman Harrity and his efficient
corps of assistants appear to be going
ahead with their campaign ON the theory
that Cleveland can be elected without
New York, and that he can also be
elected with New York and without
any gains in the west. The meaning of
this is that they are simply making a
fight all along the line, chasing no rain
bows and indulging in no loose talk as
to what they are going to do, but i'm
| proving every opportunity to win an
electoral vote no matter where it is
found. 1t would surprise no one who is
carefully watching things here if there
should be a landslide for Cleveland and
| Stevenson. But the Democratic man
ayers are not counting on anything of
| the sort. They are perfecting organiza-
| ton, giving assistance and distributing
| documents in all parts of the country.
| They are preparing to contest every inch
of the ground, and certainly are not
| making the mistake of indulging in
overconfdence, no matter what may be
the opinion of impartial observers as to
the probable outcome of the campaign.
Establishment of campaign headquar-
tiers at Chicago for auxiliary work in
the west does not mean by any means
|
| Cleveland. While there are splendid
chances of carrying Wisconsin, Illinois,
large part of Michigan and other
western states, New York, Connecticut,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire are
not being neglected. The news from
the west is of a most encouraging ma
ture. In Wisconsin the Republicans
| concede that the Democrats have a good
chance to win. In Illinois it seems to
| be pretty sure that the Democratic state
| ticket will be elected, and if it goes
through by good majority it will carry
the national ticket through also. In
Iowa and Minnesota the Democrats are
so aggressive that the enemy is already
much worried, and in Nebraska and
Kansas there is a general expectation
that the electoral votes will go to the
candidates of the third party, thus in
flicting upon the Republicans fatal
loss in q section of the country which
has heretofore been one of their strong
| holds.
In New York state the outlook is full
of promise. The state campaign COM
mittee, with Lieutenant Governor Shee-
han at its head, has its headquarters
open and is hard at work organizing the
state. Its officers hear none but good
news from their territory-the counties
above Harlem river Prominent Demo
Gratis of all affiliations are forgetting
past differences and pulling together
for the national ticket. Those who are
best informed as to the situation
throughout the state say there will be
no dissensions anywhere and that an
enormous Democratic vote will be
polled. In New York city the regular
Democratic organization - Tammany
Halls already at work. 1t is en-
thusiastic and aggressive. 1t has started
its campaign earlier than usual, and
will work with its accustomed vigor fol
one of the greatest Democratic MAORI
ties ever rolled up in the metropolis.
From present indications the Cleve

Thousands of business men, who care
less about party than they do for good
government, are for Cleveland. Hun
