That brilliant Tammany orator and member
of the House, Bourke Cochran. seems TO have
changed his mind since he told the democ ATTIC
convention on June % that Cleveland could not
carry New York and could not be elected. At
least he comes TO the front now with beauti-
fully rounded assertion that everything lovely.
He authorized the democratic literary bureau
today TO give the following statement as coming
from him:
Il do now see a single break now in the hori-
zon. Everything is working together for demo-
cratic success. / am firm in the opinion that
the state of New York is safer for Cleveland and
Stevenson than any other of the seriously con-
tested states. l am going to speak in Indiana

II all the republicans were as earnest in their
devotion to the party and as active in promot-
ing its interests as is 7. II. Carter, the coiured
Treasury Department messenger, who is en-
plOyed ut the republican headquarters here,
there would not be much question of republic
can success. Since coming here he has organ
lied colored republican club in the seven
teenth assembly district. which club has now n
membership OF 450. and among them quite a
large number who voted for Cleveland in the
last campaign.
TROUBLE AMONG TIE DEMOCRATS.
There can be no doubt that there is a good
deal Of tronble inside of the democratic ranks
here. And the division between the two fac
tons of the democratic party seem to
be growing wider than otherwise. Even
the independent newspapers. with large
seems to be no disposition on the part of the
followers of Senator Hill to take their coats
off and go to work. On the contrary the re-
verse seems to be the rule. Not only does Senator
Hill keep out of the range of the leaders on
the democratic side Of the campaign, but those
who were his ardent supporters continue TO
henpeck the leaders of the Cleveland party and
to do many things that tend to discord rather
than harmony.
These things are producing tie belief in the
minds Of almost everybody that many of those
who opposed the nomination of Cleveland want
to see their prediction made good that he can
not carry New York state.
Nobody lis able to make anything else, for in
stance. out of the action of Labor Commits
sioner Peck, though that gentleman insists that
he is going to vote for Cleveland himself. The
able editor of the Sun talks about anxiety for
democratic success, but continues to club the
tariff plank of the platform, to prod Chairman
Harrity and intimate that he ought to be re-
moved from the craftsmanship because of his
attitude in the fight in Philadelphia over the re-
nomination of Congressman McAleer in the
district which was formerly represented by the
late Samuel J. Randall.
At Buffalo the bitterness between the two
factions has grown very strong and broken out
in open warfare. Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan. the
chairman OF the state campaign committee and
a Hill man, does not seem to get along with
Chairman Harrity, and it is intimated that the
OF taking charge of the campaign in New York
All these things are making the democrats
here feel very blue. They admit frankly that
unless there is some improvement in the situa-
ton and the Hill followers are in some way
placated they are likely TO make a mess Of it in
this state. News from the interior Of the state
indicates a moro satisfactory situation from the
democratic standpoint. but. of course, without
the active and cordial cooperation of New
York city and Brooklyn there can be little hope
Of democratic success.
The movements OF the leaders on both sides
are being watched with great deal of interest
now Chairman Sheehan of the state COM
mittee has intimated that the campaign in the
state will open up about the 18th. Probably he
is waiting for the Sullivan-Corbett prize fight
to get out of the way, for il must be admitted
that that event is attracting more attention now
than the political campaign Meantime, how
ever. the movements OF Dickinson, Harrity and
others of the Cleveland element are being
watched with interest.
There is reason to believe that if the Cleve-
land element expect any cordial cooperation
from the other side they have got to make some
substantial advances in the way of Cancellation.
Whether they will do it not is more than
anybody here is able to say. The republicans
have attended to that duty on their own side
with great success apparently.
NO REPUBLICAN sULK1NG.
Ex-senator Platt and his followers, who held
about the same relations to the republican situ-
alton that Hill and his people do to the demo-
cratic, have been fully 'placated" There is
not II republican iii New York state now sulk-
ing OF negiecting any. duty.
Will the democrats be able TO accomplish the
same act in their ranks! That is something
that nobody is able to answer. One difficulty
seems to be that they have u comparatively in
experienced and impracticable lot of men az the
head Of the national committee. while if Mr..
Cleveland himself has given any signs of con-
Citation or attempts at harmony nobody seems
to have heard of it.
One thing that strikes the average Washing
tonian here particularly curious is the abb
sence of any enthusiasm for Cleveland among
the people who were nearest to him when he
was President. Aside from ex-Postmaster Gen
eral Dickinson and ex-Secretary Whitney none
of his official family seem to be aware that he
is candidate in need of any attention.
Private Secretary Lamont is unheard of, though
right here in New York city; ex-Treasurer Jor-
dan although a resident of New York city, is
never seen at headquarters and his name has
scarcely been mentioned since the fight began
ex-Secretary Fairchild appears to be entirely
in the background. and as for Garland. Bayard
and others who were in the cabret or neaf to
Mr.. Cleveland they are unheard Of in the
campaign.
