NEW YORK, November 4.-The work Of
the presidential campaign being virtually
/ ended Chairman William F. Harrlty, of
the National Democratic Committee, die
tated this statement of the situation to a
representative of the United Press:
THE work Of the National Democratic
Committee Is about completed, and we
have reason to believe that the result will
be entirely satisfactory. Ii has been our
| aim to keep ourselves accurately Informed
as to the political conditions existing IN
all the States, and especially in those
that are close and doubtful. All of our
| advices up 10 the present hour Justify us
in claiming that Mr.. Cleveland will be
| elected; indeed, the belief is growing that
| the Republican managers have practically
the wagers made upon the election contain
the admission that New York will surely
give her electoral vote to Mr.. Cleveland by
decisive majority.
NEW JERSEY AND CONNECTICUT.
THE causes that exist in New York TO
produce this condition of affairs must be
found elsewhere. notably in New JERSEY
and in Connecticut. If New York shall
vote for MIR. Cleveland by large majority,
rs II now seems probable il will, then New
Jersey and Connecticut are almost GER
tain TO do likewise. This is also true
TO a very great extent of Indiana. Further
more, If we shall carry New York by a
large majority, II will not be surprising if
Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa shall give
their electoral votes to Mr.. Cleveland. |
regard Wisconsin as reasonably certain TO
give a Democratic majority in any event.
Our friends are quite hopeful of good re-
suits IN Illinois and Michigan, and think
they have good reason for their hope.
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
" As to the campaign in the southern
States our committee has reason to feel
gratified with its work. Desperate efforts
have been made by the Republican mana
gers to secure the electoral vote of Ala
bama, but from the best information we
can obtain from conservative Judges, we
have reason to believe that our Republican
friends will be doomed to great disap-
pointment. The Democratic electoral
ticket in Alabama will win by good ma
iority. In West Virginia the fight has
been close and hard. but our friends in
that State no longer regard the issue as IN
doubt.
at is understood that the Republican
managers have expended good deal OF
money IN vest Virginia but am assured
that they will awaken to the fact on Tues
day night that their money has been spent
In vain. We have a splendid organization
IN that State with men of intelligence,
frmness, sagacity, and courage IN COM
mand. They assure US that West Virginia
is still Democratic, and we have entire
confidence in their judgment.
LITTLE DELAWARE.
THE campaign in Delaware involves
the election of "A United States senator, as
well as the electoral vote and a congress
man. good deal of money has been
poured into that State. much of which
has been raised in Philadelphia.
OR Democratic friends have been
fully advised of the movement of the Re
publican managers, and are on the alert:
Our leaders are active and energetic. and
feel assured that Delaware can still be
counted as among the Democratic States"
"On the WHOLE" concluded Chairman
Harrity, " the Democratic managers have
reason 10 feel satisfied with the out
look. We are vain enough to think that no
bluuders have beeu committed, and that
nothing has been done TO bring reproach
upon the party, the candidates. or the
managers. We await the election with
eauanimity, feeling morally certain that
the vote on Tuesday will result in bIr.
Cleyeland's triumphant election"
