Chairman Harrity's Views.

The work Of the presidential campaign
being virtually ended. Chairman William
+. Harrity OF the National Democratic
Committee. dictated tonight this state
ment OF the situation to a representa-
tive or 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. It has
been our aim TO keep ourselves accurately
Informed as to the political conditions
existing In all OF the States, and espe-
cially in those that are close and doubtful
All Of our advices up to the present hour
Justify us in claiming that Mr.. Cleveland
will De elected. Indeed, the belief is grow
Ing that the Republican managers have
praC ically conceded this much, for the
reason that the wagers made upon the
election contain the admission that New
York will surely give her electoral vote
10 Mr.. Cleveland by n decisive majority.
1.-The causes that exist In New York to
produce this condition Of affairs must be
found elsewhere, notably in New Jersey
and In Connecticut II New York shall
vote for Mr. Cleveland by a large ma
jOrty, as IL now seems probable then
New Jersey and Connecticut are almost
certain to do likewise. This is also true
TO very great extent In Indiana. Fur
thermore, IL we shall carry New York
by a large majority, it will not be sur
prising il Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa
shall give their electoral votes 10 Mr..
Cleveland. l regard Wisconsin as rea-
sonaby certain to give Democratic ma
jority In any event our friends are quite
hopeful Of good results in Illinois and
Michigan, and / think they have reason
for their hope
"As TO the campaign in the Southern
States, our committee has reason to feel
gratifed With it's work. Desperate ef-
forts have been made by the Republican
managers to secure the electoral vote Of
Alabama. but from the best information
we can obtain from conservative judges
we have reason to believe that our Re
publican friends win be doomed to great
disappointment The Democratic electo-
raj ticket in Alabama Will win by good
majority.
In West Virginia the fight has been
close and hard, but our friends In that
State no longer regard the issue III doubt
Ii Is understood that the Republican
managers have expended a good deal Of
money I'm West Virginia, bat I am as
sured that they Will awaken to the fact
on Tuesday night that their money has
been spent In vain. We have splendid
organization In that State, win men OF
intelligence hrmness, sagacity and cour-
age in command They assure us that
West Virginia is still Democratic, AMI we
have entire confidence In their judgment.
"The campaign In Delaware involves the
election of a United states Senator as
well as the electoral vote and Congress
man. A good deal of money has been
poured into that State. much Of which
has been raised In Philadelphia. our
Democratic friends have been fully ad-
vised Of the movement Of the Republican
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, the Democratic managers
have reason to feel satisfied with the
outlook We are vain enough to think
that no blunders have been committed
and that nothing has been done to bring
reproach upon the party, the candidates
or the managers. We await the election
with equanimity, feeling morally certain
that the vote on Tuesday will result in
Mr.. Cleveland's triumphant election"
