A Fair Eieeuon Assured.
From ali directions IN the state come
evidences that Mr.. Cleveland is going to
get showed under IN New York. Demo-
Gratis at national and state hesdQuar-
ters are fully aware of this situation,
aud As last desperate resort Mr..
Cleveland himself aaG two millions of
dollars are ordered TO the front. The
seere. ballot has seriously interfered
with the buying OF votes; a man who
taxes money for bis vote will vote AS
he pleases IN q secret ballot
The money can now be used almost
exclusively IN corruptipg the regIstra-
tion-and the registration was CON-
pleted happily before the democrats
took serious alarm. Now the use of
money must be confined largely TO buy
log men on not to vote at all. A dis
tInct organization TO this effect has
been made by the democrats for the

north, will be the fAirest one ever held

II must be remembered that the re-
publlcans. by the most liberal calcula-
ton. can yin with New York and with
ont Indiana and Connecticut, ana
without New York and with Indiana
and Connecticut, or without two Of
them and with the other. West Vir-
ginia IS as certain for the republicans
as New Jersey and Connecticut are for
the democrats As for the west and
northwest the democrats have abau-
doned all expectations. and are con-
centrating all their efforts upon In
disns and Connecticut as their only
salvation outside of New York. There
IL one point evident as you visit the
two national headquarters and obtain
the figures of the managers. Those of
the republicans are accurate and con-
else. Those of the democrats are spec
ulativc- The figures OF the republi-
cans are specific. but you can't call q
democrat down TO precision in figures.
and when asked for an explanation of
tire fact that interior democratic
sirongholds, such as Albany. Troy,
etc, snow reduced registration. while
al republican cities and Counties where
Harrison rad majority IN 1858 show
increased registration. one gets no sat

SONS Of the New York democracy to-
day. Mr.. Croker simply says that
Cleveland Will carry the city by -. 600
