NO DOUBT OF NEW YORK.
MR. Do BIGNON SAYS TIE STATE
IS SAFELY DEMOCRATIC.

Tammeny to Show It's Allegiance to
the Psrty-Au Unmistaksble Air Of
Confidence in Democratic Councils
Everywhere-The Significance of the
Maine and Vermont Elections and
Effect Of the Australian BaIIot-Mr.
duBiRnon's Talk With Cleveland.
Hon. F. 9. duBignon returned from New
York yesterday morning. He comes south
at this time TO ill some Of the many calls
which have been made upon him in diff
ferent sections Of the state. He had upon his
desk urgent invitations from almost every
county In Georgia, besides a very pressing
one from Chairman J. F. BaYa Of Jackson
vile, to take part In the Florida campaign.
Mr.. duBignon will devote his entire time TO
the campaign until after the October cleo
ton, when he will return north to fill sew
eral engagements which the national COM
mittes has made for him in New York and
Indiana.
When asked his views upon the outlook,
Mr.. duBignon said that it is most encour-
aging. He has been for the past two week
In New York city and was at the demo-
cratic headquarters every day and has seen
and oonversed with prominent party lead
ers from every section Of the country.
There Is an unmistakabls air OF confidence,
be said, In democratic councils and 1t is
growing stronger every day.
NEW YORK IS SAFE.
Mr.. duBlgnon said New York state is
safely democratic. He met Gov. Hill
while at Saratoga and most Of the leaders
OF Tammany Hall organization. The ma
tional ticket, he said, will receive Tam
many's earnest support and Gov. Hill will
take the stump for the party during the
coming week.
SIN all my conversations, said Mr.. du-
Bignon, 81 heard but one opinion expressed,
and It was that New York city will give
Cleveland and Stevenson the largest ma
jority which any presidential candidate
ever received. or course, IL would be idle
to deny that there was at first no little dis
appointment over MIR. Hills defeat, but
Tammany proposes to show the country
that IL is a democratic organization and
that its highest allegiance is TO the party of
its principles. As one of its members re-
marked, "Tammany is now on trial and We
propose TO show you what kind Of stuff we
are made off,
TALK WITH CLEVELAND.
Mr.. duBignon had a short interview
with Mr.. Cleveland last week while at the
Victoria hotel, and reports him in the best Of
health and spirits. He is very sanguine of
bu5 result, ana e3pecIS enat Ene republicans
will have their eyes opened 10 the north
west. Mr.. Cleveland had been in conference
with Chairman Ed. Murphy, BOSS" Me-
| Laughlin and other leaders in New York
| and Brooklyn, and was much gratlfled by
| their report Of the situation.
Mr.. duBignon attaches great significance
TO the result of the elections In Maine and
Vermont. "In fact" said he, whenever
| and wherever the Australian ballot system
has been adopted, the republican vote has
| been reduced and the democratic vote in
creased. It shows that when the lRborinR
classes are left ,untrammeled to their own
convictions, uncontrolled by protectionist
employers, they either vote the democratic
ticket or abstain from voting at all.
PROTECTED BALLOT.
with the Australian system In Indiana
believe that state would be as safely demo-
cratic as Georgia" He added that some Of
the third party people might regard the
comparison az equivooal, bus they will not
| think so this time next month.
| Mr.. duBignon did not know where he will
| speak first, as he 10 expecting letter from
| Chairman Atkinson to-day, but thinks he
will open his canvass in North Georgia to-
| morrow or Tuesday.
