HARRIsoN's CHANCES.
The Indications Now Are That He w
Carry the State.

The Indications Now Are That he VIII
Carry the State.
From all over the State come the most
encouraging reports as TO the outlook Tor
the Presidential campaign.
At one time there was some little uneasi-
ness felt in Republican circles owing to the
fact that the PEOPLES party vote was an IN
certain quantity, but as the matter now
stands it is safe TO say the vote for Harri-
son will exceed that cast for him in 1888.
The counties where the greatest vote for
the Peoples party will be cast, it SO hap
pens. are Democratic. and on that account
Cleveland will get the worst OF it.
SO far as the question has been figured
out up TO date Fresno. Kern. MERGED. STAN
islaus and Colusa will be the counties most
greatly affected. All of them are strongly
Democratic in their tendencies, and it is
easy to see that the Republicans will not be
hurt so badly as their opponents.
Hervey Lindley. Republican candidate
for Congress in the Sixth District, is not at
all disturbed over the outlook.
''In many Districts" said he, II do not
see how Weaver's friends can have any
very strong hopes At one time it was
rumored that the Peoples party were strong
in San Luis ObispO and Santa Barbara, but
careful investigation OF the facts does not
bear out the assertion"
In Los Angeles the Republicans will win
by their usual majority. No, Harrison will
have it all his own way in the Sixth.
II. Y. Morehouse of Santa Clara says
Harrison will carry his county by an in
creased majority.
Said he yesterday: ''The people of our
section, with hundreds of whom l have
talked, are for Harrison, and will stand by
him at the polls. The Chicago tariff plank
did more TO hurt Cleveland in Santa Clara
than anything else"
j. A. Lonttit, ex-Congressman from
Stockton, gives it as his opinion that the
President will carry San Joaquin County.
The Peoples party will cut very small
figure in our section" he said, land what
few votes they get will be drawn mostly
from the Democrats. Blaine was our IA
vorite for the nomination, but our people
all admire Harrison's clean and splendid
record"
in Northern California" said General
n. Z. Chapman yesterday, "the people
seem to be III favor OF re-eIectlng Harri-
son. The party Is firmly united and there
is general impression abroad that Harri-
son has served faithfully and well. Ny
opinion, after careful survey of the siIua-
ton. is that the President will carry the
State by at least TO- 600 majority
Robert MeMurray. the Worlds Fair Com
lemissioner, believes the mining counties will
give Harrison an Increased vote.
1Ho iulHlus Ho says, All ltAIlLc
that Cleveland is hopelessly opposed to their
interests and see their only hope in the Re
publican party. For that reason they will
give their votes to the President and he will
sweep the State"
So far as this city Is concerned there is a
variety OF opinions, but the belief is general
that while the contest may be close Harrison
has the best of it.
In thirty-two years San Francisco has
been carried by Democratic candidates for
President but twice. Hancock was given
majority over Garfield. but that, it will be
remem bered, was because of the Morey
letter. AT that time the anti Chinese senti-
ment was at its height, and the famous let
ter coming on the very eve OF the election
defeated the Republicans.
The second instance was when Cleveland
carried the city four years ago on the very
heels OF his having affixed his signature to
the Scott exclusion act To-day the condi-
tions are vastly different.
Taken all in all. it will be seen that the
city has, as a rule. stood by the Republicans
in national contests, and there is reason in
the belief OF well-informed politicians that
Cleveland VIII be defeated locally.
