York, next week, to take part in
the Columbus celebration is still
a matter of doubt, and dependent
upon the condition of Mrs. Harrison,
which is Crather unfavOrable this
week. If the President cannot go
he will request Vice President Nor
ton to take.his place, and all of the
members of the Cabinet have pro-
missed to attend
National committeeman Clarkson
of Iowa, and Hobart, of New Jer-
sey, left theiri duties at headquar-
tars this week long enough to hold
several highly important political
conferences in Washington, among
them one with the President and
another with Secretary CHARTS
Foster .EThey drought cheering
news of the campaign. Gen. Clark.
son says New York is certain to
give its votes to Harrison and Reid
and that there is a good fighting
chance tin both Connecticut and
New Jersey; that the recent change
of sentiment in favor of the Repub-
licans in Wisconsin, brought about
by ex Senator SpOOner'S splendid
and aggressive compaign, has made
that State certain; that Minnesota
and Iowa have already placed
themselves in the certain column,
and that all the information re-
cieved:from the Dakotas and Ne
braska favor Republican success in
those States. "Even granting, "said
Gen. Clarkson, that the South re-
mains solid, which is very doubtful,
where can the Democrats get other
Ga electoral votes that they have to
win? They cannot get them, that's
all there is about lit, and Mr.. Cleve-
land is doomed" Gen. Hobart
thinks that fair election in New
Jersey will give that state to the
Republicans by at least 1900, and
as Jersey City, where most Of the
fraudulent voting has been done,
is now under Republican control
the chances are in favor of a fair
elections,
.Secretary Charles Foster left
here today upon a.trip combining
campaigning with recreation that
will:last until election day. He
starts .the campaigning with a
peech tonight at a big Republican
ally at Frederick, Maryland
Then he will 60 to the Catskills
and on. the II, inst. will make a
speech ut GOuverneur, New York
On the -, he will meet as many OF
the members of the Cabinet as car
attend In New York City to par
ticipate in the Columbus Day Gel
ebration. From there he will e
to Black Lake for few days fish
ing, then to Ohio and work, nigh
and day, until the campaign closes
Speaking of the situation, before
leaving here, the Secretary said
81 think the President will be re
elected in fact there has neve,
been any doubt in my upon that
point. So far as the Gresham nj
tiuence is concerned l know yer,
little. Indiana is usually Demo
cratic state except in Presidential
year, although l believe the Demo
Gratis have once in a while carried
it even then. However, the clos,
frie nds of the President from In
diana, men who would not hesitat,
to tell him the exact situation, SAY
that he is sure to carry it. Tn,
Republicans will carry both New
York and Connecticut, and will
them, of course majority of the
votes in the electoral college.
A smile went around anon,
Republicans when the Democrat
began to shout because of the an
nouncement that Judge Cooley o
Michigan, would vote for Cleve
land. Mr.. Cleveland, when Pres
ident. appointed sJudge Cooley
member of the Interstate commerce
commission, and the Judge ha
already voted for Mr.. Cleveland
certainly in 1888, and probably il
1884. Another broad smile greete,
the colunn letter of Wayne Nc
Weigh, who because of his bein,
the son-in-law of the old Republical
stalwart, Simon Cameron, wa
taken into President Garfield
cabinet as Attorney General, eX
planning why he should vote fo
Cleveland. an explanation entirel,
unnecessary, because nobody caret
