The Democratic campaiRners at State head
quarters turned on steam yesterday and made
II the llveliest day since that little army gath
cred at Saratoga to nominate the ticket which
Is to be voted for on Tuesday next The ar
rival OF Chairman Edward Murphy. Jrr from
Washington put new life into tho campaign.
Practically the headr ruarters we're transferred
from the bureau in West Twenty.fourth street
to Senator Murphys parlors In the Hoffman
House. Lieut.-Gov Shoehan. Chairman oil tho
Campaign Committee. has been overworked
Mr. Murphy has been detained in Washington
by his duties. and has had little or no time to
devote to the fight. On his arrival In town.
therefore. he took some OF the burden from Mr..
Sheehan's shoulders. and the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor could take breathing spell yesterday.
He was with Mr.. Murphy most OF the time and
will leave for Buffalo this morning.
Senator Murphy's rarlors were crowded all
day and far into the night with Democratic
leaders from New York. Kings. Queens. AL
bany. and the flfty-six other counties in the
State All had been summoned to state eA-
actly the situation in their respective domains.
There were weak spots In various localities to
this was quickly and satisfactorily accom-
plished. All OF the Democratic ambassadors
from the various constituencies told OF
the listless and half-hearted campaigning
conducted by the Republicans. They were
also asked to give as nearly as possible the
absolute facts concerning the reports OF dis
affection over Judge Maynard's candidacy.
The Democratic campaigners did not In any
way strive to conceal the actual situation. In
this they were congratulated on the ground
that it is always better to 90 into fight on elec-
tion day knowing exactly tho forces in opposi-
ton. Nothing was taken for granted. nothing
was paliated. and only the bsolute facts were
wani ed. The conclusion reached by those In
charge OF the battle is that opposed to the
tag and -bobtail lot Of Republicans and those
whom the anti aynard lawyers In the Bar
Association can influence. No, serious dis
affection was reported because OF the business
depression. .
The situation summed up. therefore. in the

ingly, declared that he believed the ticket
would nave btIOUO majority IN New loTk. couu-
ty 1t was said that Richard Crokcr's figures
are anywhere between 10000 and $4,000. hut
that he may alter his figures on Sunday even-
ing when all the district captains are to report
at tho Wigwam.
The universal opinion Of Democrats. who by
their experience are entitled to consideration.
was that the sentiment was changing every
hour in favor OF the whole Democratic State
ticket. The concentrated attack on Judge
Maynard it was said. has aroused the ire OF
the Democratic party. and for this reason
every county and cross-roads leader received

entire ticket from top to bottom. The fight
now Is to swell the Democratic majority In
every Democratic stronghold.
The Hon. Louis X; Church. formerly Terri
torial Governor of Dakota was at State head
quarters. and also called on Senator Murphy
and his friends at tho Hoffman House. He
