The Republicans Feel
Confident.
Democrats Are Divided
into Factions.
Ex President Harrison Expected to
Make a Speech at Monster
Meeting for Morton.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The republi-
can managers of the state campaign,
While actively at work pushing their
canvass in all parts of the state, are
unable to find anything like distress
ing indications in their ranks and in
serene confidence are watching the at
tempts of their democratic adversaries
to adjust and harncnize the factiCnal
disturbances with which they are be-
set OH all sides and especially in this
city. EX-President Harrison will az
rive here later in the week to attend
to some private business and while
he is in the city, it is Chairman Hack
ett's intention to arrange if possible. a
mammoth meeting At which the eX-
president will speak, and his former
rnnning mate. Levi p. Morton. now
republican candidate for governor, will
be present.
Senator Hill spoke at Yonkers today.
He will speak at Brooklyn tomorrow
afternoon and i'll New York and vi
cinity until Friday, when he will re-
turn to the interior of the state. A
good deal will depend on the result of
his visit and conference with the local
leaders. The situation so far as New
York and Brooklyn candidates for
congress and assembly are concerned
is very critical, with the county dem
Ocratic candidates opposing Tammany
congressional and assembly candidates
in this city, and the Shepard candl-
dates running against the regular
nominees in Brooklyn districts, save
that represented by Coombs. There
are nine congressional districts in this
city aDd five in Brooklyn.
The opposition of the county democ-
racy Candidates jeopardizes tie cleo
ton of from one to four Tammany
candidates III this city, and the Shcp-
hardites endanger four in districts in
Brooklyn. AS the margin by which
the democratic managers hope to car
ry the next house of representatives
is narrow, the situation is regarded as
extremely grave at democratic head
quarters All the efforts heretofore
made toward harmOnizing differences
and to prevent the possibility of re-
publicaus slipping in through demo
cratic divisions have thus far proved
Intellectual.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
democratic congressional campaign
committee, will be here tomorrow to
witness the result of the present ef-
forts. Richard Croker and Perry Bel
mont, President Cleveland's eX-minis-
ter to Spain, were at democratic head
quarters regarding this question. Sen
ator Hill Mr.. Croker and other leaders
are said to be advising the policy of
concession, but Lieutenant-Governor
Sheehan said this evening no basis Of
agreement had yet been reached. Lieu
tenant-GOvernOr Sheehan this after
noon gave cut an interview ill regard
to the charges of colonization of voters
made by republicans, in which he
makes cOuntercharges against them.
HARRISON EXPECTED.
New York. Oct. 22.-EX-President
Harrison will reach this city tomor-
row, when an effort will be made to
induce him to make one or more
speeches in advocacy of ex-Vicc Pres
idcnt Morton's candidacy for the gov
ernorship.

posed to the freedom Of thought aud
worship of God according to the die
tates of ones own conscience"
