Manley's Summing Up.
Joseph Il. Manley, chairman of the Re
publican national executive committee,
ays that wherever an election has oc-
urrcd during the last five months the
rift and trend have all been from the
Democratic to the Republican party.
After setting forth several acts of the
Democratic party, which, in his opinion.
rave tended to produce this dissatisfac-
ion, Mr.. Manlcy continues: ut is no
)rophcsy to assert that the Republican
)arty will carry the majority of the con-
;ressional delegations in 26 states out OF
he A, and thus have clear majority in
he next house of representatives, which
will end all effort in the presidential cleo
ion of SO Of an attempt to throw thn
lection of president and vice president
nto the house. 1t is reasonably assured
hat the Republicans will organize the
lcxt house of representatives, having a
1-nrvintr from, IN n % All ipIi-
ations point to the defeat of Mr.. Springer
If Illinois, Holman in Indiana and VII
on in West Virginia.
The Democrats will lose after March
ext their asccndency in the United States
enatc Unfortunately, for two years, the
'opulists will hold the balance of power
the senate Great aS is the interest in
ne election in every section of the country
lew York is the pivotal state, the section
o which all eyes are turned, and after all
ne most important in its results of any
lection that will occur on Tuesday
What is to be the result in New York;? is
The Inquiry From Every Quarter.
"From Il careful survey of the situation
aking into consideration all the different
lements and forces at work, it does not
eem in the possibilities to defeat Mr..
Iorton 1t must be remembered that in
he past 20 years the Democratic party has
iever carrie an election in New York BY
majority greater than $1,000, nor has
my party for that matter, with the single
reception of Cleveland for governor over
'olger and the defeat of Maynard last
ear both phenomenal elections; in the
ne case resulting from a refusal of 200, ,00O
republicans to endorse its party's action
nd in the other from nearly 1896 Dem
,crats condemning the conduct of i.s own
PARTY The dissatisfaction of the Wheeler
Democrats alone will be sufficient to cause
dr. Hills defeat"
Mr.. Manley claims that the business de
,ression will have its effect and turn votes
nto the Republican column. He also as
,erts that the fight against Tammany in
his city and tate will have its effect.
"The revolution against Tammany," he
says, will not stop with simply voting
the municipal reform ticket The people
who are determined to overthrow Tam
many know very well that their efforts
yill have been in vain if they simply over
,hrow the Tammany organization in the
ty, and permit the Tammany organiza-
lion to succeed in the state. To make their
work thorough and successful they must
not only defeat Grant in New York, but
hey must defeat Hill in the state"
