CARLISLE Z FOR HILL.

From Making Speeches Ben
ediet on the Outlook.

WASHINGTON, Oct 81. 18s4-The
Washington Post" publishes the follow
ing:-Secretary Carlisle regrets as much
as any one that he was compelled by
public business to decline invitations to
speak in New York this week. He is
thoroughly in sympathy with the Demo-
Gratis in the Empire State, and it is his
warmest wish that the party meet with
success on election day The Secretary
said yesterday that he earnestly desired
to see not only Senator Hill, but the en-
tire Democratic ticket elected. He said
Democrats in New York especially
should sink their personal feelings and
give loyal support to the Democratic
ticket, as the election in New York
would have an important bearing on the
Presidential election in 1896. He believed
that if every Democrat did his duty and
voted the straight ticket there would be
no question as to the result next Tues
day. He had no means of knowing
about the situation in New York other
than that contained in the newspapers,
and the reports were such as to make
it almost impossible to tell what the out
come would be.
AS Senator Hill had always been sue
cessful heretofore, the Secretary believed
that victory would again perch on the
Senator's banner.
MIR. BENEDICT TALKS.
Of all the members of Mr.. Cleveland S
official family, none is in closer touch
with the Democratic factions in New
York than Public Printer Benedict. He
has been a member of the Executive
Committee of the State Committee for
the past FIVE years.

soon as possible.

dict yesterday, assures me that the
siastic for success. While this place is
not favorable for political prognostica-
tions, 1 am very hopeful of success, and
am sure of united Democratic party
in the future of our State as the result
of Senator Hills splendid canvass"
Mr. Benedict was asked what strength
he gave the Wheeler ticket. He said 1t
has no strength outside of Kings, Erie
there he continued, Is about the same
as the Democratic vote given Harrison
in 1888, minus the McKane vote in
| Grayesend. The Wheeler men are, in
my opinion, almost to man the men
who defeated Mr. Cleveland in 'SS. The
thing most to be regretted in the Wheel
er ticket is that its managers VIII claim
from the election returns that they have
| a following in the State at large, by
reason of the errors made by ignorant
| voters on election day under Our ballot
| system BY reason of the large number
| of ballots this year errors will be greater
| than usual
| SOCIALIST BALLOTS.
s'In 1892 and '93 there were: from 1900
| to 20, 600 Socialist ballots cast in the State
| Of New York The votes were cast in
| every county of the State, while there is
/ scarcely a socialist In over half the
counties of the State, and 1t has been a
matter of inquiry where the Socialist
votes came from. 1t is generally adj
mitted that nearly. every one of these
! result of errors 1t is from this source
! the Wheeler ticket will get most of its
votes outside of three counties, and they
| will come from errors made by voters OF
| all parties and Is liable to hurt the Re-
| publican ticket as much as the Demo
| cratic ticket"
