New York, Nov. 2.-In view OF the
reports yesterday regarding the attitude
OF the Strauss family, interest was ex-
cited this evening by letter sent to ex-
Mayor Grant by Isadore Strauss in re-
gard to the attitude of his brother,
Nathan Strauss. on Mr.. Grants candi-
dacJ, in which Nathan Strauss is quoted
as expressing deep interest in the suc-
cess of the present Tammany candidate
for mayor.
Another letter which may have con-
siderable effect upon the Hebrew vote is
from a prominent Hebrew, defending
Colonel Strong from the charge that he
aided in the exclusion OF mem ber OF
the Selgman family from the Union
League club.
A letter from Col. Asa Bird Gardiner.
attacking Colonel Strong for his course
as e member OF a committee OF the New
York Insurance company, and the
charges and countercharges respecting
the use OF Mr.. Morton's name as an
officer OF the Excise Reform association,
was among the other topics OF converse.
tion among politicians.
At the state Democracy headquarters
it was announced that "a mem bers OF
the Tammany organization in the
Twenty-ssventh assembly district had
resigned from that body and joined the
state Democracy.
Betting on etate and city elections
continues to favor Morton and Strong.
On the stock exchange $4,000 to $500
was wagered today that Strong would
be elected Mayor, and as much more
was offered without finding takers. One
bet OF $1,000 to $400 was made on Nor.

HARRISON AT ALBANY.
ALBANY. N. l., Nov. 1.-Five thou
sand people joatled and pushed and de-
fed the police in such manner in the
! Union station, this afternoon, that all
control of them was lost, and the Off
GERS were obliged to simply stand by
and aid women who had unluckily got
| ten into the crush, or clear the tracks
when train approached. Even the ap-
proach of an engine did not seem to
make the vast assem- mblage move. and
when the train bearing ex'Presi-
dent Harrison rolled into the depot at
4 80 the engineer had to stop several
times in order to avoid running the
crowd down.
Such scene has never been witnessed
in Albany before. Not only were the
platform and yards crowded with peo.
pie, but the roofs OF the sheds were
black with people. and when the train
stopped, men and boys climbed on top
Of the roofs OF the car.
Ex-President Harrison was applauded
and cheered when he stepped out upon
the platform, and it was some minutes
before he could speak. His words were
ouly heard by the people within radius
of so feet. the vast crowd outside that
circle being disappointed. He touched
briefly upon local issues, and then eulo-
gized ex.Vice President Morton. He
then referred to the ha.d times and said ::
1.-The Democrats have proved them
eelves not good managers OF the peoples
| affairs, and are afraid to face the people.
but the people are fixing that up all
right. they are turning their backs to
the Democratic party.
"The Democratic party Is not expert
enced enough to manage the nations
affairs. They were out Of control from
1861, and when they we're called upon
to control il was ss if Christopher CO.
| lumbus had been called to command a
transatlantic steamer. While the Dem.
ocratic national administration has been
putting itself in control, the people have
been perishing with the hard times"
In conclusion Mr.. Harrison said: II
leave this message: Every man. COM
mitteeman or citizen should do some.
thing to make the result so emphatic
that these tinkerings of tl,s Democrats
would be stopped once and forever"
Great cheers greeted the conclusion OF
the speech, and after bowing to the
| crowd General Harrison returned to his
car. The train pulled out at 4:45.

ous times have begun. | have visited
nearly all the manufacturing towns oi
the state and the testimony is universal
i that nearly all the industries have re.
sumed operations and many of them are
being worked night and day. Igreatly

mercial travellers who are journeying
every here and who are the beat judges
to be- found. not only OF the public senti-
ment but of the actual condition of af.
fairs, and they all report thst business
is steadily improving; that few working.
men are idle, that the manufacturer
