Washington, October Ex-senator Hill,
who Is here representing the state OF
New York before the sun emo SQUIRT, ~
very hopeful over the outlook for dem
ocratic success In New York, "1he re-
publican State leaders," he RNl1 today,
have presented the extraordinary spec
taclS OF repudiating the local platform In
New York city which mad been con-
structed for tho legislative candidates.
The situation illustrates tho hypocracy
and the absur1ity OF the republican posi-
ton upon the excise question. They arc
attempting TO deceive voters by different
arguments In different places and can not
succeed
Warner Miller is sincere In what he
says. but he is radical pdrltan, and his
speech IN favor OF tlue laws VIII drive
Thousands OF liboral-mluded republicans
into the democrats ranks All that Ia
required TO bring about democratic sue
tess now In harmony In the party aud
there seems 10 be little question that an
Understanding will be reached before cleo
ton. There IL absolute unnulmlty in
favor of the State ticket everywhere. 1t
will receive the vote Of every democrat
in the State and thousands OF republican
votes. The only difficulty in the way to
complete sucoeas Is caused by local diff
forences over the legislative candidates.
There should be concessions from each
CT the factions. and II this can DO hrouk hit
about the SUCCESS OF both the State and
the legislative ticket win he assured.
The republicans are more widely divided
than are the democrats, and this circum-
stance alone indicates a democratic VIC
tory.

velasco. Texas. october 23.--The dredge-
boat began her work OF removing the
remnant OF tue Brazas bar today. The
distance between the twenty-foot line in
side OF the bar to the twenty feet out
side Is but few hundred feet, and It is
believed that channel OF twenty feet
can be made through the bar within fif-
teen working days. Work on the jettles
IL being vigorously pushed, aud It Is hoped
that they will Ibe IN condition TO maintain
the twenty-foot channel when obtained by
the dredgeboat. Permanent deep water
al the mouth OF the Brazos IL only a
question of completed jetties. This has
been conceded by all engineers who have
ever looked into or examined the plans
as outlined here.
