It is more than probable the Democrats
who control the state machinery. are GO

it seems equally apparent from the Popu-

fraud. Fusion with the Republicans in

for Bryan.
I.atcr-Returns are not sufficient to
base the result. but indications are that
the state has gone for Johnson, the free
silver Democrat, and the Legislature
is safe for the Democratic majority.

CAMPAIGN WORK BEGUN.
Mark Hanna and Other Members Of National
Committee on Hand.

New York Aug 3.-The campaign
work was begun at the Republican
national headquarters, today. Mark
Hanna was on hand early and was soon
Joined by n r. Scott of West Virginia
and Powell Clayton of Arkansas, mem
bors of the executive committee By
the end of the week the committee will
be ready to send out campaign litera-
turc Mr.. Hanna did not care to be
interviewed in regard to the conference
with Thomas C. Plat, Charles w.
Hacllett and Edward Lauterbach, Sat
urday He would only say that he had
nothing TO do with fractional fights,
and expects all Republicans in this state
to do their share of the work. He says
he will accept advice and help from
both factions.
At the Republican state headquarters
Chairman Hackett and all other poll
tiCians laughed at the story started,
yesterday, that Mr.. Plat is a candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination. The
reports received, this afternoon. by
Chairman Hackett from state and
county leaders showed that about one
per cent of the Republican voters lean
towards free silver and the Byran
ticket.
About six per cent of the Democrtic
voters are for Mckinley. The Republi-
can county committee will probably
hold n big ratification meeting at Car
negie hall next week. Some of the best
speakers in the party, among them
Thomas Il. Reed. will address the meet
ing. At st. John. the Democratic and
silver headquarters it was said. today,
that no important campaign work
WOuld be done until August II. when
the Democratic national committee
will met IN this city and prepare the
work of the campaign.
