90 not DelleN6 that we VIII lose 3, Single
southern state, although of course there
is q possibility Of Kentucky going Re-
publican, particularly if Watterson
should be the nominee of the gold
Democrats. Aside from that possibil-
ity I do not think that the Indianapolis
convention need give US any concern.
Upon the whole, believe that the
chances are decidedly in Bryan's favor
today.
II received the most direct and posi-
tive information today that in the city
Of Aurora, which contains about $4,000
people, probably 1000 or 5000 votes,
there is a Bryan club which contains
between 500 and 600 Republicans. In the
clubs which have been formed in Chi
cage, some seventy-five or eighty in
number, q goodly percentage, fully one
third, according to my information. of
their members are Republicans. [ can
learn Of no serious detection in the
Democratic ranks that is genuine. OF
course the corporations and big bust
ness establishments are going to do
everything they can to influence their
voters. What success they will have
remains to be seen.
''At national headquarters everybody
feels confident But we have lots of
work to do, and there is none more i'm
portant than what this Office is doing at
the present time.
Colonel Nicholas NJ. Bell of SIT, Louis,
one OF the best known men among
national Democrats, passed through the
city yesterday en- route to California
to assist in the campaign there He
arrived in the morning and held a
conference with Judge Powers and con-
tinued on his journey at noon. Colonel
Bell is possessed of a marvellous voice
and has been reading clerk of every
national convention for years until the
Chicago convention. He will remain i'll
California, but a short time and will
return to Utah in time to address the
Democratic state convention at Provo
on the 24th.
The Democratic conference commit
tee appointed by Chairman Powers of
the state committee, met last evening
at the Knutsford to organize. There
were present Hon. j. L. Rawlins, John
Tyler, Hon. c. G. Richards, Mrs. Electa
Bullock, Judge H. P. Henderson, Mrs.
Matte Hughes Cannon and j. r. Let
cher. Organization was effected by
electing MIR. Rawlins chairman and Mr.
Letcher secretary. After discussing the
situation generally the meeting adj
jouIned subject to call of the chair
man at any time that any other like
committee that may be appointed may
desire conference.
Chairman Powers, of the Democratic
state committee, decided yesterday TO
abandon the idea of establishing head
quarters at either of the places that
had formerly been secured and selected
the store room at 266 State street, i'm
the Arcade building All the properties

in and the place will be put in ship
shape at once. 1t is an admirable Ioca-
tion and the rooms when fitted up will
make excellent headquarters.
The Argus appeared yesterday as a
straight Republican organ, advocating
the election of Mckinley. Its argument
for the cause it has espoused is, per-
haps, as ingenious and strong as could
possibly be presented and even then
is so lamentably weak as to excite no
other feeling than pity. The courteous
manner in which the argument and ap-
peal for harmony are expressed are the
only commendable features about it.
The county Democratic committee
yesterday secured headquarters located
ON the ground floor under Ford's. on
State street. The location is a splen-
did one and Chairman Lloyd will have
a force at work fitting up the head
quarters tomorrow.

BY order of the Democratic judicial
committee OF the Third Judicial dis
trict
Dated Sept 1, 1896
To the Editor of The Herald:
The sentiment Of the country has
undergone a vast change since the
Chicago conventions What existed be-
fore only az a purpose by Democrats
to wage war for the preservation of a
principle, needless of the hazards OF
defeat now gives place to the conf
dence of victory. Bryan will be elect
ed. He can be elected by carrying any
of the states west of the Alleghanies
and east Of the Missouri. He does not
need New York; Mckinley must carry
New York. There is just as much
reason to give New York to Bryan
as to claim it for Mckinley. The re-
suit i'm New York promises to be the
biggest surprise of the ides of Novem-
Der
Democrats in the west who know lit
tie and care less for New York politics.
have ever shown a. contempt for Tam
many, and charge UP every Democratic
defeat to Tanmany resentment or
reprtsal. To a large extent TINS is
true, the most notable instance being
the defeat of the Cleveland electors in
New York in 1888, and the election of
Senator Hill as governor. Tanlmany
is for Tammany every time. Hill was
a. TanEnany Democrat: Cleveland an
tagonized Tammany. In contest of
that kind there is only one method OF
warfare for a, political society like
Tammany; and thus 1t was in 1883 tho
Senator Hill became governor and
President Cleveland a, private citizen.
Although every political element may
unite against Tamnany and defeat it
one year, next year 1t comes I'D srniI-
