; correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
: VINO has been making a study of the I'd
State situation in New York, says:
! AS is known by the politicians and the
people generally the country over if s the
: upstate vote which has saved New Yorf
times innumerable to the Rennblicar
party. And. again, the ~sup-State' ~ote
contrary to their expectations, has occa-
sionaIly given them a surprise and failed
20 roll up majorities sufficient to overcome
the two great cities at the lower end
whether the coming election will be one
OF THESE instances is the problem which is
asltating the managers of both parties at
this end, no less than at the other. It is
scarcely necessary to say the Democrats
IN this vicinity are following the practice
universally prevalent and not only laugh
at the Republican claims, but set I'D coun-
ter-claims of proportions equally pleasant.
Erie county may probably be regarded
as a sample of upstate and the result
mere whatever it may be. reflex OF The
general result. There has also been IN
this section OF the State an enormous in
crease in the registration, and the Repub-
hcans as matter of course eonstrue this
as an indication greatly in their favor.
mere IS no sound reason why they should
do this here any more than in New York
city, Chicago. or any other of the big cit
les anywhere. 1t is very easy always to
torn an opinion and argue why ii should
be correct, but in nothing more than in
politics has experience shown that argu-
uents. TO have thing appear as you may
wish it. are often delusive The Demo-
Gratis in this region hold strenuously that
| the increased registration will inure 10
| their advantage, and to say the least their
arguments are quite as plausible as those
| OF the other side
1T seems to me the silent vote Will play
| a most important part in this section of
New York State. The fact that nearly ev-
cry man who has d vote has put his name
on the registration list indicates an intea-
ton to yote-but how? That is the ques-
| ton. Politicians on both sides admit that
/ while their respective meetings have been
| well attended and more or less enthusiast
| tic there is Infinitely less individual ex-
| preston Of opinion than heretofore; in 9TH
er words. that III their homes and their
general intercourse the people are inclin-
ed TO talk OF most everything else but poll

"Bryan's meetings here were enormous
and oubbling over with appreciation at al
most all he said. The attendance and the
enthusiasm at the Bryan meetings was un-
precedented. The Republicans say the
people came only from curiosity, and were
only momentaTily carried away by the ex-
citement Of the occasion. The Democrats
say Bryan's words fell on good soil and will |
show abundant reaping on election day. It |
seems evident enough that Bryan really |
did leave most favorable impression.
1T IS very certain Mr.. BTyan's talks are |
better spoken Of than the diatribes of /
Roosevelt. although this Is the lattar's own |
State I have heard many Republicans |
u lie
Go 1t without iDjuring Mckinley it would |
afford them much delight to scratch Roose-
welt. They say Bryan may appeal 20 the |
prejUdices the people. but that is not |
nearly so bad as denouncing and deriding in
coarse language all those who do cot hap
pen TO agree with him.
Roosevelt may have gained q few con-
Yerts among the cowboys in the Far West
hut you won't hear anyone here in his |
own State who does not say that his cam
p2igning here is not worth pinch Of snuff |
He is played out in New York, and wheth-
err elected or defeated he can get no more |
honoTs among his own people. If there !
was no national election on, and Mr.. Roose-
Welt was running for Reelection as Cover
nor. Stanehfeld, the Democratic candidate |
would beat him out of his boots. In pri-
vate no Republican undertakes 10 deny
this. II
Imperialism is to the front in western
New York and the people are pondering
very deeply over it, especially the great
body OF citizens of foreign birth and de-
scent. IN buffalo alone there are from
l2.C0G to $1,000 Polish voters and il the
Pole does not know what Imperialism is
who does? There are more German voters .
than this, and they know something about
It. Nest all of these in Buffalo had been |
