Both Parties Now Ready For
 a Big Fight
MT. Bryan's Present Tour of the En- pire State Regarded as Mistake Productive Only of Votes For Mckinley.

 is to be the battle-ground of the na- tional campaign, but that the state will go republican seems generally accepted as a foregone conclusion. Both camps are waking up for the big struggle of the next two weeks. Chairman Odell of the republican state committee and his assistants have completed arrange ments for two weeks of the greatest campaigning in the history of politics. Governor Roosevelt and Senator D. pew are to be the chief orators of the final demonstration of the campaign, but many other prominent men will take part. and it is expected that eX- President Harrison will make one or more speeches in the state after MT. Bryan has completed his tour
 Beginning on October P, Governor Roosevelt is to go through the state on one special train and Senator Depew will swing around the other side of the state on a special train at the same time. All the large cities and towns are to hold monster mass meetings, and fully 200 orators will be at work every night. Ex-Governor Black is to make a number of speeches in the chief cities. Representatives Payne and Sherman and Lieutenant Governor Woodruff are to be at work at the same time and the speakers from other states who are to help out in the grand rally include Senators Lodge of Massa- chusetts and FOraker of Ohio, and Rep resentative Dalzell of Pennsylvania. Every nook and corner of the state is to be canvassed and the voters aroused by big meetings and plenty of good speaking.
 DEMOCRATS LOSING HOPE.
 While the republicans are leaving no stone unturned to complete their cam paign, the recent statement of Frank Campbell, chairman of the democratic state committee, would seem to indi- cate that extraordinary effort is un- necessary. This statement of Camp bell is regarded as a practical acknOwl- edgnent that the democratic national and state tickets are not likely to carry in New York, and seems to be also an effort to throw the responsibility for disastrous results on Richard Croksr When questioned about the outlook Mr Campbell said:
 We will carry New York, I think. if the democrats of New York city pile up a majority of S0,0OO for Bryan. Every thing up the state is all right. We will make gains there. From all the interior counties come reports that gold demo- crats and republicans are going to vote for Bryan and Stanchfield. but we may need about S0,000 majority in Greater New York Don't you think we can get it?"
 MT. Campbell asked the question with a childlike smile. When his attention was called to the fact that in 1896 what is now Greater New York gave Me Kinley a majority of more than 5O,O1O he seemed mildly surprised and showed no disposition to pursue the subject further. He made it plain, however. that it was up to- Croker to produce the SO,0OO majority in this city, and that if it were not produced the chief of Tammany Hall would be held respon- sible for the defeat of the democratic national and state tickets.
 MT. Croker. it is asserted, does not expect a majority of more than 40,OOO for Bryan in this city, and some of his shrewdest lieutenants do not count on more than 30,000 or 35.000, so the call for S0000 majority below The Bronx is not likely to be met. When Croker was in formed about the statement of the chairman of the state committee he was not pleased.
 T have nothing to say" he growled. 'It is too early to make a canvass or give figures. Anybody who wants to do figuring can do so. I won't"
 CROKER ON FIGURES.
 Croller was asked what he thought of poll made by a morning paper. showing 2S5 electoral votes for Me Kinley.
 Its wrong-all wrong." he ans wered. T won't discuss details. but I know it is all wrong. Bryan will be elected"
 It is learned tonight that Tammany has hired every available vacant hall from the Battery to Harlem for every evening from now to election day. Hundreds of speakers are being drilled and prepared for these meetings. Great quantities of fireworks and red fire have been contracted for. Two hundred huge searchights and stereopticOns have been obtained. Every big build ing up town will be swept by search lights and plastered with Tammany mottoes by stereopticons. Five hund- l red young orators will be turned loose to speak from platforms, cart tails and ! stands on street corners. District lead 1 CTS hyill be warned that they must not show the slightest sign of cessation. No | brass bands will be paid for by the | main organization, except at the big meetings. If there are brass bands at district meetings the district leaders | must pay for them out of their own ! pockets. Fireworks are also for the big meetings alone. There will be no torch ' light parades fostered by the main or ganization, but doubtless there will be | many district leaders who will arrange | for parades of their own.
 While all will be hustle, hurrah and | red fire in the city. it is quietly reported that the Bryanite campaigners are at loggerheads again over the arrange | ments for MT. Bryan's tour of the state. The dates for this state junket were i
