of the Democratic National committee
spent Sunday in Washington, having left
Chicago one week ago for a trip East by
way of New York. He will start on the
return journey by the same route this
evening, tarrying again for few days
at the Eastern headquarters. He saw
some officials Of the Democratic Congress
sional committee here yesterday, and
will have further opportunity to survey
the Washington end of the political sit
uation during the next twelve hours.
A hopeful word all along the line is
reported by the Senator, and if he has
any fear and trembling for the great cleo
ton day in November he does not dis
close it in his conversation nor in his
bearing. 1.-THE Democrats all over the
country" said he, "are working harmon
iously, and the outlook is good. There
are no fractional fights over the electoral
ticket. Even in Montana, where there
is a division in the Democratic forces
over State matters-and l could not tell
whether one faction or the other will
win-I appealed to the leaders some time
ago not to allow Mr.. Bryans interests
to suffer. The Democratic leaders in
Montana on both sides assured me that
whatever the local situation might be
there would be no division among them
in national matters"
BIG MAJORITY IN NEW YORK CITY.
1.-THE situation in New York is work
ing out satisfactorily" the Senator was
asked.
Yes" he answered. 81 think we shall
carry the State. Mr.. Croker has said that
the Democrats would have a majority OF
100 900 in New York city. / have heard
him make that statement recently. He
has wagered 100000 that Mr.. Bryan will
be elected
IF the Democrats have majority OF
100 900 in New York city, the Republi-
cans can never overcome it from up the
State,' remarked Mr.. German, former
Secretary of the United States Senate.
who owns with Mr.. Jones at the time.
Some of the gambling fraternity have
suggested that Mr.. Croker may plan
later, when the odds in Presidential bet
ting have gone down, to quietly lay a
large sum on Mr.. McKinley's election, in
which event he would stand to win good
money, whatever the issue, - was OBJ

But Mr.. Croker isn't that kind of a
man." he replied.
OF the prospects in the Western States
Senator Jones speaks in confident tone.
He says he is pleased with developments
in Indiana, while in Illinois the Demo
Gratis are working earnestly and aggres-
sively When reports, in some of the
orsfic pnnnhlinon that
Cook county Democrats were laggard in
taking hold of the Bryan campaign were
mentioned to him, he responded;
The Cook county Democrats hired
trains to go to Indianapolis, and also tc
attend big Democratic picinc at Mil
waulkee. They have manifested their in
terest in the campaign in other emphatic
ways, all of which appear to me not like
lethargy but like enthusiasm"
LABOR DAY DEMONSTRATIONS.
Here the conversation drifted to the
demonstration in Chicago on Labor Day
in favor of the different candidates, and
Senator Jones detailed some of the Incl
dents that were told him by truthful eye
witnesses. cat one place certainly along
the route" said the Senator, ''shouters
were stationed for Governor Roosevelt
When he came along they cried out:
Three cheers for Teddy and What's the
matter with Governor Roosevelt? There
was almost no response from the crowds
During the speaking Judge Yates, the
Republican candidate for governor, and
Mr.. Alschuler our candidate for governor
in Illinois, were both cordially received
as was Mr. Bryan. But it was entirely
one in the audience shouted Stop in the
midst of his speech, and many others
Joined in: oh, won't you ever get
through The audience was impatient
with him, as some thought, to the point
of rudeness.
"And yet the next morning" added the
Senator, when l bought both the Re-
publican and Democratic papers, as l al
ways do, / found that Governor ROose-
welt, as we'll as Mr.. Bryan, was credited
with receiving great applause from the
audience of laboring men" Senator Jones
spoke as though he doubted any benefit
to the Republicans from Governor Roose-

1.-The Democrats have nominated very

the united support of the party. The

their leaders are not in accord with the

candidates of his party, and l have heard
that he will vote with the Democrats, but

"You expect the State ticket to pull
