the h!st New York man Mr.. Bryan has had
81 chance 10 talk with since David L. rlill
was here and received warm welcome.
They were closeted for over an hour. and
NJ. Bryan Was Visibly elated over the good

He said:
The administration in granting special

prove q disappointment to his supporters,
Tor he Il not nearly so strong in his own
state as they imagine. Had he been renoul-
mated for Governor this fal! he would
surely have been defeated The business
interests OF the State recognize in him an
eccentric and unsafe individual and one
on whom little dependence can be placed
The Republicans will doubtless nominal e
X. ID. Odeli OF Newbrrgh for Governor
He is Tom Platts understudy. and purely a
machine man. Outside OF the few who will
place him in nomination, he is scarcely
known ut the present time and HIS asso-
citation with the ring means his certain de-
feat
IL IL difficult to say who the Democratic
nominee for Governor will be Several good
men are being suggested. but 1 believe the
chances are slightly IN favor OF Senator
Mackey OF Buffalo. He has an enviable rec
ORD as q member Of the State Legislature
and his geographical location In the State
is in his favor. The general opinion seems

mated. f. NJ Sheppard of BROOKLYN Il also
prominently mentioned, bu, II is quite ike

That year he Is supposed to have been only
passively Democrat, not actively. Elliot
Danforth Is being urged by his friends, but

Harmony Assures Victory.
New York State is normally Democratic
by many thousands, but the party has been
so divided for the last few years that vic
tory was impossible. As result the Repub-
leans VIII suffer this fa!! from oyerconfi-
Gence, while the Democrats will be IN the
field with all interests united and working
in harmony with a determination OF win
ming. Hill and Croker viii stand shoulder 10
shoulder this fall and fight without fear OF
friction FOR the success Of the party both
locally and nationally, and there can be but
one result-victory. New York is the pivotal
State. and no one knows this better than
the two State leaders. Mr. Hill will be
found on the stump early III the campaign.
1t Is my opinion that his first speech will be
made at Albany, as no ratification meeting
has yet been held there. After that time he
will probably be at the service OF the Ma
tional Committee There Is no question as
to the loyal support Of both Hill and Croker
Tor Mr.. Bryan and the Kansas City plat
form. and with New York In the Democratic
column Mr.. Bryan's election is assured"
