are now opposing him, although not uTg-

4 Surprise for Republicans in New
York state

SARATOGA, Aug. 15.-Republicans who
are expecting a walk-oyer in this State
like that of 1896 could gain some useful
information at Saratoga today They would
discover that, while the Democratic lead
ers here have differences of opinion con-
cernirg the makeup OF their State tieI-
ct, and indulge in chickering's in hotel ioE
by conversation, they really believe that
they have an excellent fighting chance to
elect Governor and carry the State for
Bryan This confidence is not expressed il
g blatant way. and no claims" are made,
but il IS based on the reports which local
leaders are bringing in from all parts OF
the State, and is shared by veteran poll
ticians who seldom make mistakes in as
ceTtaining public sentiment.
According to all reports received here 81
far, the Is to l declaration in the Demo-
cratic national platform has not had any
thing like the effect that it had IN 1896
County leaders say that while Democratic
business men generally are no f0nder of
Bryan and his financial doctrines than they
were IN 1856, thy are satisfied that there
can be no change in currency law in the
next four years, and have been drawn back
10 the party By the issues OF anti-imperial-
ism and no trusts. and by their feeling
against MeKinIeyism. These reports are
not of the campaign kind. designed for
publication 3nly. They are the result of
observation in the various counties. and
are not accompanied by the boasts which
usually indicate -blufiBg in politics. IN
fact, the Democratic leaders are inclined
to encourage the oyerconfdence against
