Press, the OILY straighto,it Republican;

some facts s0d fignres calculated to-
show that the Republicans cann0. fx-8
pect 70 carry thu Empire state this year
without the hardest kind of work BY all
the party members. and only with the
best candid dates. The Press makes this
showing IL q protest against the over
confidence manifested in some quarters.
II does not do It for She purpose off
throwing the party into I panic, but for
the purpose Of impressing upon
Republican VOTERS the gravity Of she
situation and to arouse them to the re-
fquisissI 6sKssssf snort TO 00vitesfl,come The
difficulties inStheir path 10 victory.
One Of the polnts made BY ON New
York contemporary is this: That the
Democrats have made alarming gains In
the congressional districts since 1894.
10 that year the Republicans carried
the following districts: The First,
Second, Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth,
Eighth. Tenth, Thirteenth. Fourteenth.
Fifteenth and Sixteenth carried them
again In 1s96, but Ia 1893 lost every one
lot them. TIE Presaadds:
1.-TWO things Of striking significance
areto be observed about this extraordinS
ary reversal of votes. The first is that
while 1888 WAS not q apresidential year.
neither was 1891. when We did carry all
those districts. The other is that In
1888 the Republican party had what
naturally ought to have been OF great
assistance to the strong anti Bryan
sentiment which had been aroused In
the Gold Democrats BY the campaign Of
1885, and which had given testimony as
to Its power In the plurality for Me-
Ktnley OF 1862 O00 in that year. In 1894
there was no money question before the
voters. Yet without any aid Of Gold
Democrats The districts we have named

while New York, in 1888, was suffering
these fearful losses In congress districts,
the West. In the very same campaign.
was making Republican gains. II It
had not done so, II the rest Of the
country had rencted rs New York had
reacted, the Republican party would;
have lost the house OF representatives.
Our Democrat brethern have noted this
stendancy toward reactionin New York,
and upon 1t they are bastnR their pre-
dictions that they will carry that state
And this hope Is what Is leading the
hsfstofcre warrin0 Democratic factions
In the state to adjust their differences
and make preparations to pull together.
Ex-senator Hill and Richard Croker,
the representatives oftwo formerly ire
concilable factions; are both sent as del
egates 10 the Kansas City convention,
and II is said that Croker will support
HILLS nomination to the vice presidency
it that shall be deemed advisable.
1t looks as IL New York would te the
pivotal state In this election, as it has
been In so ma1y others. The presiden-
tial ticket that secures the electoral vote
OF New York will very probably be elect
ed. In this aspect Of the case 1t will be
well for the New York Republican leader
to look well to their fences, and to get
together and settle up factional quarrels
that may exist.
