greatest importance. There never was
u time in the history OF the empire
state when organized labor received
higher wages than they do at present,
nor has there been q time when the per

as large as now. This means thousands

farmers, too, from accurate advices re-

for national honor md expansion, and

IN some counties entirely overcome.
There Is absolutely no anti-imperinlln-
tic sentiment in New York state; The.
people positively refuse to accept this
Issue at the hands Of the Democrats,
as they do the alleged Issue of militar-
ism. The great issues seem to me to
be sound money. prosperity. maintcn-
iance OF national honor, the unqualified
support of tho Presidents policies and
the continuance for four years more,of
the carrying OF the full dinner pail. New
York is filled with men who work, OF nll
shades, classes and degrees, and they
all want the best dollar they can get for
their daily wage and the fullest dinner

Foreign Voters Indignant ut Jones.
Twill tell you OF one very significant
fact. The so-called foreign vote Is not
entirely with the Democrats this year.
and thousands OF these voters have
come over to the Republican party
The Republican managers are ccle-
brating by the hundreds Of Thousands
folders in twelve different languages
Chairman Jones' remarks delivered on
January 20, 1897, In which occur these
words: Hundreds OF thousands OF lgno-
rant foreigners, who were taking bread
out OF the mouths OF honest labor, voted
at the last election at the dlctation OF
McKlnley's supporters These foreign
ers comprise fully one halt OF the mum.

Ing population. and they are very sem
sitlve, and resent most krenly these
words Of Chairman Jones, which they
take as q direct insult to themselves. as
they are duly qualified citizens OF the
United States. and arc very angry at
Chairman Jones designation OF them as

Heavy Gold Democratic Vote
"It is estimated at the Republican
headquarters that the endorsement Of
Mckinley by John D. CrimmIns, lead
Ing Catholic. one OF the largest contrac-
tors OF the United States, and one OF the
most popular and widely known men in
the city will carry with 1t atsleast TO-
900 votes for Mckinley south OF the
Bronx. Mr.. CrlmmIns' reasons for sup
porting Mckinley were stated by him
very clearly and In manner which
appealed with peculiar force to the Irish
American and other naturalized voters.
There Is tremendous Gold Demo-
cratic vote In the city and state. While
some OF this vote was inclined during
the earlier stages OF the campaign. to
support Bryan. 1t is believed as election
day approaches and the disastrous re-
suits Of Bryan's election become daily
more apparent that the great majority
of this vote will be given to Mckinley.
AS to the business men who arc Gold
Democrats this is absolutely certain.
Kings County for Mckinley.
Brooklyn. which comprises Kings
county, will be carried by Mckinley by
4 majority OF from 10, 900 to 5000. Some
OF the Republican leaders claim It by
10000. Kings county has been normally
Democratic stronghold by 10000 and
over. but the sentiment this fall In the
city OF churches is very strong for Nc
Kinley. rs there is very heavy and de-
cIsIve independent vote there. Brook
lynitcs arc terribly sore on Croker. AS
Democratic leader who stands very
close to Boss Mclaughlin said to me:
Croker hogs the whole push md gives
US nothing In fact, three OF the con-
gresslonal districts In Kings county
which are ordinarily surely Democratic
are now doubtful. Tho Democratic
campaign In Brooklyn is lifelcss and
listless, and It is conceded to be the quI.
etest campaign ever had on that side OF
the East river. The city Is filled with
Sound Money Democrats, OF which o5
per cent will vote for Mckinley.
Queens county, which Is n part OF
Greater New York. and has normal
Democratic majority OF from 5000 to
5000, will probably so for Mckinley for
the same reasons which obtain In the
