PLATTsBURG- LEGISLATURE
SURELY REPUBLICAN.
Albany. Oct 10 (speciaD-eover,or o5srsi
made the following statement Yesterday in re-
gard to the political campaign in this State e
believe that the prospects for Republican sue.
cess this fall are very bright and that with
haro and earnest work a Republican victory is
assured Ii seems 70 be the policy of tha
Democratic managers to conduct their campaigns
on the basis of a still hunt. and this of itself
should be a warning TO the Republican workers
throughout the State to be unusually active be-.
cause the greatest enemy We have TO fear is
overconfdence- The Republican organization
is In such splendid shape that If every effort is
made that it is capable of 1 have no doubt thae
the result will be of the maiorities for which
we have been noted in the last eight or ten
years. In every school district from now those
who are the managers in each particular dis
trict should 20 it that Republicans are made
fully aware Of these conditions and an extr.
effort made to get out the complete VOTE This
Judgment was arrived at after the Governor un-
doubtedly had learned the drift of political opin-
ion there. and then had come here and had had
chats with up State Republicans well acquaint-
ed with political sentiment in their home neigh
borhoods- But beyond that the Governor while
vious. had learned the views held on political
matters by voters in various parts of the State.
Nevertheless, the Governor does not intend To
relax his efforts to secure a victory for the Re-
publican party at the polls in November. and
consequently will start out from this city
Wednesday already stated in The Tribune.
to make brief tour Of the State. in the course
OF which ne win address voters in several places
on the political topics of the hour. His first
speech will be at Syracuse. in the centre of the
State. Syracuse is in Onondaga County. and
! the Republican party is said 70 be in a highly
prosperous condition in that county. But it
will do no harm TO make Republican speech
in a county which threatens to deprive st. Law
renee County of it's proud position of being the
banner Republican county of the State The
following day. October 23. the Governor viii ad-
dress the voters of Auburn. Cayuga County. in
the afternoon. Congressman Serene E Payne
lives at Auburn. and possibly Will also make a
speech upon the occasion of the Governors visit
In the evening of the same day the GOvernOr
will address the voters of Rochester. MOnrOa
County. Rochester is the home of Judge Will
lam E Werner. Republican candidate for Judge
of the Court of Appeals. and he is highly re-
garded in that city II be predicted that
Monroe County will give a large Republican
plurality for Judge Werner The Governor will
have busy day October "A. delivering
speeches at LoCkport and Niagara Falls in the
afternoon. and at Buffalo in the evening. Tha
following day he will make addresses at Dun-
kirk and at jamestown. Then on Tuesday. Ocs
tober 2S. he will make an address at Bingham>
ton. in Broome County He will address mass
meeting in New-York City on October 80.
The Governor will be accompanied his tour
by Senator Depew. Job E. Hedges and Linn
Bruce. who will speak at the big mass meetings
which the Governor will address. In additions
Controller Miller will address the Buffalo meets
ing. 1t is naturally expected that thsse mass
meetings in the central and western part of the
State and then in the southern tier of counties
will stir UP many Republicans to action for theis
party who might otherwise be apathetic.
NO UPSTATE COLER ENTHUSIASM
Ex-senator David B. Hill apparently has thus
far not created the slightest enthusiasts sup-
port north of the Harlem River for his candi-
date for Governor. Bird S. Coler. Two years ag1
Mr.. Coler had a hearty support from rural Deul>
ocrats as a candidate for the Democratic nom-
ination for Governor. but that support was
withdrawn this year. and the nomination ot
Chief Judge Parker of the Court Of Appeals
was favored Mr. CoIer's nomination there-
FORE in the nature of disappointment.
Moreover. il is plain that the rural Democrats
have been impressed as taxpayers by Governors
