N. Y. Republicans
 On Defensive
REPUBLICANS RECOGNIZE THEIR WEAKNESS ON STATE TICK
 ET AND RELY ON TEDDY.
Newspaper Expressions Indicate That Democrats Are Standing Good Chance to Win State for Parker Beth Sides Using Wise Tactics.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2i--The repub- licans are clearly on the defensive in New York. While the republican management takes to it's soul, the flat tering unction that this has refer ence principally to the fight over the state tickets. they are not unmindful of the fact that a strong vote for the democratic state ticke is very likely to carry similar vote to the national ticket The democratic managers realize this, and they are taking ad- vantage of the trend by confining the campaigning to the state ticket and whooping it up for Herrick and liar rison. attacking Odell and Odellism, and saying as little about national is sues as possible. On the other hand, the republicans have sent word down the line to pay little attention as pos sible to the state ticket and state is sues. and talk only about national is- sues. The republican managers are convinced that Mir. Roosevelt is far stronger in New York than the re- publican state ticket. and they figure on his vote being sufficiently large to pull Higgins through.
 Both sides are pursuing wise tac- tics If the newspapers furnish indi- cation of the way things are looking. the outlook for the democratic state ticket is bright. The attacks upon Odellism. for which Higgins must stand. seem to be going home to the masses of voters, and the democrats are eminently wise in taking advant- age of this apparent advantage. On the other hand. the republicans are wise in shying the issue thus raised and confning themselves to national questions.
 In this connection the story of a suppressed editorial is interesting. This editorial appeared in MT. Hearsts afternoon Journal. IL was a strong defense of Odel. and charged that the people who are now most prominent in fighting him are those who tried to get steals" of different kinds through at Albany. but were turned down by Oden. It was the strongest kind of a campaign docu- ment for Odell, and. inferntialiy, of course. for the state ticket he named. That editorial appeared in some of the editions of the Journal-it was in the edition that came south-but as soon as the democratic managers called the attention of Mir. Hearst to it, he had it suppressed. Of course the republican newspapers got hold of it. however, and they are making the most of it.
 Another editorial appearing in the Hearst papers which is likely to be used in the same way by the enemy is that in Saturdays Journal jump
 ing with both feet upon Richard Ol- ney and declaring that if the demo- cratic managers are wise they will call
 off MT. OIney and will not permit any
 uterances from Mir. Cleveland to es-
 cape during the remaining days oi
 the campaign. In his New York l speech Mir Olney. reviewing the for
 eign policy of the republican admin
 istration during the past eight years referred to a needless war witt lSpain." The American takes this up and n characteristic fashion show
 that the whole American people were behind that war with Spain, whicf
 was inspired by higher motives thar were back of any other war of mod
 ern times. And Mir. Olney is scored
 right mad left with great vigor.
 4 All of which tends to show tha She campaign is getting hot, if i shows nothing else.
