suspended in the same place that the
fatal asbestoes curtain of the Iroquois

hour.
Under otherwise suspicious circum-

Pronounced the safest theater in the

DEMOCRATS CHEER UP.
Eyes to the Front, They Seem to Trust
Parker for Coup.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. 20.-There has
been a marked change in the demo
cratic political sentiment in the CAPT
tai during the last week. Any long
and sober faces that were to be seen
at the congressional headquarters have
Disappeared; grumblings have given
way to rational reasoning, and spirit
of buoyancy pervades the party atmos-
phere in keeping with the more cheer
full news that has reached here Of party
progress thruout the country
is that has brought about the condi-
tion is not yet for the public ear, it
seems, but the local leaders appear to
have learned something definite of some
successful coup that is under contem-
plation at Esopus.
An impression exists outside OF the
inner circle that has in charge the
sentatives that Judge Parker, in his
recent conference with national lead
ers, mapped out a plan of political stra-
tegy destined in due time to result In
perfect whirlwind of democratic en-
thusiasm that will band the party seq
ments close toget her and bring within
the fold the vast contingent of indie
or failure in the campaign.
One source of reinsurance OF demo
cratic leaders is their confidence thai
Judge Parker will take his position al
the forefront of the campaign and sup
plement the speeches of e&-Presiden
Cleveland, W. j. Bryan, ex- Secretar,
Carlisle, Senator German, ex-Secretar1
Olney, General Miles, Judge Gray ant
other campaign orators.
It is firmly believed that Mr.. Cleve
land can swing New Jersey and Con
necticut, if not Massachusetts, into th
democratic column with the aid Of MI
Olney and Mr.. Carlisle 1t is hinte'
that the speech making Of these tire
will be confined to the extreme cas-
and West Virginia, leaving the wor]
in the middle and far western state
! to such stumpers as John Sharpe VIII
liams, Bourke Cochran, Senator Coz
man, Senator Tillman and score O
others. The impression prevails her
that Judge Parker does not expect t
make tour of the country until tn
last two weeks of the campaign.

SHAKY ON THE LAW
Judges of Election Kept City Clerk
Busy Interpreting It. :. =. -

City Clerk L. 4. Lydiard was as busy
as a candidate today, and that ex-
presses the extreme Of human activity.
It was the election judges that kept
Mr.. Lydiard employed, for, altho there
have been no changes in the main fea-
lures Of the election law for several
years and altho every judge is supplied
with a manual containing all the stat
utes bearing on elections, many of the
Judges needed coaching all day. Either
they could not read English or. else
they would not trust their own. intelli-
gence to give correct Interpretation
of the laws.
The point that puzzled the judges
most this morning was the length of
residence within the election district
required of the voters. The qualifca-
lions of the voters are in the very first
paragraph in the book issued by the
city clerk to the judges and yet there
were several inquiries from the polling
places on this point. ..
The voter who did not know in which
precinct he lived nor where his poll

DEMOCRATS OWN
ROOSEVELT'S LEAD
But They Talk of Great Revolu-
ton in Public senti-
merlt.
to The Journal.


Chicago, Sept. 20.--Walter.' Wellmaln
in a New York special to the Record
Herald says:
What is the campaign outlook9 Is
there any chance for the election OF
Judge Parker over President Rooseveltfs
1t is only seven weeks to the day OF
balloting and these. are questions which
public mind shows little or no interest
in the discussion of campaign issues,
because, as matter of fact, there are
none, but it is tremendously interested
in the campaign outcome.
In. this dispatch propose to make a
nation and opinion gathered from both
the republican and democratic managers
here at national headquarters-a sort OF
concensus of belief as to the probablll-
ties at this. time. This necessarily must
be preliminary survey SUBJECT TO
change later on If conditions change.
The democratic managers do not at
tempt to conceal their belief that as
things stand today President Roosevelt
is the victor But they talk continual
" of the revolution Of public sentiment
that is to occur before election day
Whether or not any such change. IS I'M
minent, is OF, course, matter of opinr,
ion. Several weeks ago the democratlee
leaders told me the same thing and
warned me to look out for an awaken
ing that would push their candidate to
! the front. I have been waiting for it
ever since, and am still looking for it
! AS yet it has not come, so far as we
can discover. If it is actually coming
| it is about time it made it's appearance
The time is getting short.
In New York the most expert opinion
| is that the chances are about even. Pub
licly, both sides claim the state, Of
course. They are not expected to dc
anything else. But privately both re
publicans and democrats admit that i
is a very close thing. Each hopes
neither has confidence.
AS to New Jersey, it is admitted tina
the democrats have only a fightins
chance there. It will be one of the sur
prises if they carry the state for Park
er. Practically New Jersey may be re
garded a safe Roosevelt state.
Pretty much the same thing is true o
Connecticut. The republicans fee
quite sure Of the state, and the demo
Gratis entertain only, a hope that "some
thing may happen
for Parker by every man Of good info1
; nation. Delaware is probably TO
, Parker also.
, West Virginia is state the demo
cratic managers have relied upon wit
good deal of confidence. Until re

! we'll based. But information now come

e indicates that West Virginia is SAT
