Democrats of Illinois. indiana Wisconsin and Ohio to Be ar
nOnized-Ihe Olive Branch Held Quito
W. j. Bryan.

Esopus, N Y, July 1.-THE policy
Democratic harmony goes on 1t is
lntimated that Mr. Sheehan, on behalf
Of Judge Parker will bend his immed
iatc energies to bring about harmon
ious action in New York, New Jersey
Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio
With the exception of Nebra; ka where
every encouragement will be given To
Mr.. Bryan in his desire to elect a
Dent cratic legislature and elector
Al ticket, little attention will be given
in the early stages oil the campaign
to the states west of the Mississippi
Delaware, Maryland and West Vir
ginia are relied ON to return 10 the
Democratic moorings, making. with
the other southern states 100 assured
electoral votes. The electoral college
thi. year consists of 476 members, OF
whom 239 are a majority. Starting
with lG9 votes assured, there are 70
to be gained.
Mr., Cleveland carried in addition,
the states of New YORK, SO votes nov !:
Wisconsin, 10; Illinois. q Indiana
10; New Jersey, IL; and almost car
ried Ohio %. There Is the additional
probability OF carrying Colorado, 3
votes, Idaho, 3; and Nevada 8 To be
elected Judge Parker viii require
New York. Illinois. and Colorado, or
New York, New Jersey, Indiana and
Colorado: or New York. Wisconsin
New Jersey. Nevada and Colorado.
New York Is essential to Judge Par
ker With New York there are sev
erai reasonable and porsiblc combina
tions, any one OF which wcalI elect
him. This is on the assumption that
every New England state will go Re
publican while both Connecticut am
Rhode Island are COED ground, Rhods
Island has Democratic governor
and Connecticut is fair field.
The fight will be made in the mid
due western states. The first ster

Mr. Rooseyelts Turbulence will give
greater majority to Judge Parke
than Mr.. Cleveland in 1892.
Mr.. Sheehan says that Judge Par
ker will win, and he believes It,
The New York situation Is yer.
satisfactory. The stories that Nj
