Graves to Speak.
Mr.. John Temple Graves, editor OF the
Atlanta News. called at Democratic ma
tioual headquarters yesterday. Ills visit
10 Newly ork has convinced him that the
electoral vote Of the State will be given
to Judge Parker. In his opinion, Illinois
as well as Indiana is to be worlsbX the
Democracy, and he will speak in both OF
these States before his return to Georgia.
Improving by Jumps.
'.The Democratic chances are improv-
ling by jumps, was the way in which
John Sharp Williams expressed himself
to-day on his return to Headquarters af-
ter his return from a eral8inspection
of the Middle West. Il thought before .
left New York n week ago, that the drift
was toward Judge Parker but 4 did not
realize the strength OF the current we are
going to win'
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Will
lalns believes the next President OF the
United States will be a Democrat. There
are few f any, at national headquarters
whose Judgment Is entitled TO greater re-
spcct for beneath that jolly, quizzlcal5

STANDING pat only means standing where

believe In protective tariff who wish
TO see corrected the abuses which have
grown up under tho system Of protection.

even correct the abuses for fear that the

What Norris Thinks.
| While there Is generally a decided and
] extremely noticeable lack Of Democratic
votes In New Hampshire. the Democrats
| of that State are ms worthy OF the OBJ
lcctionablc designation. ''true blue" rs
i are any In the world. True, L.. Norris,
+ the New Hampshire member OF the Dem
ocratIc National Committee Is, about the
most confident and enthusiastic Democrat
\ ! have met. &
i '"rhe normal Republican majority In
New Hampshire is about $3.50 or 5000
he said 'o-dny Mt national headquarters,
I'm Off years the Republicans have not
been able to elect n Governor, but have
had TO rely on carrying the contest to
the Legislature. which is always Repib-
lcen, am not saying Parker Will carry
1 New Hampshire, but he Will get all. the
/ so-callcd doubtful Stntcs,l believe he
viii carry New York, which IL no longer
doubtful, New Jersey, Delaware Conncc-
lieut. Rhode Island, Maryland, Nest Yir-
sinie, Indiana. Wisconsin,. Montana,
| lduDD, Colorado and Utah. a
@"fhe apparent lack OF enthusiasm IN
both parties Is often commented on this
year. said Mr.. Norris, s"but there is as
l'innel enthusiasm In the two parties as
ihgra Was IN 1889, wien the Democrats
sWept the country ! believe there Will
he a hcnyy vote cast and that the Demo
