DEMOCRATS SANGUINE.

With the Presidential elect
ion less than four weeks away,
important political events are
crowding fast upon each other.
The absolute certainty that the
great state of New York has
passed out or even the shadow
of Republican supremacy, is
working a remarkable change
in the situation in other So
called doubtful" States.
So far as New York is con-
cerned, evidence increases in
volume and variety that the Re-
publican managers are panic
stricken. The die is cast. The
handwriting is upon the wall.
No astrologer is needed to fore
tell what will happen In the
Empire State on the Sth of No
vember. That Parker and Her
rick will carry New York by
an overwhelming majority is
beyond question. The Democ-
racy is united and enthusiast
tic, the opposition is divided
and disheartened. More Dem
ocrats will sit in the New York
Legislature next year than have
sat there in a decade; more Dem
ocrats will be sent to Congress
from New York than have been
elected in any year since 1892.
A canvass of New Jersey and
Connecticut convinces the
Democratic managers that
once more the old saying, "As
goes New York, so go New Jer-
sey and Connecticut" will
come true. 1t requires but a
change of a few thousand votes
in those two States to land
them in the Democratic col
umn. The friends of Bryan
and Hearst are numerous in
both States, and with very few
exceptions they are loyalty sup
porting the Democratic ticket,
State and National.
Little Delaware, so long de-
bauched by the unspeakable
Addicks, is trembling in the
balance. The Democrats of
the State are absolutely united
and more aggressive than they
have been for a number of
years. Their full vote is regis
tered, and every possible Dem
ocratic vote will be polled.
Maryland is ,immovably in
the Democratic column. OF this
the Democratic National Com
mittee has been assured by
Chairman Vandiver and other
leaders. Every Democratic and
Independent newspaper in Bal
timore is doing it's best to make
the majority for Parker and
Davis memorable. The only
daily newspaper in Baltimore
of any account which advocates
four more years of Roosevelt is

Judging from its record, would
support Addicks for President,
if he bore the Republican tag.
whether his opponent were
Judge Parker or the Angel Cab
riel.
The Democratic managers,
both State and National. believe
victory awaits Parker and
Davis in West Virginia. The
State ticket is considered safe.
The improvement i'm the stu
ton has been so marked that
Chairman McGraw and Secre-
tary Campbell now lay claim to
the Legislature, which is to
choose a successor to Senator
Scott. 1t begins to look as if
the masterful personality and
great popularity of Henry Ct.
Davis would make his own
State Democratic by an UMPIRE
cedented majority.
Every where in the East there
is shown a firm determination
to turn the rascals out" and
restore the Democratic party to
power. The unterrified Demo
Gratis of the South are sending
their best speakers wherever
they are needed to help the
good cause along. Indiana
shows the spirit of the old days
when Hendricks and Mcdonald
commanded the Democratic
hosts. All over the country
Democrats are promising Con
