HIGH HOPES IN HUGHES.
Washington Republicans Think HIS
Election Certain.
Iron III. Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington. Sept 27.-To say that Repubh-
cans in Washington are delighted over the work
Of the Republican convention at Saratoga hardly
conveys the enthusiasm with which news OF the
Hughes nomination was received here To a
less extent the news from Buffalo was received
with satisfaction because IL is regarded as in
suring beyond peradventure the election Of the
Republican candidate Wherever two or more
Republicans were gathered together to-day there
was rejoicing at the outcome Of the conventions
and predictions that Hughes would sweep the
state were heard on every side.
Representative Parsons is highly compliment
ed by mis- friends in Washington as the master
hand which steered the Republican park INTO
port with flying colors and the entire tlchel
nominated at Saratoga comes in for praise:
Those who are disposed TO look far ahead
regard the nomination and almost cerlain
election Of Mr. Hughes as Governor as augnr-
ing well for the national election two years
hence and as assuring. if such assurance Vert
necessary. that New York will be found safely
in the Republican column when the ballots are
counted in November 1905.
At Democratic headquarters In this city
there was absolutely no enthusiasm over the
news from Buffalo. and il was even intimated
that Hearst's selection would prove more
obstacle TO the difficult path Of the Democratic
candidates for the House Mr.. Bryan struck
q body blow al the Democratic campaign with
his advocacy of federal ownership of railroads.
and fl is feared that the nomination of Hearst

The anti-Hearst sentiment in Broome County.
which was apparent among the stanch oldtime
members of the Democratic party before the
state convention, is crystallizing into a Hughes
sentiment that will add largely to the normal
Republican vote in this county on Election Day.
Cornelius Ackerman, E. H. TiChener, Alderman

Gratis who have stuck to the party through thick
and thin have declared against Hearst and his
methods. Just the shape this protest will take
whether in the form of support for third ticket
or an open boom for Hughes. has not been de-
cided upon. The anti-Hearst people declare that
the whole proceeding whereby Broome County
was secured for Hearst was unfair and unjust
from the beginning. 1t is believed that within
