BONHAM IN NEW YORK.
He Finds Everybody at Campaign
Headquarters Full of Confidence
His Appointments.

The Daily Mail received last night
letter from Gen. NJ. L. Bonham,
WHO is making democratic campaign
speeches, in New York, which will
be Of general interest. He writes
under date Of Oct. 26:
"My assignments to speak so Tar
are as follows: In this city tonight; !;
tomorrow afternoon at Jersey City
with Mr.. Bryan; Wednesday at Mys-
tic and Stonington, Conn; and Thurs
day at West Orange, New Jersey.
These assignments are important and
are agreeable to me, and [ trust l
shall be able to make it interesting to
my hearers.
HI have not been here long enough
to form any definite opinion Of the
actual condition of things, but I find
confidence and hope prevalent in the
minds Of those at democratic head
quarters, and in the minds Of all
those with whom I have met. If
Bryan carries New York, his election
seems assured; his carrying New
York depends, in my opinion, on the
labor vote,-aawsys an uncertain
quantity up here, and in this election
more uncertain than usual. The re-
publieans are no more assured, nor
confident, than are the democrats. A
most active campaign is being waged
by both parties, and the week WIFI be
one of great excitement, anxiety and
labor. I will write YOU further later
in the week, and perhaps cam then
give you a more definite prophecy OF
what the result will be. E"
