 state, and while the probabilities are that Taft will get the state by fairly small margin, Bryan's chances are good enough to warrant every effort to put the best foot forward and run the race out to the end Chairman Connors is no fool as a politician. His declaration today that Bryan will carry New York state by 100.- 900 majority over Taft, and that he will risk all his prestige as a politician upon that prophecy, worries the republicans not little. The fact is, there are ele- ments in this state which do promise to give Bryan a fighting chance and the best thing the republicans can do is to accept the advice of their astute leader at Oyster Bay and stop deluding them selves with their present over-conf1dence. !"
 CIeveland's Words.
 Vice Chairman P. l.. Hall, who is in charge at democratic headquarters, was asked today for an expression regarding the statement attributed to former Presi- dent Grover Cleveland with reference to the presidential election. He said: "I have talked with more than 25 demo- crats of all factions about the published paper, no one of whom expressed the slightest resentment and all of whom ex- pressed regret regarding it. If MT Cleve- land were now living and could see the efforts now being made by democrats once more to unite the democratic party he would be among the first and foremost to counsel and advise in the burying of all differences. It is regretted even by those who were most bitterly opposed to the late President that this matter should be made public after his death. It Is re- garded by them as political trick, and they believe that the American people will resent the indelicacy of the publica- ton at this time. Nobody can answer a posthumus statement. So far as po- litical effect is concerned, it will do the democratic party no harm. The motive of those publishing such statement now Is too apparent"
