Barr, have made thelr report ‘to the Secretary of War, at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., on the 10th inst.

THE SITUATION AS VIEWED FROM WASHINGTON— DEMOCRATS HOPING TO BREAK REPUBLICAN MA- JORITIES IN THE NORTHWEST—A FIGHT TO BE ‘MADE FOR CALIFORNIA AND MICHIGAN. ‘However confident politicians of elther party may talk, it 1s quite evident that just at present the greatest anxiety and uncertainty 1s felt. Every possible effort is being made to get money and workers into the field, and 4n private conference the same confidence 1s ‘not manifested that is given expression to for publication, The average politician always speaks confidently in public. The democrats are more hopeful of New York than they have been here- Yolore, but in truth they do not feel that wey have anything like a sure thing there. ‘They are not so much annoyed by the cfoss-fight for mayor or fear of internal factions as they are of the loss of a large vote among the laboring classes that they have heretofore held. ‘There 1s a pretty general faith that Governor Hill, "both from || parsan and personal motives ‘Will, as far as possible, prevent his friends from scratching the national 'ticket. His friends well understand that any thing to indicate that he had traded off the national ticket would blast his poilt- ical tuvure, A CAUSE OF ANXIETY TO DEMOCRATS. ‘Therefore the friends of the Administration do not fear much from that quarter. What causes them the greatest anxiety in New York is the fact thas their Aguring on the canvass 1s all mixed up, and does not enable them to judge of the feeling of the state at large. ‘The increased registration in thecity is felt to’ be, as a matter of course, in their interest, but there 1s some uncertainty as to how much of this new registration 1s “for reve- nue only,” and may be bought up by the men with most money. Men who ‘have been much at the democratic headquarters all tell the same story of the diMcuity in the way of making a canvass or even a reasonably reliable estimate, They are satisfied there will be @ large increase in the democratic vote in their old strongholds, out they have no as. surance ~ that’ the very best_plural- iy they can raise in the clty may not be swept away in the interior. ‘The whole thing 18 a8 Uncertain as can be. The republicans a8 much as the democrats are perplexed by this un certainty. ‘They both feel that there might be a ‘Sweeping plurality either way. STRAINING EVERY NERVE. Every nerve 18 being strained and every re- source taxed to carry on the fight. It is very generally understood that as much money as can be raised for that purpose will be put “into New York state, Both Parties will do as much in this way as they can afford. It 1s sald that a strong pressure 1s velng” brought to bear on the Govern- ment employes at Washington, and that the intimations that the money 1s badly ate made more pronounced as the day of eiection approaches, Reluctance on the part of em- ployes cals for renewed appeals, andi provable that the money collected here will round up toa pretty good sum, Notwithstanding the failure of Ue eXtra month’s pay, the employes of the House have generally found it possible to contribute DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, All of the higher officials in the Departments are expected to feel enough interest in the result to contribute, and many tn the lower grades are doing so, Applications are being made by voth parties, but, of "course, the money is going chieilly one Way. A number of officials are ‘out taking part in the campaign.

As one clever observer put it, there ts a great movement on the part of the people, but neither Mr. Quay, Mr. Brice, Mr. Gorman nor’ Mr. Barnum can grasp it. “Iv is like looking at a crowd at a great distance. ‘They know it 1s moving, by the dust it raises, but they can’t tell which way it is going. The Yotcrs appear to pay less reyard to poutical leaderships than they did in °S4. Ail the Small political bosses appear to have iost their power, and the more aspiring leaders seein but lictle better off. ‘There is a great demonstration Of independence on the part of the voters and they Tetuse to give account to any one. BREAKING PARTY LINES, In 84 the politicians were thrown entirely out of their reckoning by the independent or mug- wump vote. Since then both parties have done much to weaken party ties. ‘The general policy of Mr. Cleveland since he has been in the Wiuite House has tended in this direction. There Las been a deliberate effort. to Drealt party lives, and the issues presented ure calculated to cause inany | changes. lt 1s known now that in neariy every State many voles are going from one party to the Other, and in the general shifting back and forth iis impossible to tell which way the popular drift tends, From some localities the managers in New York wiil get reports of a large migration of Tepublicans over to the democratic side. ‘Then thls will be offset at once vy reports of immense republican gains in democratic strongholds. ‘The result Of 16 all 1s to befog and bewilder the politi- cians, DEMOCRATIC FIGURING. ‘The democrats see a number of possibilities be- fore them, and they are probably scattering their forces more than the republicans are, The danger of defeat by the loss ot Indiana and Connecticut, even Should they carry New York, makes thei turn their attention to other states to make up for such a possible loss. Besides this it is tne wish of Mr. Cleveland, Second only to his hope tor re-election, that the repus.ican power in the Northwest should be brokeu; Luat the majorities all along the line should be reduced and one state be carried ob coger For this reason energy is being expended in states with hopeless repubil- can majorities, and decided efforts ure belug maue tocarry Michigan and Minnesota, ‘The principie efforts to reduce majorities are being made in Towa and Illinois. ‘A determined effort 1s being made to carry California as an offset for the possible loss of Con- necticut and Indiana. Giving Cleveland all ue other states be carried in '84, With ube loss of Con- necticut and Indiana, he would lack three votes of being elected. Either Colorado or Oregon could make this up, butit is among the least of probabil- ites that the democrats can carry either of these, But they have hopes of California which wouid Secure the election with five votes to spare. But West Virginia cast six votes for Cleveland, in 'S4, that they are by nO means sure Of this time. ‘The loss of these—even it tney carried Califor- nia—would 7 them BR ot area pee 5 Michigan has thirteen elector ‘woul thea Some Jn andy.

A Careful Survey of the Field. TRE STATE LIKELY TO GO POR CLEVELAND BY SIX OR SEVEN THOUSAND MAJORITY—BUT THE REPUBLICANS MAY CARRY THE LEGISLATURE AND ELECT A U. & SENATOR—SOME OF THE PECULIAR FEATURES OF ‘THE CAMPAIGN. Special Dispatch to Tar EvExixo Sra. Newax, N. J, Oct. 24.—The New Jersey polit cal situation is always peculiar. Under normal Conditions the state is always democratic in the popular vote and usually bas a republican legisia- ture, Hence, a reputation abroad as a doubtful State, to which New Jersey is less entitled than ‘Some others considered more certain. There are ‘two distinct campaigns in progress in the state Uhis year, both of national importance, both earn- est, and both in some doubt. One consists of the effort to overcome the democratic majority and | give the state to Harrison and Morton, and the other to Win enough doubtful legislative districts from the republicans to carry the legislature for a democratic Senator. Just at present it looks as If both endeavors might fall; the democrats carry- Ang the stave for Cievelaud and the republicans carrying the legislature. When Mr. Harrison was nominated, the republi- caus thought they could carry New ‘Jersey. 1 protective tariff policy had never been Chulienged squarely in New Jersey in auy form, and the re- pubilcans besides, who had been fighting the alr in 1854 and 1880, believed that on tue basis of the Mills bill Luey could sweep the state for Harrison, ‘The democrats, however, accepted the issue WIUl marvelous proiaptitude. ’ How thorough the party discipline Was appeared when Kepresentatives McAdoo and Pidcock gave their asherence to Ube Allis Dill. ‘The mugwumps of 1884 came Into line as in favor of tariff reform, while tne Very con- siderable Irish Vote for Blaine, Which in 1884 had reduced the democratic majority in the state to 4,000, was gragually won back. So far as the protective issue Was concerned, the hopes of the Fepubitcans have been gradually dissipated; but they stll have an issue on which they count. They believe the proiioition vote will be materially re- duced under the Lufiuence of the high license and local option legisiation by the republicans last Winter, aud that they may win with wis They also hope for much from the lack of energy shown by the democratic committee, That, the coumit- Lee 18 not an especially efticient body ts apparenuy true, and that so far tue leaders have hot done tmuch to help it 1s common report.

It will fall off heavily from 1886, bUL it Will hardly be reduced trom 1884; and counting the otner influences, tue Chances ail favor a majority of trom 4,000 to 7,000 for the Clevelond electors. This 13 an impartial View, taken from the statements of Doth parties, careiully compared. ‘the national issues have re- For a week: past ceived less attention in the state than tbat of ‘THE COMPLEXION OF ‘THE REXTLECISLATUKE. It has been borne in upon the politicians that the majority in the next Senate may depend upon the ‘ote of the Senator from New Jersey elected this winter. Two years’ ago both pariies made the grave mistake Of haviug only a single candidate €ach for Senator. AS a result, ex-Seuator Sewell ‘Was defeated, while ex-Gov. Abbe:t, the democrat Who defeated him, lost the election by a bolt, Which resulted In tie choice of Senator Blodgett. Now Mr. Abbett has a companion to help him carry Uhe legislature, Senator McPuerson, whose term expires next March, Whlie Gen, Sewell, who, contrary to expectation, is again in the contest ou the republican side, has William Waiter Phelps and half @ dozen others. But Mr. Aubett has never been thoroughly confident Uuat the derao- crats could carry the next legislature. ‘The dis- ticting of the state 1s against it, and there are other factors, outside of the strength of te republican cabdidates, and as for Senator McPher- Sou, he has been in # curiously undecided condi- tion, and is aware that if tue legislature did go democratic, he Would still have Mr. Abbett to beat and the bulk ef the Little democrats, a fac- Uon of anti-McPherson men, to overcome. In Short, the democratic campaign for Senator has never been of a cheerful kind. “On Une other hand, the republicans have never had much doubt that they would carry both branches of the ure. ‘Their high-license, local-opuion legisiauion has helped them, and the natural advantages of the contest are with them, while Sewell, Phelps, Geo, A. Halsey, Frederic A. Potts, and otuers are ali Working with extraordinary vim for the election of assemblymen, “The real contest,” said a ‘ated politicizn to-day, “1s bevween Phelps und Sewell,” apd certainly the bitverest features ot the ign have been develo) Since the two entered the contest actively. The nomination of republican assembiymen in his county has, for instance, hinged almost enurely On that question, So far Bir.
