Policeman Mulvey of the fourth precinct made two important arrests last evening. The Prisoners are young colored men, whose names were given as Chas. Matthews, alias “‘Cheeser,” and Edward Jones. They were arrested on suspicion of having broken the window of grocery store corner of 43, and F strecta southwest and stolen ten boxes of cigara, some candy and a small amount of cach. While the men deny the charge they have told the officers enough to make them believe that they are the ilty parties. oOeeen Henry had » conversation with the after they were locked up, and admitted that they had snatched two pocket books from ladies on 7th street. In ‘one case one of the boys «aid that the woman grabbed one of them and held him for a while, but he finally managed to get away and escape. They are held at the fourth precinct mn for identification. ——>— Krumholtz’s Sentence Confirmed.

States That Are Considered as Debstable Ground by Both Parties. VIEWS EXPRESSED BY REFUBLICAX AXD DiMO- CRATIC REPRESENTATIVES IX CONGRESS 48 ‘TO THE PROSPECTS IX NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, INDIANA, ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN. As soon as the work of the session can be brought to a close both the old parties, between whom the struggle will be this fall, will begin to send their workers out into the close states and wherever there is any debatable ground. The republicans are expecting to devote some attention to parts of the south, where hereto- fore they haye had no chance of success, but where they now believe there is an opportunity forsome effective work. They have hopesof West Virginia and North Carolina, and North Caro- Jina democrats admit that it will be a very hard fight in their state. On the other hand, the democrats seem to feel that they havo very good fighting ground in Wisconsin and Mlinois, and they are going to ut forth a great deal of’ effort in those states, th partics feel that they have got to fight, and fight mighty hard, too, for New York, Indi- ana, New Jersey and Connecticut, and the dem- ocrats of Massachusetts are holding out great hopes for that state to their partisans of the rest of the country. ‘Tho number of debatable states, or states now held to be debatable, is thus very greatly extended, and the prospects are that the real fighting campaign will spread over a great deal more territory than usual. Speakers and work- ers will be sent into all these states xery soon after Congress adjourns. At this time s great deal of literature is being distributed by the com- mittees of both parties, though the old cam- paigners of Congress are’still droning and show but little interest. DIFFERENT VIEWS AS TO NEW YORK. AStan reporter talked today with some of the members of both parties from some of the states where there will be the hottest fighting. “Outside of the political leaders,” said Mr. Bel- den of New York, ‘tho republicans of the em- pire state are very harmonious, ‘There is almost nothing doing yet, and I hardly know what to say about the situation beyond that. I do not think that either of the opposing candidates is particularly strong in New York—that is, neither excites a great amount of enthusiasm—but Mr. Harrison is stronger than is Cleveland and the republican party is in better shape than the democratic. Cleveland will not draw any of tho boys from Harrison. His popularity does not lie in that direction, but is more with the business people, where Harrison is in no par- ticular danger of loss. I think Harrison will earry the state.” ‘The New York democrats, whether originally Cleveland men or not, all’ declare that he is going to carry the state by a good majority. Amos Cummings said: “I have not been in New York for some time and have not heard very much about the situation there. I have no doubt, however. that Cleveland is going tocarry the state by a good majority if they do not forco a local ticket on us. If they do that you cannot tell what will happen, for with two local democratic tickets in the field the leaders can- not control things and there ia bound to bea lot of trading which no one can stop.” Mr. Dumphy said that they were getting very good news of the drift of things in New York and that the prospects wore at this time that Cleveland would carry the state by an extra- ordinarily large majority. _ “If the mugwumps do not interfere too much Tam sure the major- ity will be excecdingly large. If the campaign is put in the hands of the regular democratic organization and tif leaders are held reaponsi- ble for it they will be put on their mettle and they will pile up a majority for Cleveland as big as has ever been secn in the state. The in- dications are that Cleveland ix going to put the responsibility of the campaign with the regular organization and the outlook is very bright.” THE NEW JERSEY SITUATION. “The democratic politicians of New Jersey,” said Mr. Buchanan of that state, “had Cleve- land forced upon them by the strong sentiment in favor of him among the rank and file of the ‘The political leaders wanted Hill, but ere forced to support Cleveland in the convention. Now they will be apt to jump over and ride on the crest of the Cleveland sentiment, which they could not resist, und as there is as yet no evidence of discord in the rank and file of the party, I suppose Cleveland will get about the normal democratic vote of the state. The state is normally democratic by « small vote, so that there is no use of our making great claims of what we can do there for Har- Tison. I think, however, that the radical posi- tion taken by’ the democrats on the tariff jnestion is going to hurt them, and I do not think tho situation is discouraging.” Mr. Fowler of New Jersey said: “Cieveland is going to carry New Jersey by an increased majority. He is wonderfully popular in the ‘There is a great enthusinsm over his nomination, and I am satisfied that he will get a bigger majority that was ever before given to a democrat in the state.” DEMOCRATIO CLAIM FOR INDIANA. Mr. Jason Brown of Indinna said that it was very hard to tell about his state. “There is a great fecling of disappointment in come parts o state on account of the defeat of the silver bill and Ido not know what effect it will have _on the vote. ‘The republicans have not a perfectly clear sky over them in the state either, and I am perfectly satisfied that our chances are as good as theirs and that it will be hard fight. Ifit is pretty evident that Cleve- land is making a good run in other parts of th country, if he shows a general strength, be will carry Indiana. ‘The things that made him weak in the state before, chiefly his pension vetoes and disappointments of men who wanted office or dissatisfaction of those who did not want office themselves, but disapproved of republi- cans being kept in—all these things have spent their force and will not hurt him now, while on the other hand Harrison has some of these dis- appointments to contend against.” “Why, certainly,” replied Mr. Holman to the question if Cleveland could carry Indiana. “The situation in Indiana is very favorable to the democrats, and I have no doubt in the world that Cleveland will carry Indiana, It is a democratic state.” HARRISON'S HOLD UPON THE STATE. “The people of Indiana are proud of Presi- dent Harrison,” said Mr. Johnson of Indiana, who 1s a devoted friend of the Prosident. * “Mr. Harrison isnot the sortof man to awake a great hurrah of enthusiasm among the boys, but he hasa strength which is more lasting than that of mere enthusiasm and more effec- | tive also. ‘Those who know him best like him best. ‘The people of Indiana know him. They respect him for his honesty and ability. They are proud of the great administration be has | given the country, and thoy will go to the poll | and vote to keep him in the White House. I cannot see that therefie a chance of his losing the state. Of course there is going to bea hard fight made by the democrats to carry the state, but Ihave no fear of the result. Mr. Cleve: land is not strong in the state. The antagon- ism he excited by his vetoes of pension bills’is still active. I do not think Cleveland can possi- bly beat Mr. Harrison in Indiana.” GEN. HENDERSON NOT AFRAID OF ILLINOIS. [ “I think,” said Gen. Henderson of Ilinois, “that we may suffer more from the third party in Illinois than the democrats will, but I do not seo where there is ariy reaon whatever to fear that the democrats can carry the state. They have a candidate for governor who goes about whooping it up, but I think that the republican candidate is stronger than he was before. I have no fear of the loss of ‘the state to Mr, Har- rison. Mr. Forman and Mr. Fithian both declared that the democrats were going to carry Minois. ‘There is going to be red-hot fight,” they said, “and Cleveland is going to carry the state, ‘The great issue will be the tariff, and along with it there will be local issuce which will give us } Llinois has been steadily growing democratic for some time, and the gains we make are substantial. We are making strength on the tariff izsue, we have a populay candidate for governor. while the republican candidate is Pees w THE FIGHT IN WISCONSIN. Mr. Mitchell of Wisconsin said that he was very confident that Cleveland would carry that state. “We are going to make an active cam- Paign there,” he eaid, “and tho ‘same Doras peloat aguin aoa Clovelsed ie ea in Wisconsin anyhow.” m4 Mr. Haugen admitied that the consin be a very hot one, did not think the democra SOCIAL MATTERS. received at the White House from Loon Lake about Mrs. Harrison's condition are of the most favorable nature, a steady improval in her health.
