Election Prospects as They Appear in Different States. THE VOTE IN NE YORK. The Result of the Presidential Con- test Depending Upon It. THE FOUR DOUBTFUL STATES. Prophesice—Views of Correspondents on the Ground Where the Battle is to Be Fought, It becomes more ctear as the political cam- paign progresses that the result of the presi- dential contest will almost surely be deter- mined by the vote of New York. Eager repub- licans hope to barely win without its electoral vote, but it is probable that the same influences which may carry {t against them will operate to carry the other doubtful states for Mr. Cleveland also. On the other hand, it is undis- pated that the loss of New York will be fatal to the democrats. If the states are counted as they voted in 1888, aswaming the new ones to be republican, the first point that becomes epperent is that Mr. Cleveland must necessarily under the new ‘“pportioument, tn addition to the states he car- ried before, regain both New York and Indiana to succeed; New York alone will not suffice. If he carries four or five of the Michi- gen electors, generally conceded to him * the republicans ander the new law for choosing clectors in that state, he can then dispense with either West Virginia or Connecticut, but not both of them. And under no combination of the figures can he be slected without New York and Indiana; the loss of Indiana alone will defeat him. So would the loss of both Connecticut and West Virginia without compensating western gains. The loss aarter will be fatal to democratic hopes, as will be quickly perceived by a glance «t the following succinct statement: %y storal votes. THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE SITUATION. This is the democratic situation in « nutshell, stated without prejudice. It also shows the republican strength as well as weakness, but to make everything perfectly clear before entering upon the eration of the vote of New York it may be well to state the republican side of the situation. If Gen. Harrison carries all the states he did in 1888 and the new states gums sound and healthy, and lendsanaddedcharm to the pretty mouths of the fair sex, with whom it is in high favor.

HARRISON'S PLURALITY. A suggestive fact about the foregoing figures is that in all these yeags and among all the can- Aidates of the republican @arty since 1856, with the single exception of Fremont, Benjamin Har- rison carried the state above Harlem by the largest plurality. Fremont was greatly aided by the candidacy of Millard Fillmore, who polled over 124,000 votes in 1856, mostly from the rican issue, which was a burning one in those days. Presi- dent Harrison's plurality exceeded that of Lin- coln over the Dougias-Breckinridge-Bell fusion- try, of 116,517. Altogether 125,415 plurality. remarkab! tion gave him the democratic nomination for the ~ presidenc vy in 1884, but that fall carried the two cities by the reduced of only 58,793 over James G.

This extraordinary change is significant of what may happen any year in New York politics and how sety little Teal change there has been in its polit sent ment. MILL'S LARGE VOTE. ‘There is another illustration of the idiosyn- crasies of New York politica in the election David B. Hill to the governorship by 19,1 fe a plan ya He ir. Cleveland's, 685,965; Hill over 14,499, Hull received the highest total voteever any candidate in the state, re- stato and national, that have defeated Harrison.

This great difference, result- ing in Hill's election. whereas Mr. Cleveland soffered defeat, convinced many of Mr. Cleve- land's followers that Hill's friends had traded off the ex-President to secure his own election. But the difference was more probably caused by the open #u] Hill received from many wablicens onthe Liquor invue, the saloou meu strongly for Hill all over the state. SCANSING THESE FrOoURES closely several important facts appear. None of the democratic presidential or state plural- {ties below Harlem since the republican party to overcome that of President Harrison above except the gubernatorial vote of Cleveland and Hill—the first caused by a republican bolt and the second, almost infinitesimal, attributable to the Hquor vote. Neither will be considered in weighing the chances of a presidential election, as Doth were the result of extraordinary causes not now operating. The test yote in 1888 was that for the jency. It will be noted that Mr. Cleveland's total vote for governor in 1882 was lose than Hancock's for President in 1880, yet Cleveland's plarality reached the won- figure of 192,854 in the state, while cock lost it by 21,038. In 1882 the republicans revolted tt machine methods and simply declined to go to the pola. Cleveland's total for governor was 115,020 less than President Harrison's total in 1888. THE NEXT LARGEST PLURALITY below,Harlem was that cast for Gov. Flower in 1891, which was 79,601, out of a total of only 482,899, over 44,000 less than the total of the five counties tn 1838, which was 477,068. The plarality of Mr. Fassett, the republican candi- | date for governor,was smaller than ever thrown | above Harlem in a presidential year since 1856, | being only 81,664, o 54,000 less than that of | Gen.

President Harrison's vote | would we defeated Flower by 20,000 | plurality. TRE STAY-AT-HOME voTEs. To make some of these points more clear the aggregate vote of the two sections separately for both years is given, with the falling off in each: 1891. Loss. Above Harlem. 782,186 115,256 Below Harlem 43: 44,169 Total vote ......1,324,510 1,165,085 150,425 The more the foregoing figures and those fol- lowing are etudied the more apparent it be- comes that the stay-at-home vote of the state of New York is always more largely republican than democratic, not only in the country, but | also in the cities. A comparison of the official democratic and republican vote of 1888 with that of 1891 will greatly aid the reader in form- | ing his conclusions: Repub- Demo- Plural- lican. cratic. ity.

Another fact made evident by these figures ts that the democratic vote of New York and Brooklyn can be depended upon under nearly all circumstances, while the republican vote of the upcountry fs very fluctuating and uncer- tain, dependent largely upon the candidate. With = good candidate it pours out in over- whelming force. The variations in pluralities cannot be claimed as showing any marked change of political sentiment in the state; they merely emphasize the fact that it is more difi- cult to organize and get out the republican than the democratic vote because it is more scat- tered and that the republicans are only aroused to united action by some paramount issue like the presidency. The New York democratic leaders fully understand this indifference of the country republicans to minor issues, and that is the reason why they always concede the state to be adoubtful one in a presidential year. SOME THINGS EXPLAINED. ‘The following tabulated statement gives the aggregage vote of the two great parties at every national election since 1856 and for the chief candidate at every off-year election since 1868. It will show why the republicans always stand a fighting chance for success in presidential yeara with a candidate who can unite the party and call out ite full vote, and in a measure also ex- plains why they lose four out of every five state elections: a ee = As73- iB! 1878. 1386.

THE MAJORITY IN NEW YORE. One other point remains to be touched upon to convey a full understanding of the relative strength and chances of the two parties in New York—the vote of New York city and Brooklyn, Republicans in the crisis of every campaign manifest an unaccountable apprehension about what is vaguely understood as to be the ever- increasing Tammany and democratic majorities in those two cities. They never breathe freely until the returns from these democratic strong- holds are all in. On the other hand enthu- siastic but thoughtless democrats quadrennially predicate their hopes of victory on an unpre- Gedented tidal wave majority in those towns. But it isa fact that while their aggregate vote bas largely increased the democratic pluralities have not markedly changed in either city since the republican party sprang intoexistence. To demonstrate thia the following table, showing the aggregate vote of New York county for the chief candidate at each election named since 1856, with the plurality, which also incidentally sheds light on some other points, is give: Year. | Office.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. Gnaxb Raptps, Mica., October 16, 1892.

BIDDING YOR THE voTES. The democrats have gone to the upper pentn- sula for two candidates on the state ticket and an clector-at-large and the republicans have been equally aa generous. The domoorate have been rushing speakers through that part of the country and the republicans have not been ing with a le talent to instruct the voters. Judge Morse, the gubernatorial ominee, made an upper peninsula trip in Sep- tember, and John 'T. Rich, the republican teresting | strength with organiz: chair, was two years ago the candidate of the Farmers’ Alliance before the democratic con- vention. On.the first ballot he had the largest vote, but did not ha: majority, and fell con- siderably short of the necessary two. thirds. His regu- lare—gave way and be was made the nominee of the democratic party and elected as such. Naturally he catered considerably to the farmer element and the regulars found themselves out- side the breastworks, as it were. A revolt was nized and a trap was sprang upon bis ex- cellency. In the campaign two scission the alliance men wore clamoring to know whether | so: Mr. Buchanan indorsed the and the democratic chicftains adi Keep his mouth shut.

The echemers then brought out Judge Tur- ney of the supreme court on a platform of hostility to the alliance. Buchanan and his followers naturally thought, that he was en- titled to the renomfnation and the prospecta were at first very bright, but a campaign of unusual virulence was inaugurated and a policy of pro- scription adopted. Open adherence to Buch- anan’s fortunes was abandoned, and secing that there was no chance of being nominated the governor declined to go before the democratic convention, but announced himeelf an inde- pendent and has received the populist indorse- ment. The present governor is by no means strong character, but it cannot be said that there {s any great amount of enthusiasm for ‘Tarne alliance democrate declare that they will not vote for him because he bas in effect invited them to get out of the democratic ty. Here in Memphis and in Nashville there is considerable opposition to him on the part of some of the trades untonists. I know that some of them are working actively against him and for Buchanan, who, for some occult reason, ts considered the workingman’s candidate. His labor is, however, not itself organized or universal, and I hear a num- ber of workingmen declare poritively that those who are working for Buchanan are not author- ized to speak for the unions collectively. Tur- ney’s candidacy has aroused as little enthusiasm in this section of the state as any nomination ever made by the democratic party. and of course democrats are wide aj their esti- mates of the result. Except with the chronic ‘optimists there is widespread apprehension as to the outcome, andI have heard prominent democrats predict that Turney was certain to. be defeated. Be that asit may, Judge Turney nominee, will do likewise. The upper peninsu- In will be one of the battlefields of the cam- paign, the republicans striving to hold their own and the democrats to capture it. Both are confident of the result, but surface indi- cations Just now point toa democratic victory in that ‘rock-ribbed section of country. The past year has been a dall one in upper penin- Sula business and industrial circles. Many of the iron mines are shut down, the copper market is depressed and the lumbermen are transferring their camps and logging oper- ations to the Canadian side of the line, where stumpage is cheaper. Many men are idle and business is dul, and the conditions) have, been ripe for the propagation of people's party an democratic idean, “The Australian ballot eys- tem is in vogue in Michigan and the republi- cans may well be alarmed at the prospect. IN OTHER DISTRICTS. The fourth district is another interesting field of action. This district, as at present constituted, returned a republican plurality over the democrats of 1,068 on gov- ernor and 715 on Congressman two years ago, while the populists polled 3,004 votes and scattering 1,419. The democrats and populists have combinied this year on George . Yaple, while the republicans have nominated yr. H. F. Thomas, Both candidates are con- ducting very vigorous campaigus and both have ample assistance in the way of speakers. The democrats are especially desirous of electing Mr. Yaple, who made a brilliant mark in Con- ress as afree trader when he defeated Mr. arrows about ten years ago, running on the fusion democrat-greenback ticket. ‘The repub- licans are equally anxious to beat him, but if ‘ote two years ago is any criterion, while it ossible they might beat him singly, yet their chances of success the combination are doubtfal. This, the fifth district, is still another baili- wick around which hoves many uncertainties. It was carrjed in '82 by the united greenback- ersand_ dethocrate by a plurality of less than | 500, and it remained in the democratic oolumn until 88, wheu Capt. Chas, E. Belknap was elected by «plurality of 2.500. In 1890 it went democratic by 2,300, and one year ago ina 5 election called to fll vacancy, Capt | Be Knap was re-elected by » plarality ot@.2b0, with BF ened RY. in the field polling nearly 8, votes. is year the democrats and populists have combined on Geo. F. Rich- ardson and Capt. Belknap is the candidate on the other side. e republicans have unearthed the fact that Mr. Richardson is in the employ of a railroad as a tax ir tipbstronry bad $150 a month, and are using ‘this against ‘among the anti-corporation clement, and espe- cially in the city, where Mr. Richardson is not woll known. In his career Capt. himeelf admits that he has ahard fight of him. ‘THE “FORCE BILL” AS AN ISSUE. It does not seem to me that the same ele- ment of uncertainty pervades the presidential election. Mr. Cleveland's chances are dis- tinctively better than Judge Turney’s of carry- ing the state. Very frequently an alliance man can beheard to say: ‘Turney thinks he can get along without my vote, co I guess I'll vote for Buck. But I can't vote for Weaver or Har- rison. I'm afraid of the force bill. The out-and-out populists laugh at the ides of the force bill as much as do the republicans. T asked « populist candidate for the legislature today whether he had any fears of a revival of that measure. “It’s perfectly absurd,” he said; “‘the bill was killed by the republicans themsel athe have no idea of reviving it. I see the demo- cratic papers are saying that if the republicans should obtain control of all the branches of the government they would be dead sure to the bill. Didn't they have control of all the branches before, and did they pass it? We can't be diverted in this manner.” “What do you hope to accomplish by voting for Weaver?” I asked. “We want recognition,” he said promptly. «When we send our petitions to Congress now they give us the laugh. We expect to have fifty or sixty votes in the electoral college.” WEAVER ELECTORS MAY TRADE. “What good will that do you? Will it not throw the election into the House?’ “No. We don’t propose to let it go into the House, unless the democrats make a satisfactory deal with ns. The fifty Weaver electors, before they cast their vote, propose to know from which of the two candidates—Harrison and Cleveland—they can expect substantial results, There is no law in this country compelling Cleveland elector to vote for Cleveland, or s Weaver elector to vote fur Weaver.” “But the implied pledge?” I said. “Do you mean to say that if the state of Nebraska selected Weaver electors that those electors will vote for Har- rison if he promises them more than Cleve- land and that they will ignore the decision of their state?” ‘Exactly. We propose to elect Weaver if we can. If we find we can’t we will do the next best thing for our party, make a deal with ihe candidate who will treat us best. No, sir, we don't propose to let the contest go to the House except on our own terms.” ‘The populists talk very confidently of their large numbers, but one cannot help wondering where they keep their adherents hid. The populist meetings are mere handfuls, and the avowed populist is certainly a rare bird. It not making many and influential one- mies in his own party, and mn Mr. Rich- ardson’s engagements and Mr. Belk- nap’s personal enemies the contest will be close ‘and the result interesting. ‘MR. BURROWS’ EASY TIME. The third district contest is interesting chiefly for the picnic that Mr. Burrows is having. ‘Two years ago, when the democrats had pretty pearly everything in sight,the district returned « republican plurality of over 3,000 for the state ticket, with 2,000 populist votes in the boxes. This year the democrats and populists are each Foing it alone, and Mr. Burrows wil be cleoted ya plurality anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000,and won't have to raise his finger to bring about this result, either. THE LABOR YOTE. ‘The labor organizations in the state, acting independently of democrats, republicans or populists, are taking a lively interestin politics. labor organizations, the record of G. J. Diekerna, the re- yublican candidate for attorney general, when was in the legislature and have adopted res- ¢lutions denouncing him as an enemy to labor, The same organization is looking up the record of John T.

The democracy will probably stand off the other parties int that section. So that the result depends on west Tennessee, where the registration indicates a lukewarmness that has frightened the indiecreet young men who have made that vote s vindictive vote, eager for revenge.

Jost ata time when the third party schiem in South Carolina appoured to have disap- peared forever under the tidal ware which swept over Georgia and Florida recently the oger bobs up serencly again and once more confronts the supposedly united democracy of the palmetto state. Its materialization st this time may or may not have serious influence on the vote for President in November next, but there is little doubt that it bas assumed a seri- ous aspect, involving, aa it does, the entire Farmers’ Alliance. The new dreak was devel- oped within the past few days and in the fol- lowing way: A newspaper known as the Cotton Plant ts the organ of the Farmers’ Alliance and is owned by the alliance and by @ board of alli- ance directors. Up to this time its editor was J. William Stokes, who ran as democratic candi- date for Congress from the first districtand was besten in the democratic primaries by Con- freeman W. H. Brawley, owing entirely to the jeavy vote polled for Brawley in city. ‘During the Cotton Plant he ly ty principles, while ite itor was running for Congress as a democrat. with treachery, Editor and Candidate Stokes announced that the editorials in question were written in his absence by the assistant editor, J.

In point of fact the alliance leaders openly and persistently avow that the alliance is the democracy and that all who are opposed to the alliance are re- | argon disguise of democrats. Such ying the case, and there is very little doubt that it is so, the voters of the state are now told that the alliance, which is the democratic party, has sold out the official organ of the alliance (or the democracy) to the third party. The peculiarity of the situation is enhanced in view of the way in which the state was represented at national convention in Chicago. When the Farmers’ Alliance first be- gan to develop strength in this state three ‘ears ago assurances came from all sides that t was not @ political organization and would take in politics, notwithstanding which Alhance captured the democratic machinery and elected B. R. Tillman in 1890. In the early part of this year there was a good deal of wire pulling and cross firing between Gov. Tillman and the Farmers’ Alliance. The governor had come out boldly against the alli- ance demands, and there was much talk of dropping him. “Tom” Watson of Georgia was brought over to convert the governor to the subtreasury scheme, but it seems did not succeed. There were occasional flashes of third party oratory and literature from within the order, and the relations betweon the gov- ernor and the alliance leaders were evi- dently strained. It is more than prob- able that the strong fight wi by the conservative democrats st Tillman drove the governor and the ce together, forcing them to make mutnal concessions for their common protection. As proof of this it is pointed out that all the federal places were given to alliance men, while Tillman was given the alliance support for governor. It was only the fight made by the conservative democracy that ‘saved the state to Cleveland and Stevenson—that and the dread of the “force bill.” It looks now, however, as if the truce between Tillman end the alliance patched up on the eve of the democratic pri- mary was only = temporary makeshift. Each party was afraid of the other. Tillman surren- dered or abandoned his fight against the aili- ance demands and its and they waived their opposition to the democratic party of the ul I cis ro§ .

J -_— by Managers on Both Sides. Correspondence of The Evening Star. New Youu, Oct. 17, 1892 ‘There ts great uncertainty in the minds of the mapagers of the campaign as to what is Going to be the result. A prominent Pennsyl- vania democrat just here had » consultation » fow days ago with Chairman Harrity about the situation and was frankly told by Mr. Harrity that the aitnation was very close and that no- body could tell what the result might be. It is very evident that in regard to New York state nobody i able to give any accurate forecast re- garding the result. The firet day of registra- tion showed both parties very active in out their voters, though, on the whole, the democrats seemed to be rather more active than the republicans. Much anxiety is felt with ref- erence to she registration and polling returns from the interior of the state, for it is the ont- of-town section of the state that will do the business one way or the other. A good deal of pressure is being brought to bear by republicans to bring to the attention of the public the fact that the election of Cleve- land will mean democratic control of all branches of the government, and it is claimed a general sweeping revision of the tariff and financial systems of the country. Republican mani think that {f this fact is Grought sharply to the attention of the beslasss unse ef the country they will not be inclined to encour- age it. The average man who is in business to- day, they claim, has built up his business under the present protective system, and if his busi- ness has been successful they believe he will not want to change the system under which it bas been established. ‘4 COMBINATION IN MINNESOTA. The democrats have sprung « new scheme in the northwest and are makings fight to take the Minnesota electoral vote ont of the repu! lican column.

An effort will "probably be made to get Mr. Cleveland to attend that m and appear ou the plat- form, though whether he will be willing to figure in that role is doubtful. STOMFING FOR REPUBLICANS. Ex-Congressman John Finerty, who is well remembered by the people of Washington, hay- ing represented a Chicago district in the House a few vears ago, is stumping New York state for Harrison and Reid. He was a democrat, it will be remembered, when in the House, but has been with the republicans for several He spoke at Troy last nightand goes to Syracuse, Rochester and other citics. Irish vote seems to be rather doubtful in ite support of Mr. Cleveland. Mr. John D. Sell- man, ® prominent Vermont Irishman, is also stumping New York, and he says that the Irish-American, German, Italian and Hi voters are hard’ at work in the interests of re- publican success, They are, he thinks, more actively with the republicans this time than ever before. “It is my judgment.” said be, “that with a fll vote, « fair day and an honest count the repnblican ‘party babi tho state of New York by a majority sufi- ciently large to leave no question as to this state being in the republican column for Har- ison and Reid.” “I have had years a humor in made to shave, as small bolle which made me pimples would becut, tas the shaving to ny ¥ three my face is all clear ‘smooth as it well, all from the use : 8. 8.8.
