In dopondents, republicans and democrats turned out alike to see and hear the widely heraldea fomale orator of Kansas, who was the companion of Genural J. B, Weaver on his recently famous southern trip, and who assisted him in doterinining the age, sex and provious condition of divers impertectly in- cubated articles, manufactured with much trial and tribulation by many a teathered biped in the grateful shade of the palmottos on the plantations of far-off Georgia 1t was largely becauso of that unfortunate trip, and the luterview that was the out- growth of it, that many of tho auditors occu- pied seats in Exposition tall last evening, Jor with tho assertions tions, and denials pro and con, thoy wr very much at sea as to the position that Mr Lease dosired to take in the matter, and they wanted to hear from the lips of the lady her- self just what she thought of the paople of the south, und whether or not she wished to stand by the interview printed iu the Chi- cago luter Ocean and reproduced by T Bee. and counter-asser- o She Says It is Tr This is the foterview that the peoole’s party press was <o fast 10 aeny, on the ground that to so severely uttack the people of the south wonld no to deliverately kil tho 1ast hope thit the populists had of carrying asinele southern state. Murs. Lease did not disappoiut anyone but some of her populist auditors, so far us the terview was concerncd, for sne stated her position in terms tuat could not be misu derstood, and reiterated several times that the St. Louis fnterview was absolutoly cor- rect, She was anxious to make the statement and settle all doubt on the matter, for she referred to it ws soon as sho reached the front of the platform. and the first thing that she did was to tako Tuo Publie, a local poc pli’s party sheet, to task for printing a de- nlul of the interview ovor bher signature. The statement of Mrs. Lonsc, acknowlcdg- iog tho authenticity and corvectness of tho interviow, was a keen disappointment to mauy of the populists in the sudience and what she bud 1o say on tho subject was re- cewved vy thom 1 silonce, They recovered their spirits, however, when she came to her advocacy of 1ho ideas that aro embodied in the erazy quilt platform of the populists, and they apvlauded to tho echo her arraignment of tho old vartics. Rev. Rovert L. Wheoler, the populist nominee for congress from this dstrict, wa the first speaker, as Mrs. Loase kindly ‘gavo him a few minutes of Ler time to show him- sell aud ho utilized 1t i telling why a preacher ouzht to be in politics and h)w it happeued that preachers us a rale knew so littlo about this subject. > That Iaterview Was Straighr, Mrs. Lensa Introduced herself as an Irish- woman and snid that_she was proud of it, and then created a ripple of mterast by say- ng: *‘My frionds, bofore beginning my address this evoning, I would feizn ask your paraon for calling your attention to soine personal matters, matters that are unimportant per- haps, and yer important to me, @s they ave not truthful. I found in a paper ontitled, 1 think, the Weekly Pubhe, sinco I came to your city, a telezram over my sizuature, denying utterly and apsolutely that I had ever given reporter of the Chicago Inter Ocean tho interview that went the rovnds of the press u few days ago. I wish to correct that, friends. That interview in the Chicago Inter Ocean is absolutely correct; I gave that interview. 1 want to say that T am in th not for ofice, not for th for political aggrandizement; I am in this movement for truth and reform and the up- lifting of tho people everywhere—|apolause| and if thero1s a place in all this broad land where it Is not safe for an American citizen, where 1t is not safe for wan or woman to speak, I think it my duty to iet the American peaple know of thut place.” | Applause.] How Kolb Was Robbed, Mrs. Lease told of her trip through tho west and northwest, and then spoke of the treatment that had been accorded herself and General Weaver in the south, the con- trast muking all tho botter the scorching that she guve the people on the othor side of Mason and Dixon’s line. Of that trip, and the experience that was hers while away, she said: “'After leaving the silver producing states we wont south.

Ttio remainder of the specch was a repeti tion of tho stock 1n trade of the people's party. "t audlance was 6 ceedinely courteous and well behaved and listened with close at. tention to the end.

Me.

The republican view of tho situation s thus stated by the T'ribune: he recistra- tion in this city and throughout the stato was completed on Savurday. It is regarded by the republican leaders with complete sat- Isfaction, a carefvl examination of the re- turas not only from New York, Kings county aud neighiborhood of the eity, but from the swaller cities of the state and the rural dis- triots, so far as heard from, which was mado yesterday at republican headquarters as- sured Coairman Hackett and his associates in campaign work that the republicans are certain’ of carrying *the state for Hurrison aud Roid. Tho state of New York can bo lost to the republicans only on the occurrence of some contingency, and that 1s by no meaus likely 10 a canvass like this. ‘o rezistration in tnis ity upon as significant for the republicans. They ave all along preaicted a big vezistration. 'he fall off from the registered voto on election day may be estimatea ul7 per cent, which would ~ be 31,688, and would leave 238,000 in round numbers for the polled vote of the city. Isti- wating the number of ballots which will "bo cast for the prohibitionists, socialists and people’s party and the defect: ive at 8,000, this will leaye 280,000 votes 10 boe divided between Harrison and Cleveland. Four vears ago General Harrison received 106,932 and Mr. Cloveland had 162,738, This year noboay would puv Harrison below the number recoived in 1855, while conservative politicians of both parties Lave figuraa it at 120,000. At the ratio of incrcase in the re- publican vote from Blaine’s vote in 1854 over Garfield 1 1880, which was about 12 per cent, Harrison will have uext month 118,000 is looked votes. ‘Then the Harrison crease in 135% over Blaine in 1834 was over 17 per cent, If this ratio bo muntuined at the coming election President Harrison’s vote would be 25,000 Even at 15 per cent over four yoars 4go the vole for the present republizan can- didate would reach 11 “But the esumates at republican head- quarters were pluced at the lower figure of 116,00¢ votes for Harrison, and this would leave Cleveland 7,000 less than ho receivea four years ugo; that his majority will not €xceed 50,000 in New York city seems a most reasonable conclusion. Adaing 15,000 for Kings and 4,000 lor the counties of Rich- mond, Queens and Suffolk will make the democratic majority only 50,000 for the r publicens of the interior to overcome. That they will come down to Kings with 90,000 or 05,000 majority for Harrison is far more likely than unat tney will bring down less thun 60,000 majority, “The news of the regis- tration from the state at large is highly Tavorable to a heavy republican majority, us will be seen from the dispatches receéived yesterday from various points,” ‘Tho Times puts the ds=mocratic position thus *“Tho best promiso of democratic success in this state is found in the registra- tion 1n this city—300,739, It is about 44,000 heavier than ever before, All the democratic managers are sincercly salisfied with it, They know what it means bacause vhey know how the registration was worked for by the democrats, aud that it 1s fully up to thoir private estimates of what it shodia be, The republican representative vote Las not come out. In New York und Brooklyn the regis- tration this year is, in round numcers, about 50,000 more than it was in 1855, Indications are that tho increase in the number of on- rolled voters will of itself add avout 20,000 voters to the democratic pluralities south of the northern boundary line of tha city, Tho Cleveland plurality in 1588 south of West- chester county was 71,053, and the consarva- tive estimates made on the basis furmshed by the registration figures show that Cleye- land will not receive less than 91,000 plural- ity below that same liue.
