The Union county conferees withdraw their candidate, and W. H. Hocken burg, of Milton, Northumberland county, was nominated. The Union county conferees refused to make the nomination unamious, and withdrew from the conference in n ill humor. The district is republican by about 1 2oo, and with a total vote of ao.ooo. It will take hard work to elect Hack enburg. The present member is Samuel D. Bates of Lewisburg, Union county, who served one term. Mr. Bates was a soldier and a director in many public works bout Lewisburg. In another column we give a draft showing a form of room for voting, and the manner of seating of the elec tion officers. We purpose from week to week to publish a'l information we can gather that will aid the voter.

The fact '.hat New York is a doubt ful St.Uf? in Presidential elections will only stimulate the democrats to more determined efforts to carry it. Doubtful though it is, the chances of carrying New York are favorable to the Democrats. In seven successive Presidential elec tions the State has been carried alter nately by the two great parties. This is the Democratic year. In nine successive elections for State officers the Democrats have won. The State government is now entirely in Democratic hands, and this is a strong point in an election. In the last election for representa tives in Congress the Democrats car ried twcnty-trcee of the thirty-four dis tricts by an aggrgeate plurality of near ly So.ooo. They repeated the victory last year, with national issues at the front, by a plurality of nearly 50,000. The new election laws, insuring a secret ballot and requiring registration in the country as well as in the cities, will materially help the Democrats. The candidate foi President, though nominated against the voice of the New York delegation, is loyally sup ported by all Democrats and will re ceive the votes of thousand of inde pendent citizens. What Richard Croker has just said for Tammany Hall is said or felt by the local leaders everywhere; they are determined that "the next President must be a Democrat," and are put upon their honor and their mettle to give to Cleveland and Stevenson the largest vote ever cast for Democratic candidates in this State. But in order that these good omens may be fulfilled, and these loyal pur poses realized, certain things must be done. 1. The party must bi thoroughly organized organized as Tildes marshalled the Democratic voters in his day, and as Hill has arrayed and inspired them for the past seven years. This must be done through the regular organization in the usual way. Any voluntary association of Demo crats is at liberty to hold all the meet ings and distribute all the documents that it please; but the attempt in any county either to discredit or to ignore the committee regularly constituted and commissioned by the party would inevitably result in division disaster. All such misguided zeal should be re solutely suppressed. II The principles of the Democratic party have been plainly and authorita tively declared in the national plat form. They should be boldly and persistently defended. No party ever won, or deserved to win, by cowardice, concealment or evasion. The Democratic party is a tariff reform honest money, anti-Force bill, anti-monopoly party. A winning fight in this State can only be made by a courageous assertion of Demo cratic principles and purposes III. There must be a speaking as well as a reading and an organizing campaign. A "still hunt- in a Presidential year is an absurdity and an invitation to defeat. IV. At the proper time there must be a careful attention to the registrat ion of voters and to the instruction of election officers in their duty. In all of this work The World will help to the utmost of its re sources and ability. It reaches every election district. It is read equally by Democratic, Republican, Inde pendent and doubtful voters. And while giving the news of both parties impartially, every number of The World, as the campaign progresses, will be a document of the sort that is readan appeal to the reason that issure to be heard. The next President must be a Democrat And to that end the electoral vote of New York is highly desirable and may be absolutely necessary. The World. Fusion Growing all Around, It seems to be settled that the Re publicans of Arkansas will withdraw their ticket for Governor and other State officers to be elected on the 1 st Monday of September, and cast the solid vote of the party for the People's State ticket, and the People's party will in turn cast their solid vote for the Republican Presidential Electors in November. Both Weaver and Field, the People's candidates for President and Vice President, have been actively stumping in Arkansas, and they are nopeiui 01 carrying tneir state ticket by a fusion of the two parties. The same fusion was aggressively tried in Arkansas two years ago, and it was defeated 20,000. It is estima ted that the People's party is now stronger in Democratic recruits than it was then, but the experience of Ala bama is likely to be repeated in a break of the colored vote in view of the Force Bill issue so pointedly pre sented in Harrison as the Republican candidate for President. Then the open trade of the Presidential Electors to the Republican and Force Bill can didate for President will be likely to make many Democratic converts fall back into the old Democratic ranks. The State election in Arkansas will be held on Monday next, and we shall soon have the result of '.he fusion movement in the South. ' The election of the People's State ticket is among the possibilities in Al aba inn, and if it shall be accomplished, what then? At first blush it would inspire the supi'orteis of Harrison to claim a divided South in the Electoral Collccc, but if the division of the South shall be made probable, what must be the effect of this People's victory on the dozen or more wobbling Western States ? If they can win in Arkansas, why can't they win in Ne braska, Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, the two Dakotas, Minnesota and Michigan and throw Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and possibly California, Or egon and Washington cither way? LAxjKing at me success 01 fusion witn the People's par;y as we may, , it pre sents a double-edged sword. If the solid South can be broken by the new party, the greatest hindrance to the breaking of a solid Republican West would be removed, and the probable outcome would be the loss of two or three Southern States to the Demo crats and the loss of a dozen Western States to the Republicans, with the defeat of both candidates in the Llec toral College and the election of Cleveland by the House. WOEK IN THE WEST COMMENCED- DEMOCRATS pleased with THE CHI CAGO BRANCH HEADQUARTERS. A large number of despatches, principally from the States west of the Ohio River, were received at the Democratic National Headquarters congratulating and praising the Campaign Committee for establish ing branch headquarters in Chicago. The action of the committee was the principal topic of conversation at headquarters, and all the prominent callers were enthusiastic over the prostect ol successful fighting cam paign in the doubtful Western States. Senator Calvin S. Bnce, of Ohio, in speaking of the Western head quarters said: "The conditions have greatiy changed since 1888. when the contest turned up n the voters of New York, New Jersey Connecticut and Indiana. Since then so many Western States have gone Democratic in State and Congressional elections that any result favorable to the Democracy may bi regarded as probable. Un der these circumstances special effort in that section of the country has be come justifiable and proper, and likely to promote the success of the Demo cratic National ticket " Senator Eppa Hunton of Virginia, spoke with much confidence of the result of the Presidential election in his State. The Republicans imagine they are going to press us very hard in Virginia, he said, and they are pre paring to use the third party move ment to draw strength away from us much as possible. But they are reckoning without their host. F. G. du Big non, ex-President otJ tne state ot Georgia, and Chairman of the Georgia delegation to the Chicago Convention, said yesterday: I have been making several speeches in Georgia against the third party men, and I think that the Democratic organization has the situation well in hand. I am convinced there is no danger of our party losing the State, and that she will roll im our arnmtnm. ed Democratic majority in November. senator au jiignon, who is regarded as one of the most eloquent speak ers of the South, has. at the reriuest of the National Committee, agreed to de liver acoresses in the west and in Northeastern States, including New York. Gen. Martin T. McMahon, the Tammany Hall Senator of the Eighth New York District, spoke to the following effect in his obser vation on the condition of the cam paign in his and adjoining States: The situation this year is peculiar, and differs from that of previous Presidential contests. In fact, people are everywhere moving in their re spective localities without waiting for machine impulse or instructions. In this way, while formal State action is not in advance of previous years, the campaign is really further on. Instruction, impaired in 188S, has been enforced by subsequent events and the campaign of education on the evils of monopoly taxation has been carried on steadily through strik ing object lessons within the experi ence of all with other great issues. The freedom and locol control of popular elections has been brought in peril and the people are rising to de fend the home-rule ballot-box against concerted assault, which applies to all sections of the country alike. I have no more doubt about Cleveland avid Stevenson carrying New York than I have about my own election last year to the seat in the Senate which I now hold. Smith M. Wood, of Plattsburg, was also a caller at headquarters. He said the situation in his part of the State never looked more encourag ing. Reports received of Cleveland and Stevenson meetings everywhere are strongly gratifying on account of the spontaneous enthusiasm exhibited, and the fact that the gatherings exceed the expectations of the promotors. A conspicuous illustration was the banner-raising meeting at New Rochelle on Tuesday night, which was addressed by Senator Daniel W. Voorhees. There were gathered from 2,500 to 3,000 people, among them 300 or ..400 women. As he discussed the leading issues of the tariff and Force bill the audience manifested the gieatcst interest, nnd upon the conclusion of the speech broke out into wild cheering. Mr- Cleveland Amazed' HK IlITlTRLV DENIES THAT HE WAS THE MEDIUM THR'JUOH WHICH 20, 000 PEOPLE WERE MADE HOMELESS. Michael Shelly, a merchant of Chat tanooga, got into a discussion recent ly on national politics with a Republi can neighbor who asserted "during Mr. Cleveland's administration he (Cleveland) permitted Land Com missioner A- J. Sparks to turn out 20, 000 families from their homes in Min nesota and other Northwestern State." Mr. Shelly adrcssed a letter to Mr. Cleveland on the subject and received the following reply : "Gray Gamles, Buzzard' Bav, Mass., Aug, 22, 1892. My Dear Sir : Your letter of the 12th inst. is at hand. In reply I have to say that I have not the least iJea what 'your worthy friend' meant when he declared that 'I had been the medium through which 20,000 families were made homeless and lost their all fighting for their rights.' 1 am perfectly well aware that I have been the means of saving some homes to my countrymen and have tried very hard to make the burden of their lives easier. I am amazed at receiving from the Southern country letters con taining charges like that which you bring to my attention. "I am surprised, first, at the ingen uity necessary for their concoction without the least scmblence of foun dation. I am more amazed that with my record before the people of this country such baseless lies should be deemed sufficient arguments to prejudie me, and the cause which I for ihe time being represent, in the minds of the Southern people. "Very Truly Yours, 'Grover Cleveland." The emigrant Steamer Moravia ar rived in quarantine at New York Tuesday night with Asiatic cholera on board.
