CAPITOL GOSSIP
THE PRESIDENTS' SILENCE ON
NEW YORK.
He is not Saying a Word for the Plucky
Fight of Senator Hill. Germany Pro.

Wasninaron, Oct. 29.—That the
continued silence of President Cleve-
land concerning the New York cam-
paign is not pleasing to the average
Democrat it is useless to deny. True,
it Is not too late for him to say a good
word for the plucky fight that Sena
tor Hill is making,
experienced campaigners, do as much
words spoken earlier in the
would have done. Under ordinary
circumstances it would not be consid-

absurd. He thinks the only district |

Democrats will carry that by a very |
small margin. The other five

certain to go Democratic, as usual.
It is difficult to see where the I

sary to deprive the Democrats of the |
present large majority in the House, |

diculous claims have also been made
by Republicans, comes the declara-
tion that the Democrats will be cer-
tain to carry five of the six districts
they carried in "02, with a fighting
chance in two other districts, and
from North Carolina, where the Re-
publicans and Populists have formed a
fusion which at one time did look
dangerous, comes the assurance that
the legislature, which will elect two
U. 8. Benators, will certainly be Dem-
ocratic, and that the Congressional
delegation will be solidly Democratic,
a gain of one member,
Senator Faulkner, who, in addition
to the knowledge he; has acquired as
chairman of the Congressional cam-
paign committee, knows the district
as well as the voters personally and
thoroughly, says he regards chairman
Wilson's re-election to Congress as be-
ing well-nigh certain, and he would
regard it as absolutely certain were it
not for the fear that large sums of
money, which report says has been
contributed by the protected manu-
facturers who are so anxious to defeat
Mr. Wilson, will be spent in the out-
right purchase of votes. There ix no
law providing for a registration of vo-
ters in West Virginia, consequently
there is some opportunity for the ma-
nipulation of a large crooked floating
vote. However Senator Faulkner says
this danger will be minimized by the
vigilance of the Democrats. Of course
no amount of vigilance can prevent a
legal voter selling his vote, if he be so
disposed, but they can be detected and
both they and their bribers punished,
and they will be, wherever possible,
