His case not dangerous but it keeps him from his duties. 15 -_ NEw YORK state is now thoroughly democratic from Governor Flower down to the smallest state office. Having carried the Empire state 50,000 majority there should be no boubt but that it will go the same way for a democratic president. The democracy is bracing up along the lines and we can see a victory in store for us. - last year by SINCE the republicans lost control of the senate in New York their members of that body are threatening to stay away to prevent a quorum and block business.

New York has 23 Democratic members on the floor of the House, but they represent only 44 years of service, while Texas has but 11 members and are credited with 74 years, while the 14 from Ohio represent only 10 years, and the 14 from Missouri represent 68 years.

A bitter fight is brewing among the republican leaders of thus state. Quay is at the head of one gang, and Harri. son’s friends are on the other side. Quay wants to capture the republican dele. gates from this state for Blaine as against Harrison and he is also anxious to secure a second term to the United States Senate and will have strong op. position for either move.
