|T LOOKS GOOD The democratic National committee makes a positive statement of the political conditions. They have the best organization in years, and are familiar with conditions everywhere, and as a result no boastful “hot air’’ is contained in their following analysis: “We have made no formal statement concerning the political situation before this time because the materials upon which alone a correct judgment could be formed were not at hand. Our efforts during the past three months have been devoted to the task of organizing and harmonizing the party in the states hitherto considered doubtful by resaon of former dissensions. That work is now finished and it is possible for the first time to reach a conclusion based upon a system- i atic canvass which can never be satisfactorily* made until after or-1 ganization is completed and the campaign has well progressed. In ' every slate and in all sections. | democrats have hurried their differences and are working harmoni-1 ously and enthusiastically for the' ticket. Our canvass shows that i scarcely anywhere is there a trace I of dissension which for the jiast eight years bus unhappily divid d the party. In the states of New York. Nw Jersey, Connecticut. Indiana, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia and in many of the western states our organization is now more complete and effective than ever before in the history of the pirty. Candidates for go vernor who stand for the very highest type of citizenship and represent popular local democratic issues in ail the doubtful states are greatly aiding the national ticket by their energetic campaign. Our canvass shows that we shall certainly carry by good majorities the states of New York, New Jersey, Connect!*

cut, Maryland. Delaware, West Virginia and Indiana and that in addition to these electoral votes we shall have the majority if not all of the electoral votes of the Rocky mountain states. It is impossible at this juncture to predict the outcome in Wisonsin. Illinois must also be classed in the doubtful column, for although at this moment our canvass there is imperfect, it is sufficiently advanced t indicate an unmistakable republican defection.” T. Taggart says Indiana will go democratic ana that Judge Parker will be elected. It must also be taken into consideration that Mr. Taggart usually knows his business. Hon. Henry'G. Davis, the boy orator, is doing valient service for democracy. His limit so far has been eight speeches in one day, and he wound up fresh as a daisy and as youthful k as any of the boys.
