New York Sure for Cleveland.

Gov. Cleveland’s friends in New York seem to be confident that he is certain of carrying that State in November. Th.e Times says: “Blaine has no more chance of getting the electoral votes of New York than he has of getting those of Georgia.” The Herald says: "Confidence in the sturdy common sense of the people of the United States inspires us with a trust that New York is not to be a ‘pivotal ’ State as heretofore—that is, thirty-six electors will not be essential to the success of Cleveland and Hendricks, but will go to swell an electoral majority for those candidates ample without. And we also have a confidence that the great vote of Cleveland and Hendricks in this city and in Brook! n will not be needful to their success in the State. We believe that they will ‘ come down to Harlem Bridge ’ with a majority ample enough to make their majority in the metropolis and Brooklyn merely a piling of Ossa on 1 elion.” The li'or.d, the Evening Post, and other prominent journals are equally emphatic tn their assurances that New Y rk is safe for Cleveland. The Independent Republican movement is developing amazing strength, notonlylnthe great cities but in the country. The St. John canvass is being pushed with great vigor, and the Prohibition vote promises io be very large. In New York City the business men are wdllnigh unanimous for Cleveland, and they are taking a very active part in ihe campaign. All the indications indeed print to a majority of not less than 5U,0(H1 for Cleveland in November.
