REPUBUCANS NOT DISTURBED OVER WON ENTHUSIASM Now York, Oct. 20. ? Speaking of politics ? and New York is putting in much tlm^ doing so thefee days ? it may be said that talk today turned for the most part upon the reception which Iho President received "up state" yeBterday, while on his way to Chicago. There is llttl? question that the Democrats were able to de rive vory appreciable encouragement from the warmth and the else o / these demonstrations, which occur red at a number of points, because the Democratic leaders have felt ob liged to put .In much time of late figuring how the President caA ro-clected without the 46 votes Of the Empire state. The Republican's, on the other (hand. affected to see little signifi cance in these demonstration* on the pkft of ^.measurably excited and nervous populace. Jhey #er? ln clined to agree with Brother Perkins, who the day before had remarked that Ohio and most of the doubtfuf states always had a way of going Democratic a couple of weeks before election. They were disposed, too. to grow -reminiscent and to recall some of the Intimate party hlatory. some of the *11 but sacred eplsodea In O. O. P. annals. There were the *reat. demonstrative and spectacular Bry an campaigns, when the democracy all but worshipped at the shrine of a hero such as they will never see In the person of the President. They tell of the days when even the un naralloled resourcefulness of the In comparable Hanna were taxed In the effort to bead off the Peerless. Thore was Just such a time as this, when all sections of the country were "on Are" for the Democrats, to revert to words of the enthusiastic Mr. McCor wlck: '*Mr. Hanna and a few of the DAorft faithful gather<*d In a room in i one o'f fhe hotels In this city to de termine if something could not be done to relieve an apparently desper ate situation. These leaders did not pay much attention to what Demo cratic publicity agents paid . about the crowds, but there were 'rusted agents of their own who cafne In to tell of the vast crowds much larger than those that have greeted Mr. Wilson ? that came to pay tribute to Mr. Bryan."
