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."
