"It it an indignity that any free

New Yoke. Oct. 23. A statement
was given out to-day by the Democratic
national committee after a consulta
tion between Thomas Taggart, chair
man; William F. Sheehan, chairman
of the executive committee, and De
lancy Nicoll, chairman for the East
It says: "We have made' no formal
etategynt concerning the political situ
ationliefore this time, because the
material upon which alone the correct
judgment could be formed was not at
hand.
"Our effort during the past three
month hav been devoted to the task
of organizing and harmonizing the
party in the States hitherto considered
doubtful by reason of former dissen
sions. That work is now finished, and
it is impossible for the first time to
reach a conclusion based upon a sys
tematic canvass, which can never be
satisfactorily made until after organize'
tion is completed and the organization
has well progressed. In every State
and in all sections, Democrats have
buried their differences and are working
harmoniously and enthusiastically for
the ticket. Our canvass shows that
scarcely anywhere it there a trace of
the dissensions which for the past eight
years haa unhappily divided the party.
In the States of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, Dela
ware, West Virginia and in many of
the Western States our organization is
more complete and effective than ever
before in the history of the party.
Candidates for Governor who stand for
the very highest type of citizenship and
represent popular local Democratic
issues in all these 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, Con
necticut, Maryland, Delaware, West
Virginia and Indiana, and that in ad
dition those 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 Wisconsin.
'Illinois must also be classed in the
doubtful column, for although at this
moment our canvass there is imperfect,
it is sufficiently advanced to indicate
an unmistakable Republican defection."

being from under the control of the

murdered and burned in Columbus
county more than a year ago. Jim

the double murder and hit father it

Jabel went to the gallows protesting his

The correspondent then proceeds to
comment on the situation thus:
"o skill in leadership can bring
victory in the present struggle, but only
the firmer will of the commander and
hit troop. The wound- are much'
more dangerous now than formerly.
Thit it partly due to the use of the old

to the thicker clothing of the soldieree"
