N'c Voi. Ti.e democratic party,
trad to us r-a.ntw -chas.n j? proclivities,
witn a "nurrah boys" ttourisn, and
sr.th aa outward show of confidence,
cia.rus New York by anywhere from
-0,0a) to '.u.uuO uiajority. All that they
ay ia support of their claim is that
"the ti ie is running the.r way," refer
ence be. 114 had, probably, to tae acUi
s.ti'.n of Mr. MacVeagh, whom Iavil
U. Hill classes as one of the "venom
ous das of political hypocrites and
mountebanks."
The democratic assertion is aa easy
one to make. Ttie republicans say that
the electoral vote of New Y'ork Will be
cait fur Harrison and lbid, protection,
reciprocity aud honest money. They
make no claim as to th-j size of the
majority, although they beliove trat it
will be a substantial one. flie repub
t.cans give time reasons for their be
l.efs. They are confident because of
tno general prosperity of the state, and
particularly of that clas which
makes up the lody of the
party, the wage-earner, democratic
tate officials have showa that
there was a net increase of wages
ia lvJl of i-'j,:;77,'J'io; a net increase of
production of ?31 ,.'115,130; a net in
creasy of savings bank deposits of $13,
7 V.4H; a netlncrease in investments
in building and loan associations of
?IS,7'JJ,7Jo; an increase in the value of
real and personal property of $bV3l7,
7o3; and a net increase of deposits in
.date, banka of $l V-3-,3t.
Hut there is another aud more signi
ficant cause for republican confidence.
The registration, rural and city, which
has jut been completed, points toward
republican victory. Why? Because
the enormous increase in the registra
tion exists not in the lower wards and
the Ilowery section of New Y'ork City,
where corruption and democracy are
strongest, but in the upper parts of the
town and in the annexed districts,
where republicanism is strongest. Then
too, in the rural districts of the state,
where the big republican majorities
are piled up, the registration has won
derfully increased over former years.
All this points to republican victory.
It will be noted that, unlike demo
cratic confidence, republican confi
dence is based upon facts, upon which
there can bo placed but one interpre
tation. '
Iemoortic newspapers and orators,
or rather stump, speakers, continue to
claim that the colleges are with them
this year. But as usual the facts are
against them. A thorough canvass of
Howard university which, itis claimed,
is the banner democratic college, has
just been completed and shows 1,114
republicans, Sol democrats, 31 prohibi
tionists and 14 undecided. This can
vass was prosecuted by the collegedaily,
the Crimson, and is consequently not
open to question. At Y'ale, the rolls
of the republican club show a mem
bership of 1,-uO, of the democratic
club only 1Q. At the University of
Michigan a recent political census
show l,V republicans and ''00 demo
crats. And so it is at nearly every col
itZ9. I'.ut the democrats will not
abandon their claim in sp.te of this.
Sun a roii 1ok.v has maintained a
haughty nul ilerence as to the result
ever since J. Kiley Deun.son knocked
him out in the people's party conven
tion. The senator is a foxy politician.
He .au see defeat ahead of him and is
w;e enough to have an explanation
for it prepared in advance. Kx-Mayor
Meketw is qu ttly attending to busi
nfss while popular sentiment crystai
iics in hi favor.

tne lack of complete organization. The

October 14 and much m.ght now be ex

Wells, secretary of the New
Hampshire conference, the report was
read by Mrs. J. I. Tike. Two rooms in
the new home at Ocala, Fla., had been
named at an expense of fr-'-K) and
many other fields had been helped
financially.

Mrs. 1). L. Itrown of the New Kngland
S at hern reported that the work dur
i..g the year had been rather to
strengthen tho stakes already set
than t lengthen the cords. Three
hundred and ninety. three new mem
bers were added, making a total of S75.
The amount of supplies was fc"',oS1.33,
an increase of fS'JJ.'i7 over last year.
Mrs. J. 1. Maynard submitted her
report for the New York Kast, showing
progress during the year. Two organi
zations reporting 175 members have
been added and thero is a steady
though slow growth.
The Nebraska conference reported
by Mre. J. 11. Woodcock showed some
auxiliaries aud bauds organized.
Mrs. Helen I. Ferguson of I'tica, N.
Y. submitted tne report for tho north

creasing number of earnest consecra
ted workers.
Tho report of the north Ohio was
read by Mrs. N. S. Albright, Several
new societies have been organized and
much good work has been accom
plished. Mrs. J. E. Gilbert of the bureau of
the east central states submitted a
lengthy report. She said:
"We come again to our society

loving service. Kach worker in the
diversity of her labor has pressed
toward the ideal destiny for each indi
vidual youth that seeks our hand of
friendship and heart of love.

We urge them into quietment of
manner, dignity of character and thor
oughness of preparation in the use of
well sharpened tools lelieving that
every power will be offered an oppor
tunity. The feet of their race niut
speed along the highway of skilled
labor, the tongue touched that it may
hold fast to bound wordii while eyes
shall not desire the bread of idleness
because the hands are ever doing with
their might. All stones have not been
removed nor rough places made
smooth. We have ever seen the 'Here
after in the now' when out of the frag
ments of a broken, disappointment and
aimless humanity there ehall come
forth a womanhood full of truth and
of much virtue as to decide race
morals."

Deaconess" Day.
Friday will be Ieaconess' day, and
an interesting program has been ar
ranged. It is but 1 little over four years since
the M. K. church adopted the order of
leacou-tfea among us workers. The
work has increased so rapidly and has
been received with such favor by the
people that they n w have twenty
seven Heaconesa homes aud over '260
deaconesses.
Of these homes the Woman's home
niis-ionary society has in affiliation
with it eleven homes at Ha timore,
Brooklyn, Buffalo, HeaMoi nes, Petroit,
(rand Kapids, I'hiladeiphia, l'ittsburg,
San Francisco, Syracuse and Washing
ton. The central home and training
school is the Lucy Webb Hayes mem
orial deaconess home and lLble school
at Washington, of which Dr. I. N.
Iolhy is the superintendent. The
importance of this work is such that
the Woman's home missionary society
has devoted one day to the discussion
of methods of organizing and main
taining Leaconees homes. Thero will
be representatives of boards of trustees
and superintendents of Deaconess
homes who will mako statements as to
the homes.
In the evening there will be a mass
meeting addressed by the liev. Dr.
l'otts, one of the mosti eloquent
speakers in Michigan; the Hcv. Dr. I.
N. Dolby, the general superintendent
of the deaconess work, and others.
Kvery one is cordially invited to at
tend the meeting, one of the nio.st in
teresting and important to be held.

Mrs. Anna Norton a miisionary at
Albuquerque, New Mexico addressed
the evening session on the work in
that territory among tho Spanish. She
recited the difficulties encountered
with the native language and the great
opposition with which they are met
from the people in that isection. By
prayerful and steady work a mission
with a good membership was establish
ed but it is on the dechue for the lack
of money for working facilities. The
children are ready and willing to learn.
The parents are deep in ignorance but
they have kind and susceptible natures.
During vacations many of tho
children rather remain at the mission
than to return to their homes. In sev
eral 'instances parents have been con
verted through their children, who
have attended the mission schools.
Dr. I. N. Dolby, of the Lucy Webb
Hayes Deaconuesa Home, at Washinc
ington, addressed the neetiug brielly
on the work of the deaconesses, and
Mrs. I'.rowne, of Kast Tennessee, a col
ored missionary worker, sang some
jubilee songs, and the meeting ad
journed for the Jreccption at Mrs. Km.

RECEPTION TO THE DELEGATES.
Mrs. bissell Pays a Compliment to the
Home Missionaries.
Last evening Mrs. M. li. Uissoll, assnt
ol by the women of the Division Street
M. K. church, tendered a reception to
tho delegates, visitors and friends of
the Woman's Home Missionary society
at her handsome residence, No. NO
South College avenue. About "00 of
the women and their friends were
present during the evening. Mrs. His

of Indianapolis, Mrs. Dr. Van Andaof
Indianapolis, Mrs. W.J. Aldnch of
Muskegon, Mrs. H. M. Joy, Mrs. O. II.
Wilmarth. Mrs. K. G. Studley and Mrs.
A. M. Gould and received tho guests m
the spacious parlors. The rooms were
handsomely decorated with maiden
hair ferns, roses and chrysanthemums.
Miss Maud Hughes presided at the
harp. Delicious light refreshments
wer served in the dining room, aud at
10:39 tho assembly dispersed.
Careless Custom.
Motormen on the Taylor street and
Wealthy avenue car line have fallen
into an extremely careless custom. At
Kast street, where they switch to make
the return trip, they are in tho habit
of allowing the motor cars to back
down the lull between Wells street and
Lut street with a motornun stand nz
on the rear end of his car. The cars
run down the grade very quietly and
are in danger of running down some
unwary person who attempts to cros
the track.

At last the l!ag on the city hall has

death of Mrs. Hrrr son reached ttie

made to k t it down, I ut the wind w.is
