to expect that Maryland will bo republican
Thero nro indications of a breaking up in tho

Havent tho Now York democrats holpod

Immensely Tho courso of tho domocrntio
legislature at Albany last winter has gono a
long wny toward making tho succoss of tho
ropubllcan party certain That legislature
Increased tho taxes greatly for ouo thing
and that appeals directly to tho farmers
especially Then Cleveland has not mado
a success of It Ho has had no control of
affairs even if his inclination was good I
nm inclined to think that ho wanted to do
right but if so ho is very weak man Tho
prominent republican nowspapcrs which woro
dissatisfied and helped to defeat us lost year
seem disposed to help us win

Will ho bo tho choico ot his own stato in

I cant toll what may take placo botweon

Will Butlor bo tho demoeratio candidate
Ho will bo tho demoeratio eaudidato fur
govoruorof Massachusetts will bo defeated

pretty difficult to predict who will bo tho
democratiet candidate for president but 1
nm well satisfied that Samuel J Tllden is ou

Will ho bo elected
Unless tho demoeratio houso docs better
