DOUBTFUL STATES AND ESTIMATES AND PRE DICTIONS CONCERNING THEM. Situation Politically in New York, Illinois?, Wisconsin and In ' diana Each is in the Doubtful List Other "-. News. ' Esopus, July 23. The wonder here is how harmony came so sud denly and so completely, out of chaos and division. , Three weeks ago, the outward appearances were that the democratic party was split asunder. A wide chasm yawned between two uncompromising fac tions with neither hope or expecta tion that it : would or could be bridged. Bo h at the St. Louis convention, internecine strife and relentless -war in the democratic ranks seemed to be in store. 1 . But by magic, by fate, by an in spiration otzaemocratic leaders, or else by some unseen,' unknown and unguessable influence, the scene has suddenly shifted, and a complete tidal wave of harmonv in the Dartv ui ucixoreuu uas ecu tu. - vv uotuti lb was the matchless announcement by Judge Parker- in a telegram which was read round the world, a telegram that Mr. Bryan heralded to. 1 . t. ' T1 41 "manly in the man," or whether it was the forbearance and generous yielding by that other matchlees leader, W. J. Bryan, that has sent the current of democracy moving, all in one direction and with a re' sistless sweep, is all uncertain and unexplainable: - but the - fact re mains that never before in the his tory of the Darty, not even in- the tidal wave of 1892, were there 'so many signs of party cohesion, and eo complete absence of- party fric- tior, Over against this,-ia a bitter factional trouble locally among the republicans of the doubtful states, New York, Indiana, Illinois and Wieconsin, for these states are all doubtful, eava New York, which is reasonably certain to be carried' by the democrats by a large majority. In New York the republicau par ty is split in twain. The old Piatt leaders, the wheel horses for the party for many years, have been cast aside to put in new men of Gov. Odell' selection. The veteran sen ior senator has been put on the shelf, and his friends, whose, polit ical features are tied up with his, foresee their fate when Governor Odell names the candidate for gov-' ernor, as he intends to do. Gov. Od ell's plan is to become the junior United states senator, and with a governor of his own choice to elim inate completely the. old Piatt, or ganization, and the practical politi cians who will be displaced by this, procees aie thoroughly conscious of i'. In Illinois the republican party is divided into two factions. The Roosevelt faction favored the nomi nation for governor of Frank O. Lowden and opposed the reoomina tion of Govenor Yates. Governor Yates was not strong enough to se cure his own renomination but he was strong enough to defeat Mr. Lowden and to nominate a friend of his own. Governor Yates and his friends blame Mr. Roosevelt for his failure to be renominated. The Federal patronage was flagrantly used in all directions to accomplish this object and it succeeded. Such things are not soon forgotten. In Wisconsin' the breach is wide. U over nor .La toilette w no bas op posed the corporations and trusts, controlled the republican state convention and renominated him self. The two United States sena tors, Spooner and Quarles, and Con gressman Babcock and the other representatives of Mr. Roosevelt in Wisconsin, bolted the convention and nominated a candidate of their own for governor. . - - The Chicago convention, which was thoroughly controlled by Mr. Roosevelt as his own domestic affairs unanimously sustained the bolters'. In order to try to save the state for Mr. Roosevelt, the bolters' conven tion ratified the electoral ticket put in nomination by the La Follette convention. La Follette electors replied by refusing to allow their names to go on the bolters' . ticket. Under the Wisconsin law which provided for the blanket ballot, be ing in this respect much like the New York law, the same name can not be on the ballot twice, and the voter instead of making one mark lor tne straight ticket mutt make marks in several columns. - " .Every New Yoik , voter knows what the effect of this provision is. Unless the Wieconsin election law be changed or the Wisconsin su preme court makes a new law by its interpretatiou of the present one. Eome of the electors will be in one column and some in ' another col umn, .r' - ,V; ';,..- : In Indiana' there are two repub lican factions, one composed of the oldiimerF, at the head of which' is Senator Fairbanks, republican can didate for vice-president, and the other of the youngsters, who look up to, Senator . Bevendge, word painter from the Wabaeh, as their leader. ' In Indiana the democratic organ ization is now in good condition. In Wisconsin and Illinois the olive branch must be waved, and Mr. Sheehan will do it. On the repub lican side Senator Fairbanks, the great negotiator, will manage the Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana campaigns, - , : -. There are 169 electoral votes of which Judge Parker is reasonably certain. The electoral votes above stated are: "New York, 39; Illi nois, 27: Wisconsin, 14, and Iodi- ana, 15, a total of 84. They were all carried for the democratic ticket in 1892. That would give Judge Parker 253 votes,. or 14 more' than is required, to say nothing of the strong probability of bis carrying New Jersey. Connecticut, Colorado and Idaho'. Judge Parker could lose Illinois and still be an easy winner, or if he carried Illinois he could lose the other debatable etates, Wisconsin and Indiana. This is all on the assumption that Judge Parker carries New York. Without New York he will be defeated. In New York the cam paign will begin at once. It will follow in general the form of organ' ization which Governor Tilden found so successful.- -In the.firet placfe, there will be a thorough, sys tematic organization right down to election district sub-committees. And in the'second place, a persist ant appeal will be made to the great body of conservative, working men, who make up the mass of the vo ters, to choose Judge Parker rather than Mr. Roosevelt, and to base their choice only on the princi ples of the two platforms, which dif fer mainly on imperialism, trusts and the exorbitant t a rift which prompt the extortions of the trusts, but on the character of the two men themselves. On the one hand the spasmodic, emotional, turbulent Roosevelt, on the other the safe, fane and conservative Parker. Chicago, July 24. Emulators o, the exploits of the carbarn banditsf four youths arrested yesterday, con' feesed to killing one man in a ba- loon and holding up and robbing a score 01 others at different times The murder was that of John Lane, stage carpenter of the Illinois thea tre, who was shot in an attempt to hold up Gustav Riegel's saloon on the morning of July 4.

INGS WITH THEM. : Action at Stockyards Creates Scenes of Disorder Verging on Riot Police Are Called Causes Wild Excitement - Other News. - Chicago, Joly 22. Not only is the strike of packing house employ es on again, but it threatens to grow into a walkout of even greater proportions than before apprehend ed.. President Donnelly this morn ing ordered all men to quit work because of alleged discrimination against members of the teamsters and mechanical trades unions to join. Tbis morning between 15.UUU and 20,000 butchers who had been out on strike, went to the stock yards and reported for work at the various packmg plants. All , ap peared overjoyed at the probability of a quick adjustment and end of what bad promised to be a lengthy war. To their dismay they found that only a few were to be taken back. For a time they hovered a round the yards, without, however, offering any violence to the work ers. ' '- ' :''' . It was decided to call a meeting of the men in a. designated place and as a result of this gathering a committee was appointed to wait upon the packing house managers and demand reinstatement without discrimination. Regardless of the threatening as pect 01 the situation tne managers refused even to grant a hearing of the committee and ordered them back to the lines where they could be cille'd upon if wanted. The men, lufunated at the manager s action, marched away in a body. In ' the meantime those of theua who had been selected by the foreman had entered the plants and, unaware of their fellow unionists' predicament, entered upon their work. The men who had been turned away repaired to the union Head quarters and laid their case before President Donnelly, lie tried to get bo me satisfaction from the pack in g house managers over the tele phone, but was given curt answers and immediately issued an official order calling all the men out. Resolved that no half-way meas ures would be adopted he followed the local call by sending the follow ing telegram to all packing centers in the country: "Order men out today m all de partments." .b'rom many outside cities came telegrams demanding to know why this action was taken and Donnelly replied to each that the sole cause was that the packers had violated their agreement by showing a de cided discrimination in the rein stating of the strikers. W ben tne order was received in the plants the wildest excitement prevailed and from the doors of the packing plants and out into the stockyards came an angry army of men shouting, swearing and indulg ing in the first violent talk since the trouble began. Many ot the workmen were so amazed at the turn of affairs that they had not gone to the changing rooms, but appeared carrying their street garb over their arms, and dinner pails in hands and stood around in groups diseussing the latest phase. For a time it seemed that rioting would follow the walkout and hur ried calls were made for extra po lice. Bsfore any conflict could oc cur, however, messengers from Don nelly sped through the crowds be seeching the men to leave the vicin ity of the plants and offer no vio lence or resistance to the police, who had by this time began to ap pear in squads. The strikers sul lenly obeyed. T The new strike places the pack ers in a worse plight than ever, for practically all the non-union men left last night fearing to face the re turned strikers. The packers immediately- com plained to Donnelly, who said: "Ihe superintendents of the va rious plants walked in among our men and picked out a few who they felt assured were friendly to them. The rest they ignored. "At Armour's, Nicholas Goer, president of the Packing .Trades Council, was passed by four times At Swift 'r Foreman Murphy was ignored. PiThe Anglo-American plant rejirstated only ten men and Nelson looms bat four. ' It was a clear case of . discrimination and vi olation of agreement and a bold at tempt to disrupt the union. I had no recourse but to order another strike." Donnelly this forenoon called ud en President Golden tp bring out the Teamsters' union and the me chanical trades will also be called out, involving about 100,000 men. and will effectually tie up the meat industry of the United States. In Kansas City nearly all of the 6,000 members of the meat cutters struck again at noon today. Cheers -greeted the order to resume the strike. .-:; The vast majority of .'strikers did not get back their old places this morning when they applied for , work, but were to d tbere were - no places. open for them. All the packing huu-e employes in St. Paul and Omaha cities walked out this morning. There was no disorder. : . Elkins, W. Va., July 15. Hen - ry Cassa way Davis, democratic can- ' didate for Vice-president, got up ' this morning at 6:30 o'olock after a restful sleep of eight hours - and ate, a breakfast that made his secretary, who is about 29, feel like an inval id. Then, putting on his long boots and taking his broad-brimmed farm hat, be set out for a brisk walk a cross the lawns of "Graceland," , as his palatial home back of Elkins is called. He made his way to the fields, where already the men were opening haycocks in expectation of a good haj day. Mr. Davis is an energetic farmer as well as a man of affairs, and the fifteen men on . the broad estate know that his quick eye sees every thing. ' . , The first ona of the farm hands to eee him coming was the old dar ky, Abram Turner, bent double with the load of j ears. Turner ia the gaidener, and his pno idol in ' this world ir "Massa Davis." Tur ner is a hot republican, but when the news ot the nomination of Mr. " Davis reached him he threw 7 down his rake and exclaimed: V Now am de day of. jubilee. and dis old darky is goin' fob to throw his first democratic ticket." and the old negro picked a great armful of Maryland roses and ' spread them across the piazza - of Graceland through which Mr. Da vis must pass in entering his house. When Turner saw him coming into the field this morning he set up a shout, and the men, white and black, gathered around the athlet ic figure of the wonderful old man and shook his hand. "It affected me more," said Mr. Davis to a World reporter tonight, "than all the congratulations I have received. I suppose you will smile when I tell you, but the greatest pleasure that I have felt since they woke me in my car at Grafton at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and told 1 me that I had been nominated for vice-president was when my sweet, eleven-year-old motherless grand daughter, Katherine Brown, who lives with me, came running across the lawn to meet me, with her arms -outstretched to give me her usual hug. " 'I knew you would be nominat ed,' she said, and this was the more surprising to me, because I bad not dreamed of being chosen. She is a sweet little girl,, with her mothers brown hair ahd eyes. Her mother, you know, is dead," and across the handsome, kindly face of the man swept the first light shadow during the hour he bad been talking with the reported. If I had known this was com ing," he said, "I might have been ready with some plans for the cam paign. But I did not know it, so I have no plans as yet. 1 have been in telegraphic communication with Mr. Hill and Mr. bheehan today and shall go to New York in a week or eo for a conference. "I have been receiving eo many telegrams of congratulation today that I haven't had time to read them all. Judge Parker telegraph ed me. this morning in a very splendid way. Other telegrams came from Bar Harbor, Poland Springs. Me.,' where ex-Governor E. E. Jackson of Maryland, is; from Seattle, Wash., from England, from France, and one from Germa ny, where my daughter, Mrs. El kins, is at Bad-Nauheim.
