New York, Sept. 26.—Secretary Whitney came to the democratic nation¬ al committee headquarters, and had a conversation with Col. Brice about the management of the national campaign. Congressman Breckinridge, of Arkan¬ sas, was present at the consultation. Secretary his Whitney withdrawal would not talk of possible He said he from the cabi¬ net. felt confident of Cleve¬ land's election, and that the majority of the popular vote that he had in 1884 would be greatly increased.

I believe large numbers of negroes will vote the democratic ticket in Vir¬ ginia, West Virginia, Arkansas, Louis¬ iana and Georgia, and I may say all the states of the South except, perhaps, felt in Florida. The negro vote will be Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,Ohio, Kansas, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Massa¬ chusetts.

They know that a reduction from 47 per cent, to 43 per cent, is not free trade. They know that a reduction of the tariff does not mean lower wages. They knew that it does mean cheaper provisions and clothing. They do not believe that a high protective tariff is a panacea forall ills that laboring men are heirs to. The action of the democratic party in the re¬ demption of public lands from monopo¬ lies, thereby giving homesteads to the negroes, is another fact which convinces them that their interests are with that party.
