Fitch Indorsed by Tammany for Re election to Congress
Ashbel P. Fitch receives Tammany support for another Congress term. The contest outcome will likely settle if he misrepresented his constituents amid Republican charges. Jay Gould shows mixed enthusiasm in GOP politics after a 1884 donation controversy, yet backs Erhardt for New York Mayor. Connecticut outlook suggests Cleveland carries the state, with both parties unlikely to win the popular statewide ticket. The Legislature is expected to remain Republican and elect Republican state ticket candidates.
