STATE POLITICS.

Tho Republicans Aroused TO Astonish-
ing Enthusinsm-A General Canvass
OF the State-Probablo Democratic
Gains In Congress and the Assembly.
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. q 1874.
Only within the past few days have the repub-
ucans become properly aroused to the perils Of
their party in the election tomorrow. The demo-
Gratis have had for several weeks the start, and
the tnoroughness OF the canvass on the demo-
cratic side Is evident everywhere from here to
Buffalo. The apathy l norlced among repub-
ncans in twenty different places less than one
week ago has given way to absolute enthusiasm.
Advices received this evening from various parts
of the State-west, northwest ana south-seem to
convince many that to-morrow's sun will set on
REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
In Buffalo I1lden Is ahead in the pools; in
Rochester Dix: In Syracuse Dix; in Elmra DIX;
in Troy Tilden; IN Utica Dix, and in Albany Til
den. The democrats are wild over the majorities
they hope to have. Smith, OF the argus, talks con-
hdently OF 10000. Ten Eyck, OF the Journal ex-
poets none Of the old time republican majorities,
but ne is Dix win win by not less than 10000.
Rooerts, or the Utica Herald is not sanguine as
other republican editors. He believes Dix ought
10 win, but he thinks there Is no telling exactly
the upsh0t OF o canvass like this. Bailey, OF the
Utica Observer, is wild with delight over the an.
tcipated big victory for the democracy. On the
whole there is vast deal Of blun' this evening
on the part OF the democrats. 1t worked well q
week ago, but al accounts indicate
SUDDEN AND STARTLING vIGoR

days. tomorrow be nne far larger republican
vote will be poed than most people expect

well. They less afraid OF Dix than Of Tlden; OF
q democratic than OF republican Legislature. At
the eleventh hour they have resolved to choose
the lesser of two evils and vote for DIX. Ninety
thousand out OF
HUNDRED THOUSAND TEMPERANCE VOTES
suddenly turned about and thrown for Dix Will up
set q fond democratic calculation. In regard to
the Legislature the best informed republicans are
agreed that a reduction on the majority of last
year In the Assembly is inevitable. From all
can gather at this moment the Assembly is likely
to be democratic by from three to four majority i
have satisfied myself that seven Assembymen will
be lost to the republicans and credited to the
democratic strength OF last year. which was fifty
four against seventy-four republicans. Tonight
learn that five other districts are in doubt
one III Chenango, two In Oneida, one In Chemung
and one in Montgomery, and all expected to re-
turn democratic members. This would make q
loss Of twelve to the republican side and give the
democrats majority Of four in the Assembly. In
this case the vote on Joint ballot In the
ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR
would prove tie, and then the Lieutenant Gov
ernor might be OF interest In this county the ODDS
are on the republican candidate (Adams), rs there
are two democrats in the field Quinn and Perry.
Albany tonight Is dreadfully excited over the
struggle The republicans fan the fierce flames
~
hope to see their champion walk in between them.
There is little talk Of the majority on the Governor
ship among the republicans, but everywhe q
quiet conviction that. however small the majority,
1t will De on their side No doubt prevails
Of the expenditure OF considerable money on both
sides in the canvass. The rival journals here are
tremendously bitter this evening Should the
democrats win IT viii DC loss to the Journal OF
100000 and corresponding gain to the Argus.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.
In regard 10 congressman Mr.. Roberts, repub.
lican, OF Utica, good authority, comedies loss OF
four Congressional districts In the State, which
would give the democrats on their present
strength a representation OF twelve members in
Washington.
No man tonight, either democrat or republican,
feels entirely confident Of to-morrow's issue. OLD
politicians here say IL IS nearer to q lottery than
any election which has taken place for years.
ESSEX COUNTY IN ~ POLITICS.
"The situation" in Essex county, New Jersey is
exceedingly interesting. There are nine As.
semblymen to be elected, Congressman,
Sheriff, Register, Surrogate, three Coroners
and Governor. Nothing is talked OF but "the
situation" and beyond question it Is as lively as
interesting. for 1t Is conceded that an immense
deal of scratching will bA done IN sav notninO or
"rrading" and other electioneering processes.
Both parties, on all points, are represented BY
their very best men, each having taken special
pains to put their best foot foremost, so thas ID
any case the county win be satisfactorily
represented. let whoever may win. On Governor
