The Politicians Hard Mt Work In the
Districts.
The near approach OF the day OF election Is hav.
ing very lively effect upon the workers Of both
parties, and NOT only the warl MANAGERS. but the
big bosses themselves, are now rolling up their
sleeves and going to work in dead earnest. From
this out there will be no such thing as rest for
either side, and, Judging from the thorough search
being prosecuted in every election district Tor
every voters room and number, the inquiries that
are being made alter the health or the bedridden,
and the hopes that are expressed for the speedy
recovery OF John and jim and many like them,
who have been laid up for repairs ever since
they had little argument and agreed to
disagree about the candidates OF their choice.
Next Tuesday will be busy day Tor the candl-
dates. In some OF the downtown districts arrange
ments have actually been made, and VIII be lalth-
1uly carried out, whereby the old and the sick
will be carried to the polls on stretchers II neceS
sary. Indeed, there has not been displayed in
many years one-hali the activity among the rank
and file not only, but among those voters who DO
not as general thing take any very great inter-
est In politics, Us there has been during the past
few days In the various DISTRICTS ana the indica.
tlons give promise that the vote viii approach
will hin 1t least live thousand nearer to the iull
registration than ever before. The democrats OF
the Tammany order aud the republicans, TOO.
are quite ubilant over this outlook, ana each side
argues that the result will De in lavor OF q

followers. 1t is pretty certain that the aniI-iam-

activity among the regulars OF
THE WI1WAM CAMP
as well as among the republicans, and there are
those VINO believe taat the two regular opposing
tickets Will poll very much larger vote than they
would have had there been no independents

Is generally an acknowledged TACT IN political
circles that there ras not been any serious de-
lection from the republican ranks, and that Wales
will get TIE iull voe oi The party. Yet. incon.
sstent as 1t Is, those who put faith in
the German republicans should persist IN going

next Tuesday They conend that the dodge played
upon some well meaning but tmur0uS democrats
two years ago cannot be used again this year to
draw democratic nsh to tac republican net. Then
were certain few days before election that Law
renee would be elected. and 1t turned out that the
republicans were also; for on the sunday previous
to the election they started the story that. unless
Havemeyer received support from reform demo
Gratis, O'Brien was sure OF election. The dodge

would be the result OF their "scaren-the election

Harlem River but once in twenty years. Yester-

was now certain Of polling n very heavy vote by
reason OF the deicctions IN some of the Tammany
districts. and as that would make Wickham

democrats could do who don't want

Wales, In fact, would not poll over So 900 votes,
owing to the bolt OF the German republicans.
AS to minor matters concerning the coming con-
test, there were rumors yesterday that the name
oil Magnus Gross would DC scratched ron the AL
dermen-at-Large by ali the German democrats who
vote the Tammany ticket, and that they intended
to put Frederick Kuhne's name In its stead. Inc
name OF J. William Guntzer IL was SAID, was to be
run by some OF the Independents on Their ticket
In lieu OF Beatty. The contest between Hewitt and
O'Bren for Congress in the Tenth District is get
ting very exciting, but Hewitt seems be steadily
gaining, the prevalent opinion of the knowing
ones being tnat what U'Bfen will gain in the Six
teenth and Eighteenth Assembly districts ne will
lose in the Twentieth and twenty first Assembly
districts.
THE TWO STATE COMMITTEES
were quite busy yesterday especially Ex-Governor
Morgan. The answers to the circulars the Gle ks
have been busy recording during the week turn
out TO be replies TO eight Ques ions pr0pOunded In
letter signed by "E. d. Morgan under date OF
17th instant -four OF the questions are rather pc
cullar. and VIII doubtless DC ediiylng to democrats
geherally:-
What is your estimate Of the result in your election
How many liberals are there who will vote ticketf
How many men, formerly democrats and liberals, do
you know OF " no will vote our ticketf
Are there many democrats who Will refuse 10 votef
The members OF the Democratic State Commit
tee say that all the news they get from the coun.
try is good news, and tnat they have heard during
the week from every county.
