with more than usual interest, and excitement
and parttsansnip run very nigh. The democrats
were betting last evening on majority OF 900 for
Samuel j. Tilden in Kings county, ana IL must be
acknowledged that such bets found plenty OF
takers. There are four tickets In the neld-L e.,

THE GERMAN ORGANIZATIONS.

Final Preparations for tho Contest
Agatnst Tammany To-Day.
The presidents. onicers and representatives OF
the German vocal ana musical societies. the rife
associations and other German civic organizations
held another meeting at the Germania Assembly
Rooms yesterday to complete the arrangements
for active campaign In behalf or the Ottendorfer
and Jones anttTammany county ticket to-day.
Peter Ohmeis OF the Beethoven Maennerchor, pre-
sided, and several committees, to arrange the de-
tails, the distribution OF tickets &c, were formed:
An executive committee was formed, composed
OF the representatives OF the Ari0n, LederKranz,
the Fifth regiment and eighteen Of the leading
German organizations and stirring appeal has
been addressed TO the members OF the numerous
vocal and musical societies, the benevolent
societies, lodges and rife organizations, calling
on them to concentrate their vote on the Often
dorfer Ant-Tanlmany county ticket. Ten thousand
tickets We're received from the German Citizens
Central Campaign Organization for distribution
among the various German organizations, and all
concerned In the movement appeared TO be con-
fdent OF the success OF the German Anti Tammany
movement at the polls to-day.
The numerous German clubs and organizations
which, during the campaign, have been active IN
the ant-Tammany movement. were busy yester-
day In making the final arrangements for the
contest to-day, and 1t Is said thar many OF the
German republicans will vote for Ottendorfer
while remaining faithful to the rest OF the repub-
llcan ticket In order TO accommodate the re-.
publican voters on this point, II is said large
quantities OF republican tickets, with Ottendorler's
name inserted for Mayor, In place OF Wales, have
been printed and distributed.

THE EVE OF BATTLE.
The Outlook for the Election To-Day
All Quiet Along the Line.


Last night the local political organizations had
their hands full or WORK. In the contested dis
tricts, especially in the Nineteenth, where there
Is little dlficulty between the regular democratic
nominee and an irregular candidate, the chances
were declared to be IN favor OF the irregular.
"Stralght Tammany or no rations ~ IA vote for
Deerlng IS vote for Morpanr' are among the
election cries in the district.
The city last night was not full of local demon.
strations as it under similar circumstances usually
Is. The prevailing impression at the democratic
headquarters that the city would be carried for
Tilden by 5000 majority and that Hayes would be
elected Register by 5000 TO 10000 majority. The
difficulties among the democrats in the Sixteenth
and Eighteenth districts were settled last night
as twas generally expected they would be- but this
fact appears to have made the "regulars" all the
more determined to leave no stone unturned in
order to beat their opponents. The election OF
Wickham IS now conceded upon all sides, and the
republican leaders last night seemed to
have given mp all hope OF Wales success.
however, they said they would make good fight
anyhow, and the Republican Executive Commit
tee gave it out that the rumor that they were
parties to any arrangement looking toward the
selling OF the Legislature at the expense OF the
election OF the republican candidate for Governor
was untrue.
There was not so much enthusiasm on cit her
side as might have been expected on the
EVE OF THE ELECTION.
There were no bands OF music. In fact, there
were no especial demonstrations anywhere.
The general opinion seemed to be that
the democrats were sure to win, and there
was nothing more to be said about 1t. twas an
nounced that those who opposed the regular
democratic nominees woud be ta0ooed In the
future operations Of the organization This will
have the effect, 1t is said, of making some OF the
boilers return to the fold to-day.
In all the districts the workers were as busy as
bees, and although the excitement ran high in
the Sixteenth and one or two other Of the dis
trlcts where the democratic '.reDelsn have been
making strong demonstrations all along the line
for weeks past there was no disorder or fighting
OF a serious character, and the indications all
pointed to quiet and orderly election to-day.

POOL SELLING.

The speculation yesterday afternoon at the Astor
House was not very extensive as all the moneyed
men appeared to be little shy, as II they thought
there might be some new development within the
next twenty-four hours that would effect the
market Underwood was on hand, and with
his usual suave and ducet tones invited the ven-
turesome to put up their dollars but the labor was
painful, as, after thirty minutes hard labor, the
Doctor had to take brandy punch in order to
keep his voice. Finally bidder was heard, and
after little diflculty the Doctor succeeded in
booking bet OF $500 even on Tldens gaining
10000 majority. This appeared TO give an impetus
to business and presently two gentlemen, through
the assistance OF the auctioneer, agreed to put
up to the tune Of 500 to $40 on Hayes against
Jones. That bet was repeated on two different
occasions, and then little more money was in
vested on Tiden carrying the state by 10000 ma
jority. trine was also invested at evens be-
tween Hayes and JONES' giving the former 1000
majority. The larger portion OF the investments
appeared to be confined to the Guoelnatorial can
didates. and on that issue several thousands were
put up on Tilden carrying the State by 10000 ma
jority.
In the evening the tide Of speculation drlfted up
town, and, calling first at Underwood's, business
was found brisk. The Doctor was In good humor,
and when he could not sell q pool to suit q
purchaser he let him Off with q slice OF
his wit. On one occasion . nice looking
young man, with black mutton chop whiskers,
bid $50 for Jones, and Notwithstanding all the
efforts ne could only get 50 for Hayes. At last
the Doctor came out:-"Only 50 for Jimmy Hayes

IRvING HALL
The independent democrats were very active
yesterday at their headquarters at Irving Hall.
In the evening all was quiet there In consequence
OF this organization having, like its opponents,
sent It's workers to their respective Assembly dis.
trtcts. Tuere was considerable confidence ex-
pressed in the certainty OF Mr.. Ottendorlers elec
uon for Mayor, based upon the fact that the Ger
man vote, with the exception OF the Roman
Catholic part OF IT, would all be In hia iavor. An
incident was related IN the committee room which
seemed TO strengthen this supposltion. II was
said that during the day q vote for Mayor had
been taken at Steinwav's pianoforte factory.
There are TOO votes there and on the count 1t was
found that all but nve were for OttendOrier.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BALLOTS.
The Republican General Committee have issued
instructions for the provision OF ballots for voting
upon the constitutional amendments which will
be found to-day at every booth throughout the

merchants nave personally attended to securing
an abundance OF ballots IN their own immediate
