| PHILADELPHIA, Nov 1.-The latest news re-
ceived hero finds no cause for changing pievi-
oud predictions AZ to the result. Hartranft will
bc elected by about 10000 majority, unless the
Temperance votc is greatly underestimatcd and
| tho hard times vote gives Porshing an unexpect-
| ell reinforcement OF former Republicans. The
following aro the figures OF tho Republican
State Committee
llartranft's majority in Philadelphia. IA, 900
HIS majority in tho State 1900
iOtil HnaJOrityi ,..........,...,.. lD,UUU
Tho Democrats arc not publicly giving up the
fight in advance, whatever their private convic-
tions may be. They figure out a majority for
Persliing with II readineHs that does credit to
their hopcfulnoHs If not to their Judgment. Tho
following is thor estimate
Porshing's majority in tho State. ........ 90, 900
Loss liariranft's majority in Philadelphia. 5000
Pershing's net majority ty..............12 .12, 900
II tho usually safe rnlo of splitting the differ
ence between tho calculations of the two parties
be followed, Hartranft is suro OF n small ma or
ity. The estimates of the Democrats are, how
ever more Inflated than those of tho Republic
that Pershng will como to tho city with any ma
iority at all, and Hartranft's majority hero will
TO all appearances, roach IL, 600. The most care
ful estimates, made by mon whose Judgment is
not biased by partisan feeling makes tho CON
test outside the city an equal one, and elects
liartranft by Whatever majority Philadelphia
gives him.
Special Dispatch 10 tie Nep York Iimes
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-The election prospects
remain unchanged, unless tho stormy weather
which has come tonight shall continue to-nor-
row. Tho result will probably be sufficiently as
certained by II or 10 o'clock. II Philadelphia
and Allegheny County fulfill Republican expec-
tations llartranft's election will be sufficiently
determined. II Allegheny county should give
but small majority it may be necessary to tako
into account returns from few other points in
the State before declaring the result. All tie
returns will be compared with the vote for Lieu
tenant Governor last year.
The pool-rooms tonight were crowded and
betting was lively. The sporting men conceded
only be procured by allowing long odds to the
Democrats who invested. At Oscar Wilson's
pools were sold at $780, to s75, and $50, that
Hartranft would receive l5,000 majority i'll the
State, and $50 to I6D that Hartranft would carry
a majority of the counties. Frequent bets were
made that Rawle would receive $4,000 in tile
State. On the Philadelphia local ticket pools
sold at 300 to 40 that Judge Biddle would re-
ceive 15,0OU majority Geu Bingham, Repub-
llcan, for Quarter Sessions Clerk, against whom
thore Is slight oppositon sold the favorte ut
$40 to f55 against Mr.. Henry =. Hagert. Tho
betting was greatly cut up, the Democrats on
deavoring to hedge, AZ many present were
known to have staked large sums on tho success
OF their ticket before the Ohio election,
WHAT THEY THINR IN WASHINGTON.
WAsurNdroN, Nov. 1.-The star this evening
Gays that private dispatches from Republican
Sources received in Washington, Indicate that
there will be peaceful election III Mississippi
tomorrow. and that tho Conservatives will prob
ably secure tho Legislature and a majority OF
the Six members OF Congress to DO elected. AT
the rooms OF the Republican Congressional
Committee tonight there is great confidence
that Hartranft will be elected in Pennsylvania,
and that the Democrats will DO defeated by
decided majority in Maryland. The best advices
from New York load tho officers OF the Commit
toe to believe that while the Democratic majori-
ty will be much reduced, the chances Of the Re-
publicans carrying the State arc not very good.
Advices from Wisconsin indicate IL Republican
SUCCESS.
THE OUTLOOK FROM HARRIeDURd.
HARRIeBURG, Nov. 1.-The feeling within tho
past few days has grown very strong that Hart
ranft will carry the State from 10000 to 81, 900
ma ority. have myself visited nearly all the
counties in the State, and | feel confident in
claiming for Hartranft good round ma jority of
$4,000. The Pershng and Piolott stock is 1un-
ming very low, and IN many of the mining towns,
whore tho Democrats expected to bring out
strong vote, our Republican friends who have
visited them havo made a great impression -
