THF DEPARTMENT CLERKS HOPEFUL
Throughout the departments the feeling of
the officials remaining in regard to the re-
suit OF the e'ecti01 on Tuesday is one of con-
ndence that HAYES and Wheeler are the
looming men," 10 the Post Office and In
terror departments to-day several clerks
said they were DESTROYS of gett ting wagers
York.
GONE HOME To VorE-It is safe to estl-
mate that three fOuI tbs of the clerical force
in TIE departments have gone, or are going
home to vote. In the Sixth Auditors office
gone TO their respeo tive states. and 20 more
will leave to night or tomorrow. Colonel
McG1ew, chief of this Office, leaves for Ohio
to- me rrow evening. The clerks renal ming
either have no vote or reside in states which

CoNTRADICrI0N.-EditOr Ese1lin0 Sta +
The Baltimore Gazette says In a special from
this city, "that a prominent German-Amer-
lean, one who has stumped for Hayes, gives
II up, ETC." AS il Enthusiastically points to
me, beg leave TO say that 1 have done
nothing of the kind. On the contrary, 1 feel
confident that we will win; that we will car
~ New York, and that Hay es will be elected
without IL. There seems 70 be q determined
effort to brag Tilden into power. ] eann6..

THE FRANKLIN DUE WITH TwEED-Tne
officials at the Navy department are hourly
expecting dispatches from New York an
Douncipg the arrival OF the U. 9. steamer
Franklin with Tweed on board, al that port.
The average run OF q sailing vessel from the
straits Of Gibraltar to the Atlantic coast Is
tnirty-seven days. The Franklin left Vigo,
Spain, on the 18th OF September. and TO- day
makes Fer thirty. sixth day out. She could
not carry enough coal for such long pas
sage, and consequently depended for the
most part on her sails; still she expected to
use her engines In case OF necessity. Her
arrival a I New York, consequently, cannot
be delayed much longer, unless she encoun-
tered unusually rough weather. After de-
lfveriDg up Tweed to the New York authori-
ties the Franklin will proceed to Norfolk, to
take the place OF the receiving ship Worces.
