THE STATE CERTAIN TO GO FOR TIL
DEN AND HENDRICKS.
Lavish Expenditure of Money by the Repub-
licans Why the Election for Governor
May be Thrown into the Legislature.


HARTroRD, Nov. 4.-The State is Demo-
cratic throughout and can be diverted only by
the most extraordinary appliancea,which the He-
puOlicaus 10 not evidently possess. That money
has been and will bo largely used nave no
DOUBT, but the odds are too great to be over
come even by lavish expenditures. The trouble
with the campaign on the part Of the Republl-
can managers h,s been that tho men who have
been placed at the head do not have the conn-
dcnce of the largely respectable portion Of tho
party. The State Committee is denounced pub
hcly by Influential men as being conducted sole
ly In the interest OF a scheming and corrupt
Ring. OF which the Sperrys, and Jewels and
kolioggs. are notably conspicuous. II Ia ? Id

party subscriptions from among the large class
OF heretofore prodigal givers who have become
disgustel with the personal conduct OF the
canvass, and do not feel Ike trusting their
money into the hands held out to receive II; vet
considerable sums have been raised, no doubt,
End I, IL currents reported that much OF II las
teen held on to with view to throw 1t sudden

The Den ocrats, however. are advised of every
movement Of their adyeIsaries, aud even are in
possession of letters written oonndeutlally 10

Republican state Committee.

Governor. viii 70 out of that city with from
1900 to 25OO. the majority on tho electoral tsket
being DrOpOrtiUDately larger. There are reasons
for believing that tho result will not bear out
this confident prediction. The gre enbnck vote
