IlhOM STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE.
NEw-IiAvEN, Nov. 4-Within the last two or
three days the Republicans have become more hope
full Of carrying the State and there is good reason
for believing that the Democratic managers have
discovered in that time equally good reason for
anxiety if not alarm. In the interior and among the
country towns the Republicans seem to have pulled
themselves together for squirt Ofenthusastic and
hearty work during the last week of the campaign,
and the erect has been to inspire the whole party
with new courage and strong hopes of success.
In the large cities, Ncw-IIaven, Hartford, and
Norwich, the Democrats OH the other hand
have been discovering that their early
expectations Of an easy victory based
upon false estimates and that more careful surveys
Of the field reveal condition Of affairs which does
not warrant undue cxultation. Here in New-Iaycn,
where they have been counting upon majority
ranging anywhere from 1000 t. $500. and where
the Republicans have conceded them 1.5j0, it is
said that they have lowered their figures vcTy con-
sideraby and would now he quite satisfied If they
could be assured the 1900 majority which at an
earlier period their opponents conceded them. In
less they pnt forth the most desperate ciorts-and
by that mean unless they can bring large sums Of
money into the canvass before tuesday, am
surcd by persons familiar with the situation and
competent to judge that they cannot 90 ont OF the
city moro than 1900 ahead. Should the RepUb
leans succeed n keeping the majority down to these
figures think there is 10 doubt they will carry the
State by q fair majority and give the six electoral
votes to lIayc, and Wheeler.
II may De that forcwarncd is in this case fore
armed, and that tie Democratic managers, knowing
the danger viii be able 10 avert il. There is
doubt that they have already taken energetic action,
and are still AZ worl, to change the current and
regain lost ground Their dependence, of course is

aaI heroic form OF the Mule Buyer appears upon the
stage. and Mr. William II. Barnum becomes a very
important factor ia the problem. Mr. Baruum is
reported to lave said with some disfinctu,ss, at

carried any how, and that Le meant to eject Tom
