Nearly two hundred thousand soles
have already been raised, and a
commission has been sent to
Europe to negotiate the purchase
of the new ironclad. The Ministry,
in order to give the President an
opportunity to choose new advisors,
resigned en- masse, but their resig-
nation was not accepted, and in

Opinions OR she Result.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Politics fill
the papers as che day of election
approaches. The Projectors are on
hand this morning, and the follow
ing represents their best judg-
ments:
The World says: Of the result
tomorrow three things can be pre-
dicted with certainty. First-That
If Robinson is elected, no Tam
many delegation will ever see the
inside Of National or State Con-
vention again, unless from the gall
l.ry as non participating spectators.
Second-That IL Robinson ia de-
feated the same thing will happen.
Third-That the Tammany alliance
will cost the Republican party In
the Presidential contest next year
100000 votes. The World has no
doubt of the triumphant reelection
of Robinson by q handsome major
ity, and the Tribune is equally GER
tain,that Cornell will be successful.
The Herald prints two tables,
which 1t calls Republican Esti.
mate" and democratic Esti-
mate" According to the former,
Cornell is to have $500 majority,
and according to the latter Robin
son will have l1,0U0. Both sides
estimate Robinson's majority in
the city at from $4,000 TO $4,000,
and in Kings $1,000. The calcula-
tions are based on the supposition
that 5000 votes will be cast. 1t
is also estimated on the Cornell
side that Kelly will receive 10000
votes In the whole State.
The Sun elects Robinson by over
10000, and q correspondent of that
journal gives Kelly in the city 81
900, and estimates the Republican
scratchers here at 5000.
The careful Times gives no fig
ures, but remarks: 1t is well to adj
nit frankly that which Intelligent
observers on both sides privately
concede. To-morrow's contest in
this State will be more evenly bal
auced than Republicans or Demo-
Gratis have hitherto deemed proba-
BILE. AT the outset the Republican
managers were inclined to take too
much for granted. They expected
to achieve an easy victory as the
consequence of a split in the DEM
ocratic ranks; but the split proves
to be temporary affair.
San Frane,seo's AZ ceptson of GRANT
The San says: San Franciscans
appear to have found the Grant en-
tertainment a good commercial
speculation. Millionaires Embossed
purse-strings which had been strin-
gent for years, and for a few days
money flowed as freely and as law
ishly as in the flush times before
the panic. The Mock Report says
that $5,000,000 would not represent
the value of dresses worn at the
Croker reception. The wine con-
sumed must have also reached a
figure high enough to appal the alb
