The Prospects In New York Tomorrow
The Republicans More Confident
than the Democrats.
Theinterestin the result OF to.morrow's
elections centres very largely on the re.
suit in the great State of New York-the
Empire State Of the Union. 1t is felt that
iISew York gives a clear and clean ma.
jOrity for the Republican ticket-the
whole ticket-the contest OF next year for
the Presidency will be at least three
fOurths won. On the other hand, II only
Cornell, the head OF the Republican ticket,
should DO elected, it will show that the
two wings Of the divided Democracy, II
united in a Presidential contest, can carry
The State, and therefore the Democracy
will still retain their hopes Of success next
year. The present outlook is that Cornell
will be elected by reason OF Kelly's can.
didaCy, il for no other reason, although
Harpcr's Weekly has opposed Cornell, and
advised Republicans to scratch him, be-
cause he is a machine" candidate and
not the choice Of the State OF New York.
But the feeling runs so high at this time,
and Republicans are SO well convinced ot
the National importance of the result,
That they are not likely to follow the ad-
vice of the Weekly to any great extent.
Robinson, the present Democratic Gov.
smOr, is highly respected in New York by
men OF all parties. He is generally spoken
Of as good officer, and the fact that he
has dared 10 provoke the wrath OF Tam
many Is considered greatly to his credit,
Tammany is the worst and most powerful
political machine in the country, and is
run in the interest OF the spoils Of office
in New York City. John Kelly is at
present its head man and representative,
and the issue between him and Robinson
is largely personal. He is opposed to
Robinson and to Robinson's reputed
hacker, Tilden, and is making the fight
against both Of them. Kelley was opposed
TO Tilden's nomination in 1875, and is at
much opposed to him now as at that time
Ills strength is in the Irish vote in New
York, Brooklyn, Albany, Buffalo and The
smaller cities. II he can poll $4,000 votes
he can defeat Robinson, and he is counted
on for that many.
The Cincinnati Gd:etle claims to have
private and trustworthy assurances from
New York that Cornell will be elected BY
majority running from 10000 to 10000
and George Alfred Townsend, who Il
well posted, telegraphs to yesterday
Cincinnati Enquirer that, in his opinion
Kelly will poll nearly or quite 6oOOI
votes. He also quotes Geo. A. Sheridan
who has stumped the State with Blaine
as expressing himself as follows:
at looks to me as II the Ohio election
woOld be repeated here. The prosperity
Of New York is the same as 0hio's
Cheese, the typical staple here, is boom
