conclusive, even though judicial
proof of the fact, he states, may be
delayed by Republican trlckery
and corruption until after the cleo
ton.
The Republicans have been in
dustriously spreading throughout
the country the report that they
would carry the State of New York
and that, inasmuch as Hancock
could not be elected without
New York his case was hopeless.
1 have examined the figures pre-.
scented from all sources and am
positive that the Republican clLim
has no foundation in fact. The
State Democratic Committee have
made careful canvass of the en-
tire State north of the Harlem riv.
er and have reports showing q
large increase - over twenty per
cent. over the Democratic majority
of 1876. The lowest Democratic
estimate that 1 have seen, made by
person who Is extremely cautious
and generally too low in his fig
ures, gives the following RESULTS:
Majoritles in Democratic counties,
$3.50; majorities in Republican
counties, 69,200; net Democratic
majority, "a, $50. This allows for
falling off in the Democratic ma.
jorities in Chemung, Columbia
Green, Hamilton, Lewis, Monroe.
Niagara, Orange, Otsego, Queen,
Rensselaer,, Richmond, Rocklind
and the other Democratic counties
of the interior, and ouly an in
crease OF 5000 majority in the city
of New York, in the face of an In
creased registry of $4,000. Looking
at these figures cOolly, comparing
them with the results in 1876, and
bearing in mind that the DemOcra-
cy is absolutely united Throughout
the State in National, State aud
municipal nominations, 1t is i'm.
possible to conceive any foundation
except audacity for the Republican
claim, in the face of the fact that
Notwithstanding the divisions and
indifference of last year, the vote
OF Robinson and Kelly combined
showed large Democratic pre-
pOnderance. 1t is absurd to urge
that the Republicans can carry this
State in this year Of union aud en-
thusiasm. In reply to II request for
accurate and cautious information
as to the canvass in Connecticut,
New Jersey, California, Nevada
aud Colorado, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee received infor.
nation which inspired it with con.
H1nnaa N M nf
those States. New Jersey has
never for moment been consider
ed as otherwise than certain. In
Connecticut the campaign has con-
tinued as enthusiastic AS at the
opening, and all the Democratic
leaders believe that the State 10
safe for Hancock. From Indiana
Hon. VIM. Ii. English telegraphs
that the prospects of now carrying
the State are very good. From
California Mr.. English, of that
State, sends OF in behalf of the
Democratic Committee similar in
formation. The Republican claim
of certain success in any of the
States named above is as iil-found-
ed as those made by them regard
ing the State of New York.
During the Philip case to-day the
Republican counsel attempted to
indulge in political banter at the
expense Of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Brooks, counsel for Philip, re-
torted by ieading the Democratic
platform regarding Chinese immi-
grafton and contrasting its direct,
terse and decisive declarations, "NO
more Chinese immigration except
| for travel, education and foreign
commerce. and even that carefully
guarded" with the indefinite and
unintelligible dodgiug of the sub.
ject by the Republican platform.
James G.. Blaine has telegraphed
to Washington that every govern
ment employee from Maine must
come home to vote or the State Is
lost. Democratic advices from
Ohio report strong reaction in
favor Of the Democracy, especially
among the laboring classes.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30th-There is
absolutely no foundation for the
story circulated so industriously
by the Republicans over the coun.
try regarding the vote of New
York City. All the Democratic Or
CARNATIONS are united In enthusi-
astic support Of Hancock. The best
informed Democrats are confident
that the majority in this city will
not be less than 5000 and proba.

York, Kings, Queens, Richmond
and Suffolk will give a Democratic
majority of $4,000, which will in
sure the electoral vote of this State
for Hancock and his election to the
Presidency.
Mr.. Kelly will publish a card
stating that the story of any ar
rangement with the Republicans
in connection with the nomination
for Mayor is an absolute falsehuod
Mr.. Grace, the nominee of the
united Democracy, was not the
candidate of Tammany, but of the
Democratic organization of Irving
Hall.
The Republicans have issued two
posters about the Garfield Chinese
letter case. In one the following
appears in large type: mo such
man as MOrey ever existed.n The
other states that Philip was con.
victed October 9th OF forging the
Chinese letter. The truth is that
Morey's existence as the agent of
the Employers Union of Lynn has
been clearly proven and it is ad-
mitted by the prosecution in the
Philip case that, 80 far from
any one having been convicted
of forging the Chinese letter, no
one has even been accused of it
