New YORK, November 1.-The San Fran

both States the Morey letter has been work.

vada the fight is seemingly in favor Of
Fair tDemocrat for senator, and should

largely due TO the influence OF John
W. Mackey, who is reported to be
Iaboring 10 that end. Both in Nevada md
California the Democrats are thoroughly
entbused. The Concord IN. H. correspOu-
dent OF the Herald teIegrdphs that the Re-
publcans are in some danger OF losing New
Hampshire. The Tribune says that all the
probabilities favor Republican success in
York State tomorrow, but when 100000
votes are likely to be poled. and change
OF only one vote in 100 might turn the scale,
there ought TO be the most vIgilant and
thorough work to the very end. The same
conditions apply to New Jersey and Con-
necticut. The WOrid says that nearly
200. 600 voters in this city and nearly
12O. 900 voters in Brooklyn will probably
appear at the polls tomorrow. OF these
3oe. 900 voters OF the metropolitan dis
trict at least 100000 may be confidently eX-
nectcd TO vote for General Hancock. The
total OF the metropolitan vote will equal the
vote OF Maine, OF Vermont, and OF Rhode
Island all put together. A majority of So
600 in New York and Brooklyn for General
Hancock will assure the State and the pres
idential election TO the Democratic party,
according to the WOrid. In this city the
registration and estimated vote show all
average OF 800 voters 10 each OF the 67S
election precincts. TO get the votes OF
these voters all in will require one vote tC
