NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The nomination OF Mr.
DOwd for mayor is well received by the repub.
licans, but the fact that he is stalWart has re-
democratic strength that for several days has
been expected. This. Notwithstanding the
nt tarDesS OF election day, leaves the Germans
and Irish democrats, besides many independ-
ents. in position OF nursing complaints that are
very liable TO find vent through The nomination
Of third and Independent candidate. They
want 10 vote for Hancock, but have taken issue
ln local affairs with the regular d.m0cratlc
nomination of Grace for mayor. They are
therefore snubbed by the regular democratic

workers from Grace'S election. The republicans.
who could not otherwise eject Dowd, encourage
this disat1eclion. in the hope that a third can

The position Of local political affairs now is
that the Independent democrats seem determ-

TO the OPPOSITE IN to Grace is that Truax, the
democratic nominee for judge. has already been
handicapped by terribly bad record that Will
undoubtedly defeat him and Will also carry
thousands OF votes from Grace. No steps have
yet been taken IN this matter beyond an ear
nest discussion, which promises TO assume tan
gibie shape.
Estimates from both parties are coming IN
rapidly to both political headquarters The
canvass OF the democrats in regard TO New York
state predicts for them majority OF $1,000 this
cans GOO majority in the remainder Of the
state. The republican canvass give the demo-
Gratis $4,000 up TO Harlem river and gives the
republicans in remainder OF the state from
10000 to 1000 majority. Thus the repuOM
cans claim 5000 TO $4,000 majority, while rha
democrats claim 10000 In the state Roscoe
Conkltpg Claims so 600.
New Jersey Is also heard fro6h. The canvass
there is based principally on Essex and Hud son
counties, which Offset each other; the remain
der of state being close. and each party claim
ing small majority. In Essex tie democra
give the republicans $500 majority, based on
the vote at the last charter election; but the
republicans claim that county by 5 0G0 because
at the charter election they lost over 900 Ger
man votes by their objection to local issue
In Hudson the democrats claim 6 000 and re.
pnbiicans give them 3,500. Each party there
fore, claims New Jersey by about 5000 ma
joriUy.
The democratic canvass gives the republicans
three congressman, but claim the state for
four OF the congressman and the state by 10, ,O0D
