NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The Sun Is rather de-
spOndent to-day. Il says Hancock ought to be
elected and can be elected IL New York votes
for him; but adds that no one can see the signs

registry in the state, else they may come Il
grief. The World says the address OF the execu-

also repels the charge that the leaders of tbs
democracy In Indiana are not working together,
as 1t is signed by all OF them.
The Times has report that the democrats In
Maine have not abandoned all hope OF gaining
some advantage from the Garcelon frauds OF
last winter. The scheme is attributed to them
in case the vote in November is Close OF having
Garcelon claim TO be still the lawful governor
and give his certificate to the fusion electors.
Should the democrats carry the solid south and
New York and New Jersey, they would have 1S2
electoral votes, and the democratic votes on
the fusion ticket Of Maine would give them
majority. The Times thinks the way tC head
off the scheme is to give the electoral
vote of New York to the republicans.
