Special Dispatch to he Register.
NEW YORK, November 5.-The Demo.
cratic campaign is about finished, and it is
a work we'll done, and one which prom
ises to yield a rich and abundant harvest
The final reports are now being received at
headquarters from the chairman of the
county committees in the interior, and the
writers are unanimous in predicting full
vote and large Democratic gains. The dis
affection in the Republican ranks is deep
and widespread, and in some counties the
result will be a revolution
Unparalleled In This State
since the election Of Tilden to the Governor
ship. Erie county is an example.of this kind.
Party lines are completely broken down,
especially in the city wards, where in many
instances Independent candidates have
been nominated in opposition to those of
the machine. The Stalwarts have un-
masked their last battery, and have begun
70 use money freely. It is said one-third
OF all the funds collected by the State
Committee will be disburSed in Erie
county.
A careful canvass of the Western coun-
ties of the State shows more or less disaf-
fection everywhere, especially so far as
Governor is concerned. AS to Congress
men, the Thirty-first, Thirty-second and
Thirty.third Congressional districts will
undoubtedly return Republicans. The
Twenty ninth and Thirtieth districts, em-
bracing Rochester and Elmira, are in doubt.
There is
Little BOIting Of County Tickets,
and Republican nominees for members of
the Assembly are generally receiving
party support. Allegheny, which gave
Garfield 300 majority, is in doubt, and the
majority, whether it will BE- for Cleveland
or Folgrr, will be small. Cattaraugus gave
Garfield 700 majority. This will be great
ly reduced for FOlger-by 1000 at least.
Garfeld'S plurality in Chatauqua was 5000.
The best judges place FUlger's majority At
from 1000 To 1000. The GeneSee Repub,i-
can County Convention refused to endorse
Folger, and while he will probably carry the
county, it will not be by more than 500,
against 400 for Garfield. Monroe rolled
up 3, 400 for the Republican ticket in lsoO.

and 600 majority fSr the regular nominee
is claimed and allowed. In Niagara county
a majority will be given for Cleveland of at
least 500. Ii was carried in 1850 by the
regular ticket by the same majority.
Orleans, with a Republican majority of
1900 two years ago, will have reduced this
by half. In Steuben there is general up
rising. Garfield carried the county by
1900. This year Cleveland seems sure OF
500 majority. In Wyoming there is less
detection than in any OF the counties above
named. Garfield had 400 majority, and
FOlger will certainly have 1000. Allowing
that Cleveland will carry Erie by 5000 "a
low estimate at presently Folger will have
in these western counties but $50 majority
where Garfield received $4,000. These eX.

affairs is very much the same, only more
so. WestchSoter will give Cleveland 2,OOO
msiority, King. 5000 to 10000, Queens
5000, and the city anywhere from 5OUOO to
75,OOO majority. A summary Of Demo
cratic estimates is that FOlger will come
10 High Bridge with $4,000 majority, and
that they will meet him with from $1,000
to 100000 majority from the cities, and
bury him deeper than any gubernatorlal
candidate on either side since the war.
The Republican State Convention has
finished its uphill and hopeless canvass,
