THE LAST DAY.
FINAL REVIEW OF THE slTUATIo.

Leaders on the Result.
The Democratic workers congregated at
Gillin & Nagle's printing Office, on South
Fifth street, Philadelphia, where the tick
cts were distributed ard porne away in
huge two bushel bags by trustworthy
members Of the city ward and executive
Committees. Chairman Harrity believes
mat Controller Pattison will carry Phila
delphia by plurality of not less than TO-
600 votes, and predicts the election of the
entire Democratic county ticket by good
majorities. He has just issued a circular
warning the Democratic inspectors, SUPER
visors and clerks of the election TO see that
the number is plainly written on every bal
lot and that no one votes more than one
ticket. The circular states that certain
Republicans have formed 4 plan by which,
in divisions where they have judge and
inspector, they will not number the Demo-
cratic state ticket, although pretending to
do SO, but will have Republican voting
after Democrat whose ticket has not been
| numbered, vote two State tickets, one
bearing the proper number aud the other
having number which should have been
placed upon tho Democratic ticket. ''Once
in the box" the circular continues, ':there
is no remedy until the ballots are to be
counted, when the unnumbered ballots
will be thrown out by the order of the Re-
publican judge and inspector, and the
Democratic inspector will be charged with
having put them in the box"
Hensels Last Three Csn:s.
Hero is the last of the Democratic
barrel" said Chairman Hensel, mourn
fully displaying dilapidated pocketbook,
containing q three-cent postage stamp,
q ard I guess that even this would be
gone if it had not been stuck fast to tho
lining. But We will raise money enough
to pay cur debts aud we have raised votes
enough to elect PattisOn by a big plu-
rality."
Mr.. Hcnsel professed inability to csti-
| mate to days vote, but said he thought
that Phi!adelphia's vote might possibly
range from 5000 plurality for Beaver to
5000 plurality for PattisOn. '' If any
considerable number Of Independents
vote for Pattison," said he, I" tho latter
figures will probably be the correct ones.
Ii they all vote for Stewart and develop
about the strength with which l credit
them, tho Democratic aud Republican
candidates will leave the city with the
honors about even.'
Chairman Mckee, Of the Independent
state committee, was not disposed to haz-
| ard an estimate Of the result of the cleo
ton, but thought that Stewart would pol
$50, 600 votes.

Animated as wero the scenes at the Re

was at the rooms of the committee of Que
hundred that the most work was traasac-

tickets and stickers for the ,1se 0; them

on hand was severely taxed. The cam

part OF the afternoon. John Field, its
chairman, predicted the election Of all the

There will b. ia, 900 votes polled," he
said, when asked for his estimate. anG
Beavers plurality over Pattison will be al
least Is, 900. We have received reliable
advices from every section of the state
aud am satisfied that Stewart will no!
poll more than 40, 900 votes-say possibly
so, 600, although that's an excessive esti-
mate. Armstrong, the Greenback- Labor
candidate, will make a strong run in many
portions of the state and will poll from
10, 900 to Il. 900 moro votes than Stewart
and most of them will be CAST by Demo-
Gratis. In Philadelphia count On 13,OOl
plurality for Beaver, with about S.O0O
votes for Stewart. All the candidates on
the state ticket will run at about the same
! figures
