RuLADELPHIA, November 4.-Excitement
over the coming election increases hourly,
snd speculation on the result forms the
only topic Of conversation on the streets,
IN business houses, and in the family cir
Gle. The interest in the outcome of the
present canvass is unprecedented in the
history Of the State, Both the Stalnart
and Democratic manaktrs sreI stakt - "a
tl,s RESULT The other pafty manipulators,
such as the Independents and labor men,
are content to figure on what vote their
candidates will receive.
Al the Independent Headquarters
tonight, no estimates are being made ex-
cept on the extent Of the vote for Stewart.
The information which has come 10 the
headquarters from the several counties has
teen carefully gone over, and the assur-
snce is given that the independent Rspub-
licaa vote in the State will amount to 1O5,.
Do. This is regarded by many shrewd In
pendentS as the lowest reasonable estimate
Stewart who arrived here this morning. is
lar more enthusiastic. He says the vote
will not be less than 10000. He bases his
calculation upon his experience through
the State. He says there are thousands OF
Republicans who expect TO vote the Inde-
pendent ticket but whose intentions are
not known.
At the Beaver Headquarters
they have been busy getting together some
revised reports OF the situation in the State.
The most Of these come by telegraph from
the Chairmen OF the Stalwart County Com
mitteeS. They are made, under inStruC.
tons from Quay, TO do the best possible.
Late this afternoon enough OF this matter
was in hand 10 enable Quay to tell the boys
that Beaver would be elected by 1000. /
When they IRE asked to bet they reply
with an offer 10 bet on the extent of Stew
arts vote This they now put at 6O, 900.
In their Calculations on the general result I
hey pat Philadelphia down for 1900 for
Beaver, but nobody outside the Stalwart
headquarters suPPoses that Beaver will
have 200 here.
AtIhe Democratic Headquarters
tie general estimates give Patison A.
GEO plurality in the State: but that the
p,l., Gratis insist is the inside figure.
Tire majority of the calculations give
Patii,, n from =. .OOO 10 5000 This is doubt
less based upon the fact that 3 consider
able number of Independents in Philadel-
as being the most effective. These are
largely Republicans who have twice voted
io- him fer Controller and who have more
or less personal knowledge of him.
The drift i'm this way was shown by an
incident in the Boar d of Brokers meeting
this morning. Wharton Barker concluded
10 uUll the brokers. There were 80 present,
and only 10 were Democrats. The poll re-
suited. Beaver, Sis. Stewart. y; fHtIiSOn,
81 Showing that PattiSOn must have re-
Ceived ~ Republican votes. TX this Is any
rIlide. Tattison will have from 1000 to To-
Ouv plurality IN this city.
