THE STATE.
A Review which Bears Ont the Above
Predictions,
Special Dispatch to the RegiSief.


PHILADELPHIA, November 6.-Hour cor
repondent has devoted considerable part
Of to-day to feeling the pulse of the body
polite, with about the following result:
Almost without exception, Democrats be-
lieye the party is on the eve of great vic.
tory, and one which, with the breach in
the ranks of their opponents now hope
lessly widened, will be of substantial and
lasting benefit. The straightouts are strain
ing every nerve to win, and their bitter
denunciations of their late brethren now
marshaled under the banner of Stewart is
absolutely painful to one who has been &C
customed to seeing party factions dwelling
together in unity and calmly proceeding
to an
AmIcable Division Of the SpOils
OF victory after the battle has been fought
and won. The Stalwarts affect great comb
deACe in the OstCOme, but betray in their
conversations 8 nervousness and ill-cOn-
ealed dread of the morrow, which augurS
III for them. The chief charaC aCteristic OF
the independent leaders is q placid and
child-like smile, which gradually developes
into a grin when the claims and Predlc'
lions OF the Beaver men are mentioned Ill
their hearing. With no hope or eXpecta-
tion of succ, 50 themselves theyfeel that boss
ism and machineism in Pennsylvania ~
on the brink of grave vide and deep, IN
which il will be laid to rest to-morro" by
the voters of the Commonwealth with feel
ipgs the reverse of mourning and regret,
and from which they have
No Fears OF Resurrection
and a return to power. Beaver is certainly
doomed. In this prediction am sustained
by many impartial and well qualified oo-
servers, notably the correspondent OF the
New York Times, Rep who, to-day, IN his
paper. predicts the election of Mr.. PattlSon
nv a plurality ranging from 10000 upward.
Throughout the State the feeling among
intelligent Republicans is overwhelmingly
in favor of Mr. Stewart and thousands who
now ayOw their adherence to Beaver, VIII
secretly vote for the overthrow OF the sys'
! tenn which he represents. The labor vote,
| too, has not received the attention IL 1e-
serves in making estimates OF the probable
outcome, and the fact that it will be

| of Cameron. As near as can be inquired OUT

/ sboui as follows: Total probable vote
| 7sO 900; Pattison, D., $4,000; Beaver, X,
| 325 600: Stewart, Ind, $4,000; Armstrong,
! / 2O coo This gives Democratic plurality
/ of 90 900, which is "a, $50 less than the estl-
/ mate at Democratic headquarters. Inc

Beaver, and this is based upon the supposl-

LEGGED General 1900 majority over Patti

that as | said Yesterday, il will give

Iatter figure at the outside. The city Will
