Special Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, October 31.-A gentleman
who is an intimate friend of Folger, and II
pretty apt to be posted as to the Secretary
political hopes and fears, said to-day, IN the
course of conversation upon politics IL
general, and New York in particular:
81 think New York will go Republican
The prospects are much better than they
were ten days ago, and think they will
continue to grow better as election day ap
proaches." NJ,
In reply to an inquiry as to how Mr.
Folger felt regarding his prospects, the
gentleman said:
Nv Mn Mat EatgeF A feels haY very much sneoarageS
| visit to the metropolis. His friends, he
says tell him, and he is satisfied it is true
from his own observations, that decided
reaction has set in in his favor, and there
is every indication that it will continue
and increase from this out" -,
ITO what does he attribute the changer
was asked.
"Well," said the gentleman, ut is due to
variety OF causes. One of them is that
the Republican leaders have, within the
past two or three weeks, been dong.
An Enormous Amount OF Hard Cam
paign Work.
and it is having the effect to stir up the
rank and file of the party in the interior.
Another reason is the voters who have been
investigating the wholesale charges made
against Folger at the opening OF the can
yass, have about satisfied themselves that
they are only very ordinary sort OF cam
paign lies, and are renewing their party
allegiance; and still another cause is that
folL -hN fnr nnrarilv
the sounding of tOm-toms and blowing ot
hewgags which accompanied the nomina'
ton of Cleveland, have about regained
their senses, and begin to see the error ot
their ways
"Will the Secretary return to New
York;
at is extremely doubtful, and if he does
it will be only to cast his vote on next
| Tuesday. You see, he can't, OF course
take an action in the canvass unless he re-
signs, and so it is best that he stay away as
much as possible" Your correspondent
thought so too, but didn't say so, and the
gentleman continued:
"You folks will hear something drop
| next week, and it won't be FOlger, either.
Your candidate has been greatly overrat
ed. Why, sporting men in New Yoak are
betting heavy that the Republicans will
carry Erie county, Mayor Cleveland's
birthplace, by 5000 majority"
This Is n Specimen
of what the Republicans are giving out in
| the Government Departments and on the
corners of the streets, but that sort of talk
fools nobody. Well informed Independents
insist that the State will go Democratic by
from 5000 to 7S, 600 majority, and good
many Republicans are very much of the
| same opinion. A prominent Republican
from Syracuse, in speaking of the situation
there day or two ago, said he believed the
Republican majority in his county would
be cut down sol per cent, and that the Dem
ocrats will carry the State by $4,000 majori'
ty. in the central counties of the State, he
saws, there will not be much falling off OF
the Republican vote, but in the eastern and
western sections the Democrats will gain
largely. The vote will, he says, stand pretty
even throughout the State until you reach
New York and Brooklyn, where the tide
| will turn for Cleveland and he will be
elected.
Rufus Hatch Interviewed.
New York, October 31.-Rufus Hatch, in
| an interview to-day, says that Secretary
Folger will be beaten by more than $4,000
votes, and that the Democrats will have
their own way for the next dozen years.
| He says that Secretary Folger has shown
| himself incapable of administering the
duties OF the Treasury Department, as the
last call for bonds is a blunder of such
magnitude that it will compel banks hold
ing these bonds as basis of their circula'
ton either to go into the market and buy
four per cents at high premium or sur.
render their circulation. The banks will
| probably do the latter, creating a contrac.
tion and needlessly disturbing business.
