NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Mr. John F. Smythe,
chairman of the Republican state commit
tee, was asked to-day if he expected the
Republicans would win in this state at the
election tomorrow, to which he replied:
Il make no predictions. I have done my
duty to the Republican ticket. If the friends
of Blaine and the pretended friends of
Garfield are to stab the ticket and defeat
the party, let the responsibility be upon
their heads. They cannot shake their CORY
locks at me and say that I did it. But
will not believe that they will carry out
their threats until the returns prove it.'
'Beecher says that he is going to vote
for Cleveland. You don't call him Blaine
mani"
"Oh, the Sunday school fellows you can't
tell anything about. He is just as likely
to vote for Folger as for Cleveland, and it
don't matter much anyway"
And so saying Mr.. Smythe turned away
in disgust.
Gen. Sharpe was in no better humor
than Mr.. Smythe. When asked if there
was any canvass of the probable vote in
the state made by the Republican commit
tee, he curtly replied:
There is nothing in that way we care to
communicate to the public"
The general finally said that he did not
give up the state by any means. 1t may
be stated that there has been much less
money put upon the result this
year than usual, owing to the
heavy odds which persons require
who bet on Folger. A sporting man Of
fered yesterday in the Astor house corridor,
to wager $1,000 to 500 that Cleveland
and the entire Democratic state ticket
would be elected, but he could get no
takers. Such betting as there is is npon
majorities, and odds are offered that
The favorite bet now-and it is an even
bets that Cleveland will be elected
without the majority of New York county.
There is little betting in this city on the
state result in any way. and most Of the
money risked is on the local result in New
York city. The odds are slightly in favor
of tn, election of Edison. Various esti-
mates are set down as to the result in the
state, the majority of Cleveland being
placed at from $4,000 to $4,000, some of
the calculations giving him 1000 and 9th
ers $1,000 to $4,000. 1t is said that at
least 10000 votes will be cast for the Pro-
hibition candidates. The reason of this
is that the men having charge of this alleged
party have been very active this year, and
great many Republicans will vote that
ticket in preference to any other. It will
have the effect, however, of bringing out a
large Democratic vote, as the men opposed
to sumptuary laws, and who fear the out
cry being raised in the west on this SUBJ
ject, have been stirred to unusual activity
on behalf of the Democratic state ticket.
Geo. j. Jones, chairman of the Green
back state committe, thinks that his party
W II benefit by the Republican disaffect ion
to the extent of 10000 votes. If the
Greenbackers get 10000 Republican votes,
the prohibition party as many more, and
a fair allowance is made for stay homes
and the Republicans who will vote for
Cleveland, it is hard to tell where Judge
Folger will be. In 1879 Cornell's majori
ty over the regular Democratic vote was
53,46S. The Kelly and Robinson vote
united that year would have given Robin
son majority of S5.8O2. This year the
Democrats, among other estimates, place
Cleveland's majorities in the various coun-
ties at $3.50 and Folger's 41,400 thus CIV
ing Cleveland clear estimated majority
of $3.50.
