NEW YoRk, nov. S.--rhe estimates made
| by careful and .unprejudicial observers OF
| the political situation all indicate that there
is little doubt but that the Democratic State
ticket will be elected. It 10 not O foregope
conclusion by any means and some Repnbii-
cans are. very hopeful aud the Democrats
themselves will be content with 10000 or
30,0 600 majority, instead OF the $4,000 they
claimed week ago. Maynard, Demo-
will probably run behind his ticket, owing
to the opposition of Catholics and LIQUOR
men. Still he will get largo temperance
vote. In his own county, Delaesre. where
usually 1000 majority goesto the Republican
candidate, Maynard Will probably get 1900
majority, while the rest of the Democratic
ticket will be beaten. II Is quite possible
| that MAYNARD will be beaten, but he will
probably squeeze in. The State Senate will
probably stand 20 to 12, In favor of the
Republicans, while the Assembly will prob
ably be n Democrats TO 81 Republicans.
Here in this city about 100000
Democ rats will have $4,000 or $4,000
majority on the State ticket As for the
local ticket no one can tell how that will
trun out, for there is going to BIZ no end OF
cutting. Reilly, Democratic nominee for
| Register, will probably be lected over Hess,
Republican, and O'Brien, Independent. OF
the seven Senators to be elected the Demo-
Gratis will get five and possibly six. OF the
Assemblymen elected the Democrats will
have "a probably and the Republicans
/ eight There is more iAterest over the elec
tion Of Mayor 10 Brooklyn than any other
local election of the ticket. To night the
betting is even, with both sides very conf
dent OF success.
BUTLER's CHANCES.
BosToN, Mass, Nov. 5.-Excltement here
is at fever heat over to-morrow's election.
The betting which ranged last week from
500 to $50 against Butler to 500 to $50
against him is now even. The Robinson
men are very much excited over the defec-
ton of the Herald, which has been very
bitter against Butler all through the cam
paign, but came out with page of Butler
matter on Saturday and page and half
yesterday. One member Of the Republican
State Committee said to-day that the Herdld'S
course would cost the party fully 1000 votes
The canvasses printed by the Herald, Star
and Globe, given in detail by towns, while
they differ considerably as to details
and figures, all point to the elec
ton of Butler by from 1000 to 1000 ma
jority. The gains Of Butler are reported
from unexpected quarters. The Globes tig
tor both candidates, are: Butler, l49 800 and
Robinson, 1877 900. Chairman Lodge claims
Robinson will have 10000 plurality. Gen.
eral Butler said this morning: shall either
be elected by an overwhelming majority or
n overwhelming ue1euU. Wnllo the en0r-
nous registration is admitted IN Buffers
favor it is claimed by the Republicans that
the reserves will more than offset 1t. The
vote will be the largest ever cast In the
State. Local Republican leaders now admit
that 200 New York roughs are to be brought
TO this city by Secretary Chandler, and
there are grave fears of riots In some sec
tions.
NEW JERSEY ALL RIGHT.
TRENTON, Nov. 5.-Abbett's election to-
morrow 10 positively assured, tho only ques-
ton being the majority. The lowest esti-
mate gives him !, 800 and the highest about
IL, 900 or 1900. 1t is believed that he will
lose somewhat In Hudson and MiddleseK,
but he will gain in Essex and will make
large inroads In South Jersey. Mr.. Albeit
is very popular In the lower counties, and
will run ahead OF his ticket in that section.
The Legislature is assure TO the Demo
Gratis by fair majority on joint ballot. The
majority In the House will be about l2. The
Senate is in doubt, but II the Democrats
secure Senators, as they expect to do, from
Bergen, Cumberland, Hudson and Ocean,
they will have the Senate as we'll as the
House.
PENNSYLVANIA PROSPECTS.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-The result here
will be close. Chairman Hensel, Of the
Democratic State Committee, was In the
beet OF spirts tonight. In response to the
question as to what estimates he possesses OF
| the vote In the several counties tomorrow,
he said: cit is impossible TO say anything
about majorities, the vote will be so small.
All the indications are In our favor. We
have much better organization than the
Republicans, and we have the advantage in
many other ways. think we are going to
win tomorrow; everything is encouraging
| and the situation is satisfactory"
Chairman Cooper, of the Republican
State Committe, said: 1--WE have made o
thorough canvass of the State and are satis-
| fled that we have done more to insure the
election OF our ticket than our opponents
have dreamed of A careful canvass of
PhiladelphiS gives us about from 1900 to
900 majority ior the State ticket.
MARYLAND WILL ELECT M'LANR.
BALTIMoRE, Nov. 5.-There is no doubt
| that the Democrats will carry the State.
| The Republicans expect to cut McLane's ma
| jority in Baltimore city down to 4 few thou
| sand and possibly cleo :, Holton Governor by
a majority of about 900 or 1900. The
| Democrats aud the unprejudiced, however,
| do not hesitate to express 1t as their opinion
that McLane will carry Maryland by q ma
iority of 5000 or 10000. Six thousand OF
| this majority the city is expected to give,
while the counties will make up the re-
mainder In addition to this the Leglsla-
ture will be Democratic on joint ballot by
| l0 or IL majority.
vIRGINIA's NOTABLE CAMPAIGN.
RICHMOND, Nov. 5.-The canvass In this
State has been the most notable known in
its history. Both sides claim to be confident
OF success, but it is apparent that the lead
ers are nervous and restless as the day OF
| trial approaches. Malone claims that he
will have both branches of the Legislature.
His majority IN the House of Delegates, he
estimates, will not be less than Is and in
the Senate three majority on joint ballot.
Many OF his confidential leaders claim much
less and say they will be satisfied with a
moderate majority in each branch of the
Assembly. The Democrats express perfect
confidence In their ability to secure both
brar ches OF the Legislature. Those who
make an estimate say they will have q ma.
iority of seven In the House and two In the
Senate.
IN THE NUTMEG STATE.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 5.--In this State one
half of the Senate is 10 be chosen, or twelve
Senators, and the entire House of Represen
tatiyes. The last Senate stood II Demo
