Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR:
NEW YORK, November &
The outside work Of the campaign in this city
closed on Saturday afternoon and night with two
very large and spirited professions in behalf OF
Gov Cleveland. That OF the business men was
remarkable for the number and character Of the
men comprising it. 1t is seldom that so fine a
body is seen in any public display. especially a
political one. Men worth thousands, even mil
lions. tramped side by side with their employees for
miles up Broadway and Fifth avenue to the re-
viewing stand on Madison square. They repre-
sented every conceivable channel Of trade, COM
merce and political interest; for there were quite
large number am ong them who have acted hereto
fore With the republican and other parties They
came In the various departments OF business, as
teiegraphed The STAR on Saturday from the lead
ing houses OF the city. The demonstration at
night Dy Tammany Hall was also very large and
enthusiastic one. There must have been $1,000
men on parade, and there seemed to be along the
whole line feeling Of entire harmony for the sup
port OF the national democratic ticket, which man.
1fested Itself very enthusiastically when passing
the stand where Gov. Cleveland and other promi-
nent democrats reviewed it. The two demonstra-
IONS enthused the whole city, filling the hotels
Win cheering men, capturing the audiences in the
theaters, and making the streets resonant with
SHOUTS and songs till far towards Sunday morning.
THE INSIDE wORK-THE BALLOTS.
To-day all OF the work is progressing inside The
two state and the two national committees are
busy attending to details The distribution of the
ballots began this morning This is q great work
in ITSELF There are 712 election districts in New
York city, with seven tickets to be voted for while
IN the eleventh district there are eight, where q
new civil justice is to be elected. There are usu-
ally printed 5000 ballots for each district, which
makes 2,l36,0O0. This must be multiplied by the
number OF candidates to be voted for, which gives
a total OF II, 952 OOO or about 100000 when the
new district is added Martin B. Brown, the prin-

house In the city. He has also printed 1000, 600
circulars and special tickets for candidates. making
his grand total about 10000 900 ballots But there
are four other printing houses doing the work for
other organizations, which, in Mr.. Browns opin-
ion Will print 1ao 600 600 more ballots making the
enormous total, In round numbers, Of 10000, 900.
No one would hardly dream OF such total, unless
aware OF some OF the figures The greatest care is

many "paSters' and perforated tickets being dis
tributed, thus furnishing the utmost facility for
"eutt1ng" and scratching"
how WILL NEW YORK VOTE?
The fact that the electoral New York is more
essential to the election Of Gov. Cleveland than to
Mr.. Blaine, and that the democratic majority must
be secured on this side OF the Harlem river, is so
well known that the Intensified interest OF the
whole country is centered right here, ana enters
into every conceivable channel of information and
influence. The question is asked every minute but
1t Is not answered quite SO often. The confidence
and estimates Of all OF the committees were tele-
graphed THE STAR on Saturday. The only informa-
ton be added at this writing from those sources

Another democrat not quite SO high in national
councils answered: "To me 1t is an confusion"
John Kelley said: 81 really believe Cleveland viii
be elected. He will certainly carry this state. He
Will have $4,000 majority in this city" There is no
doubt that Mr. Kelley is doing all he can to elect
Cleveland, and the republicans Will be mistaken on
any calculation that he is personally sincere in
his support. just how far he can control the Tam

does not anticipate, however, any detection that

THE THREE ELEMENTS IN To-MoRRow's VOTE.
1t must be admitted that there are at least three
elements that will enter into the vote OF New York
and Kings counties, two Of which possibly ally,
will decide the fate OF the state. The first is the
labor vote. II this Is leaving Butler and coming
over to Blaine In such numbers as the republicans
claim, then Mr.. Cleveland Will not be able to meet
the majority In the state at the Harlem river The
next is the reported trade on the municipal ticket
by the county democracy on one hand and Tam
many Hall on the other. That this is going on
already to some extent Is very plain, even TO out
siders. The third is the independent republican
vote. The republicans out OF town affect TO ''pooE-

CIVIL SERVICE Reform
I find among the independent republicans in
Brooklyn great admiration for Gov. Clevelands
views on civil service reform. They say that II
elected he will rgdly enforce the existing law and
apply Its rules where the law does not even reach
The Independent republicans claim that their vote
will elect him, and that he is pledged to the earn
est support OF the law Geo. VIM. Curtis takes this
view. The opinion was expressed that II this was
true, and Cleveland should be elected. there would
be some disappointment among the pilgrims to
Washington In the early spring. The reply was
prompt: "If elected MI. Blaine VIII make more re-
movals in Washington than Mr.. Cleveland WILL"
Mr.. BLAINE IN GOOD HEALTH AND CONFIDENT
Mr. Blaine left for New England ut nine O'Clock
this morning. He said that he felt much improved
by the rest over Sunday and the clear, bracing
November weather He appears to be in excellent
health. Senator Hale says that Blane's physical
condition, after what he had gone through, was q
marvel to him. she started the TRIP" said Mr.
Hale, "quite unwel. but the life in the open air
and the exercise have completely restored his

Michigan he made twenty-t three speeches" Mr.

pressed his entire confidence in his election He

party; but II laDoring men believed that tinkering

existing depression, then most OF that vote would
be found with the republicans.
