lAbSNA"A
New YORK, Oct 29.-As election day
draws near the claims of both Republicans
and Democrats grow greater, but the work is
about over. To be sure there is considerable
to be done yet bat it is not of the character
that produces political pyrotechnics and dis
play. All Of the great orations and ovations
yet to come are by this time provided for. 1t
Is conceded by those who hold their own
judgment to be worth anything that one of
the wisest conclusions of the Democratic
managers is that one which has
resulted in a trip to New Jersey by
Grover Cleveland. All Of the information
which has reached the campaign committee
from that state indicates that the Republicans
are working there in a fashion likely to be
peculiarly effective. A prominent New Jer-
sey Democrat declared to-day that the effort
Of the Republican state executive committee
were being supplemented by the labors of a
corps Of the best political manipulators at the
disposal Of Elkns their instructions being
TO keep their operations, as far as possible,
from the public gaze. In other words, the
favorite Republican eXpedient, known as
a still hunt, is being resorted to.
Cleveland's visit to the state will be produc-
tive OF much effect. The manipulators have
had personal interviews with nearly all the
prominent manufacturers Of the state and
have secured the cooperation of many of
them.
There is some talk of insuring New Jer-
sey through wholesale importations of the
supporters of Blaine. The Keystone state
y . la
spare two or three times the number if they
could be quietly and inexpensively settled in
New Jersey. 1t is said in New York poiti-
cal centers that the Republican policy is to
abandon this state and elect their candidate
by carrying New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana. Senator Jones, of Florida, says there
is no foundation for such a notion. He be-
leves the Fifth avenue committee still hope
TO win in New York. that they are looking to
Mr.. Blaine's return here to give the situation
amore favorable complexion, and that Tam
many's treachcry enters largely into their
calculations IS any other element likely to
exercise an influence over the result.
''Wc don't propose to be deluded into the
idea said the senator this morning, ''that
Blaine is going TO let the Empire state go by
default. If he loses New York he loses the
fight, and nobody knows it better than FL
kins does. see that one OF Blaine's organs
figures out majority of 20, 600 here. Ihave
given the statement careful attention and !
am bound to confess am amazed at the
efTrontery of the calculation. Take Kings
county, for instance. There Cleveland's
majority, rs anticipated by the authority ]
speak of, will be 5000 votes. / suppose there
are few Republicans in Brooklyn who don't
believe that the governor will carry Kings by
from 10000 to $4,000. 1t may be accepted
as a foregone conclusion that Grover Cleve-
lands majority in Kings viii be over -, 600,
ana If that may be taken rs a specimen
brick, what becomes Of the estimate! We
will carry New York by plurality which will
30 ahead of Blaine's margin in Pennsyl-
vauia, and they claim that he will have -,
600 votes to spare in that state -
''What strength Go you credit Butler with
in this state!'
Il shall be dsagreeably surprised if he
exceeds 10000. lie will get 4 larger vote in
the metropolis, of course, than in any city in
the state. We concede him about 5000,
ceiye in Brooklyn. Ii is rumored that. while
the Peoples candidate will be ostcnsibly in
the Held on election day. His henchmeu
will be quietly given to understand that they
may as well dispense with al ceremony al
the polls and throw their influence for Blame
direct ] have no doubt that that will be
done to a great extent, but our workers viii
be instructed TO couuteract such 4 movement
by exposing it and telling butterflies thai
they are being sold out. We have already
much to show the followers OF
Butler that they are in the position of the
cat which was used to draw the ehestnutS
from the fire. They have not been left in
the dark, and very few viii go to the polls
without thoroughly understanding that i.
they vote for the crooked-eycd man of des-
tiny they are giving him what can do him
little good and may do Cleveland harm. The
conviction that they are being used for
Blaine, however, seems to have spread
among the Butterflies. and so per cent. of
those who started out as admirers of the
Bay state demagogue will vote for Grover
Cleveland
Althoughsthe regular Republicans met in
New York Monday night and completed their
municipal ticket, the situation there will
scarcely form basis from which conclusions
can De reached. Whatever course is pursued
at the polls, something very much resembling
a scramble for the mayors chair is inevita-
bic The general impression is that there
viii be more trading in the metropolis this
year than ever occurred before at an elee-
ton.
A county Democrat said st the Hoffman
house this morning: Nothing could give
the Tammany candidate for mayor chance
but political inddeliy upon a whole
sale scale The failure of the Re
PublcAns 70 nominate a ticket worth printing
showed that Blaine's friends in New Yort
we're playing as sharp game as Kelly him
self They were emphasizing the necessity
for bargain by putting up fgureheads. L
