New YORK Nov. "A fair day and fair election
are promised here for the morrow. The weather
is bright cool and delightful, and there is no
prospect of rain: The police authorities look
for no trouble at the polls. Captain Williams,
who has the toughest and most disordery char
acters in the city in his precinct said this even
ing that he had no reason to expect the
slightest trouble on election day, and that the
city was so well looked after that there will not
be an angry word or blow at the polls Fair
weather and quiet election are regarded as
favorable points by the Republicans. The indi-
cations are that very heavy vote will be polled
in the city 1t is estimated that the total
number of votes cast here tomorrow will
be between 5000 and 5000 The
papers and politicians are stocked with
figures and predictions and the Democrats are
talking loudly and baastfully TO keep up their
courage. The Herald has been doing great
deal of Democratic work this fall. The real
sentiment and opinion of a majority of its
writers is repeated by Joseph Howard in his let
ter to the Philadelphia Press. Howard is one of
the leading spirits on the Herald. He writes:
Harlem river with the customary tide OF Repub-
lican majority. l believe that the State of New
York will stand shoulder to shoulder with the
States to the east and to the west and the States
on the Pacific slope, and that James G. Blaine
will be elected President of the United States by
a majority in the electoral college so marked as
to be almost unique in the history of the coun-
try"
The Republicans are growing more confident
as the day of fate draws near The national
committee has received a large number of en-
couraging and reliable dispatches to-day. Hon.
Jacob Riech of Des Moines, telegraphs that
Iowa will give at least 10000 for Blaine, and
elect ten congressman, which will be gain of
four in the congressional delegation
Chairman Lynde Harrison, of Connecticut
was seen by your correspondent Said he: 81
feel confident of my State l can see no reason
why it should not be carried. The Democrats
have been making all the capital possible out of
Mr. Burchards unfortunate ausion to rum
Romanism and rebellion, but do not think it
will profit them much. Intelligent Catholics will
not be deceived by these low Democratic
tricks, In New Haven the Democrats distlib
uted hand bills, charging Mr. Blaine with the
responsibility of Burchard's utteranee, at the
door of every Catholic church, but they
made no friends by such tactics Our latest fig
ures indicate that we will carry the State by at
least 2, 900 majority"
The estimates on New York State, at the head
quarters here settled down to minimum ma
jority of 10000 for Blaine and Logan. The bet
ting, late tonight, has been on New York State;
the Democrats were giving odds till . p NJ.
The bets on the general result are two to one in
favor of the election of Mr.. Blaine.
The national committees intelligence from
Ohio indicate that Mr.. Blaine will carry the
State by majority about equal to the Repub-
lican congressional majority i'll October The
Democrats are making elaborate preparations for
carrying Hamilton county W. S. Cappelly tele-
grarhed to night that the mayor and sheriff of
Cincinnati had called and sworn in special po
lice and called for troops with great flourish in
order to influence the result in other States.
Governor Hoadly promises all needed assist
ance, but advises that no respect be shown to
United States marshals, as he holds that they
have no legal existence. A mob of Cincinnati
roughs attacked the house of colored man who
testified against the police outrage at the Octo
ber election. If there is bloodshed it will be
chargeable to the inefficient judgment of Gov
ernor Hoadly, and the intense partisan spirit of
the mayor and police force; but in spite of all
this the voice of the people of Ohio will be for
Blaine, Logan and protection. and against par
tisan courts. The Democrats are intimidating
the negroes. Chairman Cox telegraphed
that artillery had been placed in some
of the lower wards of Cincinnati.
The Democrats are playing desperate game
there, and it will require the utmost vigilance
on the part of the Republicans TO defeat them.
The Democrats have already commenced their
bulldozng tactics in the South George l.. Nor.
ton, chief supervisor of elections, telegraphod
Mr.. Clarkson, of the national committee, to day.
from New Orleans, that the wholesale arrest of
negroes charged with vaGrancy had commenced,
and that IA were lodged in single Jail on Sun
day night. In the lower part of the city there
is prospect of the disfranchiselncnt of the en-
tire Republican vote. later dispatch from
the same source says: 1.-THE arrest of negroes
standing about the streets and on the wharves is
still continued, and in default of $25 fine the vic
tins are sentenced to thirty days imprisonment
The Republican vote is being steadily reduced
by these means"
