NEW YORK, october 25.
The routine work OF the national committees of
the two great political parties having their head
quarters in this city has practically closed There
appears to be little for the committees to do from
now until the day Of election but to raise more
money If possible and place it where 1t will do the
most good In the remaining conteste1 states Here
in New York the wheel-horse work has been turned
over to the state committees look after the state
beyond the Harlem river and to the county CON-
mittees to look after this city and Brooklyn.
To say that the canvass is "red hot" hardly ex-
presses the intensity of the situation 1t is poll
tics to the right OF you, to the left OF you and all
around you. Everybody has the subject on his
tongue and you find no trouble in hearing all sides
Will be able from what you hear to fix I'D the re-
suit to suit yourself. The bulge, however, to the
shrewd observers is evidently with the republi-
cans. The result in Ohio has given them a boost
which they seem to be following up with great
vigor.
The democratic managers appear to be pushing
their canvass just as II Ohio had not affected
them, but the casual looker-on CEN readily see that
there is notable depression existing among the
in the hotels, the clubs, the exchanges, and the
thoroughfares They give that surest OF sure
signs OF dlstres[speaking In an undertone OF the
as to "what might have beenn had some other
democrat, such as Tilden, or Thurman, or Bayard
been made the nominee.
The democratic managers and their republican
allies have dropped the Mulligan and the Hooking
valley line OF attack on Mr.. Blaine, and are now
turning their attention TO stirring UP the stalwartS
who are strong in this city and In certain other
sections OF the state They are calculating that
the stalwart detection and the independent repub.
lican vote Will be more than an Offset TO what
Cleveland will lose by votes for Butler and what is
said to be detection among the Irish. They also
take great encouragement In the Snarl the repub-
licans in this city have got themselves into over
their nominations for the county Offices
This snarl, they Think completely breaks up any
I IN hDu hlnn nnF a. tod VIII N
Tammany Hall The patronage OF these county
Offices Is immense, and the mayor to be chosen is
amount OF this patronage is estimated at $50 600.
In the building Of the new acqueduct alone 81,
100000 are TO be spent, and the mayor bosses the
job. Then the appointment OF all OF the heads OF
departments in the city, such the commissioners
OF police, public works. charities and corrections,
parks streets, &C. &C.. rests with the mayor abSo-
lutely. The division OF this power with the board
OF aldermen no longer exists.
The idea among politicians here is that the party
viii secure the political control in this CITY for
years to come. Hence comes the willingness OF
the Tammany men and part OF the machine re-
pubiicanS to sacrifice their national ticket IL it be
necessary to secure this power. The machine re-
publicans can under no circumstances 1t en-
tlIely, put what they are playing for In the
spoils
THE VOTE OF NEW YORK STATE
The two state committees are now receiving the
reports from their canvassers In the state. The
canvass Is being made by school districts Both
committees are already estimating what the ma
1orfty is to be-taking these returns as basis.
The republicans say their canvass indicates a
majority for Blaine Of 10000 over Cleveland. The
democratic committee, on the other hand, say
their canvass gives Cleveland an easy 10000 ma
jority over Blaine.
CLOSE INDIANA ESTIMATES.
The national republican committee has word
from Indiana that that state will surely go for
Blaine by 5000 majority, and that the legislature
will be republican on joint ballot by from one 10
three majority, thus securing the defeat OF Voor-
heeS return TO the Senate. The democrats esti-
mate majority OF 5000.
COLORADO.
From Colorado the same committee las informa-
tion that Secretary Teller's advent on the stump
there, and his announcement that he Will be can
didate for the United States Senate to succeed HILL
whose term expires on the 4th OF March next, has
failed to heal the diSSenSionS In the republican
ranks there, and the chances are while Blaine will
have 5000 majority in the state the democrats will
secure the legislature and secure the SenatOrShip
BETS IN NEW YORK.
The betting is not very brisk. Neither side will
give odds. The republicans seem to be more ag-
gress1ve In Offering bets than the democrats.
