The Whole Country of One Mind as to

HOme-The Republican Managers
Bound to Try the Efficacy of Cor
ruptiOn.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a great deal of
political information reaches Washing
ton through private channels. This is
often more reliable than that which is
given publicly by the party managers.
Upon such information, whose only fault
is that it Is too meagre, is based the belief
common to all well informed men in
Washington tonight that Cleveland will
be elected tomorrow. Private assurances
from Democratic managers in New York
are to the effect that the South is still
solid for Cleveland; that he will get New
York without a doubt, and that he will
probably carry Indiana, but positive
assertions end with New York. The
Democrats think though that they
have a right to claim, besides, Indiana.
Connecticut, New Jersey and Nevada.
They have hope in Michigan, too, about
which little has been said, and there is a
Democratic prospect in Ohio and New
Hampshire. The editor of the Boston
Herald thinks that there is a Democratic
chance in Massachusetts. The Demo-
cratic managers are looking for gross
attempts at bribery and intimidation by
Blaine and, if he is defeated, an attempt
TO question the result in one or more
Southern States. The Blaine men do not
claim States; they simply claim that
"Blalne will get in' by hook or by crook.

CLEVELAND AT HIS HOME.
The Next President strOlIing About the
City Among His Friends.


BUFFALO, Nov. 3.-Gov. Cleveland ar
rived here this morning at Z :35 O'Clock, ,ac-
companied by his friend, f. D Tuthin, of
the Tiff House, and Mr.. TuthiIPs nephew.
The Governor declined the use of Mr..
TuthilPs carriage, and quietly strolIed to
his usual breakfasting restaurant, where,
after partaking of hearty meal, he re-
paired to his rooms over his office, and
later at about 10 O'Clock was at his desk
IN his law office. 1t was expected that
the Governor would arrive this afternoon,
and preparations had been made to give
him a reception. About IL O'Clock he left
his office and strOlled leisurely up to the
Tiff House. He was attlred in a
handsome suit of black broad
cloth, and appeared to be
in very good health. He was in excel
lent spirits and frequently stopped on the
sidewalk to chat familiarly for a moment
or two with some friend To an Associ-
ated Press reporter he said: 81 am in
most excellent health, and am more than
pleased to be at my old home again." He
states that the most cheering news had
come to him from almost every quarter,
and the prospects OF success of the Demo-
cratic ticket he considered quite bright.
In answer to a question as to what he
JnOugHt aDcuC Ine state OF New Ork he
replied that he must decline to give an
opinion, and referred the interviewer to
Mr.. McCune, whom, he said, could better
answer that question than himself. He
will remain here Tuesday, and will vote
in his old place in the Ninth ward.
Gov. Cleveland took dinner at the Tiff
House to-day, after which he made his way
of his old law office, and was continually
stopped to receive the congratulations of
his friends, number of ladies and sever
al of his political opponents being among
them. This evening he held a short re-
ceptiOn at the City Club, and later at
tended the Academy of Music, where his
presence elected enthusiastic applause.
He retired at the end of the fourth act.

How the Betting is Running-C Cleveland
Certain of New York
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The corridors of
the hotels are crowded tonight with
anxious men all eagerly discussing the
probable result of tO-morrow's election.
Opinions are sought and commented on
with almost as much earnestness as if
they were news. Everybody who is be-
lieved TO have any information about the
situation from points in New York
State or in other States are beseiged
by excited inquirers. There appears
to be no doubt that a very heavy
vote will be pOlled in this city and
throughout the State. There is a great
deal of speculation as to what Buffers
vote will be in this city, and what st.
Johns. The impression prevails that
neither will be as large as was expected
few days ago. The Republicans think
that Buffers vote will reach $4,000, and the
Democrats place it under 10000. 1t is
generally conceded that st. Johns will
be great deal larger than Buffers in the
whole State. The registered vote of this
city In round numbers is 100000, and if
the weather is fine at least 235, 900 votes,
1t is believed, will be cast. The Blaine
men are counting on between $4,000 and
10000 votes in the city, but if the Inde-
pendent vote is as large as anticipated,
Blaine's vote will fall below $4,000. There
doesn't seem to be any doubt outside
Of Blaine circles that Cleveland will
get the State by a fair majority. The bet
ting is certainly in that direction. With
regard to New Jersey, even bets have
been made that Cleveland will get it,
and bets of $500 to 81, 900 that he will get
Connecticut. With regard to Indiana,
= n fa of pToIy
and rather in favor of Blaine on the gen
eral result. There is a good deal
of talk tonight relative to the
effect the MayOralty contest in this city
will have on the national contest. The
city patronage is a rich prize, and there
are charges and counter charges as to
what the Tammany Democrats and the
County Democrats will do in the way of
trading. The Democratic national man.

Warrants Issued for Arrests In Nearly
all the Large Cities.
NEW YORK, Nov. st is said that
Pinkert0n's detectives have reported to
the United States authorities that there
are between 200 and 800 illegal registra-
tions at Coney Island. In Brooklyn
upervisor-in-Chief Allen and United
States Assistant District Attorney Angel
are going over the registry. About 5000
warrants are said to have been issued for
cases of illegal registration, including
about 80 marines in the barracks and cab
dock. 1t is said that according to statute
these are outside of the city, and there
fore have no right to register. Judge
Moore, in the Kings County Court of Ses-
sions to-day, charged the grand jury that
there would probably be some election
frauds brought before them for cOnsidera-
ton.
knowledge was obtained to-day by the
authorities in this city to the effect that
90 men registered from "A single house
in West Twenty-eighth street, in which
not one of them resided. Detectives were
this afternoon placed in possession of
about a dozen bench warrants, some of
which they expect to execute during the
day. The indications are that very
large number of arrests Will be made to-
morrow.
SEVENTEEN ARRESTS AT CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-Seventeen pris-
Oners were arraigned in the United States
Court to-day, charged with violating the
election laws. One of them was Thomas
COgan, "A member of the Legislature. He
was charged with two Offenses-assault-
ing a Deputy Marshal and preventing a
citizen from voting. Over 100 persons
have been indicted.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Nov. 3.-The
outlook for the Florida election is favor
able to the Democrats. There is very
little doubt of the election of Perry as
Governor and Davidson for Congress from
the First district. The contest is consid-
cred close between DOughterty and Bis
bee in the Second district. The chances
favor the former. A majority of the white
Republicans support the Democratic
State ticket. For this reason Perry will
Outrun Cleveland, not sufficiently, as is
believed, to endanger the Democratic elec-
tOral ticket. There has been considerable
colonization. Illegal registration on the
part Of the Republicans is being closely
watched. AS far as learned, Chatfee
didn't put out much money. Greeley, the
Republican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, will Outrun Pope. 1t is
expected that 10000 votes will be pOlled
in Florida tomorrow. The Republicans
will carry this county by 1000 or 1900.
The Democrats expect working majOri-
ty in both branches of the Legislature.
The Republican demonstration announced
for tonight was cOuntermanded. No Uni
ted States Deputy Marshals have yet been
appointed. The negro excursion from At
lanta VIII not put IN an appearance. A
peaceable election in the city is antici-
pated. Wallis candidacy will help Dough-
eFty several hundred votes. 1t is raining,
and bad weather is threatened.

THE OUTLOOK AS SEEN AT PENSACOLA.
PENSACOLA. FLA, Nov. 3.-The cleo
ton in this State will be more bOtly con-
tested than ever before. Both sides claim
the State, but the Democrats have the
best foundation. The vote will be large.
DOugherty, Dem, claims that he will de-
feat Bisbee, the present Republican in
cumbent, for Congress by 500 majority.
Davidson, DEM, is conceded reelected
over Locke, Rep. Perry, DEM, for Cover
