MN loRK, November THE State
Committee rooms at the Hoffman House
were crowded all morning with visitors
from all parts of the State. Final instruc-
tons were given to those who are to have
charge of the polls, and especial stress placed
upon the necessity for keeping sharp
lookout for bribery. One of Mr.. Mannings
visitors said than an enormous sum Of
money had been placed in the hands OF
those who had charge Of Mr.. Blaine'S inter
est in New York city.
During the week reports have been re-
ceived from all the large cities and towns in
the State, and from many Of the smaller
voting centerS These have been made the
basis of a final estimate of the vote of Tues
day next. ClevelaLds majority in New
York is now figured at between $4,000 and
100000. In reaching this conclusion the
Independent strength is moderately estims-
ted, sixty thousand being agreed upon as
representing the scope and strength
of the Republican revolt Mr.. Man
ming contends that the State is Democratic,
all things being equal, to the extent OF
fifty thousand votes, and he adds 10 this
total the Independent strength, and make
allowance for the votes which the Prohibi-
tiouists will take away from Blaine. The
Stalwart contribution is not lost sight Of,
and is not exaggerated in the estimate. As
a result Of the closest figuring, it is found
that Mr.. Butler can be credited with many
more votes than he is likely to receive with
out cutting down the Democratic plurality
below sixty thousand.
The Nutmeg State.
The contending forces in the Nutmeg
State have been carefully counted both By
Tie Republican and Democratic managers
The latter say that Cleveland will have
majority Of between 5000 and 5000, while
the Republicans say that Blaine will win
by narrow margin This morning how
ever. Mr.. Barnum received intelligence
from source which he regards as being en-
lnely trustworthy and which conviLces him
hat in spite Of their open protestations
they have no hope of winning.
John Kelly.
In spite of the repeated assertions OF
John Kelly, both in public and in private,
that Tammany will vote for Cleveland and
Hendricks, find many very we'll informed
men who ought to know what they are talk
ing about saving that Tammany will GER
tainly knife Cleveland. Yet it is being
telegraphed from this city that this report
is got up by the Republicans for the pur,
pose OF 6isheartening rural Democrats.
if this is true it ought to have
the very contrary effect. Rural
New York State Democrats as a
rrle do not love 1ammauy and the news
that that ill-favored organization is going
10 try to beat the Democratic candidate
ought to shur them TO renewed efforts to
out their entire vote. 1t is said that in
consequence of TIE clear statements Of
Kelly before The Tamwany Hall Committee
last night, that the organization will stand
by Clevelnad on election day parties who
few DAYS ago were betting that Nsw York
city would not give Cleveland over thirty
five thousand majority are putting up their
money on a majority Ct from torty-iive
thousand to ffty-6ve thousand.
To revert to John Kelly again, he was in
terviewed this morning by careful re-
porter, who found him in the best OF humor.
be said with all apparent sincerity that he
would support Cleveland. If Mr.. Kelly is
playing the game he ia said to be playing,
then he is more than a continental liar, he
is a universal liar. A Tsmmany man
said to day that Hubert T. Thomp-
son. the leader of the County
Democracy would vie with Tammany in
getting votes for Cleveland, and he invited
the closest scrutiny of the work which would
be done at the polls, and that Kelly replied:
I'VE are not afraid OF our men,. they will
work faithfully at the polls for Cleveland,
and to disabuse the minds of people who
have been falsely informedas to our actions
or intended actions, We, too, earnestly de-
sire that they shall be closely watched on
elaction daV,
