"She must not be too vain or proud,
Too fond of show in dazzling crowd;

Her heart must be tender, her knowledge fair,
Her presence must tighten my weight Of care

Or whether she has a purse at all;
And l crave not beauty. nor set 1t above

albany, n. Y, Nov. 3.-The campaign in
this state is closed, and the result Of the bal
loting to-morrowing is awaited with the
greatest interest and anxiety by both parties.
The canvass has been most vigorous and
bitter one and has been well and ably fought
on both sides. Few II any Democrats can be
found who are not confident that the state

/ equaled or even approached. Conceding

aud Kings county. Many Republicans con
cede Is, ,Ooo Democratic majority in the
latter, while the DEMOCRATS are hoping for

but it is generally believed that, in spite Of

appear that Tammany and the County Demo

it does not exceed $4,000. The altogether
unprecedented demonstrations CT busi-
ness men in favor Of Cleveland
and Hendricks lead many Democrats
to predict as high as 10000 or $4,000. It
may be set down as reasonably certain that.
unless Blaine gets more than $4,000 plurality
in the state, outside Of New YORK and Kings,
he cannot carry it. The leaders Of the Dem
ocratic party are quiet, but confident that no
power on earth, not even 'soap," can wrest
the electoral votes Of the state from the re-
form governor.

Cleveland Cheerful and Hopeful.


BUFFALO, n. Y. Nov. 3.-GOy. Cleveland
arrived in this city at 7:25 this morning.
There was no demonstration, as he was not
expected until this evening On his arrival
the governor proceeded at once to breakfast
and then walked over 10 his room, where he
made his morning toilet. Before be was half
dressed large number, who had just heard
of his unexpected arrival, crowded the
stairway leading 10 his suite Of rooms
intent on shaking hands and saying ''Good
morning'i 10 their fellow townsman. The
governor passed quiet day visiting old
friends and resting from the fatigue of his
recent exertions. He looks well, and saws
be feels as well as he looks. While he says
but little on the political situation, one can
not help but see that he feels confident that

A representative OF the GLOBE succeeded
in gaining sdmittance 10 the governor this
forenoon, and was accorded a short inter
view. In reply TO a question as to the situa-
ton Mr.. Cleveland said:
II think it IS very wood. The other side
will use money for all it is worth Desperate
efforts will be used TO buy up the votes Of
New Jersey and Connecticut. I don't believe
they can do st."

s'Mr. Hendricks has never lost his state, -
said the governor. "His popularity is as great
as ever, and be seems satisfied that Indiana
will be all right All the local antagonisms
in the party are allayed. The tactics
of 1850 will be attempted, but
1 don't believe any star route business
will capture that state this time. There is a

tNEENi1l ANA--A1 ~ - Na~ O410-at
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The election ex-
element has but little effect on the transac-
tioa OF government business. Treasurer
Wymsn says the receipts OF the government
continue large az all points and there have
been no unusual movements Of money. The
crops that require large shipments OF money
by the government 10 move do not seem to
include the crop of voters. The absence Of
clerks, however, has somewhat retarded the
transaction Of business in the treasury Office.
To-day Mr.. Wyman acted not only for him
self but for the assistant treasurer, the
cashier and assistant cashier, and four chiefs
Of divisions in his Office, all OF whom have
gone home TO vote. Commissioner Evans
stays here aud runs the internal revenue
bureau, while Deputy Commissioner Rogers
goes home to vote, because Mr.. Evans is q
citizen of Kentucky, where single Repub-
lican vote does not amount 10 much, while
Mr.. Rogers lives In Pennsylvania where
politics are not quite so one-sided.
Ample arrangements are being made for
the reception of the election returns The
National Republican is goirg to display the
dispatches with a stereoptlcon. The Repub-
hcan congressional committee rooms will be
closed, but the news will be received and
publicly announced at the Republican finance
committee rooms. The Democrats viii re-
eeive and announce returns at their con-
gression1l committee rooms. The Demo
cratic central committee o: the dis
trict will also publicly announce
news aud several minor Democratic clubs
have arranged to get returns. Everywhere,
on both sides, there is state OF very great
but suppressed excitement. Only few pro-
fessional enthusiasts talk about a sweeping
victory. Nearly everyone admits that the
result win be uncertain and maioEities mar
row. The general state OF mind here the night
before the battle can be imagined from the
fact that change Of administration means
vastly more In this DISTINGUISHED population,
not only to government employees but to the
business community, than IL does in any
other city in the country. During the last
three days, while the exodus of voters has
been going on beyond ali precedent, scarcely
anybody has arrived at the hotels here and
nobody talks about anything but election.

Cleveland I'm Bunain-

BUFFALO, Nov. 3.-GoT. Cleveland ar
rived here this morning at 7:S5, accompanied
by his friend Z. D. Tuthill, Of the TiEt
house, and Tuthil's nephew. The governor
declined the use Of Tuthilrs carriage, aud
quietly strolled TO his usual breakfastlng res
taurHnt, where. after partaking Of hearty
meal, he repaired 10 his rooms over his
office, and later, about 10 O'Clock, was at bis
desk in his law Office. II was understood
that the governor would arrive this after
noon, and preparations had been made 10
give him reception. About
II o'clock be left his Office
and strolled leisureiy up to
the Tiff house. He was attired in hand
some suit Of black broadeioth, and appeared
in the very best o. health and in excellent
spirits. lie frequently stopped on the side
walk to chat familiarly with some Of his
friends. An Associated Press reporter in
teryiewed him, aad in answer as 10 his
health he said: Il am in the most excellent
health and am most pleased to be at my old
home again" lie stated that the most
cheering news came 10 him from
every quarter, and the prospects Of success
OF the Democratic ticket he considered first
rate. In answer as 10 what he thought
about the state Of New York he declined to
give an opinion, and referred the interviewer
to Mr.. McCuue, who, he said, could better
answer that question than himself. The
governor did not seem 10 be desirous OF con
tinuing the subjec, Ot the coming election.
lie viii probably remain here until Tuesday
noon, and win vote at his old polling place
in the Ninth ward, probably early in the
morning.

Ohio Very Close

Especial Telegram TO thc Globe.
COLUMBUS. o., Nov. Son the eve Of the
final battle it is found that there IS to be
more Of a contest in Ohio than was expected.
The Republicans claim that the October
election was test Of the parties in this state
on national issues, bit while they had 4
plurality OF II 900 over the Democrats in
that contest, they we're in the minority by
over >, 900 on the total vote cast, aud 1000
even is a close m argin on a total vote of
nearly 500, 900. The fact that change Of
three votes at each OF the 2,O12 voting pre-
eincts in the state would change the result
so that the Cleveland aud Hendricks cleo
tors would be elected has been enough TO in
spire the Democrats TO keep Cd the fight to
the last. They are encouraged by the fact
that the Democrats are made over the out
RACES perpetrated on them in October, that
they were never more harmonious and de-
termined and that the foreign mauipulators,
such as Dudley, Filley, Plumb and
others, will not be here this time
with their gangs. All parties go into the
fight next week singlehanded. There is no
coalition. Votes will be cast for Cleveland,
Blaine, Butter. LOCKWOOD anu MI. scatter
ing" The Prohibitionists viii be stronger
than last month and Butler viii get more
than twice the vote cast for Herald for secre-
tary of state. These facts, in connection
with the fact that the Independent Republi-
cans may show an unexpected force, lead the
Democratic managers to believe that
il they cast as large a vote
as was given Newman they viii carry
the state for the national ticket. The de-
cision on the Scott law no longer leaves
cause for com plant with large class OF
liberals who supported the Democratic tlcke;
in 1852 and 1853 and lost their heads at the
election last months.
Besides their foreign forces the Bepubli-
cans have not slO4, 600 for the election this
time. It is chance for fair fight and it is
as yetnobody's day in Ohio. The Repuhli-
cans are scared, and their perambulations
and bureau efIusions the past few days have
greatly encouraged the Democratic
workers
