NEW York, November 3.-The Chair
man of the Executive Committee of the
Democratic National Committee speaking
for himselfand associates said: Cleveland
will carry New York, New jersey, Connec-
ticut and Indiana. l think he will also
beat Blaine in California and Nevada.
The New York Democracy is safe enough,
Kelly will keep his promise and see that
he gets a majority Of $4,000 When KEEL
ly says a thing he means it. am sure
that as an organization Tammany will be
faithful. OF course there will individual
treachery, but it will be upon an insignifi-
cant scale. 1t is perfectly safe to predict
a majority of $4,000 in New York, and as
safe to say that Cleveland will leave this
state 40, 600 votes ahead of Blaine"
Mr.. Barnum, chairman of the Nation al
Democratic Committee, said: Il am as
well satisfied that Cleveland will
be the next President as | am
that l am alive at this moment.
Our latest advices convince us that New
Jersey and Connecticut are all right.
The result in this State has ceased to be
an open question. Nothing but wholesale
corruption and Federal bulldozing can
defeat US in Indiana and | doubt whether
the best that the United States Marshals
can do, with the aid Of revolvers of heavy
calibre, be found effective. We are likely
to be reinforced by one and perhaps two
of the Pacific States, and it is not all GER
tain that Wisconsin will not repudiate
the Plumed Knight. New Jersey is
sure; Connecticut surer still. There is
no danger that a Southern State will slip
way this time" The Secretary of the
Independent Republicans says: we
have kept the promises made by the
most sanguine of our speakers. If the
Democrats hold eight per cont of the
votes in this State Cleveland
will have a larger plurality here
than any Presidential candidate ever Ie-
ceiyed before. We see no reasons for
modifying the estimates ~'emanating
from this office. The Republican dlsaf
lection does not fall short of 25 per cent,
and, this does not include the Stalwart
discomfort. In round numbers the di-
verted Republican vote will be l25, 200.
1t has been more specifically figured as
exceeding that BY about eleven
thousand, but round numbers will serve
our purposes to-day. We believe 1901 0o
boilers will vote for Cleveland, while the
remainder will vote for St. John or re-
frain from getting to the polls at all. II
looks bad for Blaine. | don't see how he
is going to win in any of the Northern
States which are essential to his success.
The Republican revolt in Connecticut is
too large to give him.any chance there
You will perhaps be surprised
when | tell YOU that Illinois
is much more likelyto go Democratic thar
Republican. We have between ffteer
and sixteen thousand names on our roll
from that State, and how Republicans ar,
going to overcome such n loss as hat
simply cannot conceive. We have don
very well in New jersey, but not so wei
perhaps as elsewhere. Still, the response
received from that State are sufficient il
number to place the result there substan
tally beyond doubt, especially when yoI
remember that the State is Democratic
