A PRESIDENTIAL ThANKSciv-
ING PROCLAMATION.
SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
The New York Election To-Day

the State may be said to have closed.
The Times says sententiously: 1--WE
have no doubt Of the result" The Sun
says: 1.-THE Democratic Committee look
for 10000 plurality for Hill, and estimate
that the Prohibition vote will be almost as
large as Hills pluEality." Editorially
neither the Tribune nor the World ven
ture on predicting further than that the
result will be close. Correspondents OF
the two journals, however, are widely
apart, the former claiming an easy victory
for Davenport, and the latter q victory for
Hill. The Herald prints two tables OF
probable majorities by counties. Both
are made up by Republicans, one OF which
gives Davenport $3.50 majority mt the
other IL, 600. The Tribune and Times say
betting ia 500 to SIS on Davenport, and
the World, while confessing that these
were figures Of a few days ago, Gays bet
ling is now even. The Tribune says Gov
ernor Hill Is not devoid of humor. To a
friend on Friday he said: Well, what
ever may be the result OF this campaign,
one thing is ersain: the Elmira Gazeste's
Jones Scale Works and the Pleasant VAL
ley Wine Company will never again re-
ceive so much free Advertising IS they
nave received since this campaign began"
