Special Dispatch to TIE EVENING STAR
NEW YORK, October S1.-The virtual close OF
the campaign tonight is not unlike that of q
year ago. There is an absence of the long street
professions this year, but the indoor meetings
have been largely attended, and the interest
and excitement are quite up to fever heat.
Now, as then, the result depends very much
upon the trade Of votes in the New York city
offices for the state ticket But If there Is no
more of 1t this year than last, the democratic
state ticket will probably be elected by q larger
majority than Mr.. Cleveland received in 1884.
On the other hand, If the state ticket ID sacri-

Of the local democratic wings. Governor
Hill will, Of course, not be reelected. But
the Indications, generally, seem to favor the
governor. For some time IL looked as though
the republicans would poll q united vote for
Davenport, but latterly the disaffectfon of the
quarters, while on the other hand and latterly
Gov. Hill has been steadily gaining. 1t looks
now as II he were going to receive most all, IL
not ALL OF the labor vote. The abolition OF con-
vict contract labor and the showing he has just
made of q balance in favor OF the state In the
prison management for the past year, has con-
tributed not a little to possible success. His
promises to favor legislation for municipal re-
form have also helped him. There are no pools
sold on the elections, but the betting is about
even, yith here and there a difference favora-
BILE TO the democratic candidate.

LONDON, October 31.-The parliamentary
struggle is eclipsed for the moment here by tn.
school board election, which may have the
most serious results for the future OF English
education. The vestres have levyine rates,
which are very high already, so that the educa-
ton rate presses hard In addition. The vestries,
therefore. nominated a number OF candidates
pledged 10 reduce expenses by any means, re-
gardless OF the effect upon the standard OF in-
structon. Among them are a number OF Jerry
builders, pledged TO support entirely upon con-
tracts for school sites. Al present one hundred
tenders only are received. Each must be en-
dorsed by two responsible guarantors This is
the only possible protection against jerry build
ers Now the latter aud the vestries have com
bined in a determined attack upon the so-caled
policy OF the board, namely: Good educstion
first and other matters afterwards The strug-
gle is further complicated by the can
didature of several social democrats. One
of these Is n midwife. Altogether Monday
will be a rather momentous day for education
