MORE ABOUT NEW YORK.
The State Conceded by All Fair
Minded Correspondents.

ALBANY, Nov. 5.-All of the fair-minded
correspondents who have travelled through
the State concede it to Harrison by hand
some majority, and the well-informedD Dem
ocrats who will talk confdentially upon the
subject say that Cleveland is defeated.
Among the advantages Harrison has over
Cleveland, these may be briefly noted: The
manufacturers show great gains, especially
in those lines which are affected by the tar
if.
AT the opening Of the campaign no gains
were expected from the farms, but there are
thousands Of votes awaiting Harrison from
those farmers whose produce of various
kinds is affected by the Mills bill. In 1884
the commercial travellers were largely for
Cleveland, but safe estimate is that four
fifths of them are for Harrison now. There
Is an unusually large number of first voters
this year, and by careful estimate nine
tenths Of them are Republicans.
The u. A. X. reports large accessions to
Harrison on account Of Cleveland's vetoes
Of pension bills and his order relative to the
rebel flags. The Democrats early in the
campaign counted on the return of all the
Blaine lrishmen to their side, but inquiry
shows that large proportion Of them win
vote for Harrison and that the number In
Rochester and other parts has increased
rather than diminished. In the city of New
YORK the Hebrews, who were almost solid
for Cleveland four years ago, are now for
Harrison for some reason that is not yet ex-
planned.
The Sackville matter has already turned a
large number of voters over from the DEM
ocraey, part OF them being angry at what
Sackyille said, and another part being angry
because the administration treated Saekyflle
as It did. There is a .revulsion of feeling
against sending Congressman from the
South into this State to tell the farmers and
manufacturers how they should vote. In
and about the city OF Buffalo the opposition
TO Cleveland is so great that he will lose
something like 5000 votes because he has
shown no more interest in the city and be-
cause he has made bad appointments. The
Buffalo editor who did the most for Cleve-
land in that campaign, has done the most
editor in Rochester who did work for Cleve-
land in Buffalo in 1884.
Many instances are known where Demo-
Gratis have asked for Republican electoral
ballots to be given them quietly on Monday
Tor themselves and their friends, because
they do not wish to announce publicly what
they will do. The contest between Miller
and Hill for governor runs close, but the out
look for Miller is better every hour.
The generalization at Democratic head
quarters is shown by the desperation of the
tactics planned in these closing days of the
campaign. Bogus ballots have been printed
by the millions. Repraters have been
brought here from Maryland with such no.
torlous men as Higgins at their head. 1t has
been arranged to send these men through
the State wherever they can be used to vote.
In Brooklyn and in some other cities efforts
have been made to corrupt Republican in
spectors, and the boldest and most audacious
schemes known since the days of Tweed
nave been deliberately planned by the Demo-
cratic managers to carry this State
In spite OF all these efforts New York will
be Republican. You can set it down that
the Republican vote in this city will be over
100000 probably nearer 10000 than 105. 600,
and that the Democratic plurality in New
York, conceding everything that is claimed.
VIII not exceed $4,000. In Kings county the
highest figures will not give more than IL. 600
Democratic plurality. No one estimates the
Republican plurality above Harlem bridge
at less tnan $4,000. Many believe it will be
nearly $4,000, and some put it at 100, 900. The
most careful canvass, with full allowance
male for possible changes, shows q Repub-
ticket.
:, General Barnum has gone to his home in
90 home to vote. Such turbulent crowds
gathered In front of the Republican and
Democratic State headquarters tonight at
about O'Clock shouting wildly for Cleveland
and Harrison at different and the same
times and berating each other, that sixty Off
GERS were ordered out and the street cleared
to prevent riot.
Nothing seemed to be doing at the Repub-
lican headquarters tonight. The managers
expressed full confidence in victory to-
morrow. At the Democratic headquarters
similar confidence was shown. Campaign
work was closed by circular to the voters
declaring that the Democrats have a sure
thing If full vote is cast.
James j. Coogan, the United Labor party's
candidate for mayor, claims he has been Of
fered 100000 to withdraw, but declines to
give the name of the briber. He publishes
faring cards in the papers, however, saying
nothing buG death can take him out Of the
cnntact
