eve of the Presidential election.
Everybody and everything seems to
be,in an eternal tiutter. As | write,
the big Republican parade of the
season, as we'll as the last, is passing
below my window IN fine DR. zzling
rain. 1t is a big demonstration, but
no,hiug to the great Democratic pa
rade that will take place to night.
One thing. certainly, We have to be
thankful for in a sense is that after
Tuesday, if there is anything left OF
our ears, we may put them to some
use beside taking in all the drums
beating and horn blowing and general
racket of these political demonstra-
tions. There are probably $4,000
men in line in the Republican pro-
cession. The Democrats claim that
they will be able to muster 10000 to-
night.
It is too late now to do any guess
ing or specializing You will proba>
bly know the result by the time you
have occasion to use This letter. As
3 matter Of record though, the Demo-
Gratis are more enthusiastic and conf
dent now than ever. Nothing but
the wholesale slaughter of the
National ticket BY the trading ofvotes
can impair the chances ola magnih-
cent victory in this city and Sta e.
II such treachery be resorted to, il
will b. a deathkuell Of the organ'za-
ton which tolerates it, but nothing
of the sort is apprehended. There
has been one feeling of uneasiness
over the fact that sile immense in
crease Of the registration has not been
adequately met by an increase OF
polling places. II is possible that
some votes may be last fir m lack OF
tina TO poll them; but at the most
only a few hundred can be disfranch
ised. The Democratic managers
have taken every precautioa to pro
vent such a thing. Individual Dem
ocratic voters have been served with
circulars urging them to be present
at the voting places early in the day
The crush during the past few
evenings in the lobbies of the up
town hotels has been something tre-
mendous. These are the great
betting centers Tens Of thousand:
of dollars are posted By enthusiastic
partisans every night. 1t is estimate
that on Monday and Tuesday nigh
one million dollars will be put up il
election bets within a radius of s
quarter Of a mile from a given pOin
in this city. Cleveland holds tbs
call in the odds to the last.
Politics has so completely dwarfet
every other topic that there is moth
ing else going on worth speaking
about. A triiing advertisement va
