NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Elaborate arrange
ments have been made for collecting the
Presidential vote election night. In New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania tie re-
turns will be collected by the Associated
Press alone. In all other States, the work
will be done by the Associated Press and
Western Union Telegraph Company acting
together. In all States except Ohio, the vote
will be compared with the Presidential vote
of 1884. In Ohio the comparison will be
made with the vote for Governor in 1887. A
complete re-districting of the State makes
comparison with the vote Of 1884 impracti-
cable. Returns of New York city will be
collected by O'Rourke's City Press Associa-
tion. No comparisons can be made in the
general bulletins, as many polling districts
have been sub-divided since 1884, but COM
parison with the vote OF 1884 will be made by
assembly districts as fast as these are fully
reported

AS Cleveland Treated SackvilIe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Chauncey NJ. Depew
has discovered new reason why Republi-
cans should calmly prepare themselves for
the happy realization of their hopes for sue
cess on Tuesday. 1t was absolutely certain
before the Sackyille letter appeared that
Grover Cleveland would have a tremendous
Irish vote cast against him. When the
Murchison correspondence was published
there could be no doubt of large conse-
quent increase of this Irish nti-Cleveland
vote. But since the summary "sack" of
Sackville by the ungrateful Grover, it is toll
erably certain that the votes which the DEM
ocratic Presidential candidate will CLEAN
from among the warm-hearted Irishmen will
be few indeed. Mr.. Depew presented this
gratifying and encouraging aspect of the
situation to reporter yesterday in these
words:
81 got very delightful and novel view of
the Sackville incident from an Irishman up
In the country. He said that he was going
to vote against Mr. Cleveland because
Cleveland had gone back ON his friend Sack
vile; that he would never vote for a man
VINO treated in such a way his friend, who
wanted to help him. Lord Sackyille receives
letter from an American citizen. who was
British subject. The theory of making an
American citizen Is that after naturalization
ne becomes precisely the same as If he had
been born here. This citizen, however,
shows that his naturalization was not for the
purpose OF becoming assimilated with the
country OF his adoption, but from the inside
to help the mother country.
1T was on Lillipution scale sort of an
English Trojan horse. Now, he asked the
British minister, after he got inside the
the lid and get out, so as TO open the gates
Tor the besieging army of British manufac-
turers. 1t was impossible for Lord Sackyille
to answer that letter without either declining
TO express an opinion, or else expressing an
opinion which would be favorable to one
side or the other in this Presidential can
Vass. Ii the many thousands of Englishmen
who are naturalized voters belonged to an
organization, and this letter writer had
Deen thelt spokesman and voiced their SEN
timents, the answer of the British minister
would have determined their votes, and
might possibly have settled the election.
Inc whole point, however, in the matter
is not the genuineness of the letter to the
minister. but the answer of Lord Sackville
expressing as 1t does. in diplomatic form, the
substantially unanimous FEELING of the
British public, which becomes of the greatest
interest in contest where one of the main
questions at issue is whether the English
manufacturer believes that the success of
Mr.. Cleveland and his tariff policy will
inure enormously to his benefit, in enabling
MIN successfully to compete in our markets
against our OWE manufacturers. So far as
our government is concerned, the only re-
markaDle discovery is that it took the ad-
mlnistration two weeks to find out the stu
atlon, or In other words to take the position
which has lost to them the vote of the Irish
friend"
Republican Hosts In Line.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Republican bus
mess mems parade this afternoon was one of
the grandest, and, in point of numbers, the
largest demonstration of the present cam
paign. The day dawned with a lowering
sky. and as the morning wore on the indca-
tions that the day would be rainy became
more pronounced, and finally, shortly after
10 o'clock fine rain began falling This
condition of the weather did not in the least
dampen the enthusiasm Of the Republican
business men as was fully attested by the
large numbers that participated in the pa
rade. Long before the appointed, hour for
the start, p. M, the lower part Of the city
was alive with deputations headed by bands
playing martial and campaign airs, marching
ana eountermarehing toward the starting
point, Wall and William streets, and the
streets converging thereon. Delegations
from this and many parts of the adjoining
States arrived early to take part in the mon
ster demonstration. The first to arrive was
the American Club. from Pittsburg. They
arrived shortly after nine o'clock, and, head
ed by a band Of sixty pieces, marched from
Courtlandt street ferry to Broadway and up
broadway to the place assigned them. The
ciuD presented a fine appearance, and they
were luStlly applauded on all sides for their
neatness and fine marching. For an hour
peIore the start, Wall street, William street,
sowing Green, and, in fact, all the streets
pelow wall, from river to river, and extend
lng 70 the battery, were jammed with the
thither to witness the formation of the pro-
cession. Scores of banners bearing all sorts
Oh m0ttOS and Inscriptions, laudatOry of the
IIesiuentlal, State and county tickets, were
displayed. All along the route various cam
tSa pSalgn ciles i. were frequently uttered. Among
them: No, no, no free trade. No red BAN

week IKE bursted balloon" These cries
Drought forth cheers and plaudits from the
crowds which lined both sides of broadway,
and at many points the enthusiasm was un-
bounded. Some of the organizations dis
played old battlefags, and these were greet
ed at numerous points along the line with
mingled cheers and Kisses.
