NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-There need not
be any apprehensions that there will be
any substantial loss of votes in New
York through the large numerical vote
of election districts. 1t is true in some
parts of the town the growth of the
population has been so rapid that the
equalization of the districts every
two years has proved insufficient
to meet the emergency, but
such polling places are few in number
and in the large election districts ar
rangements are always made TO poll the
vote very rapidly. For example, in the
Eleventh election district of the Twenty
third assembly district 600 votes have
been polled without any difficulty what
ever. Democratic headquarters, both
local, state and national, will take special
pains to accelerate the vote in the large
districts, and the Republicans will be
powerleSs to block them, as no paltering
will be tolerated either by the local
authorities or by the United States
marshals. Moreover. whatever small
number of votes may be lost will be
about equally divided between the two
parties, as the Republicans are strong
in the largest new districts and the
Democrats are very much better as early
risers and early voters than their oppo
nentS. The proposition for an extra
session of the legislature to amend the
law so that many precincts can be ere
ated is ill-adviSed, inasmuch as by the
constitution the governor is required to
give ten days notice of an extra SeS-
sion, and even had he called one last
week the Republicans would, of course,
have managed to delay the enactment
of any statute. Four years ago
THERE WAS A GREAT OUTCRY
about the same matter, and yet the en-
tire registered vote of the city was
polled within fraction of less than 5
per cent. The Republicans have very
little hope of carrying the state of New
York. They are merely keeping up
bold front and trusting to luck,
with the hope that Dragging
about what they are going
to do here may save the
them from disaster somewhere else and
prevent any loss of state legislatures
and United States senators if not the
presidency. One of their most intiuen-
close in his intimacy with the Republi-
can presidents since the war, and who
has occupied very high position in
the government OF this state,
said this afternoon: I'VE were
in mighty bad way until that Sackville
thing turned up. We are going to work
it for all it's worth, and see what it will
do. We are little disappointed to-day
in the indications. People don't seem
to take seriously to second edition of
the Burchard business, and if that
doesn't save US
THE JIG is UP"
The fact is that the idea of Burchard
made to order and kept locked up in a
closet for six weeks before being
allowed to speak his little speech, does
not go down with any one. The
strength of the Burchard revela-
prise and sincerity of it. That
Blaine should assist TO such
a declaration was, indeed, a revelation,
and revelations are not made to order.
The present Republican Burchardism is
neither sincere nor a surprise. 1t is
simply badly put-up job in the eyes of
every one, and moreover, sagaciOus men
know that the American people are
never carried off by the same
sensation twice" "0h, we have heard
all that before,'' is enough to kill any
proposition, and seems to be startlingly
true of this final trick of Republican
desperation. All that is said all around
is: "Oh, that old dodge again." How
it may turn out for the laundering Brit
ish minister is another question that
few day will settle. Secretary Fair
child Is here to-day, looking ruddy
and vigorous after his tour through the
states. Asked about the Sackville in
cident he laughingly replied that he
could only repeat what he said to his
night, that he did not believe the
American. people were going to
give up their own election and
ask the foreign minister at Washington
to choose the president for them. Such
a meeting would save good many per-
SONS much trouble, but our voters are
not likely to take kindly to it. Maj.
John Byrne. who accompanied John
Boyle O'Reilly and Gen. Collins in their
call upon the president, was asked
to-day if the report to Lon
don regarding what passed be-
tween the president and Messrs.
O'Reilly and Collins, in relation to the
British minister, was correct. He said
IL was NOT. Inc preSlueHI ulu DOI. say
what he had done in the matter, but
that all that was necessary in the prem
ises had been done and he was satisfied
that it would meet the approval
of the American people. We called
on the president in relation to the ex-
tradition treaty having, after long pur-
suit, found the facts. l invited Mr..
OReilly and Gen. Collins and others
here for conference. The presidents
presence suggested the
PRoPRIETY OF A CALL
to advise him what we propose doing to
vindicate our people and protect the
people of Ireland with whom we SYM
pathized against peril imminent in
december under Republican control.
The Boston Pilot of Wednesday will
give the full results of our investigation
and conference and will explain what
| don't care to discuss. One thing l
wish to say. Mr.. O'Reilly and Gen.
Collins were in my company every min
ute they were in New York, and L know
they did not see or communicate with
newspaper men, so that the London re-
port must have been without founda-
ton.
