THE DOUBTFUL STATES.

VI
One of Them.
NEW YORK, November 5th.-Mr. Blaine
says: There is 10 doubt of our success
The spirit of that demonstration of Satur-
day is but an indication of the spirit which
animates Republicans all over the State. y
Expressions like the above could be multi.
piled, but it is useless. Every word OF
every Republican presages victory, and the
parade Saturday has had its effect alike
upon Republicans and Democrats. The
latter are downcast but hopeful. There
have been preparations made to cut off all
attempts at fraud on the part of the Dem.
ocrats, and unless some trick not suspected
is sprung upon the Republicans, there can
be no doubt of the result of tomorrow
election. The Republicans have been fore.
warned of trick where Republican tickets
have been counterfeited and several of the
electors names have been taken off and
those of the Democraticelectors substituted
THE OUTLOOK IN CONNECTICUT.
NEW HAVEN, November 5th.-The Re.
publican managers in Connecticut have
completed mastery canvas and figure ou,
a majority for Harrison of from 1000 to
5000 in poll of 10000. In this they give
the Prohibitionists 5000, which is an in
crease of 500 over their vote cast four wears
ago, an increase which the canvas scarcely
warrants. Sam Fessenden, Blaine's old
henchman and Chairman of the National
Committee in 1884. saws he is sure that the
Republicans will retain rs per cent. of the
Irish vote which was last time cast for
Blaine, and this only adds to the total.
He expects to give Harrison q plurality in
the State nearer 5000 than 1900 He saws
the tariff issue will net them 1000 Demo
cratic votes in the manufacturing centers.
In the Democratic ranks there is fight
against Barnum and his candidate for Gov
ernor. The pickering in the ranks of the
Democracy, the tariff detection, the revolt
against the ring. the retention of the Blaine
Irish vote by the Republicans give an as
surance that Connecticut is safe for Har-
rison and Morton.
NEW JERSEY SEEMS TO BE SAFE
WASHINGTON, November 5th.-William
Walter Phelps says of New Jersey: 81
have been continuously oa the stump in
New Jersey for more than a month past,
and consequently know almost nothing
personally of political matters outside OF
that State. From all that | have seen.
however, and all that l can gather, there
can be no doubt of the success of Harrison
and Morton. New Jersey is the only
doubtful State, and the chances there are
decidedly favorable for the Republicans.
| have the utmost confidence in the result,
SO far as the State Legislature is concerned.
We shall have that certainly. New Yorks
majority tor Harrison will startle some OF
those Democrats who have been putting I'D
their money so freely"
BOTH CLAIM INDIANA
INDIANAPOLIS, November 9th. - Both
headquarters of the two great political par
ties positively claim the State and both
''last polls" show pluralities for either
party, ranging from 5000 to 1900. The
Republicans have undoubtedly gained
strength during the past week. The Pro-
hibition vote will be a quarter less than
it would have been one week ago. The
tactics of the Democrats to ALLEVIATE the
labor vote have not been successful, and
the two parties will get an equal share of
it. The most accurate election statisticians
in the country predict Republican vic
tory.
IN WEST VIRGINIA.
WHEELIEG. November 5th.-The vote in
West Virginia promises to surprise the
Democrats outside of the State The Demo-
Gratis hope to give the electoral vote to
Cleveland, and, possibly, save all the State
ticket, but they privately concede the Gov
ernor and the Legislature to the Repub-
licans.
THE OLD DOMINION.
ALEXANDRIA, November 9Th. Il have
good reason to believe the majority for
Harrison and Morton in Virginia will be
from 1000 to 10000, and FIVE or six Repub-
lican members of Congress will be chosen.
