Special Dispatch to the IHteillgReer
New YoRK, Nov. 5.-The preparations
necessary for the election contest which
occurs tomorrow have all been made.
Lines are drawn and the battle will open
with the Republicans confident OF vic
tory. Advices received to-day from all
parts OF the country are of the same
tenor. They indicate that some surpris-
ing results will take place in the most
unexpected quarters. The Democrats
have been doing their utmost to delude
the workingmen with their Free Trade
scheme, but it is evidenced from the
news received here that the working
men have at last got their eyes open to
the true state OF affairs. In this city tits
confidently predicted that Cleveland's
majority will be less than even conserva-
tive Democrats believe.
TIE BITTER INTERNECINE WAR
in this city has.shown its disastrous re-
suits in the last few days. There is
going to be more trading between the
Democratic factions than was ever
known before. The National and State
committees have been doing their best
to stop the fight, but each faction is
going to save itself in local politics at
the expense of the National and in some
instances the State ticket. 1t is whis-
pered around tonight that each
no, - ttyn1,t1 In p,,VNtN1snI
at the polls with Republican electoral
ballots. That these electoral ballots
would be punched with the Democratic
State and faction city tickets, and that
the district managers had received word
to trade Democratic vote. for Repub-
lican electoral ticket wherever a Repub-
liCan vote could be secured for one OF the
factions city ticket. The Democratic
managers got wind OF this scheme early
this evening and have been doing every
thing to prevent its being carried out.
So far their efforts have been without
avail. The leaders ofthe different factions ,
openly state that the election of their
county ticket is of greater importance
to them than the election OF dozen
National tickets. This ugly feeling has
been brought about the orders said to
have eminated from Grover Cleveland.
The Government employees here stand
by Tammany Hall and when the county
Democrats who nominated Cleveland at
Chicago heard OF this they adopted the
only possible scheme TO save their Orga-
nization from extinction. AS the evi-
dence in the possession of the county
Democrats rs to
CLEvELAND's ADVICE
is said TO be very authentic, they
decline to make any change in their
programme, or rather state that there is
no such programme. Ifany monkeying
is going to be done, it will be by the
Tammany men. There was a private
consultation OF the members OF the Ma
tional Committee early to-day and n
committee was appointed to see what
could be done to save the slaughter Of
the National ticket. This Commit
tee has been at work all evening
and the only result reached,
or the only satisfaction received
has been in about the words: eve are
all right. It's the other fellows doings."
Nevertheless there is great deal un-
easiness in Democratic circles tonight.
Where hope existed before it seems to
be now acknowledged that the ticket
will be badly beaten in this State.
Even bets have been made in quiet
way that 81 900 will be the Democratic
plurality over the Republicans in the
city of New York, and that Kings
county won't give
OVER ELEVEN THOUSAND
for the Democratic electoral ticket.
Should this be the result it would mean
the carrying of the State by the Repub-
licans. It is confidently predicted that
