the prospects that two Of thazkfectoTs
will be Democrats are ilcreasipgS II this
comes SPOUT Is will be ono CT the results
O! the deal between the Union Lsbor
party aud the Republicans. Colonel
Cay arranged with Coogsn and his fol-
loW5rs that the Republican national CON-
mittee would supply the q u Or Part OF the
fund used In the Labor campaign, and thst
In return tie Lsho- party should support
Warner Miller for governor. and that
they should run out Republican electors
with Colonel Coogen and the Labor candi-
date for coroner. The electoral ticket
given out by the Labor party includes the
names OF the thirty four Republican elect
ors, with the names of ths two Lsbor
elecsors-Gt-Iarge ct the head. James
R,dpath, the Irish sgitator snd writer,
Aesded the labor electoral ticket, end
his name was retsined on the ticket, which
had the nanes OF thirty four Republican
electors below the two Labor elecsoTs-at-
large, so that the Labor people,
who were not cogntzsns Of the
deals, seeing James Estpath's nsme
at the head Of the ticket, would
think was real CowdreY ticket and vote
it. Many Of them did so, SIS is shown by
the fact that the straight CoWdre7 cleo
torai ticket polled only 1899 votes n this
city, while Coogsp, the Labor candidate
for mayor, had almost 10, coo Besides
these there were some members of the
Labor party who would not vote Tor
CoogEu for mayor, bit WHO voted tbs
combination Republican and Labor else
torAl ticket. The result OF this may be
tbGt Oswald ettendorfer, proprietor Of
the StaRts- Zs tunG and Wilson S Bissell,
the presidents cid chum, VINO headed
the Democratic ticket es electors
as-lGrge, may be elected by small
plurality. According to the lstest re-
turns Hsrrison's plurality within the
state is lsss than 1900. The Labor
party III this state polied over 70 Gee votes
last fall, II bat oEe~aflh OF thig number
voted the combination Hedpsth and r..
publican electoral ticket the two Demo-
cratic slec!oTs-ss-lIrge will wiz. Such
division OF tho electoral vote Of this state
cannot be recalled by any politician. The
electoral vote Of Califorxis ia 1880 was
divided, and there is no reason why, ua-
der this lSbor combination with the Re-
pubIcRns, tairty-four votes out OF New
York's thirty~six will MOI bs cast fer
Cleveland. The csnvsss CT the state, as
reported, has been made, taking the bulk
Of the electors ss basis, and the votes
given &c CoWdrey in the newspaper est.
mstes have been those voted for the
strsight United Labor electoral ticket.
The existence OF such divergence be-
MNeeu the vote OF Seward, who headed
the Rspu 9liGsn ticket, sBd the thirty four
electors further down the ticket, proves
the deal between Colonel Q1Ry and the
Labor party, by which, In return for hiE
paying John &cAsckil and other labohI
leaders gpd By working on the vanity 40
economies habits Of COOgsn, he was Eole
to GET the LSbor vote for Harrison. q
