NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The national
Democratic committee has received this
morning very full reports from nearly
every state in which a serious contest is
made against the Democratic preSiden-
.tial and vice presidential nominees.
These advices are of uniformly assur-
ing character, and so great is the local
confidence they display that they indi
cate majority for Cleveland and Thur
man in the electoral college of not less
than 100 votes. The committee does not
itself claim so great victory, but
it is certain that the election of Cleve-
land and Thurman is assured, and that
the Democrats will carry more states
than they did in 1884, and will have
majority of all the popular vote exceed
ing that given to Tilden and Hendricks
in 1876. The efforts of the Republican
managers to create the impression that
they are going to control the election by
the disreputable contrivanceS to which
they are proven to have reSOrted,
are utterly baseleSS. In every state
and geographical subdivision of states
where the Republicans have attempted
to improperly manipulate the election
machinery, the federal law officers are
active and vigilant. ConSpirators
against the suffrages are known. War
rants for them are in the hands of the
proper authorities and there is no
chance whatever for the success of any
general scheme of fraud. The publica-
tion of the Infamous Dudley letter was
in itself enough to defeat the
PLOT TO BUY INDIANA.
and bulldoZe New York. The Demo-
throughout by brilliant success, and
the Republican only by pitiable fail
ureS. The Democratic managers be-
lieYe with perfect confidence that the
people are on the side of Cleveland and
Thurman, and will pronounce an over
Whelming verdict for good federal gov
ernment under the principal direction
of those two eminent Americans. AS
to the city of New York, the effect of
the agreement published this morning
will be not only to prevent by
wrongdoing or errors by bad or weak
men, nOminally enlisted to serve the
Democracy, but also to insure unity of
action against the Republican vioators
of the law. A plurality is expected in
the city of New York for Cleveland and
Thurman of not less than 65.00O and
in the state of New York of not less
than $4,000. Michigan and Illinois are
likely to take their places in the Demo-
cratic column, and there are strong
hopes that other Western states
will keep them company and
that the voice of patriotism from the
electors of the West will be answered
by an equally loud response from East
ern states hitherto Republican. The
committee has not a particle of doubt of
Democratic victory in the states of
Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana,
and is sure that there is no foundation
whatever for the claim made by the Re-
publicans to carry any one of the slates
of Delaware, North Carolina, Ten
neSSee, Virginia or West Virginia. 1t
is expected that everywhere the cleo
tion will be peaceful, and full vote
freely polled, ending in q magnificent
TRIUMPH FOR DEMOCRACY
by the Endorsement of the wise, pure
and patriotic administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland. Senator Arthur P. Cor
man said tonight: looking at the
whole case L am perfectly confident
that Cleveland will receive at least as
large an electoral vote as in 1854
There may be radical changes
in localities, and there are such
changes in both parties, but l
have no doubt that our pluralities in the
four severely contested states will be
much larger than four years ago. The
attempt to single out electors in the
state of New York shows TO what des-
perate courses our opponents are driven
and how little confidence they really
have in their own strength" !" Arthur
Sewell, national Democratic committee
man from Maine, said: II know that
we are going to win. My own indi-
Vidual Judgment is that we
ore sure of New York, New Jersey,
Indiana and two Western states. The
decision rendered by Judge Lawrence
this afternoon, in the supreme court
defeats one of Quay's schemes to i'm
pede the vote in New York. 1t has been
contended that voter could 20 to a
polling place, vote for part of the candi-
dates in nomination and return later
and vote again. In crowded districts
such practice conld be taken
advantage of TO prevent the
polling of full vote. Judge
Lawrence holds that, under the laws
as they are, voter must exercise his
suffrage at one time. This will render
it entirely easy for the full vote of every
district in town to be polled. Hon.
John p. Irish, of the San Francisco
Alta, says: ''In reference to the out
look, | have information from the
Alta office stating positively that the
Democrats will carry California;
Indiana is sure to go Democratic. A
most nefarious scheme to carry this state
for Harrison has been discovered, which
is par with the other corrupt method
OF the PhiladelLha gang hitherto at
