NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The grand pa
rade of Saturday night, extending into
Sunday morning, never succeeded in
passing the reviewing point as one
body. The mass of torch-bearing Dem
OcratS was too immense, and about L
O'Clock small organizations began to
drop out of the line, as the affair had to
come to an end at some time or other;
but that not less than 100000 paraderS
turned out is certain, and in Brooklyn
the demonstration was by far the great
est in the history of that city. The
statements as to the number in line,
varying from $4,000 to 10000, and the
entirely local character of both demon
strations, is shown by their simultaneous
occurrence. In the Republican process
sion of the afternoon, which, by count,
numbered 14,000 men, there were not
only people from Pennsylvania, Con-
nectlcut and New Jersey, but also a
large contingent from Brooklyn and
from all over Long Island. The Re-
publican display was a parade. OF lm-
ported foreigners marching under con-
tract, and the other a demonstration of
resident citizens of New York and
Brooklyn parading in their own cities
respectively. There is no one who any
longer seriously doubts the result IN
the state of New York. The Harrison
men have stopped betting altogether.
There are 100000 of Cleveland offers
posted in various places
WITHOUT ANY TAKERS. --.s
All day Friday and Saturday there re-
mained bulletin at the produce ex-
change of an offer to bet $4,000, which
elected no response. The closing bets
of SO to 50 and SO to SS were largely
consequences of previous engagements,
and what little real betting the Repub-
licans mustered courage to do was at
the ratio of 81, 900 to 500 on the general
result, and $1,000 to $500 on the state of
New York. New Jersey. given up even
by Dudley in his infamous letter, is not
the subject of betting any more. Re-
publicans all admit that it is dead
sure Cleveland state, while on Con-
necticut the odds are strongly in
favor of the Democrats. So far
as betting is an indication of
public sentiment, the election
as obviously settled in favor of Cleve-
land and Thurmrn and all Democratic
candidates in the state of New York.
AS to the question of plurality in this
state, there are few who now place it
below 10000, while more than ever the
events of the past few days, the tre-
Dudley revelation. the utter dis
cOmfirture of the Republicans on the
eXtraditiOn issue, the ever growing
effect of the presidents rebulle to
foreign interference in the Sackville
case, the actions of many organizations
of the Knights of Labor and other work
ingmen'S associations in denOuncing
Harrison, and many other happenings
equally significant. all point to the con-
clusion that the plurality for Cleveland
in New York will go
BEYOND 10000.
An arrangement has been entered
into regarding the conduct of the cleo
ton of Tuesday, which will give great
comfort and confidence to the Demo
Gratis and Independents of the United
States. The chairman of the national
campaign committee, Col. Brice; MIR.
Murtha, chairman of the Demo
cratic state executive commit
tee; Judge Power. on behalf
of the County Democracy and Commits
sioner Croker on behalf of Tammany
hall have entered into a formal agree
ment placing the direction of affairs at

national and state tickets, in the
hands of committee of gentle
men selected by all of them,
which is to remain in permanent
session at the St. James hotel so long
as the polls are open. This committee
is empowered to instantly remedy any
defects in the working of organization
machinery at the polls, to remove from
charge of any district any person
found incompetent or unfaithful,
to see that the ballots are abso-
act with full authority upon any COM
plants made during the day. This very
important arrangement makes the ac-
ton of the party at the polls on the gen
eral nominations just as much unit as
if there were no local contest. 1t is a
free will agreement, spontaneously sug-
gested and gladly entered into by both
of the great Democratic organizations of
the metropolis. 1t puts an end to all
POSSIBILITY OF TRADING
or other practices. In justice to the
national ticket it will be carried out
vigorously in absolute good faith, if
there were no higher reason, because
no organization of the country and no
subordinate organization of as
sembly or election diatrict would
dare to take the consequences
that would follow remissness.
The most important parts of this agree
ment are as follows: ait is understood
that the managers of the Republican
party have at their disposal for use in
the city OF New York upon election day
very large sum of money. No suSpi-
cion attaches to either of said local
organizations as to their fealty to
the Democratic party, and no fear
is entertained that either organization
would connive at any treachery to the
national or state ticket. Recognizing,
however, that extraordinary tempta-
tions are likely to be held out, that the
strife of candidates for local Offices is
unusually great, and that extraordinary
precautions are prudent. and perhaps
necessary under the circumstances,
the national committee has perfected
arrangements for the instant detection
of any treachery to the state or national
tickets. Representatives of the state
and national committee and of each of
said local organizations will be in ses-
sion
AT ALL TIMES.
on election day at the ST. James hotel

sentatives every polling place in New
York. who will be in telegraphic COM
munication with the committee at the st.
