Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journaa-
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE preparations necss-
sary for the election contest which occurs to-
morrow have all been made. The lines are
drawn and the battle will open with the
Republicans confident Of victory. Advices
received to-day from all parts of the country
are Of the same tenor. They indicate
that some surprising results will take
place in the most unexpected quarters. The
Dem mocrats have been doing their utmost to de-
lude the workingmen with their free-trads
scheme. but 1t Is evidenced from the news re-
csved here that the workpgmsn have at last got
their eyes open to the true state of affairs. In
this city it 10 confidently predicted that
Clevelsnd's majority will be much less than
even conservative Democrats believe. The Bit
ter internecine In this city has shown its dis
astrous results 10 the last few days. There is
going to bs more trading between the
Democratic factions than was ever known
before. The national and State committees have
been doing their best to stop the fcht, but each
faction Is going to save itself In local politics 81
the expense OF the national aud 10 some in
stances, the State ticket 1t Is whispered around
tonight that each Democratic faction would
be supplied at the polls with Republican elector-
al ballots; that these electoral ballots would DO
punched with the Democratic State and faction
city tickets, and the district man
ayers had received word to trade
q Democratic vote for Republican

could be secured for one Of the factions city
ticket The Democratic managers got wind OF
this scheme early this morning aud have been
doing everything to prevent its being carried
ous So far. their efforts have been
without avail. The leaders Of the different fac
tions openly state that the election Of their
county ticket 10 Of greater Importance to them
than the election Of q dozen national tickets.
This ugly feeling has been brought about
through orders said TO have emanated from
Grover Cleveland. The government employees
here stand By Tsmmany Hall, and when the
County Democracy. who nominated Cleveland at
Chicago, heard of this. they adopted the
only possible scheme 10 save their
organization from extinction. The evidence

Clevslands advice is said to be very authentic

gramme, or, rather. state that there is no
such programme. II any "monkeyingu is
going to be done, it win be by the
Tammany men. There was q private
consultation Of the members of the national
committee, early to-day, and @ committee was
appointed to see what could be done
to save the slaughter OF the national
ticket This committee has been at work
all evening, and the only result reached,
or the only satisfaction received. has been
in about these words: I'VE are all right" "I,s
the other fellows doings" Nevertheless, there
is a great deal of ubeasiness in Democratic
circles tonight. Where hope existed before IL
seems to be now bleak. aud the ticket will be
badly beaten in this State. Even bets have
been made In a quiet way that 81 900 will be
Democratic plurality over the Republicans In
the city of New York. and that Kings county
won't give over 1l.000 for the Democratic elect

mean the carry ING of the State by the Republic
ans. as it is confidently predicted that their
ticket will come to ,be Harlem river with be-

the Repu blicsn ticket plurality between IL, 900

deal of betting in Wan street to- dag. and one
wager OF $40, 900, even, was made and covered
that Harrison would be elected.
Mr.. Bsrnum has gone to his home In Con-
nec,lcut to vote. Senator Quay will not go
home to vote. Such turbulent crowds gathered

headquarters, tonight, about O'Clock, shouting
wildly for Cleveland and Harrison at different
and the same times, and bsrating each other.
