NEW YORK. November A. special. IL
the present weather continues there u very
little reason 10 doubt but that close on 10
2u0.OOO votes will be pOlled tomorrow:
There was GOOD deal Of speculation and
figuring going on as to what the vote would
be and how il would he divided. Chamber
lain Croker was busy figuring to-day on
possible results. and said that he beliesed
every man on the Tammany county ticket
would be elected by 10000 majority. Mayor
Grant said: II do not see that there Is any
chance for the defeat Of the Tammany ticket.
II should be and willibe, think, elected !;
for it is q sound Democratic ticket from
top 10 bottom
BETTING oN THE ELECTION
is brisk and already some stiff sums have
been put up. There is even money that the
Democratic state and the Tammany county
ticket will be elected. One thousand To
eight hundred can be had in any amounts
that the Tammany county ticket would be
elected by 5000 majority.
ME TOO PLATT Al WORK.
MFR. Platt is working as hard to get two
thirds Of the next Assembly as he Is 10 get
twO-thirds in the next Senate, though he Is
more particular about the senator's, as they
have 10 vote for the next United states
Senator. But he wants the Assemblymcn,
too. To pass bills over the Governors veto
he must have two-thirds majority. AS he
cannot make the gains i'm the country dis
tricts. he hopes to make them in New York
through combinations and Democratic dis
sensiOns.
BOODLE TO BE USED.
4 high city official stated to-day that the
Republican and county Democracy combi-
nation is not relying altogether on the
strength of the coalition for success. y
large amount of money. he said, Is being
put into the canvass for county Democracy
and Republican legislative and aldernanic
nominees. and will be used without stint to-
morrow. and furnished by the elevated rail-
road and the subway interests for the pur-
pose Of controlling legislation. The elevated
railroad is desiriOus of extending It's fran
chises and gobbling up more Of the clty's
propertv. and its officers know that Tam
many won't allow it to do so II 1t can pre-
vent it, II is also known that Mayor
Grant rs anxious TO have the present
subway laws amended so that the
work Of getting the deadly wires under
ground may progress more rapidly. ana
Tammany Hall legislators would help him
TO this end. Such legislation would be
AGAINST the interests Of the present >ubwVs
Company. and these are as
serted 10 be the reasons why so much
money is being put into the canvass to de
feat Tammany.
