NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Tne canvass in New
York state is closed and it only remains
now to write the verdict of the polls. No
more active campaign has been made in
this state since the last presidential con-
test The Prohibitionists and Socialists
contended themselves with making. nomi-

with unremitting zeal. Tlelr orators have
been constantly on the stump, every inch
of ground has been contested with an ardor
born of the conviction that success or de-
feat carries with it an influence potent for
good or evil in the
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF 1892.

and on entire harmony in the party. War

cordiality. Cleveland has given the con-
troversy what little color it received. He
insisted upon the necessity of holding New
