THE HARLEM WITH A BIG VOTE.

FAssErT AND HIS TICKET WILL COME DOWN TO
THE HARLEM WITH BIG VOTE.
Only one week remains Of campaign which has
been carried on actively and aggressively by the ho
nubllcan party From the time the Rochester Col-
vention nominated Jacob Sloat Fassett' John W.
vrooman and the rest Of the ticket, not DAY LOT an
hour has passed that has not been devoted oy lle
Republicans Of this state to the purpose OF bringing
about the ultimate success Of the ticket. Inc can
yass has been admirably managed and although the
work Of the State Committee not apparent tor
many days, the last days Of the canvass plainly snow
how much has been accomplished. The Republicans
Of the state are aroused. Their enthusiasm WHICH
has been at fever heat from the beginning, Is now
hotter than ever 1t has led them to register and
made them anxious to VOTE and there has not been
sign Of break in the ranks Of the party from
Montauk Point to Lake Erie it presents one solid 'front.'
and the Democratic Bureau of Fiction Is In despair
over its search for Republicans who have said they
would vote for Flower. With united party the Re
publlcans have never failed carry the State This
condition of political affairs has had the effect Of
stimulating the confidence the Republican managers
have felt from the beginning in the final success OF
their canvass
1t must not be supposed, however, that the Re-
publican State Committee has devoted all Of It's time
and energy getting the Republicans of the State
aroused and interested in the campaign That was
comparatively an easy task, for the Republicans of
this state have realized from the time that Flower was
nominated at Saratoga that the good government Of the
State threatened. The great work Of the COM
mttee has been TO defeat the plans and schemes Of the
Democrats fIauduenty to elect the Tammany Hall
candidates. False registration Of votes, colonization of
foreign element and Illegal naturalization
have BEEN attempted by the INSCRIPTIONS managers
of Mr. Flowers campaign. Though a large number Of
these infamous schemes have been detected Tammany
has had much experience in perpetratng frauds of
this kind that 1t is possible that many have
.1,rfI,, 1t tha Dan hIiaop
1t is here In New-York that Tsmmany hopes 10
carry the State. OF course attention has been given
to tho interests Of the party in the Interior Of the
State Democratic money has BEEN sent in enormous
to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse Elmira. Troy
and Albany. 1t has been used to keep voters who
were inclined to vote for Fassett from registering.
This of trlblng has been dc
tected in many instances by Republican
watchers. The effect has not been damaging, for
ports received by the State Committee from 1000
sources Friday and Saturday indicate beyond all
controversy that the Republican vote in the country
been registered, and that there has been increase
IN registration, instead Of "a falling off, in many OF
the cities and large towns in the interior. All Of these
evidences give the members OF the State Committee
assurances Of positive for Fassett and Vrooman
by easy majority.
The Democrats on the other hand correspondingy
confident They concede, with some show Of generos-
lty that Fsssett and VroOman will not be beaten by
more than 10000 They assert with bravado that
Flower will go to Harlem Bridge with majority of
$4,000. 1t Is evident that Flowers managers are
depending upon the strength of Tammany Hall. That
association 1t true, better organized now than it
has been before, but 1t does not include all the
Democrats Of Now York City nor the sulen and
surly" Democrats of Kings County. Tsmmany IS now
reckoning the majority Of these " suen and sury"
supporters OF its ticket to give large majority that
county.
The Democratic committeeman also assert that Erie
County will give Flower and Sheehan majority OF
1900, but less sanguine Democrats say Fassett
and VroOman will carry it by good majority. In
Monroe County the Democrats cOncede that the Re
publicans Will carry it, but by no such majority
$500. They do not rise to explain, however, how
they expect to reduce these figures, inasmuch
the local managers have practically abandoned the
contest It is in Chemung County, the home Of
Mr. Fassett, and also Of David B. Hill, that
the Democrats hope TO gain. They now
combining their forces 10 get majority
there of at least 600. In Herkmer County the home
OF John W. Vrooman, these ready calculaors' are
estimating that the Democrats Will be victorious. III
Washington and ST. Lawrence counties they count on
gaining, by OF alleged dlsafecton against the
nomination OF Senator Ewin. This might also be said
OF Chautauqua and Cataraugus counties, which have
been represented in the senate by senator yedder IN
1889 his majority 5000. In Albany there is little
to said by the Democrats, except that they are trust
ing to d. Csdy Herrick to pull up some phenomenal
majority The Democrats Will be extremely fortunate
il they get normal majority. The faction represented
by D. Cady Herck, il IS true is in the majority, but
ii is antagonzed by bitter minority. However, any
losses the Democrats sustain In other parts OF tile
state will be made up by the vote which Mr. Flower
survey OF the Democratic situation shows that the strength
OF their candidate lies within the threshold OF the
wig,gam OF Tammany Hall. outside OF the city OF
New York he has not developed strength. No Repub
licans have been attracted to him, and even here In
ocratic quarters when the returns come In on election
night.
