battle ground has been decidedly unique
Never have greater interests. from the

Worlds Fair and Tammany.
SYou lost the Worlds fair!n cried the
Democrats. "Ware the Tauimauy I'll
gerp replied the Republicans. National
issues have not been prominent, although
every body understands that the result of
this election may decide the presidential
contest next year. The situation is not
without other novel aspects We
beho,d Grover Cleveland and George
William Curtis, the New York
Times and the Evening Post arrayed
on opposite sides. The contest presents
every indication of uncertainty.
The reports are so conflicting and the is
sues and interests so diverse that those
best informed hesitate about making an
unprecedented prediction.
Work of the Leaders.
Fassett has spoken in nearly every coun-
ty in the state and conducted vigorous
canvass in the metropolitan district, some
times making three or four speeches in
one night He has had the solid backing
of his party, and Depew and Hiscock have
rendered service on the stump. Flower
has made speeches in the metropolis, and
has been assisted on the stump by express
ident Cleveland, Governor Hill, Mayor
Chaplin, and others. Sheehan has made
an industrious canvass of the state. The
County Democracy has nominated local
ticket of its own and Endorsed Flower.
Predictions to the Result
Ten supreme caurt justices and legis-
lature will be elected. A change in only
five districts will give the Republicans a
majority in the next assembly. Platt
says that the Republican majority will
be IL, 0oO and Edward Murphy, Jr., of the
Democratic committee, said III at the DEM
ocratic majority will be 60, 600
Neither will give figures by counties,
Sd that their gross figures cannot be an
alyzed The Republican organs give Mr..
Fassett 1900. Fassett, the Re
publicans say, will have 1900 more
than Miller above the Harlem, and Flow
er will have 5000 less than Hill below
the Harlenl, which gives Mr. Fassett IT,
900 majority The Democratic prophets
give Flower larger majorities than Hill
and FsssetJ less majorities than Miller
a. every county. They thus get a Dem
ocratic majority of CO. 900
