OBr1en Moore has no doubt of Cleyeland's
election. However, as member of the Lotos
Club Of this city, he is taking life easy and not

Is the most enthusiastic Cleveland man in New

HOW HE FIGURES OUT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
As to my own opinion let me say first. if Har-
rison is elected he will owe more than words
can express to that indefatgable. imperturba-
BILE man Of nerve, James Sullivan GARRISON. the
only man at republican headquarters who was
not disturbed in the slightest degree last
Thursday and Friday when the air was full of
threats Of riot and bloodshed by the Tammany
tOugbs. While the others were perturbed Mr.
Clarkson said that the federal authority is SUI
preme, and that republicans in the north shall
be protected at the polls by federal marshals.
1t was the attitude of Clarkson. and of him
alone, which caused a change in Tammany's
tactics at the last moment. Others were
alarmed at the big betting on Cleveland, but
Clsrkson said: They intend to intimidate US
and steal the state if they can. and then point
to their big bets proof Of the alleged fact that
they knew in advance that New York was demo-
cratic. They will lose this Ntate and also their
money"

The republicans claim 5000 gain in this city
since 1888. conceding that the the democrats
must have gained Il, 600 The democrats had
$1,000 majority here in 'SS. Now, add IL 900
to IS 900 and you will see that the democrats
are certain to have g. 900 majority in this city
In Brooklyn and contiguous places the demo-
| Gratis had $4,000 majority in 'S8 outside of New
York city. The republicans concedc Is 900 this
year. 1 call it $1,000. Now. add $1,000 to
IS. 900 and the democrats will have Sc 900 ma
jority south of Harlem bridge. That is the best
they can do. and is ii 900 more than republican
managers concede. / think You will find that
they have Sc 900
Well. the republicans came to the bridge with
$1,000 in 1888. Republican managers claim a
gain of 10000 since 1888 north of Harlem
bridge. | concede only 5000 republican gain
in the entire great state, and yet 5000 added to
81, 900 makes 80, 900, and Harrison will carry
New York state by 1000 majority over the
$4,000 which concede to Cleveland south of
the bridge. Harrison cannot have less than
1900 majority in this state and it may run up
to $1,000 majority. / am the only newspaper
man in New York who is not betting money.
and am. therefore, unprejudiced and unbiased
| do not see any prospect II Cleveland carry

to save their money; but they are betting
largely on their hopes and desires. They will
lose. SMITH D, FIX
