NEW YORK. Nov. 6-The Republicans at
State headquarters have gone carefully
over this State by counties and figured
the result down so fine that chairman
Hackett predicts plurality of 49, 800 for
Harrison. On the other hand, q tabulated
statement of the estimated result in the
sixty counties, prepared by Democratic
statisticians, give Cleveland q plurality of
%, $50. Between these two estimates the
truth lies. Betting men have given odds
on Cleveland In this State for two weeks.
and more money has been put mp than on
any previous election. Whether the bet
ting is to be relied upon as an Indication
of the way the result will GO Is q question.
The Republicans and the Democrats are
both likely to be disappointed In one re-
not poll as large vote as they expect. in
this city and Brooklyn and ON Staten
Island. and the Republican vote up the
State will not be nearly as large as ex-
pected. The Republicans are confident
that Tammany will not carry the county
by over IS. 900 votes. although they talk Of
having $4,000 plurality. All talk of Hill
Democratic knitting Cleveland has died out.
Many New Workers who vote the Demo-
cratic ticket do not desire q change in the
administration. and will remain at home
on election day.
In 1888 Harrison came down to the Har.
lem river with plurality of IS. 4O4, and Re-
publicans say he will not have less than
$4,000 this year. To meet :his vote the
Democrats must have over 10000 plurality
in this city. as Kings. Queens and Rich
mond are not counted upon for more than
$4,000 by the most sanguine Democrats.

Tammany cannot obtain a plurality of
10000 votes. but there are grave doubts as
TO the ability of the Republicans to hold
the vote as they have done in other years
mp the State. Correspondents of the United
Press in adozen strong Repub lican counties
say that the full Republican vote will not

the Alliance hns made great progress among
the farmers and there are three cornered
contests on Assem- Dly men and local officers.
which will dctract from the wore .or Re
publican electors. The Democrats have
made gains in Buffalo and Erie county, but
will lose nearly one thousand votes in AL
bany, OWING TO local strife. AZ this will
be the first time the Australian ballot will
he tried through the Republican county
districts. and as the Democratic cities tried
it Inst year. the al vantage will be with the
Democrats. and they expect this factor
alone will reduce the Republican vote 2 or
Per cent.
It is intimated tonight by promi nent
Republicans :the Fifth avenue Hotel that
combination has been effected with GER
tain candidates, whose names are not
given. which would materially affect the
result in New York city in favor of the
Republican electoral ticket The parties
giving out this information were not in
clincd 70 60 INTO details. but say that q
surprise has been prepared for
the Democrats. IL has also been
discovered thas the pastors sent ont by
Tammany Hall are wider than the size pre-
scribed by the statute. IL is stated that
