NEW loax, Nov. s.-"Because" This is the
reason of the party leaders on both sides for
thinking that their candidates will win in to-
days battle. The politicians are looking ut .
face througha fog. Some say it has whiskers
aud is Earrison's. The prevailing opinion 10
that it is full and round, like the rising moon,
andis Cieveiand's. There can be no mistakine ths
fact that the preponderance Of feeling here IL
that Cleveland will carry New York--thati IL 20

or the other.
Mosr PEOPLE GREATLY IN DOUBT
good sized plurality Of those who are not
thoughtless enthusiasts professional chalmers
are greatly in doubt The managers OF both
parties keep up the appearance OF confidenos
with very good grace, and for the most part
their expressions represent their feelings. IL
is evident that, as Tom Reed would put IL. the

The democratic managers seem to feel cock

With such weather as this day has opened,
the vote throughout this state should be large,

to know where the heavy voting is being done.
CHAIRMAN cARTERs CLAIM.
Chairman Carter claims 10 have the most
positive assurances of a heavy republican vote
in the state and SAYS that the system is per-
feet for getting all the republican voters 10 the
polls. He claims heavy enough vote to over
come any majority the democrats can get south
of the Harlem bridge. At the same time il is
evident that great part Of the republicans
calculation is based on the belief in Tammany
treachery and the refusal OF many old line DEM
ocrats in many of the democratic thresholds 70
vote for Cleveland.
RUMoRs OF rAMMANY TREAcHERy DIscREDrTKD.
After midnight last night there were rumors
Of a serious Tammany disaffection and on &C
count Of it the betting tendency shifted to be
more favorable to the republicans. This did
not hold, however. 1t is 80 generally believed
that the reputation of Tammany for honert
democracy is at stake in the issue today that
talk Of treachery their part is discredited-
Reliance on treachery in the other party h very
fiimsy and deceving thing. As far az the re-
publicans are counting on it they are apt 10 b
disappointed.
THE OUTLOOK SLIGHTLY BETTER FoR cLKvKLAxn
As far as anybody knows the outlook 10
slightly better for Cleveland than for Harrison

still indistinct II it were life and death mat
ter that must bet one way should bet on
Cleveland carrying the state. The democrats
seem to have worked in perfect harmony snA
earnestly for victory. MnLEn.
