TIE "HERALD'S' ESTIMATE.

Democratic in New York state and in the
Nation sure-Conservstive Estimates
from Both sides Considered, Together
With NOn-Partisan Figures.
New YORK, November 6.-The New
York Herald sums up the exhaustive
canvass OF the political situation
throughout the country:
New York is emphatically Demo
cratic State. Indiana, while not so dis
tinctly indicated in the canvass, seems
to lean toward Mr.. Cleveland. Connec-
ticut is in doubt, but the HerdldS
IS q ba correspondent regards the State
There I'd field for Relun,,,,t e9D .cTsaIed so far
to indicate the solid South has been
broken, with the single exception of
West Virginia, whose six electoral votes
hang uncertainty, the probabilities be-
ing Democratic.
Taking the Republican estimates on
the national ticket in New York from
the most conservative sources, county
by county, Mr.. Harrison's lieutenants
do not claim the State by more than
3, roo plurality, while the Democratic
estimates from equally conservative
sources, county by county, give the
State to Mr.. Cleveland by plurality of
%, 600. New York city will contribute
nearly 10000 Democratic plurality, and
Brooklyn will probably give plurality
of more than 1900. These figures are
not based upon mere Democratic or Re-
publican estimates. They are based
upon careful figures from both sides
and independent investigation.
"While it is true that the Solid South
remains practically intact, it is not true
that the Northwest appears to be solid
for Harrison. Montana and Oregon, for
instance, are exceptions.
There is a good deal of shouting and
prophesying in Illinois, but no test yet
made has shown any serious break in
the normal character Of it's vote unless
it may be the loudly advertised revolt
Of the German Republicans against
their party.
GIN A NUTSHELL,
"Mr. Cleveland has gained thirty-six
votes over his score In 1883, and the
only points where he is threatened
with a loss is In West Virginia and
Connecticut which cast only ten elec-
toral votes.
"The Peoples Party will take many
more electral votes away from Mr..
Harrison than he will gain in the new
States. He will have to fight hard for
Indiana. with the chances against him,
and with the utmost effort can barely
win in Connecticut. AS for New Jer-
Sey, Massachusetts and other old timers
it is mere waste Of words TO discuss
them. They will support their reSpec-
tive parties in the usual way"
Speaking editorislly, regarding its
great forecast, the Herald says:
This review is written without any
flourish or ornament. 1t is not intended
as a lever to influence the result, but as
a clear and simple explanation OF the
Investigations of impartial agents of
this paper.
The Herald has no candidate and
will have no candidate"

A sermon On Politics.

WATERFOWL, II. Y, November c.
The Rev. Tobias Glenn, OF ST. Patrick's
Catholic Church, caused a sensation
here to-day by devoting his remarks al
most entirely TO politics at the mOrning
mass. After some pointed references to
the corruptiDg influence Of money in
elections, in which he charged the in
dividual mem bers of his congregation
not to let such influence sway them
on election day, he reviewed
the policy OF each administration
since the formation of the Government
TO show that the Democratic party was
entitled 70 their support. he concluded
his address by advising his congrega-
tion 70 vote the Democratic ticket on
Tuesday next. Father Glenn is the best
known and one of the most influential
priests In the Ogdensburg diocese, and
he will have much weight with Cath
olic voters in this part of the State.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November g.
There is perhaps but one point upon
which both of the political parties are
agreed In this campaign and that Is
that the great Democratic majority In
the present House of Representatives
will be largely reduced. Even the most
enthusiastic Democrat is willing to al
low that the probabilities lie in that
direction. But when 1t comes to calcu-
lation of the extent Of prediction there
is again difference Of opinion. Some
ssnguine Republicans have asserted
their belief that their party will be able
u .c'lrp majority in the Fifty-third
Congress i'd will so be able to elect
Thomas BracA 7tt Reed to his old place
as Speaker OF tn House. The Demo
cratic leaders, however, laugh at this
claim, and indeed few conservative Re-
publicans have endorse 1t. At the
beginning of the pres. t congress
the Democrats in the Hous. including
the eight Independently, or lliance
men, who usually acted with ! EN-,
numbered twenty-seven out Of a to al
membership of 1886, thus controllim
the house by the unprecedented major
ity of 15s. 1t is entirely improbable,
except In the event Of a landslide, that
the enormous majority can be over
come by the Republicans. The best in
formed Democrats In Washington be-
lieve that their party will have a
majority OF about twenty-five In the
next House; conservative Republicans
estimate a Democratic majority oi
about twelve, and the probabilities are
that the true majority will lie some
where between these figures, say
eighteen or twenty. Because OF the

Lord Lytton'. Method Of speech.

Lytton had curious drawing man.
ner Of speech, his words being inter-
spersed with frequent "erras" to help
him out when he was waiting for the
proper word. Then. again, he would
emphasize sentence or single word
by loudly raising his voice, peculiarly
which gave his talk certain dramatic
character. l remember once, when 1
was dining with him en- petit comite,
the conversation turned upon the uni
versatility of belief in divine Creator,
and even now fancy / hear him say
ing: "When-erra-lh had the honor
a--of becoming her majesty's secre-
tary. Of state for the colonies, made it
my first business -erra-to instruct my
agents all over the inhabitable globe
erra--to report to me if they knew of
any nation, tribe or community-erra;"
thus far he had spoken in low, melo-
dious voice. when suddenly he changed
his register, shot out the following
words as from catapult, "who did not
believe, in God" He added that he had
only found one savage community with
such a.want of belief. Cornhill Maga-

why He Hurried.

Out in Iowa some years ago number
of men were engaged in the harvest
field. When man is working for
wages on farm there is nothing more
delightful to him than a little fall Of
rain. It gives him chance to stop
work and seek shelter. These harvest
ers broke for the barn. When the great
body of them arrived there they found
that one of their number had got there
ahead of them. He had fallen prostrate
upon the barn floor, entirely out of
breath. The foreman asked him why he
had run himself to death.
"Good Lord" he replied, II was
afraid the rain would stop before got
in. Washington Letter.
