Boston, Mass, Nov, 5.-The Demo-
Gratis OF Massachusetts,, not daring to
hope for complete victory on Tuesday,
are determined and confident in their
efforts to achieve high water mark for
the principles OF Democracy. There is
a general expectation in both parties
that Governor RUssell's magnificent
canvass for the third term will be
crowned with victory. Nothing less
than a veritable tidal wave for the Re-
publican ticket generally could defeat
him. In the reappoiutment Of the con-
gressiOnal districts the Republicans
gave the Democrats only two safe con-
stituents, but certainly In two, and
possibly I'm four other districts, the
Democratic candidates will be success
ful. Boston GLOBE.
The Republicans claim the choice Of
the Harrison electors by plurality Of
90, 600 votes. They think the total vote
will reach 3S5, 900 against 344, 44S in
1883, and expect Harrison to get about
200, 900 Of the total, to 175,000 for
Cleveland, and the balance for the Pro-
hibition and Peoples.
They also claim the election OF their
candidate for Governor by plurality
considerably less than for President,
but still substantial, aud the balance OF
their State ticket by plurality little
short OF that for President. They as
sert that the canvass Of the State war
rants all that they claim.

SSsetdI TsEsorGm to tas Sunday Register.
New YORK, November 5.-Republi-
cans talked a great deal this morning
about their intention of breaking down
the odds in favor Of Cleveland land end
ing the campaign with Harrison
hurrah by the use of "big Doodle" that
would be irresistible, but, IS all through
the week, their bluff failed to materailize
and James Mahony was still unable
to find taker for his $4,000 wager on
Cleveland's election. An offer by John
Kelly to bet one thousand against four
thousand dollars that Cleveland would
have $4,000 plurality in this State,
met with no response. There were
dozen bets made $1,000 to 5000 that
Cleveland would be elected, and one
81, 900 to S4O0 and two $1,000 TO $500
that the Democrats would carry New
York. There were also number
OF wagers of $1,000 to $3.50, on Demo-
cratic success in the States OF Indiana,
and New Jersey. George Wheelock, OF
St. Louis. he leading Republican book
maker, declined to make any more bets
on the State of New York, saying the
Democrats would carry it. Republican
money grew scarce as the evening hours
passed and the campaign closed Tor the
week with q practical refusal OF the
Republicans to continue backing their
candidate.

Doubtful for Once.

TOPEKA, KAs., November 5.-Kansas en-
joys the distinction this year for the first
time in its history of being a doubtful
State, at least so far as National, Congress
sionsl and Legislative contests are con-
cerned.
OF course, the Republicans do not admit
it is, but their extraordinary activity in
the campaign and their reticence concern
ing the true condition of affairs give evil
dence of their nervous apprehension.
Fusion Democrats and the Peoples party
have brought about this doubtful condition
of Kansas. The Alliance party since the
defeat of Senator Ingalls, four years ago,
has been merged into the Peoples party,
and with it the Democrats have joined
forces in the endeavor to overcome Repub-
licanism.
The fusion of the two parties have been
completed excepting on two Congressional
districts and upon State issues. AS to the
Legislature the Peoples Party and Demo-
Gratis have fused in l09 out Of 125 Legisla-
tive districts and in 81 out of 40 Senatorial
districts.
They claim a big majority in both
branches Of the Legislature, and their
claims have not been denied by the Repub-
licans. If the Fusionists should carry the
Legislature, there will be two candidates
10 oppose the reelection Of Senator Per-
kins

THE POPULITES
Are the Cause OF All the Trouble In Ala
bama-The Aspect of Affairs.


BIRMINGHAM, ALA, November 5.-The
political situation in Alabama is very COM
plex. The State has been the very back
bone of the Alliance, but it has worked
within the Democratic party lines.
Last August the Alliance broke away
from its old affiliations and embarked on an
independent course under the name of the
Jeffersonian Democratic party. This party
has now allied itself with the Republican
party in the State with no avowed object
or purpose except to defeat Cleveland.
Undoubtedly the rancor and Ill feeling
engendered in the last State election has
had much TO do with the present fusion.
The combination ticket is known as the
Populite ticket.
No labor norsliquor questions enter into
this campaign, the State officers have al
ready been elected, and Tuesdays election
will be strictly confined to the choice Of
Presidential electors and Representatives
in Congress.
The point Of interest to be disclosed by
the vote is the extent of the disaffection in
the Democratic party caused by the
attitude of the Alliance. Notwithstand-
ingthe fusion the Republicans still have
full ticket of Presidential Electors and
Congressional candidates, and the Prohi-
oition party, although cutting little or no
no figure in the canvass, has also made a
few nominations to retain the form OF or
ganizatiOn.

HARTFORD, Conn, November 5.-The

choice of State officers, and that a Repuo-
lican Legislature will elect Republican OF
hcers and a United States Senator. Ihe
Democrats claim the State for Cleveland,

campaign of last year was unparalleled,

The labor opposition to Joseph Banigan,
the rubber manufacturer. who Is one OF
the Democratic electors, may have an I'M
portant bearing. Many Democrats have
stated that they will scratch him. The
plurality will be small either way. The
Congressional elections are also IN doubt.

OMAHA, NEB., November 5.-In Nebras-
ka affairs are much complicated. The
Democratic managers are doing everything
to keep their candidates from securing
votes and are urging the voters to support
Weaver. To-day the chairmen of the Dem
ocratic county committees began sending
out ballots with the "X" marks after the
Weaver electors, accompanied by letter
urging each voter to cast his ballot for
Weaver and thus take Nebraska out of Re-
publican hands. The Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee predicts that
their advice will be generally followed and
their ticket will be elected by at least 5000
plurality.
