There are 444 electoral votes and 223 are

Inere are 444 electOral votes ana SS0 are necessary to a choice. The above estimate gives Cleveland and Stevenson eight votes to spare if all the other electoral votes are cast for Harrison and Reid. But the Democratic leaders contended that Weaver will get anywhere from thirty to fifty cleo torl votes. This of course will further reduce the votes of Harrison and Reid.
 Chairman Dickinson arrived from the northwest and was at the national Demo cratic headquarters at an early hour. To a reporter of the United Press he said: "The outlook for the Democrats in the north west is very bright think there will be some big surprises for the Republicans when the returns from that section come in- In Illinois, Iowa and Michigan the Democrats are well organized and confi- dent. In Minnesota Harrison is certain to lose four of the electoral votes. The Dem- ocrats are supporting four of the electors on the Peoples party ticket, which insures the defeat of four Republican electors" MT. Dickinson said further that the Re publican speakers had entirely dropped the tariff issue in their speeches in the north west.
 Republicans Certain of Success.
 A feeling of certainty of the success of Harrison and Reid pervaded national Re publican headquarters. Reports from every quarter bring encouragement. But the principal source of the increased confidence was found in the results of Saturdays reg istration in the state of New York, where such Democratic strongholds as New York, Albany and Troy fell below expectations, while strong Republican localities were marked by an increased voting strength.
 The last week of the campaign will be signalized by unf1agging energy on the part of the campaign managers and greater ac- tivity all along the line. More speakers than ever will be at work in the doubtful states, and the finishing blows of the cam paign will be delivered with effect. Among the visitors were ex-Senator George F. Edmunds, Senator Quay, Gener- al James A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania; ex- Congressman J. Hart Brewer, of New Jersey; Charles E. Coon of New York; Ed ward Einstein, Republican candidate for mayor of New York; Judge A. L. Morrison. of New Mexico; Samuel Carpenter, of the Pennsylvania railroad, and J. B. Mont
 gpmery, of Oregon.
 Ex-Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, in speaking of the prospects of the coming election, said, "An my information and all my belief and all my judgment and all my hopes are in favor of our success, for our cause is right and our candidates are right, and cannot believe that the people of the United States are either ignorant or crazy"
 Chairman Carter received letter from
 Hon John F. Finerty, of Chicago, in which he said:
 My recent visit to Chicago for the purpose of registering has greatly raised my expectations | of Illinois. I think the gubernatorial issue is comparatively sate for us, and I never had any | doubt to the favorable outcome of the cleo | toral vete for the presidency. There is every where . decided movement toward the Repub | hcan party by the Irish-Americans. Many of this class of voters have attended our meetings. Taken ali in all, am most hopeful of victory. There is growing indignation at Repub- lican headquarters over the story that H. | c. Prick was in consultation with Chair
 man Carter with regard to campaign funds. The story was again emphatically denied | by the leaders.
