vance of Election.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-The following
was Issued from Republican headquar-
tiers tonight:
confidence reigns supreme at the
Republican national headquarters, and
the managers of the campaign will no
longer admit of doubt of the election
OF Harrison and Reid. The encouraging
reports that come to the committee
from every quarter are now fully
backed up by the betting market, in
which it is almost impossible any longer
to get even money against Harrison,
but this hopeful condition of affairs
will not induce the committee to relax
single effort that might be put forth
between now and election day.
Money is still being wagered at odds
in favor of Cleyeland's success in New
York. Most of this money is being put
up by gamblers who have no personal
knowledge of the political situation.
They are betting on tips from Will
lam Z. Sheehan, chairman of the Dem
ocratic committee. Mr.. Sheehan knows
perfectly we'll that the registration fig
ures both in this city and county prom
Use nothing but defeat for the Demo
cratic national ticket.
ION anything like an honest vote, the
extreme limit of Democratic possibili-
ties in this city is a plurality of 10000.
| The New \ DIRK Sun has conceded this
fact. Editorially, 1t has frankly admit
ted that co. 0O would be a big result.
The registration in New York
amounts to only 100000, an alb
normally low figure. The Republican
strength in New York is enrolled and
the Democratic vote is deficient. There
is also falling off III the vote actually
cast from the vote registered i'll preSi-
Dental yeafSt 1t amounts to about . per
cent. There is not the slightest pos
Sibility OF larger vote being cast than
291 900.
"The Republican vote in 1880 was
100000. At least liz, 900 will be cast this
year. Certainly as many as 10000
votes Will be cast for the Social
list, Prohibition and other candidates,
and will go into the scattering col
umn." This will leave for Cleveland
10000 votes, or plurality Of
Gratis do their most in Kings
county, their plurality can by no posi-
bilIty exceed $4,000. Their best results
from Long Island will be $500. and in
Richmond county. LOO. This will give
them below the Harlem river plural
lty OF Il, 800, as against 7l,0Sl votes in
1888. There is not politician of stand
ing in any party who does not know
that on an honest election this is the re-
hottest limit of Democratic possibility.
I'm the county, where personal reg
istratiOn is required, the Republicans
have been fully registered and the ar
engagements of the local committee are
known to be perfect for getting the
strength of the party into the ballot
box. HarriSon's majority above the
Harlem river was S0.054. This will be
at the very least calculation 10000
greater.
There is no means by which Dem
ocratic victory in this state can be
achieved in an election which is even
halfway honest. And yet the Demo
Gratis ara giving odds on the state, while
Republican money is being offered
without a Democratic taker. This means
that all army CT Democratic repeaters
are to be put to work IN this city, each
man furnished with carefully pre-
pared list Of polling places and names,
where and under which lie is instructed
to vote.
ut means that full million of dol
lars OF Democratic money is to be spent
on election day to corrupt the fran
chise. Great schemes of outrage
and wrong are being conducted by
the Democratic leaders. They intend
to cheat and bulldoZe their way to a
Democratic majority. The Republican
national committee does not intend that
those wicked schemes shall succeed.
The Republican managers will not be
cheated or bulIdozed, and the man who
enters upon such an underts king will
find himself in quick Distress"
