VICTORY In THE AIR.
Tammany Says the Election is
Practically Won.
Gen. Stevensun Says This Democratic
Movement is Universal and In
Growing Every Day.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-The victory
for the National Democratic ticket
has been practically won, was the
announcement made at Tammany
Hall yesterday. Yesterday and to-
day efforts were concentrated by both
parties in bringing out the backward
registers.
The National Democratic head
quarters received yesterday another
dispatch from the Western head
quarters, giving roseats hue Of the
situation In the West 80 far as the
Democrats are concerned. Among
other things the dispatch says, In
several of the Western States there
have been numerous reflections Of
the Republican ranks on the part of
prominent men, who have declared
their intentions OF voting for the
candidates OF Democratic
party. The Republicans have prac-
tically abandoned all hope of carry
ing Illinois for their State tickets,
and the sporting fraternity are bet
ting even that Cleveland will carry
the State.
Among the callers at Democratic
headquarters were Vice-President
Candidate Stevenson and James Ew-
ing, bis law partner. Gen. Steven
son was in he best of spirits. In
conversation with a reporter. OF the
United Press, he said: "Wherever /
have been in this campaign the trend
seems to be in favor of Democracy.
l ain an old campaigner, and have
spoken in over twenty campaigns. i
never saw a movement more uniyer-
sal than this Democratic movement,
and Democratic victory is in the air,
as the saying goes. 1 have taken
good pains during my tours to ask
privately If there were any Demo-
cratic defections. That is one
of the ways 1 always EN-.
ployed in ascertaining the drift of
/ have been unable to
find anywhere a single notable DEM
ocratic detection. All the men who
voted for Cleveland in 1884 and in
1888 seem to be going to vote for him
again, and the accessions are constant
ly very numerous. l have been as
sured that 1 drew hundreds OF peO-
pie away from the Peoples party
back to the Democratic party. Moth
more gratifying has occurred in my
career than this. Last night ! spoke
at Stamford. 1t was a large and en-
thusiastic meeting. 1 was told by
conservative gentlemen there that
Connecticut would surely go Demo-
cratic. OF course / can only Judge
from what I hear in such a case as
that, but / will say this, that If the
rest OF the State is like Stamford,
and the meetings elsewhere like the
meeting addressed last night, I cer-
tainly have no fears"
Gen. Stevenson, accompanied by
Gen. Ewing, goes from here to West
Virginia, where he will remain until
Thursday next, and then to Chicago,
where they will stay until election
day, when they 60 home to vote.
John T. Dunn, the Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Tenth
New Jersey District, was also caller
at the headquarters. He assured the
United Press reporter that New Jer-
sey was safely Democratic. John
w. Humes, San Francisco mer-
chant, another caller, said he would
not be surprised if the electoral vote
were cast for Cleveland and Steven
sou.
