The State Conceded to Harrison by a Small

The State Conceded to Harrison by a Small
Plurality.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
SAN Francisco, Nov. REPORTS Just re-
ceived from all democratic and republican
chairmen of county committees in the state
result in the following estimates of votes for
President: Republicans claim California by
5000 plurality. Democrats concede thai the
state will go republican by 900 plurality. At
the headquarters Of the democratic state cen
trail committee in this city, however, it is MAIN
tanned that the state will so democratic by a
small majority.
The populists have been holding their own
during the last week. and democratic managers
assert that three-fourths of their vote will come
from the republicans Bidwell will also draw
heavily from the former republicans.
There is good ground for belief that the legis-
lature may be democratic. even if the state
goes for Harrison. This belief is partly based
on NJ. II. De Youngs candidacy for the Senate.
The Examiner. the leading democratic paper
on the coast, makes no prophecy, but admits
that the chances in California are in favor of
Harrison. The chairman of the republican
state central committee predicts republican
success. but does not think Harris6n's majority
will be as large as it was four years ago in San
Francisco. The independent municipal ticket
is almost certain to be elected. To sum all up
the chances are today that Harrison will carry
the state by small plurality and that the legis-
lature will be democratic by a small margin.

creased registration il about 400 while the
increase OF the republican vote is 1000. This
number of republican negroes in Wilmington
have qualified who had not heretofore done So
1t is conceded that of the white votes the dem
ocrats have 1000 majority. made up of the
Irish vote. which is practically solid with Them.
BEPrDLlCAS ciiAIRMAS's VIEWS.
As Mr.. +. Z. Boch, chairman of the republi-
can county committee puts it, it is n question
which shall count for the most 1000 Irish or
1000 negroes. Counting on the democrats car
rying the other two counties by about 500 and
claiming Newcastle county by 200. Mr. Boch
expects republican majorityof about 200 in
the state. Senator Higgins saws that he does
not like to make predictions but that he feels
that the Republicans are in fair way TO carry
the state. Mr.. Boch claims that there has been
republican majority in the state for num-
Der Of years, but that many republicans we're
kept from voting because OF q law which pro-
vlded that the poll-tax must be paid thir-
teen months before election in order 10 qualify
a citizen to vote.
The whole labor Of the republicans. ne says.
has been to get their voters qualified This law
has now been repealed and they have been en-
abled to increase their registration. but be
claims that there is still trouble because the
democratic tax receiver purposely keeps out of
his office in Wilmington as much possible
and throws all sorts of distractions in the way
OF republicans desiring to qualify to vote by
paving their taxes. He charges bad laws, bad
administration and extravagant expenditures
against the democrats.
DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.
The democrats confess that they have had a
very hard fight and that for long time the
state appeared to be in great doubt. but say
that they feel confident now of carrying it by
800. They charge the republicans with irving
to practice bribery. and even go so far as TO
m nkt r. ar
self. They are working right up to the last
moment. and appear to be quite confident of a
small majority. They say that the talk of re-
publican majority In New Castle county be-
cause of the increased negro vote means that
frauds are to be attempted. Predictions of
broken heads. bloody noses and perhaps Sc
riously riotous proceedings at the polls are
freely made, and the local leaders of both
parties talk as if the result would depend upon
which can stand the most ba.tering the ne
groes or the Irish. An agreement has been
reached that neither deputy marshals nor dep
uty sheriffs shall be called on unless there is
serious trouble, and then that there shall be an
equal number of each party.
