difficult to get. 1t looks TO me as il there
was an immense corruption fund on hand
here to be used in Republican interest,
but / have confidence that our people will
be able to thwart the little game"
Congressman William Mutchler, of Eas-
ton, Pa, spoke of the political situation as
follows: "From the situation as | observe it
l believe that we shall win. think that
New York is certainly going for Cleveland,
and believe that Indiana will. lnforma-
tion received from West Virginia leads me
to believe that that state is certainly going
for Cleveland. There may be some doubt
about Connecticut, but the chances are
that we will get that state too. As to New
York, there does not seem to be a reasona-
BILE doubt left that we shall carry the state
by handsome majority. l am a member
of the executive committee of the congress
sional campaign committee, and from esti-
mates made by that committee upon data
received from every section of the state we
have reason to believe that we shall have
at least majority Of forty in the next
house,
Senator Hill spoke at Port Jervis, n Y,
to one Of the largest crowds ever gathered
in the opera house there. In closing his
speech Senator Hill said: awe have two
notices, NO interference with federal elec-
tions, No public taxation for private pur-
poses Take these two principles home
and study them. If you do the Democratic
party will win great victory next Tues
day"
A Republican Address.
The following address has been issued
from Republican national headquarters:
Confidence reigns supreme at Republican
/ national headquarters, and the managers
Of the campaign will no longer admit of
| doubt as to 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 mar
ket, 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 Cleveland's success in New York.
| Most Of this moneyis being put up by gam
blers who have no personal knowledge of
the political situation. They are betting
on tips from William f. Sheehan, chair
man of the Democratic state committee.
| Mr.. Sheehan knows perfectly well that the
registration figures both in this city and
in the country promise nothing but defeat
! for the Democratic national ticket
On anything like an honest vote the ex-
treme limit of Democratic possibilities in
this city is a plurality Of 60,OOO The New
| York Sun has conceded this fact Editorial
| ly it was frankly admitted that co. 600 will
be a big result The registration in New
York amounts to only 3O9,OOO-an abnor-
mally low figure. The Republican strength
in New York is enrolled and the Demo
cratic vote is deficient. There is also a fall
| ing off in the vote actually cast from the
vote registered. In presidential years it
amounts to about 3 per cent There is not
the slightest probability of a larger vote
being cast than POI 200.
The Vote Contrasted.
The Republican vote in 1855 was los, 600
1t is bound TO be in this election at least
ll500O. Certainly as many as 10000 votes
will be cast for the Socialist, Prohibition
and other candidates, and will go into the
scattering column. This will leave for
Cleveland 100000 votes, or a plurality Of
$1,000. Supposing that the Democrats dc
their best in Kings county, their plurality
can by no possibility exceed $1,000 Their
best results from Long Island City will be
1900 and in Richmond county 200.
This will give them below the Harlem
river plurality of 52,500 as against II ,Osl
votes in 1855. There is not politician of
standing in any party who does not know
that in an honest election this is the remot-
est limit of Democratic possibility
In the country, where personal registra.
tion is not required, the Republicans have
been fully registered, and the arrangements
of the local committees are, known to be
perfect for getting the strength of the party
into the ballot box. Harrison's majority
above the Harlem river in 1858 was 81. .404.
This year it will be at the very least calcu-
lation 10000 greater There is no way by
which a Democratic victory in this state
can be achieved in an election which is even
half way honest
And yet the Democrats are giving odds
on the state, while tens of thousands Of dol
lars are being offered on the general result
by the Republicans without a Democratic
taker The Republican leaders understand
perfectly what this means. 1t means that
an army of Democratic repeaters are to be
put to work in this city, each man fur
nished with acarefully prepared list of poll.
ing places and names where and under
which he is instructed TO vote. 1t means
that a full million of dollars of Democratic
money is to be spent on election day to cor
rupt the franchise.
Corruption Alleged.
Great schemes ofLoutrage and wrong are
being concocted by The Democratic leaders
They intend to cheat and bulldoze then

publican national committee does not in.
tend that those wicked schemes shall sue.
coed. The Republican managers will not
be cheated or bulldozed, and the man who
enters upon such undertaking will find
himself in quick distress.
