and mot for publication" and he will tell YOU
that the chief thing of which he is afraid is the
superior organization and skill and superior
financial ability and methods Of the republi-
cans. The average democrat IL not over
whelmed with the belief in the skin and espe-
rience and ability of the leaders Of his party
this time. Most of them believe also that the
republican campaign fund Is much in excess Of
the democratic And some way they have .
fear that this condition OF superior skill and
1 "sinews" Of war will knock them out on the
final round.
REPUBLICANS MORE CONFIDENT.
There can be no doubt that the republicans
are more confident rs TO the general result than
are the democrats. dispatch from Indiana
says that a canvass Of the state made by the
democrats indicates that they will fall 1000
short of carrying Indiana. IL may be that in
formation Of this sort is the cause OF republican
confidence. Ii must be that the republicans
are not confident of New York state, although
the registration has been in their favor. They
have plenty of money to bet. but they do not
take the bets offered at big odds on New York,
vet they are confidently very confident as to the
general result.
II half that is said about the amount Of money
on hand for use In this election is true the
voters In the close states will have q picnic on
Tuesday. II Is probable that not half or one
fourth OF what is said in this particular Is true.
II Is asserted. however, that the democrats have
within the last day or two raised million and =
half OF dollars. and assertions Of similar char
scfcr are made with reference to the republi-
cans. Whether any OF this money is TO be used
in an improper way can only be surmised. That
there viii be Legitimate use for immense sums is
undoubted. for there will be a tremendous
scramble TO get every voter out. and the use OF
money for bringing voters from their homes TO
the polls Is, of course. considered a legitimate
one. while probably inducements may be offered
70 Others for the purpose Of keeping them away
from the polls.

DELAWARE.
Both Parties Working vigorously-The State
in Doubt.

Both Parties Working VigOrOus1y-The State
in Doubt.
Correspondence of The Evening Star
ELKToN, ND, Nov. 8, 1892.
Both republicans and democrats are claim
ing the electoral vote of Delaware. The pres
emit campaign is the hottest in the history of
the diamond state.
Both parties are making a desperate fight to
place the state in their respective columns and
at present it must be conceded that the demo-
Gratis have every reason to be hopeful. Della
ware for years past has always cast her votes
with the democrats, but this year she can be
safely set down as doubtful The republicans
claim the state for Harrison by 500. while at
the democratic headquarters it is claimed for
Cleveland by 1000. There are three counties
in the state. viz: New Castle Kent and Sussex
The first named will in all probability give Har-
rlson fair majority, notwithstanding it is
claimed by the democrats. The two lower
counties are expected to give Cleveland such a
ma ority that will overcome the majority that
New Castle will give for Harrison.
Both parties have made a thorough can vass
of the entire state, and the best stump speakers
in the country have been called into service by
both parties. The republicans are holding
meetings in all parts of the state and working
they were never known to work before
worth. Every night meetings are being held
in the negro churches and schools. The republl-
cans confident that they will succeed in
placing the state in the Harrison and Reid
column. The campaign on the part of the
democrats is just vigorous that of their
opponents if not more so.
Realizing their danger the democrats have
been holding meetings every night, all Of which
are largely attended. which go to show that
there is perfect harmony in the party.
One of the biggest events in the democratic
circle during this campaign was the address of
Hon. Bourhe Cochran OF New York at Whining
ton last evening. 1t is estimated that 10000
people were present.
The democrats claim to have just learned
from reliable source that the republicans in
tend to vote large delegation of negroes
living in the first district of this county, close
to the Delaware line. The fight between Rev.
J. S. Willis. the republican nominee for Con-
gress. and J. W. Causey. the present Congress-
man. is a close one, but Causey will probably
be reelected.

and Stout in the sixth both have hard rows to
hoe for reelection. In the fourth. eleventh
and twelfth the combination of populists and
democrats and the more aggressive campaign
conducted by the combination against the re-
publicans will have an effect upon the normal
republican gluralities The ninth. where Con-
gresham H. H. Wheeler lie the candidate for
reelection, will in all probability send John W.
Moon, the republican nominee. to Washington.
The chief difficulty in making canvasses this
year has been the reluctance Of the voters to
express their intentions. This is in marked
when every republican raised up his voice at
the mention Of Harrisons name and when dem
ocrats did not hesitate to tell their preferences
In this district four years ago the republican
party managers predicted within 200 votes OF
what the results would be, but this year they
are not dead sure within 1000 and admit 1t.
although they hope to pull through.
LITTLE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT.
In Michigan very little money has been spent
for campaigning purposes, and this has been
chiefly because the necessary funds have not
been obtainable. The Miner election law made
Michigan state not worth much a. an invest
ment by the republican national committee
either with money or speakers, while the dem
ocratic national managers have not had the
money to spare, although they have been more
than usually liberal with speakers. The
Ausfanan oanot system mas oampened the
ardor Of the Michigan men. and that clanse In
the law requiring sworn statements Of all ex-
penditures by candidates and committees has
made them somewhat circumspect in spending
money unnecessarily, as too big a sum Of
money spent would look bad. In this city the
managers Of republican well rs democratic
campaigns have been so hard up that the neces-
sary funds for the ball rent has at times been a
serious problem. What little betting is being
done in the state is on Cleveland in New York,
Indiana and general results, slight odds in
favor Of Rich and even that the republicans
give Harrison eight of the foutceen electoral
votes.
