There are 444 electoral votes and 223 are
necessary to a choice. The above estimate
gives Cleveland and Stevenson eight votes
TO spare if all the other electoral votes are
cast for Harrison and Reid. But the |
Democratic leaders contended that Weaver
win get anywhere from thirty to fifty elee-
toral votes. This Of course will further
reduce the votes Of Harrison and Reid.
Chairman Dickinson arrived from the
northwest and was at the national Demo
cratic headquarters at an early hour. To
a reporter of the United Press lac said. 1.-THE
outlook for the Democrats in the north
west is very bright. / think there viii be
some big surprises for the Republicans
when the returns from that section come
in, In Illinois, Iowa and Michigan the
Democrats are well organized and conf
dent IN Minnesota Harrison is certain to
lose four of the electoral votes. The DEM
ocrats are supporting four of the electors
on the Peoples party ticket, which insures
the defeat of four Republican electors"
Mr.. Dickinson said further that the Re
publican speakers had entirely dropped the
tariff issue in their speeches in the north
west.
To Arrest Cleveland.
Hugh Wallace, the national committee
man from Washington, is at Democratic
national headquarters. He says that the
Republicans will lose twenty votes to the
fusion ticket west of the Rocky noun
tains.
Chairman Murphy, OF the Democratic
state committee, informed United Press
reporter that he was confident that New
York state was sure for the Democrats.
"There is a good increase in registration in
the interior, be said, "and those who think
that all the increase is Republican win find
that they have been sadly mistaken
Colonel Daniel Lamont was one Of the
callers at the national Democratic head
quarters He said he had returned too re-
Gently from abroad to speak learnedly on
the situation, but from what little he had
seen he was confident Of the election Of
Cleveland and Stevenson.
There is n story in circulation that Mr.
Cleveland will be arrested, should he at
tempt to vote, on the ground Of his having
lived in the residence which the family
now occupy only a week at the time he
registered. The Democrats pooh pooh the
this, and say that Mr.. Cleveand's residence
dates back to last May, the time Of his
leasing the house in which he lives.
Mr.. Cleveland will in all probability visit
his native state, New Jersey, before cleo

given rise to desire for him to visit Con-
necticut, which he may yet conclude to do
Today he was visited by Chairman Harrity,
Don Nj. Dickinson and Daniel S Lamont.
A letter was received Mt Democratic
headquarters from Mr. A. II. lvans, of the
Jackson Lumber company, Of Lock port,
n. y, denying that he had deserted from
the ranks Of the Democracy and that he in
tended voting for Harrison.
Colonel Cooper, Of Kent county, Del, a
member Of the Democratic committee OF
that county, caller at national headquar-
ters, said that his state was surely Demo
cratic.
Republicans Certain Of Success.
A feeling Of certainty Of the success Of
Harrison and Reid pervaded national Re.
publican headquarters. Reports from every
quarter bring encouragement. But the
principal source of the increased confidence
was found in the results OF Saturdays reg
istration in the state Of New York, where
such Democratic strongholds as New York
Albany and Troy fell below expectations
while strong Republican localities wer,
marked by an increased voting strength
The last week Of the campaign will b,
signalized by unfiagging energy on the par
of the campaign managers and greater ac
tivity all along the line. More speaker
than ever win be at work in the doubtful
states, and the finishing blows Of the cam
paign will be delivered with effect.
