POLITICAL.

Dispatches from New York to-day
are of the most encouraging nature for
the democrats. AT the national mead
quarters the managers say Cleveland S
election is assured and that the repup-
licans have virtually admitted their de-
feat. One dispatch reads: Chris Ma.
gee said last night that the jig is up:
Chauncev NJ. Depew, fresh from trip
through the State withCandidate White
lava Reid, candidly told some friends :
Il am afraid New York is lost to har-
rison." The sensation produced by
these statements was so great as
to strike terror to the republican heart.
Between and 9 o'clock last night the
Hoffman House corridor and adjoining
cafes were again filled with strug-,
Cling crowd. There were "barrels OF
democratic money" but the republl-
cans fought shy and showed no incll-
nation to back Harrison. James Ma
honey offered TO bet $4,000 even up
in favor of Cleveland OH the genera re-
suit or at Il rate of , to ] on the dem
ocratic electoral ticket carrying New
York State. 1t is understood that
Bookmaker Mahoney represents a
syndicate of wealthy democrats. Lat
cr he offered 10 bet $4,000 to 5000 IN
favor of Cleveland on the general re-
suit. but found no takers.
John l. Davenport, the chief super
visor of elections in New York, having
prepared plans for the arrest OF 5000
men at the polls on election, commit
tee of democratic lawyers has sent
him q letter citing decisions of the
United States Court discountenancing
the practice of delaying arrests for al
legged illegal registration until the Gay
of election. .JohnJ. German, sheriff OF
New Yorl, county, has begun the
swearing in. of special deputies, and an
nounces that he will maintain the pub,
lie peace at the polls. The United
states district attorney of New York
has given an opinion to the effect that
the United States deputy marshals and
supervisors nave the right to go behind
the guard rail in the polling booths.
This is opposed to the views OF Lieut.;
Gov. Sheeha1l, and Gov. Flower issued
a proclamation yesterday that practi-
cally indorscs the stand taken by Chair
man Sheehan. Trouble is feared In
New York on Tuesday should there
be q conflict of authority between the
State and government authorities.
The work of the presidential cam
paign being virtually ended, Chairman
Harritv. of tie national democratic
committee. dictated last night state
ment of the situation in which he said /;
ION the whole the democratic mana
gers have reason to feel satisfied with
the outlook. We are vain enough to
think that no blunders have been COM
mitted and that nothing has been done
to bring reproach upon the party, the
candidates or the managers. We await
the election with equanimity, feeling
morally certain that the vote on Tues
day will result in Mr.. Cleveland 5
triumphant election
Senator Hill made speeches yester-
dav in CORTLAND and Elmira, n. y.
He was most enthusiastically received
by large audiences, whom he urged to
lovallv support 9Ir. Cleveland, saying
that if the party stood shoulder to
shoulder the result next Tuesday night
would be highly gratifying to demo-
Gratis all over the land.
Patrick Egan, L. S. minister to Chilli,
addressed meeting in Cooper Union,
New York, last night. Resolutions
were adopted appealing to Irish Ameri-
cans to vote for Harrison and Reid.
NIr. Seth Low, president OF Columbia
College and one of the best-known re-
publcans in New York State, has de-
clared for Cleveland.
