WILD EXPECTATIONS OF DEMOCRATS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH]
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Chalrman Garter
and his campaigners on the Republican bat
tlefeld pronounce the Dem Jcratic talE
about carrying New York as gabble. A:
to the Hoosier State they say the Demo-
Gratis have not any idea what they are talk
ing about
About Connecticut the Republicans say
their adversaries are surely in the last ditch
when they say the slightest word about the
result in Hon. Sam Fessenden's State.
Chairman Carter and all the other members
of the Republican National Executive Com
mittee were at headquarters early this
morning, and with their staff of assistants
at once plunged into work. They expressed
determination to let no lack of vigilance
at the eleventh hour place their prospects
in jeopardy. Necessarily, the work in
which they were engaged was one mainly of
detail, but important detail.
The field on which the contest with the
Democratic forces is to be made on Tuesday
next is broad one, and from all quarters of
it reports were constantly arriving. To
many of these reports it was necessary to
give reply, instant and decisive, to the
ieutenants awaiting the orders of their
chiefs. Vigilance, the keenest, is main
tanned, and will be maintained until the
campaign that is now nearing its close
by hourly steps has ended.
Closing Work of the Democrats.
The work by the Democratic National
Committee during the remaining three days
of the campaign will be chiefly in the
States of Connecticut, West Virginia, Indi-
ana, Alabama and Virginia. Instructions
have been sent out from Democratic head
quarters to the Chairmen of the State Com
mittees in all these States, warning
them to be on the alert and not to relax
their vigilance anywhere for a moment
until the votes are counted next Tuesday
night The chairmen of five States are in
daily, almost hourly communication with
national headquarters by telegraph. Hourly
communication is had with the Democratic
leaders in Connecticut by long distance
telephone
1t was known at Democratic headquarters
to-day that the Republicans propose to
have United States deputy marshals at all
the polling places in New York and Brook
lyn and in other cities in the State. The
Republicans are proclaimlng that if neces-
sary troops and marines will be within
handy call. Following up this line 1t was
announced that the troops and marines that
were ordered to the Brooklyn navy yard
and to the forts in the neighborhood of New
York to take part in the Columbian parades
have not been sent back to the places
whence they came. Republicans declare
that they will assert the Federal authority.
Democrats Pleased With the Prospects.
News to-day from the Empire State was
satisfactory to the Democrats. 1t was to
the effect that the claims of the Republi-
cans that they are to get out a
heavy vote in the country districts
were based upon superficial evidence. All
the reports from the Hoosier State
were of the rosiest character, and the pres
ence of Republicans in town from the Nut
meg State seeking funds, was interpreted by
the National Democratic csmpaigners as
meaning that the Republicans were weak
in Connecticut
Coming back to New York State it can be
announced that the Democrats who have
given the canvass in that State more atten-
tion than their brethren of the National
Committee declare that Harrison will
come down to the city line with
not more than g., 600 plurality. 1t can be
said also that from q canvass now in the
hands of good authorities, the Democrats
figure up their plurality in the State to be
25, 100.
As to Indiana. thev expect Mr.. Cleveland
to carry it by from 1000 to $4,000 They
also say Connecticut will be carried by
small plurality. So much for the Demo-
cratic claims
