New York, Nov. s.-"Because" This IL the

fact that the prepouderance Of feeling here 10
that Cleveland will carry New York that lie ~
far any definite opinion is formed one way
or the other.
MOST PEOPLE GREATLY ~ DOUBT.
good sized plurality Of those who are not
thoughtless enthusiasts or professional chalmers
are greatly IN doubt. The managers of both
parties keep up the appearance OF confidence
with very good grace. and for the most part
their expressions represent ,heir feelings II
is evident that, as Tom Reed would put IL, the
democratic confidence lis more intense"
The democratic managers seem to feel cock
sure Of New York. The republicans re-
gard the state as doubtful. but they have strong
hopes. That undefinable something, the feel
ing in the air." is favorable. II the republi-
cans believed that everything depended on New
York state, beyond peradyenture, they would be
less hopeful
As to the doubtful states elsewhere opinions

and the republicans count that encouraging

CHAIRMAN CARRIERS CLAIM.
Chairman Carter claims 20 have the most
positive assurances OF a heavy republican vote
in the state and says that the system ID per-
feet for getting all the republican voters to the
polls. He claims heavy enough vote to over
come any majority the democrats get south
Of the Harlem bridge. At the same time il 10
evident that great part OF the Republicans
calculation is based on the belief in Tammsny
treachery and the refusal Of many old line dem
ocrats in many of the democratic thresholds to
vote for Cleveland.
RVMoRs OF TAMMANY rREAcHERY DIscREDrrED.
After midnight last night there rumors
of q serious TRmmany Justification aud

more favorable TO the republicans. This did
not hold. however. 1t is so generally believed
that the reputation of TarAmany for honest
democracy is at stake in the issue today that
talk Of treachery on their part is discredited.
Reliance on treachery in the other party ID a very
fiimsy and deceiving thing As far rs the re-
publicans are counting ON it they are apt to b
disappointed.
THE OUTLOOK SLIGHTLY BETTER FoR cLEvELASD
As far ar anybody knows the outlook is
slightly better for Cleveland than for Harrison
in this state. The face in the fog il at this hour
still indistinct II it we're life and death mat
ter that must bet one way should bet ON
Cleveland carrying the state. The democrats
seem to have worked in perfect harmony and
earnestly for victory. MrLLER.
