lsse ~ Stais.

CixerSxari, Nov. 4.-The Enquirer, the
leading Democratic newspaper in the city,
prints a long SPECIAL from William c.
MacBride, its Washington correspondent,
who is now in New York. The special says
The closing week of the campaign finds
the Republicans more jabilant. In every
quarter there is an absolute confidence that
Harrison will be elected. Up to the Satur-
day previous there was anxiety. The figures
Of the registration have brought about the
abounding faith.
To secure majority of 1900 in this
county for Mr. Cleveland it will be neces-
sary for the Democrats to carry 62 2-3 per
cent. of the vote cast upon the basis Of
294 coo ballots In the boxes Such pereen-
tage would give the Democrats ls4,24o
votes. The remaining 81 ~ per cent. for
the Republicans would aggregate vote for
Harrison of l09,76o Should the claim
hold good Cleveland's actual majority
would reach 74,4so in New York county.
Now let us pin down the claim in the
light of figures. To begin, assume that the
total vote polled win be i,500,o00: of this
number eoncede that 800 600 votes will be
poiled in the Democratic Gibralter below
the Bronx. This leaves | 600, 600 votes to
be cas-: outside. In other words. two-thirls
of the vote polled will be east outside of
the Democratic strongholds. Moreover,
this two-thirds is to be east in that section
of the state which the Republicans, save
in the election of one year ago, have ever
held.
If, then. in a vote of 500 900 the Demo-
Gratis claim as the very maximum 10000
majority is i, fair, on their own ground, to
give the Republicans only "a, 900 majority
in poll of | 900, 900 votes. think not.
Four years ago they had $1,000 more. But
still another consideration In the interi-
or counties of New York whatever there is
in falling off of registration is in the Dem
ocratic counties. Albany is signally be-
hind The city of Troy notieably so. On
the other hand, from from every Repubh-
can quarter the figures of the registry show
magnificent gains.
If the Democrats get 30 900 majority be-
low the Harlem line the chance as between
Cleveland and Harrison will be an even
one Ii they get less the odds are in Ilar-
rsons favor. -Four years ago he had 81, 900
in a vote of i,313,0O0. Any one can calcu-
late what he should have in the same ratio
in a vote of ,500, 900. All the figures of
Presidential years go to show that the heav-
ier the vote the greater the Republican ma
jority.

even in the last week before Presidential

the business in two way, mulfituiies have
been diverted from trade TO political activ-

The fact that even under sucb circuID-

ANXIOUS TO MEET MITCHELL.

Battle With Him.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 4.--Corbett was asked
why he particularly wanted to whip Mitch
ell. II think he would be a mighty good
man to whip was the reply. And
chimed in Manager Brady, ave will make
that match with Mitchell or show him up
for what we think he is.
Continuing, Corbett said There are
many reasons why should force Mitchell
into a match and try to beat MIN. By a
scrap or two and by his wonderfully clever
style he took the lead in pogilism IN tins
country with jump, How has he used
this lead? lie has coined money from
Americans and gone to England and abused
them. He could not bring himself to face
sullivan in his prime, so he takes up Jake
Kilrain and uses him as a catspaw IN an at
tempt to down the American champion
When this failed he bad no use for this
country. We would all feel better now if
he could be shown up as more of talker
than fighter"

LAST APPEAL.
Democratic Committee Makes
a Frantic Address
To Their Followers toSupport Grover
Cleveland at the Polls.
The Dying Wall Of . Defeated Parry Going
Going, Gene up!

| NEw York, Nov. 4.--The Democrat,
National committee today issued an address
10 the Democratic voters of the country N
which. after calling attention to the steady
Capitalization of wealth in the past so years
andits attending evils and to the perniciou'
consequences of the passage of the Repub'
| lican tariff bill. it says: You must, on the
eighth day of November, make a choice
which will virtually affect the interests OF
your country. The individual vote of each
one of you is of supreme importance. I'm
der Grover Cleveland as President, the
highest and controlling motive and rule Of
his administration and of the whole Demo-
cratic and independent vote, united in his
support, will be of the greatest good of the
greatest number; and public Office will be
sacredly regarded as public trust.
Civil service viii not be dragged against
its will, through the mire of nomination
conventions, but the laws regulating it will
be honestly enforced Agriculture and
commerce, growing steadily side by side
under wiser laws, will greatly increase our
national prosperity. Our manufacturers
will keep pace with our population and
commerce, and the individual worlingman
in the field and in the shop will find his
Wduts are ulOIt ttke;l ititO attouut, anu his
reasonable demands more readily listened
to.
No combination will be able TO dictate
laws to Grover Cleveland or the Democratic
majority in Congress. The party we rep
resent, the candidate we support, the cause
we advocate, have only one end IN view and
that is good government.
We ask every one of you, each acting
in his own election precinct and election
district to labor without ceasing for the
election of Grover Cleveland and Adlai +.
Stevenson, and for good government under
a Democratic administration. TN the day
of election lay aside all duties, all except
the duties of that day. a
Protect your respective polls against bri-
berry, fraud or intimidation. No badge of
authority can empower any man to interfere
with the lawful casting of your rightfnl bal
lots. There is behind each one of you the
force of public opinion and the power of
actual law which will assuredly hold 10 a
strict account the men who are now en-
deavoring to defeat fair expression of
your will.
The right is with us and we are certain of
victory. Make it an overwhelming tri-
umph.

of Democratic National Committee. Don

BAGS FOR SUGAR PACKAGES.
The Trust Decides to Use Them Hereafter In
stead Of Heavy Barrels.

PuuADeLpuIA, Nov. 4.-The announce
ment has been made that bags will hereafter
be used by the Sugar Trnst instead OF bar
rels for packages. The bags are of plain
burlap with light muslin bag inside, and
its weight is only pound and nalf while
that of the barrel is % pounds. Thus the
difference in freight alone. for carrying re-
fined sugar to its destination, would pay
several times over for the bag.
This is the worst blow the local eooperage
industry has ever experienced and almost
wipes out the business in Philadelphia.
Flour now goes to Europe in bags and is
retailed in the same way. Sugars brought
here from the West Indies and Hamburg
comes exclusively in bags which, after be-
ing cleaned, are used up for paper stock.
The Spreekles were the first to introduce
the bag business in the East. The Trust
saw the advantage and took immediate steps
to have the output shipped in the cheaper
way as soon as it gained control of the
factories.

THEY NEED THE VOTES
And Fear That Some Of Their Men May Be
Behind Bars. Election Day.

New YORK, Nov. 4.-The executive CON-
mittee of Tammany Hall sent letter to
John l. Davenport, this afternoon, saying
.'We understand that it is contemplated
by you to make certain arrests of electors
of this county for alleged illegal registra-
ton. If such offence of illegal registration
has been committed by any person, it was
done between the l1th and Goth of October.
Lists of such days registration are at once
placed in your hands, and you must have
long since completed your work of inspec-
ton Of such lists.
It frequently happened that you have
withheld making arrests for illegal regisira-
ton, until election day, and held the peo.
pie so arrested until the election was over
therefore causing the. elector to lose his
vote, even though entitled to cast it.
As you can just as well execute your
warrants for illegal registration now as on
election day, we have to request that you
will forthwith issue and execute any war.
rants that you may intend to issue for lille.
gal registration, in order that the elector, il
entitled to his discharge, shall receive the
same in time to cast his vote. We take il
for granted that you will comply with oul
request"
