New YORK, Nov. 4.-The following
was issued from Republican headquar-
tiers last night:
Confidence reigns supreme at Republican
national headquarters and the managers OF
the campaign will no longer admit OF
doubt OF the election Of Harrison and
Reid.
The encouraging reports that come to
the committee from every quarter are now
fully backed up by the betting market, In
which il Is almost impossible TO longer get
even money OH Harrison, but this hopeful
condition Of affairs will not induce the
committee to relax a single effort that
might be put forth between now and cleo
tion day.
Money is still being wagered at odds in
favor of Cleveland's success in New York.
Most OF this money is being put up by gam.
tders who have no personal knowledge or
the political situation. They are betting
on tips from William f. Sheehan, chair
man of the Democratic state committee.
Mr. SheefDan knows perfectly well that
the registration figures both in this city
and the county promise nothing but de-
feat for the Democratic national ticket.
On anything like an honest vote the eX-
IRENE limit of Democratic possibilities In
this city is plurality of 5000.
The New York Sun has conceded this
fact. Editorialy it was frankly admitted
that go 0 will be a big result. The
registration in New York amounts to only
y09, 90, an abnornally low figure. The
Republican strength in New York Is en-
rolled, and the Democratic vote is de-
ficicnt
There is also falling off in the vote &C
tually cast from the vote registered in
presidential years; it amounts to about 5
per cent. There is not the slightest proba-
bility of larger vote being cast than 29l,-
100. The Republican vote in 1883 was 1867
0C0. 1t is bound to be in this election at
least 49, o..
Certainly as many as l0,o0l votes will be
cast for the Socialist, Prohibition and other
candidates and will go into the scattering"
column. This will leave for Cleveland 1867
00O votes, or q plurality Of $40 O. Sup
posing that the Democrats do their best in
Kings county, their plurality cannot posi-
bly, exceed 1S,C0l.
Their best results from Long Island will
be 1900 and in Richmond county 200.
This will give them beow the Harlem
river plurality of Il, 500 MS against 1l,Ool
votes in 1888. There Is not politician OF
standing in the party who does not know
that on an honest election this is the re-
hottest limit of Democratic possibility
In the country, where personal registra-
ton is required, the Republicans have been
fully registered and the arrangements OF
the local committee are known TO be per-
feet for getting the strength of the party
into the ballot box HalTlson'S majority
above the Harlem river in 1888 was S',4A.
This year it will be at the very least cal
culation 10000 greater. There is no way
by which Democratic victory in this
state can be achieved in an election which
is even half way honest. And yet the
Democrats are giving odds on the state
while tens of thousands of dollars are be-
ing offered on the general result by he
publicans without Democratic taker
The Republican leaders understand per-
fectly what this means. It means that an
army of Democratic repeaters are to be
put to work in this city, each furnished
with a carefully prepared list OF polling
places and names, where and under when
be Is instructed to vote.
1t means that full million OF dollars OF
Democratic money is to be spent on
election day TO corrupt the franchise.
Schemes of outrage and wrong are being
concoGted by the Democratic leaders.
They intend TO cheat and bulldOze their
way to a Democratic majority. The Re-
publican committee does not intend that
those wicked schemers shall succeed. The
Republican managers will not be cheated
or buldOzed, and the man who enters
upon such undertaking will find himself
in quick distress.
