ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l

NEW YORK, Nov AT Republican
headquarters to-day things were generally
quiet There is an air of p erfect confidence
among members of the National Commit.
tee, and they rely upon the figures they
have issued and are sure of success. They
say that Democratic betting is done largely
by gamblers and professional sports and
that they are putting up their money on
"tips" and that these tips come from Mr..
Sheehan Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee. 1t is further claimed by Re.
publican managers that Mr.. Sheehan knows
perfectly well that the story told by registra-
tion figures in this city and other counties OF
the State is one that promises nothing but
defeat for the Democratic ticket.
According to the best figures possible,
the largest vote the Democrats can expect
below the Harlem is plurality of 72, 500
as against II ,O3S in 1888 Above the Har-
lem, Republican managers claim the figures
are all in their favor, excepting possibly
Buffalo and Elmira. In Albany, where a
fierce factional fight is going on, the regis
trstion is 1896, as against 7,949 in 1888,
and the Republican canvass there shows
only 326 Republicans in the entire city are
omitted from the rolls In all the Repub-
lican towns the registration is greater than
in 1855 At that time Harrison's majority
above the Harlem was IS, 404, and this year
the lowest conservative estimate places it
10000 more.
No Way for Democrats to Win.
There is no way, so the committee say,
that, if the election is half honest, the
Democrats can win the day. 1t is asserted
that Mr.. Sheehan has sent out instructions
to his precinct leaders in every county
directing them to disregard the authority
of Federal Marshals and Supervisors and to
prevent them from stationing themselves
where they can exercise visual supervision
of the voting process. Democratic thugs
and roughs are instructed to pick quarrels
with Republican officers and to do any
thing to insure the absolute control of the
electoral machine by Democratic officials.
The Republican National Committee is
fully posted as to proposed methods, and
its members say that if an attempt is made
to carry them out, election dav in New
York will be the livehest witnessed in
MANY a year. The Executive Committee
of the Republican National Commit tee,
during its session to-day, gave earnest con-
sderation to the situation in Missouri. The
striking out of large lumber of registered
voters in the city of St Louis by the Demo-
cratic Board of Registration Revision re-
ceived serious attention. The facts were
presented by National Committeeman
Kerens. and the determination was reached
that action by the United States Court
should be invoked through the State Com
mittee, and the National Committee de-
cided to cooperate to the full extent of its
power for the restoration of the voters to
the list and the punishment of the alleged
fraud.
What the Britishers Think.
Hon. George f. Hoar has returned from
Europe, where he has spent the summer
and devoted particular attention to the |
labor situation and particularly the manu-
featuring interests in England. At head |
quarters to-day he said: 'In England the |
great balance of sentiment is in favor of |
Cleveland among all classes. They dislike |
America as business rival, and this feel |
ing is most marked among the manu- |
facturers and tradesmen who are interested |
in the manufacture of articles which we are |
now making for ourselves
"The general tone among these people is |
one of encouragement and an admission |
that the English are being driven from the |
markets by the American competitors. One |
large dealer said to me: L have been in |
q business ten years and have done well, |
Americans can make our goods cheaper |
