New YORK. Nov. 1.-THE Republicans
az state headquarters have gone care
fully ever this state By COUNTIES ard
have figured the result down SO fine that
Chairman Hackett predicts u plurality
Of 1890 for Harrison. On the other
hand taollatel statement Of The es-
timatea result in the sixty counties, pre-.
pared by Democratic statlsticians, give
Cleveland plurality Of 1850. Between
these two estimates the truth lies. Bet
ting men have given odds on Cleveland
in this state for two weeks, and mere
money has been put up than on any pre-
vious election. Whether the betting is
to be relied upon as an indication Of the
way the result will go is a question.
The Republicans and the Democrats
are both likely to be disappointed in one
respect in this state The Democrats
will not poll as large vote as they ex-
pect in this city and Brooklyn and on
Staten Island, and the Republican vote
up the state is not nearly as large as ex-
pected. The Republicans are confident
that Tamm"ny will not carry tho city
by over 5000 votes, although the
sachems talk of having IS, 900 plurality.
All talk OF Hill Democrats knlhng Cleve-
land has died out but it is expected that
many New Workers who usually vote
the Democratic ticket do not desire a
change in the administration, and in the
absence OF party enthusiasm viii remain
at home on election day. In 1898 Har-
rison came down to the Harlem liver
with Il plurality of Sj40i. and Repub-
licans say he will not have less than
10000 this year. TO meet this vote the
Democrats must have over 10000 plural
ity IN this city, rs Kings, Queens aud
Richmond are not counted upon for
more than 10000 by the most sanguine
Democrats. The Republicans, therefore,
base their hopes OF success i'll this state
on THEN belief that Tammany cannot OBJ
tain IA plurality Of 10000 votes.
But there are grave doubts as to the
ability Of the Republicans to poll the
vote they have done in other years up
the state. Correspondents Of the United
Press i'll dozen strong Republican
counties say that the full Republican
vote will not be polled. In some of the
interior counties the Farmers Alliance
