review % the political situation in this state
the Irgas prints this morning letters from the
leading democratic aHd republican editors Of
the state outside Of New York and Kings.
The estimates are much below the rcpub-
lean vote Of IsSS four wears ago,
when Harrison carried New York state by
l4.355 plurality. The republican counties gave
Harrison u ,747 plurality, while outside of New
York and Kings. the democratic counties. gave
only PIP democratic plurality. The situation
outside the two great cities in which consider
able gains are conceded thus becomes
Of prime importance this wear. while there are
no stronger partisans than the editors Of the
pres of interior New York there are no
clearer observers Of political events and none
more competent To- express opinion each If
hi- own locality. Accordingly IN" 4J7as last
week sent "a circular letter To- the editors Of
democratic and republican newsuapo n outside Of
New York and Kings asking each. viii YOU

From twentv-seven counties democratic
editors only have replied and they point to net
republican Losses and democratic gains of over
1900. The democratic editors look for a net
republican loss of over 1000 IN thirty-six
counties. The same rate ON the remainder
of the state would produce a republican loss OF
about %. 600 outside New York and kings IN

calculation of the rate of the state a total
