Syria, Dispatch 10 The Evening star
albany. Y. Y. Oct. lin its preliminary
review % the political situation in this state
the Arg,ts prints this morning letters from the
leading democratic and republican editors Of
the state out-i,le 1t New York and Kings.
The estimates are much below the rePub-
lican vote OF ISIS four wears ago,
when Harrison carried New York state by
II. 355 plurality. The republican counties gave
Harrison u. 747 plurality. while outside of New
York and kings. the democratic counties. gave
only .l22 democratic plurality. The situation
outside the two great cities IN which consider
able gains are conceded thus becomes
q prime importance this wear. while there are
no stronger pariisans than the editors of the
pres Of interior New York. there are no
clearer observers Of political events and none
more competent To express an opinion each Of
hi- own locality. Accordingly Tn" 4yGHs last
week sent "a circular letter To- the editors Of
democratic and republican ncwsuapo n outside Of
New York and Kings asking each. will you
kindly give an estimate Tor publication Of the
Plurality which. Ia yOur opinion. Your county
l. likely o. give for President and the probable
result for assembly and for Congress.
Replies have been received from abont sixty
correspondents. covering forty counties of the
state. Allowance. OF course. must he made for
partisan bias and for the personal equation
o. Nntll-lh-m OF cturtTNutl-tn- III eucn case
n - notable that few republican editors look
for republican gains in their respective locali-
tie- and some concelc republican losses.
The democratic responses also point To the
fact that the republican vote of 1SSs was high
water mark in this state and in very few, II any
localities. do the republicans expect to equal it
thi- year. The democratic correspondents.
with few exceptions. look for democratic gains.
summing up the reports received from both
democratic and republican sources.
In nine counties the republicans conceae n
net loss of !. 400. while the democrats claim
ne, loss Of 400. From two counties republi-
cans only have replied. allowing a loss Of 700
From tventy-seven counties democratic
editors only have replied and they point to net
republican Losses and democrats gains of over
l2O00. The democratic editors look for net
republican loss of over 10000 IN thirty-six
counties. The same rate on the remainder
of the state would produce a republican loss OF
about %. 900 outside New York and kIng-. N
which democratic gain of at least 10000 is
conceded
A loss Of 1000 j. conceded by republicans in
eleven counties which would imply on a rough
calculation of the rate Of the state a total re-
publican loss of about 5000 which with the
allowed democratic gains south of the Harlem
would give the state to the democratic ticket by
n safe ma jority OF Hbou; 1900.
These reports have been lmpartiallv pre-
pared and they conform with the general
poets OF the situation. which have been out
lined in these dispatche-a
The points Of danger now are the registry
which will be practically taken in the country
next Saturday and the use of money ON cleo
tion day.
