THE DOUBT IN NEW YORK,
The Result as Uncertain Now as at the Be-
ginning of the Week.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The close of the last
week preceding the election finds everybody as
Uncertain regarding the result at the begin
ming. As 10 New York there can be no doubt
that the weight of opinion is that it will be DEM
ocratic. 1t is. however. difficult to understand
in the face Of the falling of in registration in
democratic sections and the increased registra-
ton in republican sections why the republican
plurality Of four years ago should be reversed.
There is every evidence that the drift among
manufacturers, businessmen and workingmen
is against change in the financial policy of the
government in the midst Of prosper
Gus condition and that there is in
tense dissatisfaction with the proposed re-
turn to state bank currency. Besides
this republicans are more thoroughly
devoted to their candidate and more thoroughly
united and earnest in his behalf than are
the democrats for theirs. Yet: with the
betting two to one on Cleveland's
carrying the state. and few republican takers,
the conclusion is irresistible that the chances in
New York must really be against the republic
c. rs. for some reason which doesn't appear on
the surface.
As to Indiana, from what can be gathered
here at this last moment there Is reason to be-
leve the chances are rather favorable to repub-
hcans. Connecticut seems almost certain to 60
republican, and nobody need be surprised at
anything in Delaware and West Virginia

As to California Mr.. McEwen is slightly
satirical. There is no systematic canvassing or
political work done in the interior as in the
doubtful eastern states, from which we can
draw conclusions. but il Is certain that there is
an undercurrent Of rebellion at the high tariff,

cost the republicans many votes, and the South

From an Unexpected Quarter.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PROVIDENCE, Nov. 5.-Republican success in
Rhode Island is menaced from an unexpected
quarter. The city committee have called the
republican caucuses for tonight and the city
convention for the nomination of mayor and
other municipal candidates for next Monday
afternoon
AS there are several aggressive aspirants for
the MAJ orally of Providence. the fight for dele
gates today and the contest IN the convention
Monday are likely toengender antagonisms that
may prove very disastrous to the party on
Tuesday.
Mr.. Charles T.. Paine and Col. Arthur H.
watson. president of the common council, are
candidates. II the latter is chosen Mr.. Henry
L. Clark will file nomination papers and run
against him. while if Mr.. Paine is nominated he
Is regarded as sure TO be defeated. The republ-
cans al present seem to have only the alterna-
hyes of nominating a strong man and precipi-
tating bolt or n weak one and marching to
sure defeat. The problem is an unfortunate
one to be solved the afternoon before election,
and may cause them the loss of the state.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Star.
ALBANY, Nov. 8.
Gov. Flowers proclamation last night was
surprise to the republicans as 1t was also to a
large number of democrats. Few believed that
the position OF the state government would be
so authoritstively defined. The entire state
government is democratic, and if influenced by
craftsmanship at all would OF course support the
enforcement of the instructions contained in
Lieutenant Governor Sheehans circular.
There is no doubt, after this proclama-
ton. that the strict letter of the
state election and penal codes will be followed.
The consequences. If serious, being matter
with which the federal as well as the state au-
thorities may be charged. it is thought that
both sides will see the wisdom Of moderation
and that conservative judgments will rule on

Thinks Rainmaters should Have q Chance.
To the Editor of The Evening star
In the interest Of science il is hoped tina. you
will permit me to say few words in defense Of
the rainmaking experiments For years past
scientists have held that rain could be produced
by explosions in midair. but those believing in
the theory have not had money with which to
give it trial.
II seems TO me that the people Of Washing
ton are unduly impatient with the experiments
made the other night They have frequently
been aroused from their slumbers BY much
heavier reports Of lightning aud have submitted
meekly 10 the discomfort They yell and
hurrah at the lannon's roar on Fourth o. July,
and il Is strange that in age Of scientific
progress we could not stand a little incon-
venience for the sake Of the immense amount
Of benefit that might result 10 the farmers On
whom we are 90 largely dependent. X q. u.
