JOSEPH II. MANLRY.
nftcr setting forth several acts OF the
Democratic party, which, i'm his opinion.
have tended 10 produce this dissatisfac-
ton, Mr.. Manley continues: at is no
prophcsy to assert that the Republican
party will carry the majority of the con
gressional delegations in 20 states out OF
the a., and thus have clear majority In
the next house of representatives which
will end all effort i'm the presidential elec-
tion OF 20 or an attempt to throw the
election OF president and vice president
into the house. Ii is reasonably assured
that the Republicans will organize the
next house Of representatives, having n
majority varying from 10 TO 25 All indl-
cations point TO the defeat Of Mr.. Springer
of Illinois, Holman in Indiana and VII
son in West Virginia.
New York the Pivotal State.
'Thc Democrats win lose after March 4
next their ascendency in the United States
senate. Unfortunately, for two years, the
Populsts will hold tho balance of power
In the senate Great rs is the interest in
the election In every section Of the country
New York is the pivotal state, the section
20 which all eyes are turned, and after all
tho most important i'm It's results of any
election that viii occur on Tuesday.
What is 20 be the result i'm New York; Is
tho inquiry from every quarter.
From a careful survey OF the situation,
taking into consideration all the different
elements and forces Mt work, IL does not
seem in the possibilities 20 defeat Mr..
Morton. Ii must be remembered that in
the past 90 years the Democratic party has
never carrie d an election in New York by
majority greater than $4,000, nor has
any party for that matter, with the single
exception of Cleveland for governor over
Folger and the defeat OF Maynard last
year, both phenomenal elections; In the
-enn Casa resnlting from q refusal Of 200, 900
Republicans TO endorse it's party's action
and in tAe other from nearly 100000 Dem
ocrats condemning the conduct of its own
party. The dissatisfaction of the Wheeler
Democrats alone will be sufficient TO cause
Mr.. Hills defeat"
Tammany Must Be Routed.
Mr.. Manley claims that the business de-
preston ,all have its effect and turn votes
into the Republican column. He also as
serts that the fight against Tammany in
this city and state will have its effect.
"The revolution against Tammany," he
says, twill not stop with simply voting
the municipal reform ticket. Tho people
who are determined TO overthrow Tam
many know very we'll that their efforts
viii have been in vain IL they simply over
throw the Tammany organization in the
city, and permit the Tammany organiza-
tion to succeed in the state. To make their
work thorough and successful they must
not only defeat Grant in New York, but
they must defeat Hill in the state"
Tho Last sunday
OF tho political campaign was an exceed
ingly dull day ut the headquarters of tho
various organizations. Importance seemed
to be attached TO the assertion that Colonel
Strong had written a letter to a police
captain asking -hiIn-to have his men
examine the registers of the lodging houses
in his precinct so that intending voters
claiming residence there whose names are
not on the registers on election day may
be arrested
The committee OF 20 last night issued an
endorsement of the Strong Goh ticket,
signed by large number OF prominent
business men. They also gave out letters
to show the support Of the 7O's ticket by
German Americans and by the Retail
Grocers' union. Another document made
public was the arralgnment Of Tammany
management of the department of chari-
ties and corrections. the Investigations
into the methods in the insane asylums
under its care boing especially referred to.
A number OF clergymen in this city
yesterday preached sermons denouncing
municipal corruption, and urging their
hearers to oppose Tammany Hall at this
election, not on party but on public and
moral grounds
At the Republican state headquarters
last night dispatch from Albany was r.
ceived announcing that the attorney gen.
eral had decided. that under the election
law no voter may occupy the voting booth
moro than 10 minutes, instead of 40 as
claimed by some; so that any person will.
fully obstructing or delaying other voters
by occupying booth longer than the law
permits is guilty Of a criminal offonsc.
