the rule was the case of Chairman

quarters in the Fifth avenue hotel.
who. having paired his vote with n
friend in Utica, will remain here until
after the election. He said today that
nothing had occurred to change the
estimates Of Republican success al
ready made public. On the other hand.
Chairman Thatcher. at Democratic
headquarters, before leaving for AL
bany this evening, gave out an intima-
ton that Morton would not have more
than 10000 majority above the Harlem
river. and to overcome Hin would have
to have plura,ltles of over 10000 in
this city, at leas; 10000 in Kings coun-
ty. and from 1000 to 1900 in Richmond
county. Alr. Thatcher admitted. how
ever, that Erie county, which the Hill
men have been claiming by some 500
votes. was at best, doubtful.
Confident claims are made by both
sides on the local issue. The supporters
OF the committee oi seventy ticket pre-
dict that 1ammany Will be downed by
Il 'tldal wave" and say that for this
reason all estimates OF figures on the
local result are worthless. At the head
quarters OF Hugh Grant this afternoon.
the Tammany candidate for mayor, Mr.
Grant issued q statement In which he
asserts that tomorrow the Democrats In

city ticket headed by himself.
He continues: II shall assume the
mayortlity on January !, pledged 10
give offices only to men who can ana
will administer them for the public
good" and adds: Being Democrat,
/ shall use Democratic means to do
whatever the public needs to have
done"
MT Grant declares that the Lexow
committee has finally thrown aside
the cloak OF anxiety for the public
good and has appeared just as the
Fassatt committee appeared in the
week before election day In 1890 as an
utterly partisan Republican body"
Among other statements at the Grant
headquarters today was one that lhe
Hebrew order of B'Nal Birth was
working against Mr. Beekman. the
seventy's candidate for judge OF the
superior court, on the ground that he
had cast slur on their race by saylng
''the action OF your people Is contempti-
bls" when q committee OF the order
appeared before the legislature last
wear TO ask that the home for aged ana
infirm Hebrews In Yonkers be eN-
empted from taxation. In predicting
today the success of the anti-TammanY
ticket, Campaign Manager Jerome Oh
tha Committee Of seventy said he be-
lleved the voters would get TO the pUiis
early, and he was sure that In this
event the seventy's candidate woulu
win by large majority. "a,

There was good deal OF heavy pe.
ting at the st. James and other uptoMh
hotels today and also, in the stock ex-
change circles. The general odds We're
Ave 10 two on Morton as against AN,
and about the same In favor OF Strong
M against Grant. OF course there was
considerable variation In the terms OF
tho various wagers. but the odds noIeu
were about the average. There WAS
little betting on pluralitles.
