He Predicts an Overwhelming Republic
can Victory.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-Joseph II. Man
lev, chairman of the Republican
national executive committee. gave out
An interview at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
In it he says that wherever an election
has occurred during the last six months.
whether in Oregon, Vermont, Alabama,
Maine, Georgia or in Connecticut, the
result has been the same. That is the
DRIFT and trend is all from the Demo-
cratic to the Republican party, and the
pause, he says, lie to be found in the dis.
jstisiaction OF the people with the pres-
ent Democratic administration. After
setting forth several acts of the Demo-
cratic party which, in his opinion. tended
to produce this dissatiHfaction, DIR. Man.
10y continued:
"It is not prophecy to assert that the
Republicans will carry the majority OF
the congressional delegates in 26 states
out of A, and thus have clear major
ity of the states in the next house OF
represents tatives, which will end all eff
fort in the presidential election of 1896 OF
an attempt to throw the election of
president and vice-president into the
house. 1t 10 reasonably assured that
the Republicans will organize the next
house of representatives., having q ma
jority varying from 10 to 25. All iudica-
tions point to the defeat of Mr.. Springer
of Illinois; Holman in Indiana and
Wilson in West Virginia.
'The Democrats will lose after the
4th OF March next their ascendancy in
the senate. Unfortunately, for two
years the Populists will hold the balance
of power in the senate. Their number
will be increased theve to six. Governor
Cillman of South Carolina-his election
to the senate is sssured-will give them
six members, and it is very probable
that the Republicans will have AZ 'sens-
tors and the Democrats 40 after the
9TH OF next March.
"Great es is interest in the election in
every section of the country, New York
is still the pivotal state, and all eyes
are turned on it, as it is the most inn
portsnt in it's results of any election
that will occur on Tuesday.
What ie to be the result in New
York? 10 the inquiry from every quar-
ter. From careful survey of the aitu-
stion, taking into consideration all the
different elements and forces at work,
it does net seem in the possibilities TO
defeat Mr.. Morton. 1t must be rsmem-
bered that in the past 20 years the
Democratic party has never carried an
election in New York by majority
greater than $4,000, nor has any party
for that matter, with the single excep-
tion Of Cleveland for governor over Fol-
ger, and the defeat of Maynard last
year, but these were phenomenal cleo
tions-in the one case resulting from q
refusal of 100000 Republicans to en-
dorse its party's action, and the other
from nearly 100000 Democrats con-
demning the conduct of its own party.
The disaffection of the Wheeler Demo.
Gratis alone will be sufficient to cause
Mr.. Hills defeat."
Mr.. Manley claims that the late bust
ness depression will prove its effect and
turn votes into the Republican column.
He also asserts that the fight against
Tammany in this city and state will
have its effect.
"The revolution against Tammany,"
said he, Twill not stop with simply vot-
ing the municipal reform ticket. The
people who are determined to overthrow
Tammany know very well that their
efforts will have been in vain if they
simply overthrow the Tammany organi-
cation and permit the Tammany organi-
zation to succeed in the state. They
must make their work thorough; they
must defeat Grant in the city, and they
must and will defeat Hill 10 the etate."
