ity of 55,O25, While Democrats Claim a

Populists Wen Represented by Candidates
NEW YORK, Nov 5.-The election this
year is exciting outside Of New York state
only where the contest is with the Pop
ulists instead OF between the old parties
IL is noticeable fact that there is less
fusion than usual this year and the mum
Der of third and fourth party candidates is
unusually large. The election of the rep
| resentatives in congress will be held in all
the states of the Union except Maine, Ore
gon and Vermont, which have already
| chosen their congressman. The territories
of New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and
| Utah will each elect one delegate TO con
| gress. The election of state officers etc,
will occur in thirty states Legislatures
will be elected in two others, and a consti-
tutional amendment will be voted upon In
one-Virginia.
In Colorado many Of the city Populists
have repudiated Governor Waite, but the
party in the agricultural and mining dis
| tricts seem more enthusiastic for him than
two years ago. The fact that women will
vote this year makes the outcome uncer-
tain. In Tennessee the Republicans and
Democrats have the field all to themselves,
as the Peoples party in that state have
indorsed the candidates on both tickets.
In most of the western states where there
was fusion last year each party is going it
| alone. In Nevada the silver men have
nominated straight ticket.
In'every western state, and most Of the
middle and southern states, the Peoples
party have nominated tickets. In some
| instances in the south the Republicans
have indorsed the Peoples party candi-
dates, and in South Carolina they have
made no nominations at all, The Prohibi-
tionists have placed tickets in every state
/ except Nevada and Tennessee
The last Sunday of the political cam
paign was an exceedingly dull day at the
headquarters in this city of the various or
ganization John Boyd Thacher was in
charge of the Democratic state headquar-
ters at the Park Avenue hotel, but he
started for his home in Albany last night
OF the other managers who have been
| prominent mere Major Hinckley will vote
at Poughkeepsie, Mr., Huston in Pen Yam
and Lieutenant Governor Sheehan in Buff
falo
Chairman Hackett will probably remain
at the Republican headquarters at the
| Fifth Avenue hotel until after election
day, having paired his vote with some one
ut his home in Utica Most of his lieuten-
ants, including Mr. Kenyon, have already
gone to their home districts.
The headquarters of the seventy's can
didate for mayor, Colonel Strong, were
closed yesterday. AT the headquarters of
Hugh j. Grant, in the Union Square hotel,
there were number of visitors, and the
usual reports of designations from the
state Democracy were given out 1t was
announced that j. Rockwell Fay and a
number of others had left the state Demo
cratic organization in the Twenty third
assembly dictrict, and would support
Grant,
Importance seemed to be attached to the
assertion that Colonel Strong had written
a letter to a police captain asking him to
have his men examine the registers Of the
lodging HOUSES in his precinct, so that in
tending voters claiming residence there,
whose names are not ON the registers on
election day, may be arrested,
At the State Democracy headquarters in
East Twenty third street denial was made
of the statement which has been generally
made that the Tammany candidates for
alderman and assemblyman in the Ninth
assembly district have been indorsed by
the State Democracy.
The World today says that during the
past week it has been in communication
with the chairman of the Democratic and
/ Republican county committees through
, out the state. 1t prints a table giving a
resume of the claims made by both parties
, rs to each Of the pluralities for Hill OF
, Norton which indicates that according to
the views taken by the chairmen of the va
rious Democratic county committees, Da-
vid b. Hill will win by 2l,S25 plurality
while the chairmen of the Republican com
mittees having charge Of their party S can,
, vass in the sixty counties comprising the
state claim that Levi p Morton is to be
next governor. They figure that he will
have 55,O25 plurality.
According to the Democratic estimates
Morton, it is conceded, will carry the state
outside of New York county by about 49,
, 175. The Republicans claim that Morton's
: plurality above the Harlem bridge will bt
about lU0,25O. In other words, if Hill is &c
be the next governor he will have to carry
New York county by about 10000, accord
t ing to the Democratic estimates, OF byup
@ ward of 100000 if the Republican figures
g as TO the probable result for the rest of the
D state are correct.
