NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. Both
Democrats and Republicans claim to be
confident OF carrying New York State on
Tuesday. The campaign has been one of
the quietest in recent years. Few big
meetings have been held and these have
been confined to the large cities. The Re
publicans seem to have relied upon the
country being theirs without effort and the
Democrats have directed their attention to
city voters. The main issue of the cam
paign has been the excise plank injected
by Warner Miller into the Republican
platform.
Leading Democrats say that the issue
will be reversal OF last years verdict and
that the Democratic State ticket, headed
by General Horatio G. King for Secretary
of State will be elected by from 10000 to
$4,000 plurality.
Republican campaign managers predict
the reelection of their entire State ticket
by from 10000 to $4,000 plurality. The
Republicans claim to be able to elect
thirty-two of the fifty members of the
State Senate, and say of the $50 Assem- bly,
men returned ninety will be Republican.
In the city they hope to elect the fusion
ticket, but they are not overconfident.
The betting is 2 to 1 on the Tammany
ticket winning. The blanket ballot will
be tried for the first time in the Empire
State. In several cities and in a mum Der
of towns the Myers voting-machine will
be used.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. "a few poll
tical rallies in Louisville and other cities
tonight practically closed the most STIR
ri and aooraSaiva 20 m, in L
in forty years. There have been more pub
lie meetings, more speeches and closer
canvass than in any former campaign in
the State. There are four complete tickets
for State officers. headed respectively by
P. W. Hardin Cd, w. o. Bradley (R.), T.
s. Petit (Pop.) and T. B. Demaree (Pro.)
Every man on the four tickets IS well as
the candidates for the Legislature has
been in the field making speeches. The
Democratic ana Republican leaders have
been particularly active, canvassing every
county in the State.
Mr.. Hardin made horseback trips into
the mountains, where a candidate for State
office was never seen before The cam
Republican managers protesting to be con-
tident of victory, but either will be salts
fed with small plurality.
The most sanguine Democrats do not ex-
pect a plurality of more than 10, 600 for
Hardin, while conservative estimates range
from 5000 to 10000. 1t is conceded that
Hardin will lose heavily in all the cities
and towns on account of his silver views,
but it is claimed that he will receive the
full vote in the country precincts.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Nov. q
The political situation in this Territory is
such that both parties are completely at
sea- The unknown quantity is the Nor

brought to bear on the campaign. This
influence has been exercised beyond the
peradventure of doubt in favor OF the
Republican ticket. Judging by the expert
ences In the very recent past the Mormon
church is still the most potent factor in
Utah politics. The Democrats however,
are very confident and assert that there
are enough progressive and enlightened
Mormons who will vote the Democratic
ticket in order to resent the continued
meddling OF the church in political mat
ters to elect the Democratic ticket.
The Republicans claim the Territory by
about 5000 majority, while the Democrats
are confident of carrying it by big ma
jority but quote no figures. From strictly
bipartisan standpoint the chances, how
ever, are that the Republicans will control
the Legislature and consequently gain the
United States Senator. They will also
possibly elect most of the State officers,
with the possible exception OF the Gov
ernor, Secretary of State and one Supreme
Judge.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 2-On Tues
day Iowa will hold a general election for
State and county officers and to elect
new Legislature. State officers to be
elected are: Governor, Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor, Railroad Commissioner, Supreme
Judge and Superintendent of Public In
structlon. Both parties have sound
money platforms. The Democratic con-
vention adopted it's sound-money declara-
| ton after hard fight in the State conven-
ton. A detection of silver people was
threatened, but has not materialized.
COLUMBUS, ONO, Nov. 2.-The State
campaign practically closed tonight, but
| neither the Republican nor the Democratic
State committees would give to the United
| Press an estimate of the result, though
both Chairman Kurtz and Chairman An
| drews claimed to be confident that their
| respective parties would carry the State on
both the State and the legislative tickets.
| 1t is believed that uncertainty as to the
strength of the Populist party causes the
| unwillingness of the chairman to make
the usual estimates of the vote that have
| heretofore been given out on Saturday
night preceding election.
Among the Republicans it is claimed
| that the Republican State ticket will be
elected by from $1,000 to 10000.
