IN THE EMPIRE STATE.
New York, Nov. 4.-The election in New
York State tomorrow Will be for State
officers, with the exception of Governor.
The battle in this city will be between
the forces OF good government repre-
sented by the union ticket, and the fol-
lowers of Tammany Hall. The union, or
fusion county ticket, contains the names
of Republicans and leaders OF the New
York State Democracy, which is bitterly
opposed TO Tammany Hall. The Demo
cratic State, ticket, however, has been
indorsed by the State Democracy, and. It
is believed, win receive the support OF
the different factions.
The campafrn in this city closed tonight
without any extraordinary demonstration.

county ticket VIII be elected by from AO,-
600 10 60 900 majority, while the fusion
ticket managers are Just as confident that
Tammany " i'll not return 10 power. Both
sides declare that they VIII carry the
State by a comfortable majority
SITUATION IN BROOKLYN.
In Brooklyn, the local campaign has been
lively from the beginning. There are
three candidates for Mayor: Shepard. In
dependent Democrat; Grout Regular Dem
ocrat; and Wurster, Republican. Repub-
licans believe that Shepard willtake enough
votes from Grout to elect Wurster. while
Grout's managers feel confident that the
Republican ranks ill be depleted by Shep-
ard TO such an extent as to cause the cleo
ton OF the regular Democratic candidate.
Shepard, it is conceded, has no pros
poets of being elected. The probabilities
are that Wurster will poll within a few
thousand OF the fun Republican vote aud be
elected. AS in New York City, the Brnok-
lyn Democrats are united on the State
ticket.
The betting on the result of the election
is very light at the hotels, and in sporting
circles tonight. But few betting men

about the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Hoff-
man House, St. James Hotel, and the
Gilsey House, where, in former years there
