OUR WEEKLY NEW YORK LETTER.

THE DEMOCRATS HAD TO ENCO'
HAT Poor, ON THE ELECTION
NEW YORK. Oct. 31-Last night
practically. closed the campaign. To-
day there VIII be nothing done except
ing the great Business Mems parade,
and that is rather a national than
local affair.
HEADQUARTERS were closed today.
The Republican state machine lead
ers closed their campaign full of hope
and confidence, and claim to have MADE
the best canvass of the state they have
put up in years.
Their state campaign has cost them
something over 100000, and they be-
Meve that their majority will reach up
wards Of ZOO. The Republican state
machine has held meetings IN every
county in the state TO the number Oh at
least a dozen, and IN many Oh tue
counties 25 TO 80. They have not made
as much noise as in their campaigns
of previous years, but have employed
more speakers and sent out more lit
erature than has ever before been nan
died by a Republican campaign COM
mittee in the state
DEMOCRATIC VIGOR.
The free silver Democrats also closed
their campaign yesterday. The work
they have done has been against al
most unsurmountable obstacles. Inc
campaign was opened almost three
weeks later than 1t should have been,
and Chairman DanfOrth and FIRST AS
sistant Colonel Truman found them
selves expected to make bricks without
straw. There was hardly dollar IN
their treasury. They did not nave
even money TO rent suitable headquar-
tiers.
1t has looked like a dead campaign
in this city, but Tammany Hall, not
even in the palmiest days OF Richard
Croker, backed by the millions of pat
ronage of the municipality, has never
made more faithful or active cam
paign than has been carried out by
Leader Sheehan.
He was promised $4,000 from the
national committee for his campaign.
He did not get a cent The division on
the lines of the Chicago platform took
away from Tammany a number of its
most eloquent and active orators. Each
assembly district has been called upon
10 pay it's own expenses in everything
except $50 for each election district for
registration and election day purposes.
Tammany's orators have contributed
their services free of charge and the
organiza ton has held meetings from
three to ten a night in every district
in the city for the past four weeks
Tammanys campaign viii not end an
til Monday Over 80 small meetings
viii be held tonight and a number more
on Monday evening.
AN APPEAL FOR PALMER.
National Democrats of prominence
last night issued an address to Demo-
Gratis, appealing to them 10 cast their |
votes for Palmer and Buckner, rather |
than for Mckinley and Hobart 1t is |!
based on the fact that in this state
the success of honest money is sure
by an overwhelming vote, and it says I
that the most favorable outcome of |
the campaign now to be sought viii be /
q large Palmer vote, Jnat all men may |
know that the Democracy of this cOun-
try viii hereafter stand on Democratic
ground. The address reads in part:
I'VE appeal to the Democrats of New
York state to cast their votes manfully
for Palmer and Buckner, for Griffith,
IIenrichs and Clinton. The Democrats
of the west and south especially have
the right to ask that the sentiments of
real Democracy shall be expressed at
the polls here, where there can be no
fear that such an expression involves
any risk of POpulist success. We urge
them To show their loyalty to sound
party principles as well as to honest
money by voting for the state and
local candidates ward by the
Democratic organization We
urge them also to strengthen the cause
Of honest money by voting for honest
money representatives in congress nom
mated by the National Democratic
party.
