New York, Nov. 1.-The campaign
closed in this state last night. 1t has
been series of hurrahs for the nag
appeals to patriotism and arguments
for conservatism in financial and gov
ernment affairs.
The sound money naval display Il
week ago and the monster street parade
yesterday, in which Democrats as well
as Republicans favoring the gold stand
ard took part. mark the campaign as
one of the most enthusiastic ever con-
Quoted in the Empire state.
The Democrats have managed their
campaign for Bryan and SeWall in a
seemingly perfunctory way. With SEN
ator Hill silent, William C. Whitney an
avowed Mckinley man, and ex-Gover-
nor Roswell p. Flower and other lead
ers stumping for Palmer and Buckner.
it has been a spiritless campaign. Hard
work has been done, however, among
the labor men and the working classes,
and the campaign of education will be
kept up until Tuesday.
MIR. Bryan has twice visited the state
and this city, which he termed the
heart of the enemy's country" Enor-
nous crowds greeted him, but whether
drawn by curiosity or belief in the prin-
ciples which he urges, can only be con-
jectured.
Throughout the state speakers have
harangued crowds and tons of litera-
ture have been distributed by both
sides.
The national Democrats have con-
Quoted a warm campaign for Palmer
and Buckner and are confident Of maxi
ing II show at the polls which will JUS
tify them in continuing their orSaniZa-
tion for future work. The Prohibition
and Socialist labor parties have made
their usual quiet campaigns. The Peo-
pies party, after vain efforts to obtain
recognition on the Democratic electoral
| ticket, endorsed the Bryan and Sewall
electors and took down their state
ticket, with the exception of their nomi-
nee for judge of the court of appeals.
M'KINLEY WILL RECEIVE 200, 900
MAJORITY.
The Republicans expect to carry the
state for Mckinley by from 100000 up
wards. They expect to elect Frank s.
Black governor and to capture the con-
gressional delegation of thrtyfour with
possibly two exceptions. They count
upon electing 100 out of $50 members of
the state legislature. thus insuring the
election of u Republican to succeed
ate.
Chairman Danforth, of the Demo-
cratic state committee says he is con-
fdent of carrying the state for Bryan
by 10000. He looks for Democratic
plurality in this city of 10000. The bet
ting, however, is the other way. Money
is freely offered on even terms that Nc
Kinley will have over 100000 plurality
in the state and over 10000 in this city.
A great many Democrats who will
vote for Mckinley are expected to cast
their ballots for Griffith, the national
Democratic nominee for governor, and
his vote is expected by some to equal
that cast for Porter the regular Demo-
crat for governor. The division of the
Democratic vote between Porter and
Griffin makes it an easy race for Black,
the Republican nominee Great timer
est in the result of the election is shown
The registration is considerably in eX-
cess of all former years, and the heav-
lest vote on record will probably be
polled.
