REPUBLICANS CLAIM NEW YORK
STATE BY 100000.

The Chairman of the Democratic
state Committee, However, says
the state VIII Go for Bryan by
A0.OOO-The Republicans Betting
Even Money That New York City
VIII Give Mckinley 10000 Ma
iority-They Also Count on Captur-
ing Every Congressman Except
Two.
New York, Nov. 1.-The campaign closed
in this state last night. 1t has been
series of hurrahs for the flag, appeals to
natriotism and arguments for conserva-
tisrn in financial and governmental affairs.
The sound money naval display week
ago and the monster street parade yester-
dav. in which democrats as we'll as repub-
ucans favoring the gold standard, took
part. mark the campaign as one of the
most enthusiastic ever conducted in the
Empire state.
The democrats have managed the cam
paign for Bryan and Sewall in seeming
" perfunctory way. With Senator Hill
silent, William C. Whitney an avowed
Mckinley man, and ex-Gov. Roswell L.
Flower and other leaders stumping for
Palmer and Buckner, it has been spir-
itless 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.
Mr.. Bryan has twice visited the state
and this city, which he termed the heart
of the enemys country" Enormous
crowds greeted him, but whether drawn
by curiosity or belief in the principles
which he urges can only be conjectured.
Throughout the state representative
speakers have harangued crowds and tons
Of literature have been distributed by both
Sides
The national democrats have conducted
a warm campaign for Palmer and Buck
her and are confident of making a show
ing at the polls which will justify them in
continuing their organization for future
work.
The prohibition and socialist labor par
ties have made their usual quiet cam
paigns.
The peoples party, after vain efforts to
obtain recognition on the democratic cleo
toral ticket, endorsed the Bryan and Sc
wall electors and took down their state
ticket, with the exception of their nominee
for judge of the court of appeals.
The republicans expect to carry the state
for Mckinley by from 100000 upwards.
They expect to elect Frank S. Black gov
ernor and to capture the congressional del
egation of "a, with possibly two exceptions.
They count upon electing 100 out of the $50
members of the state legislature. thus in
suring the election of a republican to sue
ceed David B. Hill in the United States
Senate.
Chairman Danforth of the democratic
state committee says he is confident of
carrying the state for Bryan by 10000.
He looks for a democratic plurality in this
city of 10000
The betting, however, is the other way.
Money is freely offered on even terms
that Mckinley will have over 100000 plu-
rality 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 Griffin, the national demo-
cratic nominee for governor, and his vote
is expected by some to equal that cast for
Porter, the regular democrat, for COVER
nor The division of the democratic vote
between Porter and Griffin makes it an
easy race for Black, the republican nomi-
nee.
Great interest in the result of the cleo
ton is shown. The registration is con-
siderably in excess of all former years,
and the heaviest vote on record will prop
ably be polled.
