NEW YORK. Nov. 5-The political cam
paign of 1900 National and State, is end
I'D. except the routine work of watching
for attempts at fraud and getting out the
vote. Tomorrow the votes viii be cast
and counted.
In this State the polls open at o'clock
in the morning and close at o'clock in
the afternoon. The voting hours are sub
stantially tie same in all States, except in
a few of them the polls are open until 6
O'Clock in the afternoon and in few they
close at O'Clock The counting of the
ballots begins as soon as the polls are
closed and before 10 o'clock the result of
the National contest should be known
throughout the country unless the vote is
unusually close.
The active work of the Republican cam
paign ended on Saturday with the mana
gers of the national contest protesting
absolute confidence of the result. The
only active campaigning going on today
in any State is in Nebraska, where Mr..
Bryan has undertaken to make twenty
five speeches.
The managers of both parties have
made their final estimates of the result.
The Republican managers in this city and
at the national headquarters in Chicago,
express entire confidence in the re-elec-
ton OF President Mckinley by a largely
increased majority of the electoral vote
They claim that their returns from the
campaign in all sections Of the country
show that Mckinley and Roosevelt Will
certainly carry twenty-seven States. hav-
ing 294 electoral votes. They also claim
TO be very hopeful OF Nebraska, but in
their final table have placed that State in
the doubtful column and they claim there
is a good chance of capturing the three
electoral votes OF Utah. which would
make a grand total Of 500, according to
their figuring.
The claim of the Democratic National
Committee is put forth in round numbers.
It is $40 electoral votes for Mr.. Bryan.
The New York Journal claims that Mr..
Bryan will win. even without New York,
1t claims Ohio. Illinois. Indiana, Mary
land, West Virginia. Delaware, and Ken
tIaky as assUredly Democratic.
Richard Croker, Democratic State lead
er, said today:
The people Will be surprised by the
result of the election. Bryan is going to
be elected, sure. l would not be a bit sur
prised if he got a plurality of S0,0 000 in the
city. If Mr.. Bryan carries New York,
Ohio and Illinois, he will be elected, and
he stands a good chance of getting all of
them. Washing on, South Dakota, and
Wyoming are safe, and Mr.. Bryan will
carry every State that he did in 1896.
Kansas and Nebraska have never been in
doubt, and Maryland and Kentucky Will
go for Bryan sure"
John A. Mason, Secretary of the Demo-
cratic State Committee. today said: New
York State will go for Bryan by $4,000. at
least
This is the snal estimate cf B. B. Gdeil
Chairman of the State Committee, and
Republics candidate for Governor:
New York State will give Mckinley
plurality of 1000. This is conserva-
tive estimate. and is based on the rock
bottom figures from the canvass in all the
counties. The Republican candidates en-
the State ticket Will be elected by plura.-
tiles which will be well up to the ma
tional ticket.
Republicans viii make substantial
gains in the Congressional districts, and
the delegations in the next House of Rep
resentatives will be fully 40 to one Re
publican. twenty-five of the thirty-four
districts will send Republicans beyond a
doubt, and six others Will, in all prob
ability, be found in the Republican col
umn.
The State Senate will also have an in
creased Republican majority OF the fifty
districts, twenty-sN are now Republican
and twenty-four Democratic. Conserva-
tive estimates from all districts indicate
that thirty-three are sure to go Repubh-
can, while in four others the Republicans
have more than a fighting chance.
The Republicans will also have larg-
er majority in the Assembly than they now
have. OF the $50 Assembly districts in the
State ninety-four are absolutely safe for
the Republicans and four others are more
than likely to elect Republicans
