New York, Nov. 5.-Republicans and
Democrats are resting on the eve Of bat
tie. Since Saturday night there have been
no developments in political circles In
this state.
Only at the headquarters and at the
leading political clubs were there any
traces of political activity. Those in
charge OF the campaign employed their
time in debating statements for publica-
ton and writing final letters OF warning,
OF admonition or OF instruction TO party
leaders in the city or up the state.
Both Republican and Democratic lead
ers revised their figures and election es-
timates and both sides moved them up
peg or two.
on the Democratic side Croker claims
the borough of Manhattan oy 10000 plu-
rality. The Democrats have not given out
results OF their canvass by counties and
assembly districts but IL is understood
that they expect to carry New York state
by from 20 900 20 $1,000 plurality
The Republican leaders on the other
hand claim the state by not less than 1O0-
600 plurality. Senator Chauncey nj. De-

ion that the Republicans Will come down

THE REASON WHY.

THE REASON WHY.
Because Rev. Mr.. Nutting said that for
days almost the entire front page of
the Providence Journal had been given
up to vilifying a reputable gentleman,
and he. Rev. Mr.. Nutting, knew how he
should east his vote tomorrow.
1t will not be for Mr.. Granger!
The sermon electrified the congregation
and it was widely commented upon and
heartily commended today.
Mr.. n. b. Goldsmith whose office is in
Butler Exchange said, Saturday: II was
born in Kentucky. | am Democrat by
birth and Democracy is bred in my bones.
/ never voted anything but the Demo-
cratic ticket but Tuesday ! vote for
Isaac l.. Goff. If one half the things
said about him by the Providence Jour
nal are true; If he has built up Washing
ton Park and helped get schools for the
education OF the masses, he's the man
for me- We want him at the city hall
and lot more just like him."
AS TO the use OF James Shaw, Jr.'s
name in behalf OF Col. Goff. IT was not
an intentional one. IL was a clerical mis-
take The name intended was that OF
James H. Shaw still, all the comfort
the paresis political editor OF the Jour-
nal gets out Of the mistake Is that James
Shaw, Jr., Will not vote Tor Bryan neith-
er will he vote for any man who says
he will vote for Bryan. That is the trick
that is going TO kill Mr.. Granger.
