"The postal card poll of Buffalo shows
that Golfer will carry the county by 5'6TS,
and the Rochester poll shows that Odell
will be cut from the general estimate OF
1900 and 3,4O0 to 2,426 This shows no
such shift from Republicans to Demo
Gratis as is taking place in New York and
Kings counties, and does not indicate
landslide to Ccler in the other cities of
the State"
The Brooklyn Eagles canvass shows
that Coler will probably have 26,S14
majority in Kings county
Mr.. Murphy, leader of Tammany' says
that the prediction of $4,000 majority
below the Bronx is too conservative. He
thinks Coler's majority will be 1850
over Van Wyck's in 1898.
Senator Plat says New York will go
Republican by $4,000. Mr.. Dunn, Re-
publican chairman. claims It by $4,000.
Mr.. John N. Carlisle, Democratic
chairman, claims that Coler's majority
will be $4,000, Mr.. Coler thinks tnis
estimate too low. He personally expects
60 900 majority
INV election is absolutely certain"
said he. There is no doubt of it.
have no figures to give out myself, but
will saw that / will be elected by a
vote that will be surprisingly large
Every indication shows that the Demo-
Gratis are united and are going to poll
a big vote.
The New York Journals poll shows
that Golfer will have a majority of "a, 1855
In this poll, New York is put down for
70. o24, Kings for 26,Sl9, and Erie (Buf-
falo), 1850.
The Washington Posts New York COR
respondent say that that both parties
express confidence, but Republicans are
uneasy and Democrats uncertain; the
vote is likely to be close and victory is
possible for either side. Here is the
| final summing up:
| GAS to the indications, there is to be
a great city Democratic majority, and a
great up-the-State Republican majority.
| 1t is metropolis versus the State. Can
Coler get as large a plurality in the ter
ritory comprising Greater New York as
| Cleveland got in 1892 which was 11l,oVo
| If he can, he will be the next Governor
of New York and possibly the next
| President of the United States. II he
can. it will mean that the Democrats will
elect majority of the Congressman and
make the next House Of Representatives
Democratic
The New York Worlds canvass shows
that the trend grows strongly toward
Coler, but that the State will probably
give Odell $500 majority but it says:
"On the face Of the figures, carefully
collected and compared the indications
now point to Mr. Odell9s reelection as
Governor by a small plurality.
But so close are these figures tlat a
slight change in the situation between
now and Tuesday might easily shift the
chance of victory to the Democratic
side.
Reports to The World from every
county in the State indicate very much
| smaller vote than was cast two years
ago. and perhaps smaller than four years
ago when Mr.. Roosevelt was elected
Governor by plurality of 1875
'The same reports indicate that while
the Republican vote will not show any
increase, the tendency of the Democratic
vote is just the other way.
1T is this obvious fact as revealed by
a most searching inquiry by the Demo
cratic leaders that encourages them to
believe that Mr.. Coler will overcome
the apparent lead of Odell up the State
and will therefore be elected"
