Situation in New

York.

New York,

Nov. 5.—The preparations

necessary for

the

election

contest which

occurs tomorrow

have

all been made.

Lines are drawn and the battle will open

with the Republicans confident of victory.

Advices received today

from all parts of

the country are of the same tenor. They

indicate

that

some

surprising

result

will take

place in

the

most

un-

expected quarters. The Democrats have

been doing their utmost to delude the

workingmen with their free trade scheme,

but it is evidenced from the news received

here that the workingmen have at last got

their eyes open to the true state of affairs.

In this city it is confidently predicted that

Cleveland's majority will be much less than

even conservative Democrats believe. The

bitter internecine war in this city has

shown its disastrous results in the last few

days. There is going to be more trading

between the Democratic factions than was

never known before. The National and

State committees have been doing their

best to stop the fight, but each faction is

going to save itself in local politics at the

expense of the National, and in some in-

stances the State ticket. It is whispered

around tonight that each Democratic fac-

tion is supplied at the polls with Republican

electoral ballots; that these electoral ballots

would be bunched with the Democratic

State and faction city tickets, and that the

district managers had received word to trade

a Democratic vote for Republican electoral

ticket wherever a Republican vote could be

secured for the faction's city ticket. The

Democratic managers got wind of this

scheme early this evening, and have been

doing everything to prevent its being car-

ried out. So far their efforts have been

without avail. The leaders of the different

factions openly state that the election of

their County ticket is of greater importance

than the election of a dozen National tick-

ets,

This ugly feeling has been

brought about through the orders

said to have emanated from Grover

Cleveland. The government employes here

stand by Tammany

Hall, and when the

County Democracy, who nominated Cleve-

land at Chicago, heard of this, they adopted

the only possible scheme to save their or-

ganization from extinction, as the evi-

dence in the possession of the County

Democracy as to Cleveland's advice is said

to be very authentic. They decline to make

any change in their programme, or rather

state that there is no such programme. If

any

monkeying is to be done it

will be by the Tammany

men.

There was a private consultation of the

members of the National Committee early

today and a committee was appointed to

see what could be done to save the

slaughter of the National ticket. This

committee has been to work all the

evening and the only result reached or the

only satisfaction received has been in about

these words "We are right. It is the

other fellows' doings." Nevertheless there

is a great deal of uneasiness in

Democratic circles tonight. Where hope

existed before it seems to be now

clear that the ticket will be badly beaten in

the State. Even bets have been made in a

quiet way that 3,000 will be the Democratic

plurality over the Republicans in the city

of New York, and that Kings county won't

give over 11,000 for the Democratic electoral

ticket. Should this be the result it would

mean the carrying of the State by the Re-

publicans, as it is confidently predicted that

their ticket will come to Harlem river with

between 50,000 and 60,000 plurality, which

will give the Republican ticket a plurality

between 15,000 and 18,000 in this State.

There was a great deal of betting in Wall-st.

today, and one wager of $10,000 even was

made and covered that Harrison would be

elected.
