Washington, Nov. 2.—[Special.]—“I want to toll you,” said Col. Terry, of the treasury department, “of a little joke I got off on Commissioner Miller ti-flay. I went down and told him in the most se¬ rious tone of \ oice that a thing had just happened that would causo Cleveland a great loss of votes. The commissioner flushed somewhat, and, with a look of real anxiety, asked what was the mat¬ ter. “ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘a Chinaman in In¬ dianapolis wrote to the Chinese minister here and asked him how he should vote, and the minister responded that he should advise him to vote for Harrison by all means, ns Harrison's reoord was good on the Chinese question.’ “By this time the commissioner had seen the point and we had a good laugh over it." Col. Terry, whose home Is in New York, thinks the demoerats will carry the state by a much larger majority than has yet been named. “Our people are claiming the »tate by 90,000, but they really expect 75,000. They are not bragging at all, bnt there is an undercurrent of absolute confidence of the state’s going for Cleveland by a very lurge majority.” There was considerable electien bet¬ ting Henry at Willard's, among the bookmakers. $1,00D Stedeker bet Dave Gideon to $6,000 that Grant would beat Hewitt for mayor of New York.

Blnine’t Doctored Speech. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 2.—The Asso¬ ciated Press report of Blaine’s speech in Albany yesterday was “doctored" last evening to suit the afternoon news from Washington concerning Sackville.

Washington, D.C., Nov. 2.—[Special.] Politicians who have returned here from New York, report that there is a big scare among the republican managers over a story to the effect that a letter has gotten away from the recipient, in which it is alleged that Harrison gave assur¬ ances that if elected president he would not ask Blaine to beoome a member of his cabinet, it would n»t be strange if Harrison had made such a thousand* pledge in viaw of the fact that so many of the late Senator Conklimf’s friends are going back on the republican party that rather than have an administration would be most certainly dominated by Conkling’s bitter enemy, if Harrison, ih the event of his election, should have Blaine as secretary of state. It is well known that the general feeling that Mr. Blaine, as the ruling spirit in the repub- lioan councils, ha* greatly embarrassed Harrison and his friends, and that it will Lose them thousands of votes in New York state.

The Times says, in a further notice of the Sackville affair: “If the interests of the two greatest communities in the world were not at stake the treatment of the Sackville in¬ cident would merely excite a passing sensation and amusement. A more ri¬ diculous spectacle has rarely been flur¬ wit¬ nessed in any civil country than the ried and unmannerly haste with which America has endeavored to put a slight deal on England before the latter could with the matter one way or the other. Mr. Bayard has had the satisfaction of proving to the world that he can be as contemptuously disregardful of the de¬ cencies of international intercourse and the dignity of the nation he represents as Mr. Blaine himself. It was never denied that Lord Sackvilie's indiscretion consti¬ tuted a cause Cleveland for removing and Secretary him.

The Pi all Mall Gazette says: iys: “If ‘ Secrc- tary Bayard’s rebuke of Lord Sackville fails to convince Irish voters that Presi¬ dent Cleveland can bo relied upon to check John Bull as much as any other man, we do not see what there is left for him to do short of placing Lord Sack¬ ville under arrest and escorting him to the frontier. How silly it all is ! How much Americans will despise themselves for it when the election fever is over ! Suppose Minister Phelps pseudo-American had written a private letter to some during the election in England, saying that althodgh Mr. Gladstone’s party seemed to be more in accord with ican principles, yet lord Saulisbury could be trusted to concede all the needed.
