New York, Nov. 5,—[Special.]—Here

Cleveland's administration.

Attitude on pension measures.
The Sack ville incident.

Harrison’s soldier vote.
Irish-republican influence.
Both sides claim gains from each of
these quarters and botli sides appear sin¬
cere in assuming these gains.
The feeling to-day is one of extreme
trepidation. Will Dudley prove Har¬
rison’s Burchard ? Or will the private
correspondence of the ex-British minis¬
ter result in the downfall of the Presi¬
dent ? There has been a noticable lack
of cheerful assurance at the headquarters
of both parties within the last 12 hours.
It means the great skirmish is closing up
and the managers are anxious for the
fray of real battle.
Watch tlie bulletin boards to-morrow !
New York, Nov. 5.—[Special.]—The
campaign closed to-night, with the pros¬
pect altogether favorable to the support¬
ers of Mr. Cleveland. The uncertainties
of the situation must be recognized, and
are admitted by every candid observer;
but a fair estimate of the various ele¬
ments which enter into the account
leaves the balance inclined in favor of
the democrats. So far as New York is
concerned, and New York is everywhere
recognized as the decisive state, these
m nts can be concisely stated, and their
relative weight pretty accurately mens'
tired.
Mr. Cleveland was clecti d four years
ago in the face of great obstacles arising
from the known disaffection of Tamma¬
ny hall and the large contingent of dem¬
ocratic voters which it controls, and
from the hardly suspected intrigue of
certain dignitaries of the t atholie church
with the republican managers in favor
of Mr. Blaine. But for these two ele¬
ments. combining with the democratic
vote drawn into the Butler move¬
ment, Mr. ( 'lev, land would have carried
the state by a large plurality. On
the basis of the result in 1884, it
is as certain as anything in politics
that, if the tariff issue had not been pre¬
cipitated. Mr. Cleveland would have
been easily re-elected. Tammany Hall
is again supporting the ticket loyally-
the Blaine-Catholic church intrigue can'
not lie repeated, and the Butler demo
crats are hack in the party. On the
other hand. Mr. Cleveland lias gained the
support of many thousands who did not
venture to vote for him four years ago,
although they disliked Blaine—some be¬
cause they had such an overweening
dread of the democratic party; some be
cause they doubted Mr. Cleveland’s ca_
parity for the presidency; some because
they were prejudiced against him by the
stories about his personal character.
Among the business men of the state.
Mr. Cleveland will secure this year thou¬
sands of votes which went for Blaine
four years ago. A great many of these
changes never come to the knowledge of
the public. One of the leading hankers
of this city, a gentleman so well known
in financial circles throughout the coun¬
try that his name would lie recognized
in every large business community, was
four years ago an earnest and almost
virulent supporter of Blame. This year
lie has notified his intimate friends that
lie is going to vote for Mr. Cleve¬
land. but he has placi d restrictions
on an publication did of the fact, tlie
because lit not care to arouse
discussion w hich any such announce¬
ment would inevitably provoke. An
overwhelming majority of the Independ¬
ent Republicans personal who supported issue against Mr.
Cleveland on tlie as
Mr. Blaine in 1884 support him now on
the tariff issue as against Mr. Harrison.
In Brooklyn, where this movement was
particularly -trong. investigation has
shown that only two out of the commit¬
tee of 100 liafepiendent Gen. Republicans Harrison, and of
1884 will vote for
there is no reason to suppose that the
proportion among the followers of that
movement is much more favorable to
the republicans than among the leaders.
Probably in other places the proportion former
may not go quite so high of those Clave
republicans who will support Mr.
land again this year, but whatever fall¬
ing oft then' lias been will be more than
made up by accessions fr m tlie same
class on the tariff issue.

eraiic votes to more than make up for
his gains, as compared with 1884, on all
other issues. This could only occur in
case there really were a serious tariff
scare, which was frightening away from
the democratic party a large 'percentage
of the working men. There is no reason
to believe that any such effect has been
produced by the attempts of the republi¬
can organs and stump speakers to
frighten the laboring men. Cases are
reported which prove to be authentic
where a number of men in a particular
manufactory this will change their votes in
way and on this ground, but a great
many other alleged eases of the same
sort- do not stand examination, and it
may be said generally that, taking the
state as a whole, this class of voters does
not piromise to he large. But unless it is
very large, as has been said, other ele¬
ments which enter into the case will
secure Mr. Cleveland the state.
The closing weeks of the canvass have
undoubtedly helped the democratic cause.
The Sackville letter business has proved
a boomerang. So far as the Irish voters
are concerned, the prompt action of the
administration in ’’bouncing” Sackville
has prevented his letter from having any
bad effect, while, so far as other voters
are concerned, the exposure of the re¬
publican trick scheme to make capital by such
a has undoubtedly helped Mr.
Cleveland. The exposure of the whole¬
sale corruption which it is proposed to
cation practice in Indiana, through the publi¬
of Col. Dudley’s letter, inevitably
has the same effect upon this latter class
of voters. And, after all. this is the
class of voters which has decided every
great contest in this state for many
years. The candidate for president who
has had on his side the intelligent
independent carried New York, voters and of there New is York has
no rea¬
son in the world to suppose that this will
not prove previous true in 1888, as it has in so
many elections. Indeed, there
is every reason to suppose that this class
of voters will be more influential this
year titan ever before, because party ties
hang more loosely than ever before, and
the practice of independent voting has
become more common. When a state is
about to cast 1,250,000 of votes, and ev¬
erybody expects that the successful can¬
didate will have a comparatively small
margin (for even 80,006 plurality m New
York represents no more than 2,000 in
New Hampshire) it would be foolish for
any one to declare that either party is
certain to carry it; but this much can lie
said, that application of the same tests
which have governed the decision of ev¬
ery- presidential election for 20 years
leads inevitably to the conclusion that
Mr. Diet eland is to carry the pivotal
state.
INDIANA.
Tin* ImjiroNtiion Prevails that the Demo¬
crats are in the Read.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 5. — [Spe
cial.]—The outside work of the Indiana
campaign closed to-night with the mon¬
ster labor parades, in which each side
made gigantic efforts to outdo tlie other,
but the secret plotting and manoeuvring
goes on, and will continue until tiro bal¬
lots are in. It goes without saying that
never has Indiana passed through such
a campaign, and at the prosent time, al¬
most the evo of election, speculation as
to tlie result is just as wild as it was
three months ago. Democrats claim the
state by 8,000 or 10,000, and republicans
go how evtn so high is as 18,000. It is rumored-
truly not known, that the last
democratic poll shows a plurality for
that party of about 8,000. The republi¬
cans put their figrues much ah >ve this,
in the neighborhood of 10,000, it is said,
but no one takes any stock in either one
of these estimates. Predictions as to the
result are rarely made upon (Item, as

Casting up accounts at the present

need nut hesitate to pronounce the drift

and repeaters only excite them to the
most earnest work, which counts for
more than anything else that can be
done. Tlie Dudley- letter is generally
1 iked upon as likely to exert a great
deal of influence in determining tlie re¬
sult. There has been so much talk of
fraud and cor.uption and our purchasa¬
ble floating vote, that people are awaken¬
ing to a realization of the fact that po¬
litically, Indiana's position is unique. It
is not thought that it will result in many,
if any, republican conversions, but it
takes from the republicans every excuse
for that talk of morality which has here¬
tofore characterized their campaigns.
About the only new element that en¬
ters into calculations on the result is the
floating vote, which is variously esti¬
mated all the way from 15,000 to 30,000.
A fair estimate on the old ratio makes
this a I tout 18,000. It is useless to deny,
at least it is generally so accepted, that
the side which wins in this state must
carry the majority of that vote, what¬
ever it is. The republicans have plenty
of money, that seems to be conceded.
There is not near so much talk of funds
on tlie other side, but it is believed they
are also well supplied. Whether the out¬
rageous practices of l s 80 tire to lie re¬
vealed m this election remains to be
seen, but there is almost certain to be a
lilieral expenditure of funds on both
sides. The republicans for have thought, made more
preparation feel the need of “boodle" this, it is assistance and
more
than the democrats, and for this reason
they are apt to do more of it, but on
both -ides, it is probable that there will
n-'t l>e as much vote-buying as expected,
as there is a strong sentiment growing
up against the same.

Tlie Florida Vote luder DifflouItU%
Tallahassee, Nov. 5.-— [Special.]—The
political canvass in Florida closed Sattir
day. The state has been thoroughly can¬
vassed from Pensacola to Key West by
the candidates for governor and presi¬
dential electors of both parties.
In spite of obstacles imposed by rigid
quarantine regulations all counties have
been visited at their prominent points by
private conveyances, and the issues of
the day have been warmly discussed be¬
fore enthusiastic crowds. The old dem¬
ocratic war horses, together with those
of younger years, have been upon the
stump since August 21, discussing the
tariff and advocating a continuance of
honest democratic rule in state and na¬
tion.
Republican candidates have and orators
have been active, and lost no op¬
portunity they to be proclaim restored their purposes

Local candidates are alive, and have
stirred up every precinct thoroughly.
Tlie apparent result of this energy is

Feeling Sure of New York.
Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 5.—Ex-Mayor
Jonathan Scovillc, who as a democrat
lias also sat in congress, has been widely-
quoted by republicans as denouncing the
president's message and the St. Louis
platform as free trade documents, and as
saying he would vote as he thought, the
inference to be drawn being that he
would vote for protection. He has just
returned from New York, where he has
been looking over the political situation
in this state. He is quoted as saying in
conversation with Judge Cothran, that
he was satisfied Cleveland would carry
this state, and that ho would come to
Albany with a tremendous majority.
He considers that the democrats have
good cause to feel very jubilant ov*r tie-
outlook.
Outrage by Republicans.
Reading. Penn., Nov. 5.—Tlie demo¬
crats had a parade in Birdsborough, this
county. The place is full of iron mills,
and lias about 475 republican voters to
125 democratic. The latter have had
only one parade in the place in all pre¬
vious campaigns, and the republicans
carry- things with a high hand. Pieces
of cinder were hurled at the transparen¬
cies by tin* republicans, and a stone was
thrown at the carriage occupied by
Prison Inspector Cleminer. The missile
struck him on the head and made an
ugly scalp wound. He fell to the ground
unconscious, in which condition he re¬
mained an hour. Almost a riot ensued.
