New York, Nov. 5,—[Special.]—Here are the points to be considered in consid¬ ering the result of to-morrows election : Cleveland's administration. Attitude on the Chinese question. Attitude on pension measures. The Sack ville incident. The Dudley letter. Indiana state pride. 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. The only ptsatble hope ape therefore, of or the the repuDU republi¬ been I 1 cans from the start has * of the tariff --- issue might that the lose injection Mi !r. Cleveland enough demo- * 011IFFIN. GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 6, iHsa. 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 Hoosier politicians nave had one or two bitter lessons as to the unreliability of the party | oil. Casting up accounts at the present time, taking one thing with another, one need nut hesitate to pronounce the drift in favor of the democrats. All the late developments interest of the campaign have been in the of tin's party, and the in¬ dications are that they have profited thereby. discovery This of the Dudley letter aided the democrats not only morally, but it has placed the republicans on the defensive, and thoroughly- aroused the democrats as to what the republican campaign manifest. was. The result of this is The working members of the party over the state conscientiously be¬ lieve they have a natural democratic plurality. tlint plurality and they asserted. are determined to see ’■boodle" and tlie talk colonization Republican of 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 should to power. Local candidates are alive, and have stirred up every precinct thoroughly. Tlie apparent result of this energy is being West Florida, reported which to headquarters is empire here. an in it¬ self, will roll up larger democratic ma¬ jorities than ever before.

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. Rig Compromise—Small Wager.
