The Labor Vote—Trading on the Mu- nicipal Tickete—The Indepen- dent Republican Strength. MR. BLAINE’S CONFIDENCE. He Admits There is One Element of Doubt. Special Dispatch to Tar Evesinc StaR: ‘Naw York, November 3. ‘The outside work ofthe campaign in this city closed on Saturday afternoon and night with two very large and spirited processions in behalf of Gov. Cleveland. That of the business men was Temarkable for the number and character of the men comprising it Itisseldom that so fine a body 18 seen in any public displuy, especially a political one, Men worth thousands, even mil- Uons, tramped side by side with their ¢mployes for miles up Broadway and Fifth avenue to the re- Viewing stand on Madison square. They repre- sented every conceivable channel of trade, com- merce and political interest; for there were quite a large number am ong them who haveacted hereto- fore with the republican and other parties. ‘They came in the various departments of Lusiness, as telegraphed Tae Star on Saturday from the lead- ing houses of the city. The demonstration at night by Tammany Hall was also a very large and enthusiastic one. There must have been 50,000 men on parade, and there seemed to be along the whole line a feeling of entire harmony for the sup- port of the national democratic ticket, which man- ifested iteelt very enthusiastically when passing the stand where Gov. Cleveland and other prom!- nent democrats reviewed i. ‘The two demonstra- Wons enthused the whole city, Miling the hotels with cheering men, capturing the audlences in the theaters, and making the streets resonant with shoute and songs till far towards Sunday morning. ‘THE INSIDE WORK—THE BALLOTS. ‘To-day all of the work is progressiug inside. The ‘two state and the two national committees are busy attending to details. ‘Ihe distribution of the Dallots began this morning. This 1s a great work 4m itself. There are 712 election districts in New York city, with seven tickets to be voted for, while 4m the eleventh district there are eight, where a new civil justice 1s to beelected. There are usu- ally printed 8,000 ballots for each district, which makes 2,136,000. This must be multiplied by the number of candidates to be voted for, which gives total of 14,952,000, or about 15,000,000, when the Rew dlsurict is added. Martin B Brown, the prip- ter, in Park place, who 1s printing the democratfe Uckets for only one organization, says that It takes about 3,000 Women and giris to’ fold these ballots and to put them In bunches secured by rubber straj addition to this, Mr. Brown contracts to send @ set of Vallots through the mail to every Rouse in the city. He has also printed 2,000,000 etreulars and special tickets for candidates, making his grand total abgut 40,000,000 ballots. But there ‘are four other printing Houses doiug the work for other organizations, which, in Mr. Brown's opin- ion, will print 120,000,000 mare ballots, makin enormous total, ih round numbers, of 150,000,000. ‘No one would Nardly dream of such a total, unless amare of some of the figures, The greatest care 13 taken in printing the tickets tosee that every name 4s plainly and accurately given. ‘There are a great many “pasters” and perforated tickets belo Uibuted, thus furnishing the utmost facility for “cutting” and “scratching.” HOW WILL NEW YORK YorR? ‘The fact that the electoral vote of New York ismore essential to the election of Gov. Cleveland than to ‘Mr. Blaine, and that the democratic majority must be secured on this side of the Harlem river, 18 80 well Known that the intensified interest of the whole country iscentered right here, ana enters into every conceivable channel of information and influence. The question is asked every minute, but 4t 1s not answered quite so often. ‘The confidence frapted TueSramon Saturday, The only infos: ‘He STAR OD . ‘The only intorma- flow co be added at this writing from those sources ig the remark ot one of the most prominent mem- bers of the democratic national committee made last evening to your correspondent: “I believe,” said he, “that 1t13 going to be a great tidal wave, that Cleveland will carry every doubtful state.” Another democrat not quite so high in national councils answered: “To me it 1s all confusion.” John Kelley said: | “I really belteve Cleveland will de elected. He will certainty carry this state. He will have 50,000 majority in this city.” ‘There Is no doubt that Mr. Kelley 1s doing all he can to elect Cleveland, and the republicans will be mistaken on any calculation that he 1s not persoually sincere in hissupport. Just how far he can control the ‘tam- Many Voters to-morrow’s result will show. He does not anticipate, however, any defection that ‘will aunount to much, ‘THE THREE ELEMENTS IN TO-MORROW'S VOTE. It must be admitted that there are at least three elements that will enter into the vote of New York ‘nd Kings counties, two of which (possibly all), will decide the fate of the state. The first is the labor vote. If this is leaving Butler and coming over to Blaine tn such numbers as the republicans claim, then Mr. Cleveland will not be able to meet ‘the majority tn the state at the Harlem river. ‘The next is the Teported trade on the municipal ticket by the county democracy on one hand and Tam- many Hall On the other. ‘That this 1s going on already to some extent is very plain, even to out- siders. ‘The third 1 the independent republican yote. The republicans out of town affect to “pooh. h” this vote and to declare that it is growing less every day. Emory Storrs, at the repubilcan headquarters yesterday, sald that “every Indepen- dent republican got abugle, a brass band and a drum corps and then imagined that he was equal fos thousand votes Inquiry in Brookiva, (Kings Co.), however, shows that thé independent’ re ean vote there is very formidable. Albert Dag— r of the straight out republican gett, the man: ‘canvass, said this morning in private conversation, not td ve printed, that he feared Kings county ‘would give a democratic majority of 20,000. This added to Mr. Kelly’s estimate in New York city ‘would give Cleveland a majority of 70,000 in round figures at the Harlem bridge. Gen. ‘Garfeld mec Gen. Hancock at the bridge with 80,000. Will Mr. Biaine do as well? CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. I find among the independent republicans in Brooklyn a great admiration for Gov. Cleveland’s views on civil service reform. ‘They say that if elected he will rigidly enforce the existing law and apply its rules where the law does not even reach. ‘The independent republicans claim that their vote ‘will elect him, and that he 1s pledged to the ‘earn- et support of the law. Geo. Wm, Curtis takes this view. ‘The opinion was expressed that if this was tre, and Cleveland should be elected, there would Washington inthe early spring. ‘Therapie was vs early spring. ‘The re} rowpt: “If elgoted Mr. Blaine will tore re- movals in Washington than Mr. Cleveiand will.” MR. BLAINE IN GOOD BKALTH AND CONFIDENT, ‘Mr, Blaine left for New England at nine o'clock this morning. He said that he felt much tmproved by the rest over Sunday and the clear, bracing November weather. He appears to be in excellent health. Senator Hale says that Biaine’s physical condition, after what he had gone through, was a marvel to him. “He started on the trip,” said Mr. Hale, “quite unwell, but the life in the open alr and the exercise have completely restored his health; indeed, he 1s so strong that in one day in Michigan he made twenty-tnree speeches.” Mr. Blaine lest night, and again this morning, ex- pressed his entire ‘confidence in his election: He Said that possibly there was one element of doubt init, and that was the effect that the recent clos- ‘of mills and factories might have upon the labor vote. If this vove was simply based on bard mes tt would naturally go to the democratic Party; but if laboring men Lelleved that tin! ‘with the tariff by Congress had contributed tothe existing , then most of that vote would be found with the republicans.
