ITS BRARING ON THR PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST—MEAS- URING THE STRENGTH OF PARTIES—WHAT EX-REP- RESENTATIVE STEVENS SAYS. The approaching election in New York is excit- ing adeep interest here. The bearing the result may have on the Presidential contest next year Jends to it an importance it otherwise would not have. This contest 1s generally looked upon as a measure of the strength of the various discordant. elements, and there is altogether a great deal of doubt as to what that measurement will show. ‘The labor vote is, of course, the thing that excites: ‘the anxiety of the democrats, If that should turn out to be half as large as the labor leaders claim for it it would bea serious thing forthe democrats, unless offset by the prohibition vote and internal aifferences on the other side. The fact that the President has endorsed Mr. Fellows, and that the democrats have so generally conceded that the national issue Is at stake, renders it all-tmportant for the republicans to siicceed it they can, and they are doing their best. The demo. crats_ claim ~ that they will win. ‘arly all the New Yorkers in the Government ser- Vice at Washington have gone home to vote, and considerable money bas been collected in Wash- ington for the campaign, _Ex-Representauve Svevens, of New York, expressed the opinion to a Stak reporter to-day'th..t the democrats would certainly be successful, “1 was in New York Sat- urda¥,” he said, “and have talked with the folks {here I would’ not be surprised if Fellows got 20,000 majority. A great many republicans Will vote for Fellows, There 1s a general revolt against “the Pulitzer deal.’ Both democrats and Tepubii- cans are opposed to perinitting Pulitzer to oss che Secretary Fatrchtld did not go home to vote, as he is busy with his report, and it would take up too much of his time to go to Casanovia, As- tant Secretary Maynard, Soulcitor MeCue, Chiet Clerk Youmans, Mr, Grahum, Mr. Fairchild’s pri- vate secretary, will be at une polis, and all thes Fest of the New York democrats in ‘the Treasury have gone, or will goon to-night, to vote ab L- ‘morrow’s election, A FIRE ON SEVENTH STREET.
