Bostox, Mass., Nov. 8—Prophesies that Russell will run abend of his ticket and carry the state are nnmerons today, but it seems doubtful if they are fulfilled. The polls closed here at 4:30 and the returns from the precincts are just coming in, They show surprisingly little cutting so far, Haile’s vote being sub- stantially the same as Harrison's, and Clev land and Russell standing side by side. For example, precinct 3, ward 6, gave Cleveland 245, Russell 244, Haile 111, Harrison 110. Ward 16, precinct 2, gave Cleveland 155, Harrison 278, Russell 172, Haile 256.

For the first time the negro vote ix divided, and in some sections large numbers will vote the dem- ecratic ticket. Many of them hate the people's party and resent the effort ot republican lead- ers to carry them into that party for local of- ficers. The republicans gave such long en- couragement to the people's party that they are poorly organized as a whole, though well or- nized in the fifth, eighth and ninth istricts. They will lose as mvch by coqnetting with the people's party as the dem- oerats will by defection to that party. democrats will, for the firet time, send « solid delegation to Congress. The eighth is the most doubtful district. The legislature will have large democratic majorities in both branches | Cleveland's majority will be 13,000 to 15,000.

He renewed the | statement that the legislature would be anti- democratic, and saidagain he had not heard | that Clarke, republican, had withdrawn im the | third district from the congressional race. At | | democratic headquarters it was also enid that | no news of Clarke's withdrawal had been re-| | ceived. Editor Parnell anid be, too, thought Clarke was still in the race, It is claimed by some democrats that the negro vote in this election really amounts to very little. The republicans in some cases have distrusted the black voters, and number will vote for the third’ party state ticket. They will not admit that over 5 per cent of them will fail to vote for Harrison. - HAN EXPECTED. | LARGER Ti Cleveland's Majority in North Carolina Greater Than Estimated. j ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

The vote of the third party and of the repub- | licans will be rather light.

There can beno mistaking the fact that the preponderance of feeling bere és that Cleveland will carry New York—that is ae far as any definite opinion is formed ove way or the other. MOST PROPLE GREATLY IX DOURT, A good sized plurality of those who are not thoughtless enthusiasts or profersional claimers are greatly in doubt. The managers of both parties keep up the appearance of confidence with a very good grace, and for the most part their expressions represent their feelings. It is evident that, as Tom Reed would put it, the democratic confidence “is mow intense.” The democratic managers seem to feel cock ure of New York. The republicans re- gard the state as doubtful, but they have strong hopes. That undefinable something, the “feel- ing in the air,” is favorable, If the republi- cans believed that everything depended on New York state, beyond peradventure, they would be less hopeful. As to the doubtful «tates elsewhere opinions are beard on about the same reports that are common property. At both headquarters favorable reports are received from the centers of interest, and the wish is usually the father to the conclusion. The prevailing opinions ppear tobe thatafter allthe fight is im Im diana, Connecticut and West Virginia, such weather as this day has opened, the vote throughout this state should be large, and the republicans count that as encouraging to them. The great anxiety of the leaders ie to know where the heavy voting is being done. CMAIRMAN CARTER'S LATE. Chairman Carter claims to have the most Positive assurances of heavy republican vote in the state and says that the system is per- fect for getting all the republican voters to the polls, He claims a beavy enough vote to over- come any majority the democrats can get south of the Harlem bridge. At the same time it is evident that a great part of the republican’s calculation is based on the belief in Tammany treachery and the refusal of many old line dem- ocrate in many of the democratic thresholds to vote for Cleveland. RUMORS OF TAMMANY TREACHERY DISCREDITED. After midnight last night there were rumors of a serious Tammany disaffection and on ac- count of it the betting tendency shafted to be more favorable to the republicans. This did not hold, however. It is so generally believed that the reputation of Tammany for honest democracy is at stake in the issue today thet talk of treachery on their part is discredited. Rebance on treachery in the other party isa very flimsy and deceiving thing. As far as the re- publicans are counting on it they are apt to be disappointed. if i ie
