M REPUBLICANS MORE CONFIDENT. Their Figures as to the Piurality Below Harlem. Special dispatch to The Fveniue Star. New Yorx, Nov. 8.—Republicans are more confident today than any time the past week. Reports show good weather all over the state and over doubtful states, and dis- patches from the interior of New York show that a very full vote is being olled. The republicsn state committee sa ts advices lead tothe conelusion that New Yor above Harlem will give a larger plurality than | four years ago, and the most careful figures | ead them to believe that the democratic plu- | rality below Harlem will not be muc! reased. Tn addition to the fact that republicans found they were tting out a very full vote throughout the state their figures on New York lend them to believe that the democratic plu- rahty below Harlem will not be over 72,000. ‘The registration in New York was 309,830, of which about 94 per cent will vote, s0 the total vote will be about 291,000. The democrats usually get 59 per cent and the republicans 40 of the vote in New York. On this basis the democrats would get about 171,000 and the republicans 115,000, with a democratic jurality of 55,000. In Kings county, owing gains tho republicans are making from year to yesr, the republicans usually poll 44 per cont of the rote. This would give 80,000 votes and democrats 92,000, or plurality, 12,000. Putting the demo- eratic plurality in’ Queens, Suffolk and Rich- mond counties at the high figures of 5,000. This only makes the democratic plurality below Harlem 72,000. ae ass THE OUTLOOK FROM ALBANY. Bat Few Stay-at-Homes Expected—Abund- ance of Money on Both Sides. Azpany, N. ¥., Nov. &§—There is « hindrance to republican voters,as it is popularly believed that the farmers are averse to going five or six miles to exercise the right of suffrage over roads made dangerous by excessive rains But it is safe to say that there will be few stay-at- home voters in New York this year. EFFORTS TO GET OUT THE VOTE. The campaign committees of both parties have made extraordinary efforts to get out every voter. Funds have been forwarded by both ies into one of the 5,111 dis tricta of the state, with explicit directions. that to bri out the |. infirm, Jame, | the it and the blind; in fact, every one having the t to vote and the physical ability to exercise it. Neither party can be e with laches in this campaign and noth- ing short of a cloudburst or a snow storm will prevent s full vote. DIFFICULTY IN GETTING EARLY RETURNS. One difficulty in getting early returns from this state this year arises because of the votes on the three constitutional smeadments. Every voter is given not less than eleven ballots inthis state today. In districts where independent nomi- nations for ‘the assembly are e, additional ballots are iven. A major- of the voters will upon the con- tional amendments, so that more than the | usual time will be consumed in the making’ out | the returns. Another element of delay will be the large number of ocratic voters who will scratch the name of republican-demo- cratic nominee for chief judge of the court of eppeals, MR. BELDEX SAID TO BE TRADIXG. From every county this morning comes the intelligence thst perfect harmoay and accord | exist in all factions of both parties except Onondaga. In this county the issue between the contending forces hgs been direct and bitter. Belden has been op] since the day of his nomination by administration forces ! under the lead of Hiscock, Collector Hendricks and Postmaster Smith of Syracuse. They have opposed his nominees throughout. | Con- sequently Belden has no great desire for the success of the republican electoral ticket and | is trading and using al) his means for his own success and the success of his can- didates. His cutting on the electoral ticket will cause a falling off of the normal republican vote for Harrison in Onondaga county. ABUNDANCE OF MONEY ON NOTH SIDES. ‘There is an abundance of money on both sides. The republicans are using it liberally. | In this city the republicans are using it liber- | ally to influence the Hill democrats to cut the democratic assembly norainees and split. This is an effort to save the ussembly for the republicans in order to elect a republican | to the United States Senate. At present it is im} to ascertain whether or not this weltine & cetenpted Gorebace. Is would not work successfully in county but Albany, because the organization and the nom- inees here are Cleveland men, while a num- ber of democratic voters are so-called Hill men. There fe no danger, however. of Hill demo- crate cutting the democratic electoral ticket. The war of words between Lieut. Gov. Sheeban and the federal authorities bas done « world of good to the democratic party. poco mis VOTE IN NEW YORK CITY. HEAVY By 9 O'Clock Half of It Had Been Polled in Some Districts. New Youn, Nov. 8—Election day dawned cloudy, and the prophecy of the weather bureau that there would be rain seemed assured. Dur- ing the night it hed rained hard at intervals bat at 6 o'clock, when the polis were opened, the rain had temporarily, at all events, ceasad. clouds bung over the city, but every now Bed then, the suslight would burst through them. About 7 o'clock patches of clear, blue sky appeared overhead, and an hour later the sun was shining brightly and the air was mild ‘and balmy. A soft wind blew from the soutb- west oud seemed to carry the clouds away with it. It was evident that abig vote would be polled. | At 10 o'clock the Prophet Dunn evidently re- | pented of bis pessimistic views of yesterday {and sent outan amended report to the effect that the weather would be clear all day in this { section and that the rain storm would not pan joutas advertised. Thie was red to be republicans. ; early hours x, the morning the residential streets presented an appearance of hfe. The ane getting cut tht and early.

During tho early hours all indications pointed tos quiet election. In the polling places there wes an unusual scene of activity. In the frst place the new ballot law is not yet clear to all Citizens, and time and time again the clerks bad to instract votera. The most frequent mixtake was made in folding the ballots lengthwise first. stes | wil like the | —— ballots many did not vote them at 4 BIG vorE. ‘There was no doubt by 11 o'clock that a big vote was being polled, far beyond the expecta- tions of many of the leaders. In some of the places, icularly in the tenement Bouitis "more'than half of the total voto bad been polled’by 9 o'clock and lines of men ex- tended out into the street waiting their turn to deporit their ballots. two locat candidates for mayor—Gilroy and Einstein—wore up bright and early, and started out to vote and make the roundsof the lling places. Mr. Gilroy devoted his atten- | tion to the Harlem districts. He will spend the j afternoon and evening at Tammany Hall. Mr. | Einstein drove about the up town brown stone | districts, and seemedwatisfied that his party vote was being polled rapidiy. He will spend the afternoon at his headquarters. ARRESTS FOR ILLEGAL REGISTRATION. Arrests for illegal registration were not so numerous in the early morning hours ss had been expected. To dispose of such cases three United States commissioners were in con- tinuous session from 9 o’clock—Mesers. Shields and Deuel in the federal build- ing and Spooner at 155 west 125th street, Harlem. Arrangements had been made by Tammany Hall for the release on bail of any of their voters who might fallinto the official clutches of a deputy United States marshal, and the organization had several lawyers before each commissioner to see that the prisoners were properly treated. Bail to the amount of nearly $3,000,000 was arranged for yesterday, sureties having qualified betore the United States commissioners in that sum. ‘There was no attempt to have a formal ex- amination in any case. The prisoners made tement and were then subjected to a qui tioning by an assistant district attorney and a | Tammany lawyer and upon the facts as they were disclosed the court acted. A namber of misun- arrests were based upon evident deretandings and at once discharged. cases they were held for future examination under bail of $1,000 or $1,500, Most of the moraing arresta by warrants previously ireued, mainly upon Chief Inspector Daven- port's affidavit. In a number of instances the attorneys for the prisoners, after the latter had been released on bail, would ask the com- missioner ‘Can this man’ vote?” to which the invariable response was, “That is a question for the inepectors to decide."s ‘The ences of the city hospital attaches, who work for board and lodging and wero recently placed on the pay roll, were set for bearing at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning before Com- missioner Shields. One arrest thet created some amusement and not a little amazement occurred in the twenty- fourth precinct. A deputy marshal brought in a blind Pole whom he had arrested becanve he could not see the ballot offered him. The commissioner at once ordered the dis- charge of the prisoner. Fifty of the 300 warrants ismed yesterday were executed at the polls before 9 o'clock this morning. Several were held for trini and the others were discharged. Up to 10 o'clock twenty-five arrests were re- ported at the federal building. At Tammany Hall the cians began to gather before the sun's rays had struck the famous building. IN DOWN TOWN DISTRICTS, In the down town districts it was as quict as ona Sunday. The exchanges and banks were all closed; the custom house was open for a short time for the entry and clearance of ves- sels. The city and county courts were closed ‘but the supreme court was open to dispose of any election case that might come up. The post office was open for two hours. POLICE ON DUTY. Police headquarters was a scene of activity this morning. Superintendent Byrnes was at his desk at 6 o'clock. At 6:90 Inspectors Mc- Avoy, Conlin and Williams arrived. Three carriages were kept in front of headquarters for the use of inspectors. At 8 o'clock 180 reserves were on duty and in readiness in case of trouble. The patrol wagons were standing in Mulberry street in case they were needed. President Martin reached his office at 7:30 o'clock and was soon after joined by Com- missioners Sheehon and McClave. General quict throughout the city was reported. Re- serves are also on duty in the station honses. Rumors of arrests were frequent during t | morning. In front of the polling place at No. 66 Madison street there was a free fight at an early hour, but no serious damage was done and there were no arrests mado. In several election districts of the second as- sembly district one or more voters were arrested by the deputy marshals. In district 87 the marshals allowed a man to vote for whom they had a warrant and then arrested him. He was taken from the marshal as they neared the cor- ner of Mott street and the Bowery. Gov. FLOWER VOTES. Gov. Flower was the first of the distinguished men to cast bis vote. It was not generally known that he claimed a residence in New York city. But he had registered in 50th street Madison avenue. Shortly after 7 o'clock the governor walked into the polling place, and, with a pleasant smile for the inspectors, said: “Good morning, gentlemen; it's a beautiful morning, isn't it?” “Delightful,” answered a policeman, who stood near by. ‘The janitor of a Sth avenue fiat was just ahead of the governor and attempted to step back, but the governor objected, exclaiming: “No, now keep your place, Pl vote in the regular order.” ‘When all the line bad been furnished tickets up to Gov. Flower the baliot clerk #aid, as he handed over set No. 21: “Roswell P. Flower, 597 5th avenue. It was just 7:15 o'clock when the governor entered the little booth to select and fold his tickets. ‘Ten minutes later he came out and | handing the tickets he wished to vote over to the inspector, stepped back and started to move out, He was interrupted by an exclamation from the inspector. however, and returned. “You will have to go back, governor; your tickets are vot folded right,” the inspector ‘said. ‘The governor's face was instantly suffused witb blushes and his efforts to conceal embar- rassment only added to his evident discom- fiture. cs “Well, well, he exclaimed,” that’s fanny,” and taking ‘his ticket he again entered the 01 dooth. ‘The janitor had voted without difficulty and seemed to feel proud of his superior knowledge of bow to exercise his franchise. “The big men don’t know everything as inuch ‘as some poor folks about some things,” said the janitor, and the remark provoked stuiles, The governor took eight minutes for his sec- ond attempt, and with a eatisfied, determined Igok he faced the inspectors again. “{ guess it’s ell right now,” he waited for a reply. hhat'll do,” said the inepector, with abroad | grin, and he deposited the full set in their re- spective boxes as the governor hastened away. and Whitelaw Reid, the republican vice presiden- | | tial candidate,’ arose early and made |his appearance on the street _be- fore 7 o'clock. The election booth where | Gov. Flower voted is opposite Mr. Reid’s resi- | dence. He cast a hasty glance at the place and then hastened through B0th street toward 3d aveaue, where he took a train. WHITELAW REID VOTES. Whitelaw Reid arrived at White Plains from New York on 11 o'clock train and at once pro- | ceeded to the polls in the first district of Harri- | where be voted. He then drove| his home at Ophir Farm. He said | to remain home during the | family and this evening | son, to will receive the returns over the telephone in a his library. He does not expect to hav visitors. “Mr. Reid expressed himself as very | hopeful that the republican electoral ticket | would be elected. MR. CLEVELAND TIMIDLY CHALLENGED. Ex-President Cleveland left his bouse, 12 West 5ist street, at 10:25a.m. and walked to the polling place, accompanied by his butler, Wm. | P. Sinclair. and Geo. F. Parker. It was If | when they reached the polling place, 876 6th | avenue. There were twenty-five men in line ahead of the ex-President. They recognized him. and, ra ising their bats, bowed. When Mr. Cleveland stepped up to the poll clegk and gave his name a republican heeler at- | tenipted to challenge his vote, but he was wuicklv, hustled out of the way. Mr. leveland received # bunch of bal- lots marked No. 186 and went into the fifth booth to select his tickets. It took him just six minutes to prepare his tickets. They were in proper order, and 23 soon as they were eposited in their respective boxes the ex- President went home. THE SPECIALS. United States Marshal Jacobus’ office in the Federal building is lively today. By 8 o'clock the special deputies began to arrive, each man having in bastody suns eitinen who wee charged atten) to illegally. large nent a corridor trom, Mr. Jacobus’ ‘The provers were taken in tara down stairs ’ before United States Commissioners Shields and Denel. Lawyers by the score, who had volunteered their services, were promptly on hand to look after the interests of the demo- sioner Denel had decided to hold any of the ar- rested men for examination at a future time bail was promptly furnished and the accused men and permitted to return, home, Ins few caste, wi the alleged illegal voter had no one to vouch for him, bail was not furnished and the accused had ‘to go to Ludlow street jail. By 10 o'clock fully fifty men had been brought under arrest to the Federal building. + ‘The liveliest proceedings took before joner |, where were brought twenty voters from ‘the city institutions on Blackwell's Island who had voted or attempted to vote at the polling place for the twenty- ninth election district of the sixteenth assem- bly district, where many of the would-be voters from charity hospitals and other institutions bad registered. A feature of the arrests made was those of men employed on steamboats or sailing vessels, who claimed a residence in lodging houses down town. cs REPUBLICANS REASSURED. Chairman Carter of the republican national committee and Joseph H. Manly of Maine eat together in Mr. Manly’s office this morning reading the dispatches that were forwarded to them from all pares of the country. The {ologranse trom Sergt. Dunn, the weather clerk in the Equitable building, were read with especial interest. The first one said: “Fair, cool weather in Indiana, Wis- consin and Illinois; fair, stationary temperature for New York, light rain in Maine, heavy rain in Alabama and snow in the northern part of ge . “a ever party wins,” said Mr. Manly, “must acknowledge that in the matter of weather Providence has been kind to it. “You,” said Mr. Carter, ‘but this is certainly Harrison weather,” and’ the chairman of the republican national committee rubbed his palms together pleasant] A telegram to Carter from Herkimer county, Warner Miller's home, said that Herki- mer would give a republican majority of 3.000, which would be 300 ove =the estimate. Mr. Manly sent the following dispatch to Senator Eugene Hele: “Advices re- ceived from West Virginia and Idaho say that doth states are going republican.” ‘This was received from Lincoln, Neb.: “Neb- raska full vote and republican auccess, (Signed) Taos.

XEGROES VOTING THR DEMOCRATIC TICKET. In Petersburg a heavy vote is being polled and many of the negroes are voting the demo- cratic ticket. At the precinct in the fifth ward more =n are voting the demo- cratic ticket than for the republican nominees, and many of the} republicans, while voting } for Harrison and Reid, are scratching Goode, | the third party candidate for Congress from the fourth district, whose name appears at the tail end of the regular republican ticket. Among those who refused to vote for Goode | and seratched him was Col. James D. Brady, UnitedStates internal revenue collector for ‘i | district. Brady had previous to the election de- clared that he would not vote for Goode. While Goode is not being voted for by Brady and many of his followers, he is supported by | Mahone and his party. ‘Some few of the ne- groes here in this city and also in the district are scratching Goode and voting for Epes, but majority of them are believed to be cast- ing ballots for the third party candidate.
