New Yorx, Nov. 8.—Republicans are more confident today than any time the past week. Reports show good westher all over the! state and over doubtful states, end dis patebes from the interior of New York show that a very full vote is being [wpe The iblican state committee say Its advices lead tothe conclusion that New York above Hsrlem will give a larger plurality than four years ago, and the most careful figures lead them to believe that the democratic plau- rahty below Harlem will not be much increased. In addition to the fact that republicans found | | i they were out a very fall vote throughout the state their fgares on New York lead to believe that the democratic pla- "| rality below Harlem will not be over 72.000. The registration in New York was 309,830, of which about 94 per cent will vote, #0 the total Fote wil be about 291,000. ‘The democrats usually get 59 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 | plsnality of 68,000. In _ Kings county, owing | gains the republicans are making from year Hiean: to year, the republicans usually poll 44 per cent of the rote. This would give 80,000 votes and democrats 92,000, or plurality, 12,000. Putting the demo- Leia 4 eae ‘Suffolk and Rich- mond counties at the high figures of 5,000. This only makes the democratic plurality below ‘Harlem 72,000. en THE OUTLOOK FKOM ALBANY. But Few Stay-at-Homes Expected—Abund- ance of Meney on Both Sides. Axnurr, N. ¥., Nov. 8. —There is a 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 eafe to say that there will be few stay-at- home voters in New York this year. | EYFORTS 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 parties into every one of the 5,111 dis- tricts of the state, with explicit directions that neither money nor pains to | bring out |. infirm, lame, the halt and the blind; in fact, every one having the right to vote and the physical ability to exercise it. Neither party can be charged with laches in this campaign and noth- ing short of a cloudburst or a snow storm will prevent a fall vote. DIFFICULTY IN GETTING EARLY RETURNS. One dificulty in getting early returns from this state this year arises because of the votes on the three constitutional amendments. Every voter is given not less than eleven ballots in this state today. In districts like the fourth Albany, where independent nomi- nstions for ‘the assembly sre made, | additional ballots are given. A major tits of the voters will vote upon the con- | stitational amendments, so that more than the usual time will be consumed in the out | the returns. Another element of delay the large number of democratic voters who will scratch the name of the republ o- cratic nominee for chief judge of the court of appeals. MR. BELDEN BAID TO BE TRADING. From every county this morning comes the intelligence that perfect harmony and accord exist in all factions of both parties except | Onondaga. In this county the issue between the contending forces has been direct and bitter. | Bolden hes been opposed 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 all his means for his own success and the success of his can- | didates. His cut on the electoral ticket will cause a falling off of the normal republican | | vote for Harrison in Onondaga county. ABUNDANCE OF MONEY ON BOTT 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 nominoes and split. This is an effort to save the sssembly for the republicans in order to elect a republican to the United States Senate. At present it is impossible to ascertain whether or not this same move is attempted elsewhere. It would not work 8 iy im any county but Albany, because the organization and the nom- imees “here are Cleveland men, while a num- ber of democratic voters are so-called Hill men. ‘There is no danger, however, of Hill demo- aa tie electoral ticket. and the federal authorities has done a world of good to the democratic party. PDN AO | MEAVY VOTE IN NEW YORK CITY. By 9 O'Clock Half of It Had Been Polled in Seme Districts. New Yoru, Nov. 8.—Election day dawned cloudy, and the prophecy of the weather bureau that there would be rain seemed assured.

Arrests for illegal registration were not so numerous in the early morning hours as had been expected. To dispose of such cases three United States commissioners were in con- tinuous session from 9 o'clock—Messrs. 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 marshsl, and the organization had several lawyers before each commissioner to see that the prisoners were y rented. | Bail to the amount of near! ,000 was arranged for iY, | eoeties wing qualified betore the United States commissioners in that eum. ‘There was no attempt to have a formal amination in any case. The prisoners made statement and were then subjected to a ques- tioning by an assistant district attorney and o Tammany lawyer and upon the facts as they were disclosed the court acted. A number of arrests were based upon evident misun- derstandings and the prisoners were at once disel In other cases they were held for future examination under bail of $1,000 or $1,500. Most of the morning arrests were by warrants previously femed, mainly ‘upon Chief Inspector Daven- port’s affidavit. In « number of instances the Sttorneys 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 inspectors to decide.” The cases of the city hospital attaches, who work for board and lodging and were recently placed on the pay roll, were set for hearing at 10 o'clock next lay morning before Com- missioner Shields. ‘One arrest that created somo amusement and not a little amazement occurred in the twenty- fourth precinct. A deputy marshal brought in & blind Pole whom he had arrested because he could not see the ballot offered him. commissioner at once ordered the dis- charge of the prisoner. Fifty of the 300 warrants issued yesterday were executed at the polls before 9 o'clock this morning. Several were held for trial and the others were discharged. Up to 10 o'clock twenty-five arrests were re~ ported at the federal building. At Tammany Hall the clans 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 quiet as onaSunday. 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 cl 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 scene of activity this morning. Superintendent Byrnes was at his desk at 6 o'clock. At 6:30 Inspectors Mc- Avoy, Conlin and Williams arrived. Three iges were kept in front of headquarters for the use of inspectors. At 8 o'clock 150 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 Sheehen and McClave. Gencral quiet thronghout the city was reported. Re-| of I: serves are also on duty in the station houses. Rumors of arrests were t during the morning. In front of the polling place at No. 66 Madison street there wasa free fight at an early hour; but no serious damage was done and there were no arrests made. In several election districts of the second as- sembly district one or more voters were arrested by the deputy marshals. In district 37 the marshals allowed a man to vote for whom they 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 his vote. It wns not generally known that he claimed a residence in New York city. But he bad registered in 50th streot and m 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; its a beatiful morning, isn't it?” “Delightful,” answered policeman, who stood near bs The janitor of a 5th avenue flat was jnst ahead of the governor and attempted to step Kk, but the governor objected, exclaiming: now keep your place, [ll vote in the regular order.” ; Vhen all the line had been furnished tickets up to Gov. Flower the ballot clerk sid. as be 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 ont 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 not folded right,”” the inspector said. ‘The governor's face was instantly suffused with blushes and his efforts to conceal embar- raasment only added to his evident discom- fiture. “Well, well, he exclaimed,” that's funny,” and taking his ticket he again entered the boot! The janitor had voted without difficulty and seemed to feel proud of his superior knowledge of how to exercise his franchise. “Thebig men don't knoweverything as much as some poor folks about some things," said the Janitor, and the remark provoked smiles. The governor took eight minutes for his sec- ond attempt, and with « satistied, determined look he faced the inspectors again. “L it's all right now,” he said, and waited for a reply. “That'll do," suid the inspector, with abroad grin, and he deposited the full set in their re- spective boxes as the governor hastened away. Whitelaw Roid, the republican vice presiden- tial candidate, arose early an made his appearance on the street be- fore o'clock. The election booth where Gov. Flower voted is ite Mr. Reid's resi- deuce. He cast a hasty glance at the place and then hastened through 50th street toward 3d avenue, where he took a train. WHITELAW REID VOTES. Whitelaw Retd 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- son, where he voted. He then drove to ‘his home at Ophir Farm. He said he intended to remain home during. the day with his family and this evening will receive the returns over the telephone in lus library. He does not expect to have any visitors. “Mr. Reid expresse@ himself as very hopeful that the republican electoral ticket would be clected” MR, CLEVELAND TIMIDLY CHALLENGED. Ex-President Cleveland Jeft his house, 12 West 51st street, at 10:25a.m. and walked to the polling place, accompanied by his butler, Wm. P. Sinclair. and Geo. F. Parker. It was 10:30 when they reached the polling place, 876 6th avenue. There were twenty-five men in line head of the ex-President. They recognized lim, and, ra ising their hats, bowed. When Mr. Cleveland stepped up to the poll clerk and gave his name » republigan heeler at- tempted to challenge bis vote, but he was ickly hustled of the’ way. Mr. leveland received of 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 as soon as they were deposited in their respective boxes the ex- President went home. ‘TRE SPECIALS.

RELEASED ON BAIL. As soon as Commissioner Shields or Commis- stoner Denel had decided to hold any of the ar- Tested men for examination at a future time bail was promptly furnished and the accused men released and permitted to return home. In a few cases, where the illegal voter had no one to vouch for alleged the | him, bail was not furnished and the accused had ‘to go to Ludlow street jail. 10 o’elock fully fifty men had been brought under arrest to the Federal building.

REPUBLICANS REASSURED. Chairman Carter of the republican national committee and Joseph H. Manly of - Maine sat together in Mr. Manly’s — this mo reading the dispatches were forwarded to them from all pares of the country. The sna from Sergt. Dann, the weather clerk in Equitable building, were read with interest.

United States supervisors of election are at all the precincts, but thero bas been no conflict of authority between these officials and the regular election officers. NEGROES VOTING THE 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 ni are voting the demo- etntic ticker than for the republican and many of thefrepul voting for Harrison and Heid, are scratching Goode, the third party candidate for Congress from the fourth district, whose name at the tail end of the regular republican tieket. Among those who refused to vote for Goode district. Brady had previ clared that he would not vote for Goode. Goode is not being voted for by Brady and many of his followers, he is by Mahone and his party. ‘Some few of the ne- groes here in this city and also in the district sro soratching Goode and voting for Epes, but believed to be cast ing their ballots for the third party candidate. It is difficult to conjecture with any degree of certainty as to how the fourth district will go, but republicans and democrats both | say the -voted between Epes and Goode will be very close. mocrate are of the opinion that the chances are in favor of Epes, but will place no estimate as to what bis majority willbe. They do say, however, that Petersburg will probably give Epes a majority of 900 an Cleveland trom’ 300 to . SOME DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS. ‘Tue Stan's correspondent has just interviews ex-Congreseman Edward C. Venable, who is one of the best informed democrats in the state, and he says he thinks that Virginia will give Cleveland a majority of from 10,000 to 15,000. When asked as to the result in the fourth disfrict he said that he thought that Epes would certainly be elected, but by how much majority he could not say. In his opinion he did not think that many of the negroes would vote for Goode. Maj. Francis R. Lassiter of Petersburg, democratic elector for the fourth district, was also interviewed by Tuz Star representative as to the probable result of election in the state and district.
