BY TAMMANY'S SELFISHNESS Fifteen Thonsand Indepeadent New York Democrats Will Vote for Harrison. COUNTY LEADERS KNIFING CLEVELAND Result of the Tiger' Appn Grasping for Power nt Alrendy In the City—Harri- « Growing Much Drighter in New York. NEw Yonk, Oct 20, —[Special Telegram to Tne Brr |-Conservative politicians estl mate that the withdrawal of the county democrats from the campaign will cost Cleve- 1ana at least 15,000 votes in this city. There are many democrats in New York who will not voto for Tammany under any circam- stances, and so disgusted are they at the way they have been treated by the managers of the national committee that they will vote the straight-out republican ticket. Lawyer George Lavgbein, who has worked s0 faithfully for the success of the county democracy ticket, said that he had no dount but that 15,000 county democrats would cast their votes for Harrison and Reid. “In the Twenty-socond assemoly distriet,” hesaid, "l am jnformed oun good authority that 15,000 aemocratic voters will vota the republican ticket straight. They will not have Tammany candidates thrust down thelr throats, and insiead of using the posters they will not bother, but will band in the straight-out republican ticket.” Others Equally Sore. In the Fourth assembly distriot Dan Dowling, the county democracy candidate for the assembly, is said to be furious over the withdrawal of the ticket and is out with a sharp knife for the whole democratic ticket. He bad, it s suid, a fair chance of being elected and this throw down is more than be and his followers can put up with, They romise to make the whole democratic ticket ook sick November 8, and if thev keep their word the district will go for Harrison and Rela. The same can be said of Mulligan in the Thirteenth, His chances were considered first-rate, and be will not forget Tammauy’s work on elaction day. All over the city, in fact, the same story 1s heard -that the only way to make 'ammany Hall suffer is to vote the republican ticket. The seltistness of Tamms. ay the coun dewmocrats, will cause their aefeat. 1t is iu possible to get many independent democrats 10 vote for o Tammany candidate, and the first object of the county in pu'tini an anti- Tammany ticket in the field was to brice to the polls this big independent vote. lu this way they hoped to wet out the full strength of the démocrats in this city, but Tammany 1s for itself first. Why Tammany Was Afraid. The excelient republican local ticket and tho large vote that the countys would poll made them uneasy and they forthwith put the scrows on the democratic com- mittes and forced 1t to dery the sinews of war, which were necessary for the countys to mako their fight. Then the Tammany leaders went to work and suc- ceeded ir preventing the counties from hay fng their ticket printed on tho Cleyelana electoral baliot. They knew full well that if such @& chance were given the independent democrats they ‘would go to the front and make a fight and ud an excellent show. If they had haa Cleveland oo their ticket they might have ‘wrested the local offices from the tiger and ‘with characteristic audacity the ieaders of Tammany Hell checked the move. POINTS ON THE BATT! E. Current Notes of the Ca from the Local Press. Governor I'lower recently asserted that the democrats would carry New York by 50,000 majority. Within vhree days Chair- man Harrity of the democratic national com- mittee, after wrestling with the registration statistics, managed to- figure out a majority ©f 15,000. The discrepancy between the two claims serves toshow how rapidiy democraiic wretenses are dwindling in the Empire state. Republican munagers present no flgures but insist that the electoral vote of the state will e cast for Harnson lsd Reid. algn Clipped " Democratic authority is not wanting to show tbat Ncw York is far from being safe for the denjocracy, nor can repudlican claims be substantiated. In its news coluwns last Monday tne Sun declared the state was no mau's, and such was the opinion of experi- enced’ campaigners. “New York,” says the Philadeiphia Ledger, “if nov absolutely the closest, is the most doubtful state of all. In 1854 there was a difference of only niue one- huudredths of 1 per ceat between the party votes. ‘The small change required was effected in 1885, when the state was turned to Harrison, the republicans getting 49,10 per cent of the vote and the democrats 45,01, a difference of httle more than 1 por cent. Iv is worth noung 1n this coansection that the democratic vo'e fell off very littie, though the republicans gained 1 per cent, the main loss per cent failing on the third par- ties. In a state polling a million aud haif of votos, with great centres of population like New York and Brooklyn, it is manifest that purely local causes might be suficient to turn over enough votes 1o chauge the resuit one vay or tho other, though the remainder of the stato should stand steadlastin party ranks, It is impossible to canvass such a big state ciosely enough to determine its probable vote where the wmargin is so small. A child can guess quite as weil as Chairman Carter or Chairmau Harrity what the result will be, unless there should be signsof & political revolytion.” The remarkablo Increase in registration in the country districts, the arrest of demo- eratic repeaters and the arrival of Matt Quay to take s hand in the campaign bave given republican manacers a coutidence not eretofore snown. Speakine on this point the Sun say: “I'he democrats at Mr. Sheehan’s bureau, some of them the most ractical men in the party, could not for the life of them understand the causa of the con- fidenco of the republicans who gathered at the Fifth Avenue hotel. These dewocrats aowmitted frankly that the republicans were confiaent not outy of carrying New York state, but of elecling Harrison. This cohanged feeling on the part of the republi- cans has been particulary noticeable since Friday night and the democrats at Mr, Sheeban’s oureau have observed that the feeling is growing. Mr. Sheehan and bis friends are 50 cortain of carrying Now York stato that they. canuot understand the solid chunks of confidence at the Fifth Avenue hotel.” There will be five sets of presidential elec- tors to be voted for 1n New York —repub lican, democratic, socialist labor, people's and prohivition partles, It is reported by the World “on gooa au- thority that at Delmoni o's Micbael F. Dwyer, the well known horseman, haa bet $10,000' to #,000 that Cleveland will be elected.” Much interest is manifested at both na- tional headquarters as to ihe effect of the secret bullol on Lhe purty vote, Various wmoditicaiions of the Austrulian ballot law Are Low in force in twenty-eigut states, and aw uearly ull of the mumber it bas been mdopted since 1538, This will be the first presidential yeur in which tne secret ballot will ve decisively tested. Fhe republicans wust cast theso new siyle ballots in fifieen states which have been more or less soldly in the repu! blican column for yea: besostates aro Californie, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Miunnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New m Obio, Oregon, Peunsylysuia, Rhode , Hiino's, Wiscrasin and Vermoot. The Sun opines that the result will deter- w- comparative intelligeoce of tha Lwo Senators Matt Quay ‘snd Arthur P. Gor- mau bavi nu':ll huvtdn 10 work @ re- apective oval headquarters. The pear- sace of these distinguished campalguers at the party Bbelms proves that a mighty strug- e g wade for New Yoik's thirts-six elgotoral votes. . “few wen osn lmagine,” says the Sum, “the Der of telegrams und lotters which u_ullu recaived at the two uational bead- quartors asking for information. the inquiries are not based aliogether on patriotic motives, Betting men want early tips.

CHICAGO'S BIG REGISTRY. a8 to the Effect of the Increase In Eiline The phenomenal increase 1n Chicagzn reg- stration astouishes politiciaus and upsets all prev The increase may be better understood from an examination of the figures and & comparison with the reg speealaty yus caleulations, isteation of previous years. Tho registra- tion was, in round numbers: 1888, 172,000; 1861, 207,000; 1802, 270,000, This shows an increase of 35,000 votes from 1858 t 1501, and of 6,000 votes in tho eighteon moaths from April, 1801, to Octover, 1302, How are these 100,000 new voters going to cast their ballots on November S, is the question which is puzzling politicians of both parties. As might be expected, both claim the advau- tage, * «"s The Chicago Tribune publishes the lists in detail by wards a.d claims that on the whole it is favorable to ths republicans. It will be noted at a glance,”" says the Tribune, “that the gains are propor:ionately larger in the republican wards, like the Third, Fourth, Tenth, Eleventn, Twelfth, ir. teenth, Fonrteenth and Twentieth wards of the old_city than in the democratio wards. l1a the Fifteenth ward, where the voteis protty ovenly divided, the gain is large. This gain is mostiy in the new precincts, which formerly belonged to the village of Jefferson, and which are republican. It is also noticeable that that the gains ave largest 1n tho precinets of the Sixteenth and Eigh- teenth wards, which give republican majori- ties, and in the eastern and pro-republican precinots of the Fifth ward also. Tho large tration in Cicero is also significantof iican streugth, 'he new wards, from the Twenty-fifth to the Thirty-fourth, both included, were not portions of the city in 1585, The vote for tne 1owns out of which they had been formed is Lako, 13,545; Hyde Park, ferson, 1,820. B compuring the registration of this year with therezistration of 1500 it will be noticed that tho gains are largest in tho new republican wards, the Tbirty-first, Thirty-second and Toirty-fourth. The Thirtieth ward is claimed be boih pacties. The registration is best in the southern republican precincts. “Thero are sote offsots Lo republican satis. faction erowing out of the registration. In s the Twenty-fourth ward the registrati heaviest iu the loaging nouse precinets isan unusually heavy lodging house re tion atso in the First and Eighteenth wards, Much of this rezistration is bogus and hun- dreds of names will be erased from the regis- try books in the First, Eighteenth and Tiventy-fourth wards if the clerks of elec- tion perform their duty as canvassers dili- gently and carefully.” The democrats view the increase through spectacles of a differout color. A corie- ondent of the St. Louis Republic presents mparative tizures and party deductions as tows: “In 1554 in Chicago Blaine received 09,000 and Cleveland 61,000° votes, a majority of ¥,000 for Blaine. In 1388 Harrison re- ceivea 85,000 votes and Cleveiand $4,200 votes, & mujority of about 800 for Harrison. Between these years the democratic in- creaso was 23,000, or 60 per cent. The re- publican lucrease was 16,000, or 40 per cent. ‘Assuming that this increase is maintained 1n the coming election the dsmocratic ticket will receive a majority of 15,000. Two years ago Wiison, the democratic candidate for state treasurer, defeated Amburg, a popular Chicago German, by over-7,000 majority in Cook county, while ‘Kaab, democrat. de- foated Edwards for sta%e superintendent of instruction by 18,000 majority. A close an- alysis of the situation warrants the pradic- tion that Chicugo Is democratic by 20,000 majority. In the struggle to secara advan- tages by naturalizing new voters the demo- crats have obtamed a decided advantaga, having turalized 14,000 against 4,000 for ans, 8 clear gan of 10,000 votes. ne the fact that Chicago holds the kev to the situation, both democrats und re- publicans will bend every effort to obtain a mujority in Cook county, and the next two waeks will witness a red-totstruggle for the mastery. Upoa Chicago's vote may depend the fate of the national ticket.” President Harrison's plurality in Iilinois 1 1880 was 22,195, IRVINE SAFE AT HOME. Banker Montgowmery His Many Old Friends.
