BV ASSOCIATED PRESS. Chicago, if ov. 7. The close of the cam paign finds both political parties confident in the Northwest The Democrats, for the most part, feci assured that they will elect their Governor in this State, and there are many who even cspect the electoral vote of Illinois to be cabt for Cleveland. The Re publicans laugh at these pretensions, and their State Committee appears to be quite as confident of Republican victory all along the line in Illinois. The Democratic National Campaign Com mittee, whose Western headquarters have been in charge of Congressman Ben T. Cable, of Illinois, to-day sent out telegrams to all local committees in the Northwest, assuring them that a careful poll leit no room for doubt of Cleveland's success in Illinois and Wisconsin, and all that re mained was to get out the lull Democratic vote to-morrow. This committee has prac tically managed the entire Democratic cam paign in the doubtlul States oi the North west, and if one or more of these States should go Democratic, it will be justly re garded as a great victory ior Chairman Cable and his colleagues, whb have waged a. contest without precedent in the West, and have made ihis fight without assistance from the National Committee. Chairman Cable's Confident Claims. To the Associated Press Chairman Cale, of the Western branch of theXational Catn- , paign Committee, this evening gave the . following statement of the committee's opinion of the situation in the Northwest and the part which the committee's work will have in the general result: Iu Illinois tlio Democratic organization was never in better condition. There have been tent liom these headquarters, in addi tion to more than 3,000,000 documents bear in;; on the questions at issue iu the cam paign, over iuu.uoj personal letters to indi vidual Democrats torouzhout the State. These have been sent to tlio?o engaged in the active work ot the campaign, and also to laiRO numbers ot business and profes sional men, tclicol teachers, and to those w ho have been known as ardent Uouiocruts, but past the time ol Hie uhen they can be expected to do the active work ot a cam paign. Hie responses have been more than encouraging. from all par'? of the State I liavo received letters sIioa mir tuat the Democrats ale en thused with the pi opects. Tlie polls sent to this olllce show evidences of having been pieiiarcd with more than ordinary care. The speech delivered by lion. Wayne Jlac Vcagh, last Saturday night, has been of vast service in blinking to our ticket the support of a laro clas of independent thinkeis, who have been ltopublicaus.but liavo agreed with the platform declaiation rather than with the party action in Cougiess. What the Itest of the West May Do. From a caielul examination of tho polls received from the State I bclievo the two parties will come to Cook county very nearly even, and that tho majoiity here will be over lO.lXX), and will give the State to Cleveland and Altgeld by a handsome plu rality I have just received a dispatch from Don. D. J. Cuiupuu, Chairman ot the Michl- f an State Couimittee,in which he says: "The lemocracy of Micnijran extends greetings. "We mil do our lull duty. Eight electors, a niajoiityof Congressmen and a Democratic Legi-lature will be our reward." Jlr. Cuinpau has been conservative in his state ments during the c.tmpiisn, and I believo Democrats throughout the country can lely upon his prodiciions. In South Dakota, tho.igh the Democratic electors remain on the ticket, the state Com mittee has urccd all Democrats to unite and support the Weaver electors, and this Iris been done in a large majority of ca'.es. A dispatch just received from tho Chairman of the Deinociatic State Committee gives me assurance that his State 13 all right, and that the Weaver electors will have a lair plurality. Even Wisconsin Is Claimed. Trom Wisconsin Mr. Wall. Chairman of the state Committee, telephones me this morning that he has no reason to change the estimate ho made public last Saturday, or 13.00J outside ot Milwaukee, no believes that his estimate has been most conserva titely made, and that the count will show even a laigcr gain than has been repotted. lie assures me that it is all over but the shoutin-r. In Iowa our friends have made a good fight and predict that the- will carry the State. I feel tli4t tho piesent Kepublienn admission that Iona is falily to be counted us a doubtlul stale is as much of a victory as 1 can claim lor the party in a St ite which has been so overwhelmingly liepuhlican. Theie is significance in the lact that the inot conservative Democrats I know in tho State have assured me poisonally within the past few days that they have looked over the giound and feel confident that the State will be Democratic by a larger majority than has ever been uiven tothepiescnc Governor. I have confidence in their Judg ment, but have hesitated to accept their estimates until, of late, tho returns from Illinois have shown such evidences of an avalanche of voters to the Democracy. Claims of the Republicans. To a representative of the Associated Press Hon. William J. Campbell, the Ill inois member of the National Itepublican Committee, said: I believe that Illinois will give a majqrity for the Harrison electors larger than four years ago, and that despite the bitter fight waged against him. Governor Filer will be triumphantly elucted. llegardlng Wiscon sin, my latest information is or so assuring a, character that I teel sanguine of a major ity tor Harrison, and the election or Spooner, as Governor, by a plurality ot several thou sand. I do not recaid low a as any more in doubt than Ohio or Pennsylvania. I have little inlotmatloii outside of newspaper re poits regniding other Western and .Vorth wrsiern States, hut know- that mcmbeis or the .National Uiuiisnittee leel the situation hassteadilvinipiovedfor a fortnight past, mid that Kepuhlicau leaders ale sanguine of success eveiywhrre except in Kevnda. The lo'ss ot a portion o: the electors or Minnesota Is vjosslbte. but by no means ptobable. My advices lead me to believe that in Indiana, while the vote nmy be close, the chances apo decidedly lavorable to the Republicans." rigurrson the Democratic Side. On the situation in Illinois the Demo cratic Central State Committee gave out the following statement: Eeports received at this oflico indicate a Democratic victory in Illinois, both State and national, wo nro confident we will bi-eak even at tho Cook county line that is, the two parties will come to Cook county about equal. Hie best-informed Repub licans anJ Democrats alike concede that Cook county is Democratic. No one places the Democratic majority at less than 5,000, wht! many -hrewd politicians tilace Cleve land's pluralitvut 10,000, and give Altgeld, lor Governor. 20,10. Returns from country distiicts indicate lare Democratic gains. Wo muy lose one member of Congress, but this will be offset by the gain of two mem bers at large. We hare nn organization ontside of Cook county that permeates every school district in the State, and is represented by 11,000 workers, while the Republican organization is leprescnted by only about 2,600 workers. Heretofore many Democrats in this State have stayed away from tho polls, thinking their vote would do no good If casn. This year our people are confident or victory, and a full Democratic vote can be depended on. The increased registration in Cook county would reasonably warrant the conclusion reached by those men who have cxntessed an opinion on tho majority for the Demo cratic ticket In Cook county. The efficient work of tho Western branch of the National Campaign Committee, under Chairman Cable, has been or inestimable advantage in this State, and tho party w as never befote in better shape. No Figures, but Confident Claims. The Itepublican State Central Committee gave out the following statement: It is tho opinion of tho Republican State Committee that Illinois wilt give an in creased itepublican majority; much, how ever, depending on the result of Cook county. There Is no question whatever that the Stato outside will give President Har rison a larger majority than lour years ago, and Governor Filer will be little tr anv be hind the President. The German detection, about which so much has been said, has been grossly exaggerated, and theio are large gains from conservative Democratic sources. Wo expect to elect 13 Congressmen beyond n uouht, and have great hopes of defeating Fitluan 111 the Sixteenth and Forman in the Eighteenth, in addition. In the Second. Fourth, Sixth, Twenty-fdurth.TIilrty-second and Forty-lourth Senatorial districts, which hive been claimed as doubtful by the Dem ocrats, there Is no question of tho election ot the Republican candidates, and we firmly believe that we will elect Mr. Basett in the Twenty-sixth, Mr. Fecko in the Forty-second, and Mr. Boston in the Forty-eighth. There is littlo doubt that we will have con trol of both branches or the Legislature. All Senators elected at this election will partici pate in the election of a United States Sen ator, two years hence. CONNECTICUT. Considerable of a Closeness In the Stato of Wooden Nutmegs. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 7 The Chairmen of both the Democratic and Ite publican State Central Committees vrere in terviewed by the Associated Press to-night as to the outcome of the election to-morrow. Herbert E. Benton, Chairman ot the Itepublican committee, said he expected his party would secure a safe plurality for both the electoral and State tickets. He looked for the election ot a Legislature which would be Itepublican in both branches. Three out of -fonr of the Itepublican candi dates for Congress would be elected, and he should not be at all surprised if his party made a clean sweep, insuring a lull Itepub lican representation in both houses of Con gress at Washington. Chairman Clinton B. Davis, of the Dem ocratic State Committee, said he was abso lutely certain the Democratic electoral ticket in this State would have a plurality ot not less than 2,000. Judge Jlor-iis, he said, would poll more votes for Governor than General Merwin, as he did two years ago, but not a sufficient number to insure an election by the people, and that the election of Governor would therclore be thrown into the Legislature. The Legisla ture, he said, was 111 doubt as to its politi cal complexion on a joint ballot, and no one could loretell the result. The State Senate he was certain would be Democratic bv a good working majority. The Demo crats were sure of three Congressmen out of four, viz.: Spery in the First district, Piggott iu the Second and DeForest in the FourtlL the Eepublicans will have a good working majority in both branches of the Legisla ture. At Democratic headquarters the State Is conceded to Harrison by a small plurality, and it is claimed that 'there will be no choice for Governor by the people; that the Democrats will elect both members of Con gress, nd that the Legislature will be very close. INDIANA. Both Parties SUU Claiming tho Hoosler State by 10,000. Indianapolis, Nov. 7. The statements of the Chairmen of the several State Com mittees, given out this morning, when taken collectively shed little light upon to-morrow's election. Chairman Taggart, of the Democratic State Committee, claims the State by a plurality which he says will cer tainly not fall below 10,000; both branches of the Legislature, and 11 out of 13 mem bers of Congress. "The only thing Ave have to fear," says Mr. Taggart, "is Itepublican frauds, and we have taken ample precau tions to guard against these at every point." Chairman Goudy, of the Republican State Committee, with a show of confidence fully equal to that of Taggart, says: "We will surely carry our electoral ticket and elect our candidates for State offices by plural ities of not less than 7,000, and most likely 10,000. We will certainly elect five mem bers of Congress, and probably seven, with a fighting chance for two more." The People's party Chairman this morn ing placed the Populist vote in the State at 49,500. It is claimed that the People's party vote has been accurately polled, and is pledged to stand by the party through all contingencies. The Populist Chairman claims 15 members of the Legislature, and that they will hold the balance of power in that body, and dictate the election of a suc cessor to Senator Turpie. The Prohibitionists claim a vote of 18,000 in the State, which is probably 8,000 in ex cess of what they will receive. The com parison ot the vote in receiving the returns will be based on the vote of 1890. when the Democratic State ticket was elected by 19,000 plurality. There are 2,909 precincts in the State, and to overcome the plurality of two years ago the Republicans will have campaign to-night with grand demonstra tions in which the State leaders of each party are represented. Leaders assert that there is no doubt of the election of the Weaver electoral ticket. The best informed Bepnblican leaders are alarmed over the situation. While they are satisfied that they will elect the Gov ernor, they fear that the eleotors and the most ot the six Congressmen will go to the Democrats and Independents. OREGON. Harrlty Orders Democrats of This State to Vote for Weaver. Poktiand,Ore.,Nov. 7. In accordance with the instructions from the Democratic National Committee the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee to-day issned the following circular: Democrats of Oregon Important orders have been received from Chairman Harrlty. The election of Cleveland depends on Ore gon going for Weaver. A Democratic vote lor Cleveland electors in this State is a vote for Ilariison. If yon are a Democrat and want Cleveland elected, vote for Weaver. Special trains were dispatched early this morning to distribute these circulars all over the State. Chairman Murphv, of the Democratic Committee, said this afternoon: Tho Democrats and People's party have a combined majority of 12,000 to 15,000 over the Republicans, and there la no possibility of ouo" losing enough votes to defeat the ticket. The Weaver maoaseri estimate the Ite publican vote in the State at 33,000, Demo cratic 27,000, People's party 25,000. They assert it tho Weaver electors receive 10,000 Democratic votes their election is assured. The Chairman of the Itepublican State Com mittee expresses confidence of Itepublican success in the State by 10,000 majority. NORTH DAKOTA. Republicans Still Claim This Now Stato by About 8,000. Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 7. Alter a care full canvass on the part of the Itepublican Committee Chairman Spalding is willing to go on record with the prediction of the to gain an average of nearly 7 votes to the election of the Itepublican electors by precinct. OHIO. The Democrats Concede Just Half What the Republicans Claim. Columbus, O., Nov. 7. Special The Chairmen ot the respective State committees have completed their work and left this evening for their home to vote and will re turn to-morrow afternoon. They are simply waiting for the result. Chairman Farley, of the Democratic committee, has made no estimate of the result in this State, lor the reason the Democratic committee had no poll, and he had nothing tangible upon which to do so. He ventured the qpinion, however, that the Republicans would be disappointed in their claims as to plurality. Mr. Farley thought the Repub licans would be very lucky if they had 15,000 plurality, and he believed it would fall below these figures. Chairman Dick had no reason to change the figures which he had already given out, and he thought the Itepublican plurality would be from 22,000 to 25,000. He had a very good poll ot the State on which to base his" estimates, though there were several counties which were estimated by the county committees and the results sent in by telegraph. He claims 15 of the 21 Con gressmen, and there is very little division of opinion as to these figures. The majorities in the districts are so pronounced that the Chairmen on either side cannot see how the results can be otherwise. The People's party and Prohibition vote was about 43,000 in the State last year, and Mr. Dick thinks there will be considerable falling off in both this year. As they were drawn pretty equally from each party, the theory is that they will seek their old affiliations and not materially affect the general result. WEST VIRGINIA. NEW YORK. Chairman Carter Calls It Republican, but Harrity Says He's Mistaken. New York, Nov. 7. The expectations at Democratic headquarters were to-night announced as follows: There has oeen an Increase or 50,000 In reg istration in New York, Queens, Kings and Richmond. We should get no less than 90, 000 majority out or them. The Republicans will not meet this with more than 00,000 tor their increased registration in rural dis tricts, and thorofoie wo expect S0.C00 plural ity lor Cleveland in the State or New York. Chairman Harrlty would give no figures on New York State. Of the general result he said: Mr. Cleveland will get at least 2H votel in ho electoral college. They are: Tho solid South, 159; New 1 ork. 36: Indiana, 15; New leiscy, 10; Connecticut, 6; Michigan, ti; Wis consin, 12. Total, 244. There is a lair prob ability, also, of Colorado, Illinois and Iowa. Chairman Carter said: "From the best information and belief I am satisfied that the popular verdict will re-elect President Harrison. New York State is safely Re publican, and I look for an increased ma jority over 1888. There will be no slump in the Western States." Roth Sides Acknow lctlo tho Kesnlt Hangs in the Dalancc. Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 7. That West Virginia is an extremely doubtful State is acknowledged by the conservative clement iu all parties. There are four tickets in the field, viz. Democratic, Re publican, Prohibitionist and Populist. The last named party has a considerable foot hold in the State, and would have cast, it is thought, 10,000 to 20,000, but within the past three or four weeks numbers have deserted their ranks and gone back to either the Democratic or Republican parties. The Prohibitionists will cut no figure of any importance in the fight to-morrow. The great battle is between the Democrats and Itepuhiicaus, both of wnom have made a close canvass of the voting strength in this State. So close has the canvass been made that the Republicans claim the State, lrom the electoral vote to constable, including everything, bv from 3,000 to 4,400. The Democrats are both cautious and conservative, aud the State Executive Committee, whose headquarters are in this city, say they ai confident that the State will give its electoral vote lor Cleveland, and that all State officers and the Legislature will be Democratic The majority will probably be 1,500 to 2,000. The rain to-day and to-night promises to continue throughout to-morrow, and if it docs it is looked upon as a favorable omen for the Democrats. To-morrow's election will be the first held under the Australian system, and it is not known what may come out of it, more thau to make every voter vote his ticket straight, as he will tear to scratch it lest he make a blunder, thereby having his ballot thrown out. 2,000; Congressman by 1,500, and Governor and the entire State ticket by 1,000, with the possible exception of one railroad com missioner. On the other hand, Chairman Maratto, of the Democratic Committee, claims the State for the Fusionists by 2,000 to 3,000. The Legislature will be very close, and is claimed by both sides. Republicans have been confident of a majority of 15 all along until Saturday, when they weakened on discouraging reports. Conservative politi cians place North Dakota in doubt, with the chances favoring the Weaverites. Otto Peemiller, Chairman of tho South Dakota Democratic Central Committee, is to-day claiming South Dakota's four electoral votes for Weaver by a majority of 6,750 votes. He made wagers to that effect and seems entirely confident of such a result. CALIFORNIA. MICHIGAN. Republicans Claim to Have tho Stato Solid by About 18,000. Detroit, Nov. 7. Both Republicans and Democrats claim this State. Daniel J. Campau, Chairman ot the Democratic State Central Committee, says his party will elect its State ticket by a good majority and more than half of the Presidental electors and Congressmen. He also hopes to have a majority in the next Legislature, which will elect a United States Senator to suc ceed Francis B. Stockbridge, whose term will expire next March. No figures are given, however, to substantiate these claims. Senator McMillan, Chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee, predicts a victory for his party in this State. He declares the State ticket will be elected by a plurality ot from 14,000 to 18,000. A ma jority will be bad in the next Legislature, thus making the United States Seuatorship sale lor the Republicans. Chairman Mc Millan says that large gains will be made iu the number of Congressman elected the last time, and eight of the Republican electors, he thinks, are sate. It is asserted by the Chairmen of the Prohibition and People's committees that their respective parties will each poll about 30,090 votes. NEW JERSEY. X Foil Vote Expected and a Small Demo cratic Plurality. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 7. New Jersey will vote to-morrow for Presidental electors and for Governor, eight Congressmen, seven Senators and GO members of the Assembly. The next Legislature will elect a successor to United States Senator Rulus & Blodgctt The vote is to be com pared with that of 1888. when the vote was as lollows: Harrison, 144,342; Cleveland, 151,493; Prohibitionist, 7,904. Three years ago the Democratic candidate for Governor polled 138,245, and the Itepublican candi date 123,992. Registration totals are not available to-night . The outlook is for the largest possible vote to-morrow, and the indications to night favor the election of the Cleveland electors. The Governorship is in consid erable doubt, but Werts is a slight favorite. The Legislature will be Democratic. VIRGINIA. The Democrats Believe They Will nave 15,000 Plurality. Richmond, Nov. 7. The close of the political canvass in this State to-night was a quiet one. The Democrats have made an active fight throughout Virginia, while the Republicans and Third partyites have bad few speakers on the hust ings. The Republicans have no regular candidates in the field for Congress except in the Ninth district, but it seems generally understood that the party as a rule will support the Third party candi dates whose names appear 011 the same ticket with the Harrison electors. Leading Democrats throughout the State appear confident that Cleveland will carry Virginia by a good majority, while some place the figures as high as 20,000. Republicans will not give figures for Harrison, but affirm that, the State will cast its electoral vote Jor him. Chairman Gordon, of the Democratic State Committee, to-night claims that Virginia will give Cleveland 15,000 plurality. Tho State Solidly Republican If the Populists Aren't Very Plenty. San Francisco, Nov. 7. The cam paign in California closed with the three principal State committees claiming victory to-morrow, though Democratic claims are made with certain qualifications. Max Popper, Chairman of the Democratic Com mittee, says that if 20,000 votes are polled for Weaver the State will go for Cleveland, and he is inclined to believe the Populist vote will be large enough to secure Democratic victory. The Populists' com mittee claims Weaver will carry the State by a small plurality. Chairman Meyers, of the Republican State Committee, will not venture any statement as to plurality, but says that his committee has the greatest confidence that the State will go for Harri son. The uncertainty as to the result of the Legislative vote in California is increased by the fact that the Citizens' Non-Partisan partv, which has nominated a full muni cipal ticket in San Francisco, has also nominated 23 candidates for the Legislature in this city, and their candidates are di vided between the Republican and Demo cratic parties. SOUTH DAKOTA. Tho Associated Press Gives the State to Weaver by Over 5,000. Yankton, S. D., Nov. 7. Tremendous excitement was occasioned here in political circles upon the announcement that the Democratic Central Committee had passed the following resolutions, addressed to the Democratic voters of South Dakota: Resolved, That it is the sense or the Dem ocratic state Central committee' that the Demociaiic voters of South Dakota cast their votes for the Weaver electoial ticket, and therelry aid iu electing our standard beaieis, Grover Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson, and this committee lequosts the heatty co-opuration ot every Democrat in this state to accomplish this: and, Resolved, Further, that all Democrats of South Dakota should htand loyally by their Congre-sioual and State tickets, and therebv materially advance their party's permanent wellare in this State. These resolutions mean the defeat of the Harrison electors in South Dakota bv from 5,000 to 12,000. The Legislature will also go to the lusionists. COLORADO. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Even tho Democrats Concede the White Mountain State to the Republicans. Concord, N. H., Nov. 7. At Republi can headquarters it is claimed that the State will give Harrison npward of 2,500 plurality; that Smith will be elected Gov ernor by the people; that both Blair and Baker will be elected to Congress, and that WISCONSIN. Democrats Even Claim This Old-Timer by 13,000 Plurality. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 7. Both Chairman Wall.of the Democratic, and Chair man Thom, of the Republican State Com mittee, believe success is certain for their parties in this State. Mr. Wall says: I see no reason why I should change my figures made Saturday. It is my judgment that the State ot Wisconsin will go Demo cratic to-morrow by at least 13,000; that there will not be any great difference between tho vote ot Mr. Cleveland and Governor Peck. The Legislature will be Democratic In both branches, the Senate by a large majority. This prediction is not mere guess work, but is the result ot caretul examination and computation. The Republican Chairman, Mr. Thorn, says: 4 1 am not giving nny figures, but I have confidence In a magnificent Republican vic tory tor the national and State tickets. The Legislature is fighting ground in spite of the disadvantage of an unfair apportionment. The Republicans will elect not less than seven out of the ten Congressmen. Weaverites Claim They Will Have as Much as 10,000 Plurality. Denver, Col., Nov. 7. Chairman W. H. Giffith, of the Republican State Com mittee, expresses the opinion that Harri son and the State and Congressional ticket will be elected by 10,000 plurality. This is stoutly contradicted by Chairman McICin ley, of the Clevelandites, who recently withdrew their electors and adopted the People's party head of the ticket. Mr. Mc Kinlev thinks the Weaver electors will have a plurality of from 8,000 to 10,000. Frank P. Arbuckle, Chairman of the Weaver and Free Coinage Democrats (these two tickets reading alike),-who lused with the People's party, thinks that the entire ticket will be victorious with probably the exception of the Congressman from the First district. Chairman C B. Stone, of the People's party, is confident ot the elec tion of Weaver.and the balance of hit ticket in this State. Betting in the pool rooms oa the result in this State is 2 to 1 in favor of Weaver. NEVADA. 000 majority. The estimate of the Demo cratic State Committee is that Cleveland will have a clear majority of 27,000 over Harrison and Weaver combined, and elect members of Congress by not less than 1,000 majority, and from that to 5,000. The straight Harrison and Reid ticket, it lis expected, will poll from 20,000 to 30,000 votes in the State. Cleveland win run several thousand ahead of the ticket. NEBRASKA. Party Leaders Assert There Is No Doubt of Weaver's Success There. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 7. Special. Democrats and Republicans closed the Weaver Likely to Get the Electoral Vote, but by a Small Figure. San Francisco, Nov. 7. An authori tative dispatch from Nevada, this evening says it is impossible to venture a prediction as to plurality, but Weaver will probably carry the State. Newlands, the Third party candidate for Congress, will also probably get a majority slightly less than Weaver's. Stewart has an even chance of losing four counties in his Senatorial contest Siorey, Washoe, Qrmsby and Douglas in which case he will be beaten, by the opposition hold-over Republican Senators. A dispatch from Reno, this evening, 'says the silver committee claim the electoral vote by a majority ot 2,000. There are two Democratic State Committees, one for fu sion and the other a straight Cleveland. The latter, however, concedes the State to the Populists. ALABAMA. Democrats Expect Cleveland's Clear Ma jority to Be 87,000. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 7. The Democratic headquarters have returns from every county in the State. Without' excep tion they show uniform gains over the August vote, when the Democrats had 12,- IOWA. A Eepnbllcan Plurality of G.000 to 10,000 Is Expected Hero. Dubuque, Ia., Nov. 7. The following is from Democratic source: The campaign closed to-night vith both parties confident of success. Advices re ceived from various points indfcito that the claims of Democrats have a more substan tial foundation than those of their oppo nents. Thoy give figures obtained by a poll of the State, showing suffi cient gains to give tho State to Cloveland by at least 6,000. The Republican managers, while claiming the State, give no definite fk'uies and rofuso to ivo informa tion as to why they are confident. Senator Allison figures out 10,000 .or tho Republi cans. A week ago he was claiming ?0,oo;. The extraordinary lncrenso In the registra tion in cities is strongly in favor of the Dem ocrats, and tho activity or the Piohihition lsts lor their ticket will take hundreds or votes from the Republicans. The following is from Republican sources: On the eve of the election tho advantages in this State ore with Republicans. This is conceded by Democrats themselves. Betting in Des Moines has been 2 to 1 In favor of Harrison. Republicans are very confident to-night, and the only possible danger to thoin Is In the chance that tho vote or the Third party mid Prohibitionists should be uaexpectedly large. which does not seem possible trom present advices. Tho total vote that will be cast is estimated from 450,000 to 400,000. The Democratic Com mittee's figures are that Cleveland's total vote will be 225,000, the Populists' 20.000, Pro hibitionists' 7,000. They give Harrison only about 208,000. 'ihey claim he cannot get moie than about 210,009 votes In all, which is less than lie had 4 years ago. Republicans cancedo Cleveland 213.C00, but don't believo he will poll that manv; the People's party 20,000 and the Prohibitionists from 5,000 to 7,000. They olalm for Harrison from 220,0,0 to 210,000. KANSAS. The Republicans Claim Everything, but tho Populists Protest. TorEKA, Kan., Nov. 7. The situation in Kansas changed slightly more in favor of the Fusionists to-day, when Sydney G. Cook, Democratic candidate for Congress in the Fifth district, withdrew in favor of John Davis, the Populist incumbent. It is expected Cook's withdrawal will elect Davis, and will also lend considerable Dem ocratic strength to the Weaver electoral and the State Fusion tickets. Fnsion has now been accomplished in all the districts excepting the Sixth. Chairman Simpson, of the Republican State Central Committee, claims everything. He says the Repub licans will without doubt have a majority ot from 10,000 to 20,d00 on the State ami national tickets, and will elect every Con gressional candidate. The People's party men'and Fusionists are even more confident than the Republicans. Chairman Breidentbal, of the Populist State Central Committee, claims the elec tion.of Lewelling, candidate for Governor, by a majority ot at least 12,000, and says that Weaver will run ahead ot the State ticket by at least 10,000 votes.

SOUTH CAROLINA. if the Tickets A Plurality of 50,000 Here Are Legal. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 7. The only element of doubt that exists in the election is the printing of the Democratic ballots. It is said that it is only the Presidental electoral tickets that are of illegal size, the State tickets being of the regulation pat tern, and this would seem to give color to rumors of bad faith on the part of the Alliance men, who control the Democratic machine. Most of the county chairmen, however, have been warned, and if they desire to do so this fault can be remedied, but on the other hand, most of the county chairmen are Alliance men, too, and it is doubtlul if they will correct the mistake unless State Chairman Irby orders them to do 60. , According to the best information obtain able the vote of the State for President will stand about this way: Cleveland, 70,000; Harrison. 20,000; Weaver from 1,000 to 2,000. These figures may vary, but they present about the voting strength of the parties. MARYLAND. Democrats Says It's Graver's by 10,000 Republicans Concede It by 0,000. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 7.
