David Martin, the Republican lender In Philadelphia, was shown an article contained in a Ntiw ior.k paper today, setting forth that the anti-Quay nnd Hnrrlson men have Inaugurated a movement to strike down Senator Quay, and that a fund of S200.000 has been guaranteed for use by iliiose who are to direct the fifrht. . The urticle further stated thut the movement was started the other night in Philadelphia at a private dinner which was attended by most of the men who were arrayed against Quay in his last fight of two months ago. After carefully reading the article through Mr. Martin said: "That's all stuff. No such dinner was held and there's not a word of truth in it." The gentleman was then nsked what he though of the outlook for tomorrow's election, and he replied: "I think we will poll S3 per cent, of our vote of last November. It may reach AO. per cent." - "Then, -wouldn't that give tho Re publican party r.O.OOO majority in Phil adelphia?" inquired a reporter. "At least 50,000 majority," was tho re sponse.

Tnmmnny Hall lenders predict that its county ticket -will be elected by from 40,0(10 to 60,000 majority, whl'" the Fusion ticket managers are just as confident that Tammany will not return to power.
