UnvlJ .Martin's Opinion.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. 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. In the tinpiro State,
New York, Nov. 4. The election In
New York etaite tomorrow will be for
state officers with the exception of gov
cir.jir. The battle faiKhla city will be be
itwetn the 'Forces of Good Govern
ment" represented by tlie I'lilon ticket
nnd the followers of Tammany Hall.
The Dnlon. or Fusion, county ticket,
conitains h names of Republica ns and
leaders of tho New York state Dem
ocracy, which is bitterly opposed to
Tammany Hall. Tho Democratic state
ticket, however, has been endorsed by
the state Democracy, and It Is believed
will receive the support of the different
factions.
The campaign in this city closed to
nigb without any extraordinary dem
onstration. 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. I'.oth sides de
clare that they will elect the state tick
et by comfortable? majorities.
In ltrooklyn the local campaign has
lon lively from Iho beginning. There
are -tbrcs oandJ.it-?! for mayor Shep
tcd (Ind (Deni.), Grout (P.egular Dem.),
o.nd Wurstrr (Rep). Republicans be-X-sve
'that Sh-ppaTJi will tike enough
vctw from Grout to elect Wurster. while
Grout's ma-r.'JMr feel certain that the
Rrpublica-.i ranks will be depleted by
f Oepefd to such an cxtont as 1o cause

The Republicans concede that their

T-lw Democrats claim that it will be
wiped out. and it'lra-t ex-Governor
CU.mpbtll will be elected by 10.000. Tho
camnvLttee chairman will make no es

"Down with bosfilsm" has been the

fully on my arrlvnl In New York. There
is nothing In the business any more,
nnd In nearly all of the states It Is a
felony, nnd I do nq,t vnnt to be classed

non-interference with prize fighting
would make men trust to nature's
weapons and would eventually do away
with shooting and cutting,"
