Expects to Overcome the Up-state

thinks ho can, and his sincere Judg

worthy of the highest respect. Bin
one of his own men, who has achieved
remaikablo success In estimating the
vote of Now Voik, tells me In confi

In tho entlio cty will probably not ex

100,000 plurality for MoKlnley In th?
entire state. In 1803 tho Democratic
vote in Manhattan and Bronx was ITS,.

to 50,000 Democrats -who voted for
Cleveland In 1892 changed around In
1896.
The larger proportion of these In 1898
returned to their party, for In that year
Van Wyck, as candidate for governor,
received 173,476 votes. But It is evident
to every observer that this year a
great number of Democrats still stand
where they did In 1896. Then McKlnley
carried Manhattan and Btonx by 20,739
and it will take a largo return of sound
money Democrats to tho fold to over
camo that plurality and glvo Bryan a
majority of even 30,000, The high wat
er mark of the Democratlo vote In
Manhattan and Bronx wa3 In 1892,
when, with the business men and
worklngmcn behind him, Cleveland
carried the old city by 76,000 plurality
and tho state by -15,000. Only the return
of tho entire sound money vote which
descited Bryan In 1896 could, restore
tho Demol-rutlo vote to the figures of
eight years ago, and that seems Im
possible. Even In lbS8 Cleveland (polld
163,'626 In New York county, onlyt 13,000
less than he got In 1892, and ovea that
Immense 'vote, which rave him I7.00
plurality, was not enough to carry
tho state, Inasmuch as King county
gave McKlnley 33,000 plurality .In UH,
tho task Croker ha undertake la cr
talnly a stupendous one.
