Show NEW YORK'S GREAT DAY. The Democratic Committee Have Figured Fig-ured Hill iu by a 30,000 Plurality. A Little Sarcasm From Gladstone to the Tories on the Disestablish- . ment Question. Editor Stead on the Witness-Stand in His Own Defense. The New York Election. NewYobk, November 2. The campaign in this State may be said to have closed. The Times says, sententiously: "We have no doubt of the result." The -Sun says: "The Democratic committee commit-tee look for 30,000 plurality for Hill, and intimate inti-mate that the Prohibition vote will be almost as large as Hill's plurality." Editorially, neither the Tribune nor the than that the result will be close. Correspondents Corres-pondents of the two journals, however, are widely apart, the former's claiming a victory vic-tory for Davenport, and the latter's a victory for ffill. The Herald prints two tables of the probable prob-able majority by counties, both made up by Republicans, one of which gives Davenport 8,450 majority, and the other 11,600. The Tribune and Times say the betting is 100 to 75 on Davenport, and the World, while confessing that those were the figures a few days ago, says betting is now even. The Tribune says: "Governor Hill is not devoid of humor. To a friend on Friday he said: 'Well, whatever may be the result of this campaign, one thing is certain the Elmira Gazette, Jones' Scale Works and the Pleasant Valley Mine Company will never again receive so much free advertising as they have received since this campaign began.'" John Kelley's slight indisposition has been magnified into a serious relapse, by those who do not know his condition. He is able to attend to business and receive a few friends. In the latter part of this month he will go to Florida for a short time, and afterwards after-wards will make a long tour in Mexico. He has for several years been desirous of seeing that country and studying its institutions. |
