The Administration Estimate.
San Francisco, Nov. 5. The follow
ing Washington special appears in this
morning's Examiner: "It doubtless
will astonish the politicians of the
country, . particularly those in New
York, to learn that the figures in pos
session of members of the administra
tion show the possible defeat of David
B. Hill for governor by 30,000 plurality.
It is not claimed that these figures are
the result of any special canvass. ' They
are based simply on information that
could be obtained without unusual effort
and a general knowledge of the situation
in that state. In estimating the prob
able vote in New York for governor the
administration have not confined them
selves to one method, but have made a
comparison of the general vote of the
last three years and a detailed state
ment of the probable county pluralities.
These tables are in possession of officials
so close to the president that it is quite
certain they have been shown to Mr.
Cleveland. If any one has supposed
that the interest of the administration
has been confined solely to congressional
district fights, and that the complexion
of the next house has been alone a mat
ter of moment, . he has been ' misled.
Every move in the battle of the gover
norship of New York state has been
followed closely by the president, whose
keen interest has been shared by his
cabinet, particularly by Secretaries La
mont and Bissell. Private Secretary
Thurber has kept himself thoroughly
posted On the New York situation, and
the probabilities have been, gone over
again and again."
Forecast of the Result by Different
Parties.
Chicago, Nov. 5. The Inter Ocean
prints the following forecast of Tuesday's
election from its Washington correspond
ent: "It can now be confidently stated
without fear of injuring plans which
have been made, that it is the expecta
tion of the republicans that they will
have a majority of the next house.
Conceding everything to the democrats
said to be conceded to the extreme
verge of conservatism, and making no
claim in some of the southern states
where the republicans have a right to
believe that they will be successful, it
is maintained that the republicans will
certainly cut the democratic majority
down to 38 ; that they will probably
have a majority of 10 for protection and
prosperity, and that they possibly may
have a majority 46. Without going in
to details by congressional districts,
this estimate by states is as follows :
Total number ' of representatives 356;
democrats, 155 : republicans, 159, prob
able republicans in addition, 24; doubt
ful, with a strong probability that many
of them will be republican, 18.
, : Incorrect JLfat of Voters.
Fresno, Cal., Nov. 5. It has been
discovered that the great register of the
county, just printed, fails"5 to record
number of names of citizens entitled to
vote, and the omissions are so. numerous
and serious that it is more than prob
able that the election will be invalidated
The chairmen of three party committees;
the republicans, democrats and pop'
ulists, held a meeting yesterday and de
cided to have a supplement issued in
baste, containing all the omitted names
discovered up. to this morning. There
ia little doubt that the trouble has
arisen from careless clerical work, and
that the printers are not responsible.
but the situation is very grave as it
stands. .
Militia Assembled at Kansas City.
. Kansas City, Nov. 5. :A special order
has been issued by Governor Stone that
the Third regiment of the National
Guard of Missouri assembled at the ar
mory tonight in this city, and remain
under arms until after election. The
cause of the order is said to be a fear of
a collision between the American Pro
tective ' Association . element and the
rougher portion of the Catholics, be
tween which two factions the feeling is
already very high.
Cleveland Faith In Democracy.
Alboin, N. Y., Nov. 5. Robert L,
Thatcher, of this place, a lifelong friend
Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
of Cleveland, publishes a letter from the
president, in which Cleveland says : "I
am enough of a democrat myself, and
have enongh faith in the democracy of
those who profess allegiance to our party
to believe that in the face of the common
enemy, we shall present a nnited and
solid front."
