The campalgn ended yeeterday wlth an on* shaken popular confldence in the atceeplng trt? umph of McKlnley and Hobart. Republlcar.B and old-fanhloned Democrata unlted ln the bellef that nothlng could B)W prevent the electlon of the Republlean Natlonal tlcket by a large majority In the Electoral College and by an overwhelmlng plurallty on the popular vote. The aame confldence waa felt regardlng tho trlumphant electlon of the Republlean candldatea for Oovernor, Lbutenant-Oovernor and Juatlce of the Court of Appeala; that almost a aolld Re publican delegatlon ln the, LV'th CongresB from thia State would be choaen, and not leaa than a two-thlrda majority ln the Assembly. The opln lon of well-poated polltlolans waa that the ma? jority of Black and Woodruff would fall little short of that to be glven to McKlnley and Ho? bart. A plurallty for McKlnle-* of not lesa than 250, 000 ln the State waa not doubted In the Republl? ean and Sound Money Demoeracy, catnpi. Sar.e Popocrata took a Birr.llar vlew of the situatlon and practlcally thrcw up the spunge. The only fear expreaacd at any of the eound money headquartera yeaterday waa that the seeming certalnty of vlctory might work diaad vantagcously to-d:.y ln getting out the vote. There waa apprehenalon that eome electora might on this account not take the trouble to go to the polla. For thla reaaon lt waa urged that every bellever ln sound money be on the alert to day to arouac the lndlff>rent and neglectful, If any there be, ln thla tremendous crlsla ln tho country'a hlstory, and that every vote be polled. Mayoff Strong aald yesterday: "I have every reaaon to belleve that the vote for McKlnley In this State to-morrow wlll be by 200.000 the largest ever eaat. Every man aeema Inaplred with the feellng that he ought to make thla vlc? tory the most momentous and memorable that waa ever achleved at the polla. To aecompllsh this every eltlren Bhould defend his country'a llfe wlth hla ballot. Every vote for McKlnley shouid be polled. Let none be lost through neg lect or Indlfference or overconfidence." "I waa born and brought up ln New-York Clty," sald Prealdent Barker of the Tax Depart? meni, "and I have eeen every uprlslng In the last fifty years. My heart sweiled with patriotio prlde when the defendera of the Unlon marched from anl through New-York to take thelr places at the front, but never before did I behold such a day as last Sarurday. Beneath the sunllght of a beneficent Providence and the wavlng of mlllions of Amerlcan flags there was Insplred a confldence In Ihe atablllty of our country and her Instltutlona that must show itself ln the voting to-morrow. It thrllled me wlth patriotlc ardor ro that I not only Jolned ln slnglng 'Amerlca.' but supplemented that by slngtng 'Pralse Ood From Whom All Bleselnga Flow.' I have falth to belleve that the rlgbt must prevall. that our glorloua Institutlona wlll be preserved through tne electlon of McKlnley and Hobart. I eaat my flrst vote for Abraham Llncoln.

"have laauea whlch ao threaten the very foundationa of tha Oovernment been preaented to the votera of tha country. A man who fa!ls to cast hls ballot to-morrow does not deaerve to retain the proud litle of Amerlcan cltizen.
