TSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH, J
NewYohk, Oct. 19. If outsiders -would
not bother the political machinists, a visit
to the two State headquarters these days
would prove an attractive diversion from
every day life. These two State head
quarters are now practically the points of
interest in the great Presidental battle. As
New York goes, so goes the election.
Everything was at full tilt to-day and the
contest between Cleveland and Harrison
has narrowed down to the work done at
these two headquarters.
There is a realizing sense of the responsi
bility, and the work done to-day was com
mensurate with the situation. William
Prank Harrity, the National Democratic
engineer, spent some of the day with Sir.
Sheeban and Thomas Henry Carter,
.the National Republican engineer, whisp
ered in the ear of Deacon Hackett
Mr. Harrity's political life has
been spent mostly in Pennsylvania.
He is necessarily unacquainted to some ex
tent with New York State politics. Mr.
Carter's political existence has spread over
Indiana, Iowa and Montana. He, also by
V reason of this, is not familiar with all the
ins and outs of the political battle in the
Empire State. The two National engi
neers, therefore, look on at the two State
engineers and whisper words of encourage
ment. The Democratic Track Uncertain.
. In view of the record of New York State
"Jfor 30 years the Democratic train is rnn
ning on a most uncertain track. The Re
publicans carried the State in 1860, 1804,
"872, 1880 and 1888. The Democrats were
winners in 1868, 18TC and 1884. Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan's train is running along
confronting the Harrison majority of four
years ago of 14,000. The prestige of this
must be overcome.
It was ascertained' from the highest au
thorities to-day that Mr. Sheeban will also
be called upon to confront what promises to
be the heaviest Republican vote above the
Harlem bridge in a number of years. It
was developed that all the time Deacon
Hackett and hiB stokers were thonght
to be resting at the throttle, they were
working like dray horses, and that the Re
publicans may come down to the New York
City line with 100,000 majority. This
allows for the natural increase in the vote
from one Presidental contest to another.
The encouraging word was sent to Mr.
Sheehan yesterday, though, that if the
registration turns ont all right Tammany
will give a majority for the national ticket
in New York county of 77,000; Brooklyn,
18,000, and Queens and Richmond, 5,000.
Clam Diggers Swear Vengeance.
The situation in Suffolk is bad. The
clam diggers and fishermen are greatly in
censed because Fire Island was taken for a
quarantine station, and they swear that
they will knife the Democratic ticket to
get square. Cord Meyer, Jr., and Mayor
Gleason, of Long Island City, and
others familiar with the situation on Long
Island have given this information at Mr.
Sheehan's headquarters, and Mr. Sheehan's
effort are now being directed toward
straightening out this tangle.
Another difficulty confronting Mr.
Sheehan is the wholesale colonizing
charged against the Republicans in the in
terior cities and towns. Mr. Sheehan con
tinued to-day his labors in an
ecort 10 ierrei ont tnese ras
cals and bring them '"to justice.
If he cannot do that he will take every step
to prevent them from voting on fraudulent
registration. All the difficulties that have
been thrown in his pathway come from the
Republicans directed by Deacon Hackett,
and some of them have been suggested by
the Hon. Dave Martin.
It is true that there is some hesitancy on
the part of certain Democratic spellbinders
of minor rank to accommodate Chief Spell
binder Hudson. Part of this trouble,
though, comes from the fact that Mr!
Sheehan cannot be particularly munificent
in his pay to the spellbinders." Not all are
speechmakers for pay.
What the Advantage Is.
In addition to all of the work heaped on
Mr. Sheehan, he has to hurry about to col
lect necessary funds among his rich Demo
cratic friends. The situation is different over
the' way at Deacon Hackett's, There
is no scurrying around hunting for cash.
It flows in by the trunkfnl. The Republic
ans say that they deserve this generositv
because their candidate stands on a hard
money plank.
The Republicans well know their advan
tage in the shape of the Harrison majority
of four years ago, but they are not resting
on that. Tbey started to-day the promised
house-to-house canvass of the voters in New
York City. They have expert agents, who
visited the thickly populated diitricts, ask
ing those who have registered their qualifi
cations as voters.
Deacon Hackett and his friends in the
the Republican County Committee Bay that
this course has been adopted tor the pur
pose of preventing ineligible persons from
voting on November 8. The Repub
licans are backed in their action by a
State law, which makes it punishable by
fine or imprisonment for any of the prose- j187,491 lor the two days in 1883,
cnted ones to refuse to answer the questions
put to them by the Republican agents.
'The mathematical sharps of Deacon
Hackett's bureau, when asked what they
thonght would be the rote hereabouts on
election day, said that the Democrats in
New York county would not Ret over 65,000
majority; in Brooklyn, 16,000 and in Rich
mond and Queens 4,500.
Messrs. Sheehan and Haokett sent word
to-day to all the county leaders that they
must fee that their men are registered on
Saturday, the first day for the registration
in town and rural districts.
These qniet spots will hare quite as much
to do with settling the present contest as
the great cities of the State. Both of the
State camps have lieutenants in all the
towns provided with vehicles in which to
tote the country voters to the registry
booths.
JERSEY IN LINE.
Collector Cooper Says the State Will Surely
Go Republican The Situation Stiffening
Up and the Outlook Becoming Brighter
as the Days Go By.
Philadelphia, Oct 1ft Special
"The Republican ontlook is encouraging,"
said Collector Cooper to-day. "The situa
tion has brightened very much for a week
or more. All along the line there has
been a steady improvement, and Harrison's
chances to-day are decidedly the best There
has been a noticeable stiffening up of the
Republican forces, due mainly to the early
heavy registration in the interior of 'New
York and other States. In New York, Con
necticut, New Jersey and Delaware great
activity is shown. In those States the im
provement is particularly marked.
"I am informed to-day by a well-known
leader in Delaware that Harrison will
carry New Castle countv by 1,200 majority.
That will give him the State. The Demo
crats would not give onr people a chance to
register. Tliey kept them from registering
and we could make no fight in 1888. Since
then the Republicans have had six or seven
of the registering officers arrested and con
victed, and this year they have not only
succeeded in getting our people registered,
but they have prevented a large number of
names irom being iranduienlly placed upon
the register. Last evening I addressed a
large meeting at Woodstown, New Jersey.
"The people in Jersey are aroused. There
is a general belief that the Republican can
didate for Governor will be elected. Why,
I met a familv of ten, all Democrats, who
will vote for Xean and the Republican can
didates for the Legislature. Many of the
Democrats' are tired and disgusted with the
way things have been going on.
'To strengthen the Abbett faction the
last Legislature created 2,625 offices in the
State and increased the amonnt to be paid
out in salaries (500.000. This has caused
great dissatisfaction, and to such an extent
that many Democrats all over the State
will vote for onr candidate for Governor.
There does not seem to be any doubt of his
election. Harrison will undoubtedly get at
least half the Democratic vote cast for
Kean, and it is thought he will carry the
State for the National ticket The situa
tion to-day is very encouraging."
A TEMPERANCE MANIFESTO.
Two Ex-Governors on a Paper Demanding
Fledges In ravor of Local Option.
Bellefonte, Oct 1ft Ex-Governors
Cortin and Beaver have put their names to
a long paper favoring an enactment of a
local law by the next Legislature in favor
of temperance. Tbe paper sets forth that
A majority of the voters in five of the
seven counties embraced within the bounds
of the Huntingdon Presbytery voted for the
amendment of the Constitution of Pennsyl
vania, prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating drinks as a beverage,
and an aggregate majority of 8,262 was
given for the amendment" It is, there
lore, contended that "It is manifestly un
just that the admitted evils resulting from
the traffic in intoxicating drinks should be
visited upon the localities which desire to
be relieved from the burdens thus im
posed." In view of this, therefore, and to help
right the wrong, it is recommended "that
in voting for candidates for Legislative
and executive offices, to support only those
who will pledge their attitude as favorable
to the passage of a local option law." The
circulation of the paper and Its long list of
signers is creating consternation among the
Legislative and Judicial candidates in the
counties referred to.
COL. DYER TAKEN OUT.
Tennessee Republicans See No Hope
in
righting Democratic Methods.
Memphis, Oct 1ft Special Colonel
L. E. Dyer, Assistant Postmaster and the
Republican candidate for Congress from the
tenth district, comprising the counties of
Shelby, Tipton, Hardeman and Fayette, has
formally withdrawn from the race, leaving
the field to Hon. Josiah Patterson, Demo
crat, the present member, and Y. V. Neal,
Third party.
The withdrawal was the result of a re
quest irom the Executive Committee, which
met to-night and passed resolutions indors
ing Colonel Dyer, but setting forth that it
was useless to contend against the pros
pective counting out method of the Democ
racy, which has the machinery. It is an
open secret, however, that a deal was made
with the Populites, and the withdrawal of
Dyer will greatly impair Josiah Patter
son's chances, as the Republicans will sup
port the Popnlite ticket
GEN. SICKLES ACCEPTS.
He Says Gen. CatUn's Action Does Not

New Yobk, Oct 1ft Special General
Sickles said this afternoon that he had
already accepted the nomination for Con

would in no wise alter his decision. He
said:
"The Constitution of the United States

HE IS ANXIOUS TO FIND OUT
Whether the Federal Government Has Any
Sights at This Time.
0BDEBS THAT MAT CAUSE TROUBLE
SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TBI DISPATCH.
Little Rock, Ask., Oct 19. The pros
pects for turmoil .and bloodshed in every
precinct in this State on election day are of
the most menacing character, because of the
pronunclamiento just sent forth by the
Chief Federal Supervisor of Elections John
McClure, known since the days of recon
struction as "Poker Jack" McClure, in
which period he made himself notorious
and odious for his high handed and tyran
nical acts.
"Poker Jack" McClure is the John L
Davenport of the South in an aggravated
form, for in addition to equaling Davenport
in audacity he is possessed of the most
vicious quality of personal courage, and
bloodshed has no terrors nor hesitation
effect on his action when once he starts on
his autocratic crusade in the interests of
radical Republicanism.
McClure, assisted by two clerks, is busily
engaged in appointing supervisors of elec
tion and forwarding them instructions.
Fifty-one of the 75 counties in the State
have petitioned for the appointment of
these officials. He expects to appoint about
2,000 supervisors.
Where the U. S. Comes In.
The instructions he is sending to his ap
pointees are different from those of any
Chief Supervisor of any other State in the
Union. Judge McClure contends that the
Arkansas election law in some of its pro
visions is unconstitutional, and that the in
structions that he is sending to the super
visors, if obeyed, are certain to result in a
serions clash between those officials and the
election judges. i
"I just want to see," he remarked to-day,
"if the Federal Government has any rights
in an election in a State where a President
and Vice President and six Congressmen
are to be voted for. If not, then the four
years of war, the shedding of vast quanti
ties of blood and the expenditure of mill
ions of dollars of money amounted to noth
ing." The following are Jndge McClure'a in
structions to supervisors upon the point in
which the State election law is ignored:
"The act of 1891 declares anv elector who
shall tell the judges that he cannot read or
write, or tnat, by reason of physical dis
ability, he Is unable to mark his 'ballot.
may have the assistance of two -'of' the
judges in the preparation of his ballot, who,
in the presenee ot the elector and in the
presence of each other, shall prepare his
ballot for him as he wishes to vote it
They Have a Bight to See, Too.
"But before any such elector shall be re
quired or permitted to tell how he wishes
his ballot made up or for whom he wishes
to vote, all electors, including those in the
booths, shall be required to withdraw from
the polling room. If such a person as is
described in the section last quoted should
apply to the judges of election to have his
ballot prepared you will not leave the
room. You have the right to see all that
the judges and clerks of election do. in the
discharge of any duty imposed on them by
law. The marking of a ballot for a voter
who cannot read or write is a duty enjoined
on the judges by the act of 189L
"It may and no doubt will be urged that,
to allow you to witness whether the ballot
is marked in accordance with the wish or
direction of the voter would destroy its
secrecy. The law itself destroys its secrecv
when it requires an elector, before deposit
ing his ballot in the box, to state in the
presence of two jndges for whom he de
sires to vote. There is no more warrant in
the State Constitution to compel a voter
who cannot read or write to disclose to two
of the judges of election for whom he in
tends to vote than there is tor requiring
one who can read and write to do the same
thing;
Mast Preserve the Honesty.
"But, if there is, then the election offi
cers of the United States, whose duty it is
to 'inspect and scrutinize' the conduct of
the election; to see that an honest election
is held and proper returns made, are en
titled to all the information and knowledge
which the State law allows to pass into the
hands of its election officers.
"If ther judges of election are called upon
to prepare a ballot for an elector you have
the right to take and remain in such po
sition as will enable yon to see whether the
ballot is prepared in accordance with tbe
direction of the elector. The law places
you in the room where the voting is done
to see whether a fraud is perpetrated by
which the result of the election will be
affected. To prepare a ballot contrary to
the wishes or direction of the voter consti
tutes a fraud and one that tends to affect
the result of the election. The act of Con
gress under which you are acting is, , as has
been said, paramount to any State law, con
cerning elections for Representatives in
Cengress.
Disregards the State Law.
"The State law is in conflict with the act
of Congress, and its observance would
retard and interfere with a proper discharge
of your duties; you will therefore disregard
the State law and be guided by the per
formance of your duties by the act under
which you were appointed. ,
"I am advised that deputy marshals will
be appointed for your precinct and be in
attendance on the dfav of election. Should
you need any protection you can apply to
them. Tbe marshal or his deputy has
power to arrest anyone, no matter what his
office or station maybe, who interferes
with you in the discharge of yonr duties.
The power of the deputy marshal will he
referred to hereafter.
"It is no part of your duty to mark a
ticket for an elector and vou will not per
form any act of that kind. The law im
poses that duty on the judges of election
and they alone will have that power. If
tbey refuse to perform that dnty, or mark
it contrary to the direction of tbe voter,
report all snch violations of the law." '

Secretary Spaoldlng of the Treasury Replies
to the Charge That It Is Injurious
to American Interest He Shows How
It Acts Beneficially.
Washington, Oct 19. Acting Secre
tary of the Treasury Spaulding has written
a letter to the editor of a mining journal in
Michigan, in response to recent criticisms
on the drawback privileges of the tariff act
Tbe specific charge is that the allowance of
drawback on imported material is injurious
instead of beneficial to American interests,
and the case of iron ore is cited as proof.
Mr. Spaulding says:
While tbe tariff law urovidea for the es
tablishment of bonded smolcing warehouses,
it is evident from tbe faot that no iron ore
is treated in such, warehouses, that no in
ducements are offered by the privilege
whioh lead to tbe use of foreign instead of
domestic iron ore. The smelting establish
ments now operated under bond are princi
pally devoted to Imported lead and silver
ore, but no iron ore is utilized by them. This
seems to meet the complaint which is made
against tbe alleged discrimination in favor
of foreign iron ore. The arawbaok law
operates for the benefit of those manufact
urers who mate articles for exportation.
Certain foreign materials may In some cases

West Winsted, Conn., Oct 19. Eight
hundred pupils of the public schools went
to the rink to practice chorus singing on
National airs for Columbus Day. Temporary
seats were' ereoted in tiers to the height of
15 feet to hold 1,000 children. The first 400
had been seated in the upper tiers, when the
five top rows, collapsed. Three hundred
children fell to the floor in a heap, and the
wreck and their screams caused a panic
among tbe others, while several women
fainted. i
A crowd was early on the spot to rescue
the children, some of whom were pulled
out wua orozen arms, legs and collar bones,
or otherwise hurt, some being unconscious.
All the town doctors were summoned and
many teams were pressed into service to
take the children home. None were fatally
hurt The smallest children, occupied the
top seats, which had evidently been care
lessly constructed. There have been threats
of lynching Carpenter, Curtis, while there
are said to be many law suits in store for

guaranteeing the right of suffrage
to the holder; that the grand Jury
of Coahoma county was investigating the
matter, and that indictments were likely to
follow. Jndge Tourgee denies flatly the
fraud alleged in connection wtth tbe issue
of the certificates. He says that It is true
that the colored men killed by ihe whites
were members of the society 'The Na
tional Citizens' Association" but he pro
test that the association has no local or
ganization, no oaths or secret ceremonies,
and the only funds it has are what eome by
voluntary contribntion. The aims of the
society are to secure iree speech, protection
and equal opportunities for the blacks.
As to the price of the certificates of mem
bership, Jndge Tourgee says there was
none. These certificates were sent on the
payment of 2 cents for postage, and the 2
cents were magnified by the "nigger kill
ers" into 52. Only ?5 50 had been received
in this way from the entire State of Missis
sippi. As a matter of fact, an examina
tion of the certifltates. shows-no- misrepre
sentation, and there is no ''catch' about it

50 MEN IN BATTLE ARRAY.
One of Kentucky's Pactional Feuds Stops
Travel in a Whole District.
Lebanon, Ky., Oct 19. Terror reigns
on Scott's Ride, in this county, and a des
perate battle is expected at any moment
between the Shipps and their friends and
the Underwoods, Buleys and Skaggs on
the other. Each side numbers about 25
men, all heavily armed and ready for the
fray. Both sides have out their pickets,
and travel through the mountainous section
has been entirely suspended. The officers
of the law are powerless.
The present trouble dates back several
weeks ago, aUwhich time Shake Shipp's
wife was assaulted in Taylor county, near
Ball Hollow, by three men. Shipp's swore
out a warrant charging "Bulley' Skaggs
and Underwood with the crime. They had
a preliminary hearing1 at Camnbellsville
and were-jreleased. Shake Shipp lived
near Ball Hollow, and he was at once noti
fied to leave or his life would pay the
penalty. Shipp left Ball Hollow and
settled near the house of his brother, Bob
Shipp, in this county.

rsnOAZ. TXIXGXJLX TO THX BISrATCH.
Nbtw Yobk, Oct 19. The Hon; Wayne
MacVeagh, of Philadelphia, once Attorney
General of the United States under a Re
publican administration, made a Demo
cratic speech in New York in Cooper Union
Hall to-night The hall and the corridor
ontside were well filled. Before he' had
spoken five minutes Mr. MacVeagh had won
the attention of his audience. MacGranga
Coxe introduced President John H. Y. Ar
nold, of the Board of Aldermen, as Chair
man. Mr. Arnold made a short speech and
introduced Mr. MacVeagh, who said:
'1 would have preferred in speaking in
this great city, the home of the present can
didate of the Republican party for the Vice
Presidency, to speak in favor of his election
rather than against it, for I have been
privileged these very many years
to call myself the friend of Mr.
Reid, and to enjoy under other
roofs the same generous hospitality he is
now dispensing at Ophir Farm. But this
morning's Tribune, a newspaper I have been
reading all my life, causes me some embar
rassment in speaking as kindly as I would
wish either of Mr. Reid or of it by arraign
ing me. for the last offense in the world for
which he, I thought, would arraign me of
believing what the New York Tribune told
me.
Objected to Being Arraigned.
'It arraigns me for objecting to the ap
pointment of Mr. Egan as onr Minister to
Chile, and dishonestly attempts to pervert
what I said into an attack on Mr. Egan
because of his nationality."
Mr. MacVeagh spoke of the Republican
party in these words: "The principal ob
ject I have in this canvass is to persuade
intelligent and self respecting men that the
Republican party has so radically changed
its standard of public action and its poli
cies of legislation, as to merit the
phrase which I now deliberately ap
ply to it that of a revolutionary
party, engaged in overturning the
most valuable and sacred traditions of our
public life, and, unless checked, sure to
lead, in my judgment, to the destruction of
all respect for what is undoubtedly one of
the most important safeguards of our Chris
tian civilization, the right of private prop
erty. "And it is more particularly, to men -nos-
sessed of property to whom I wish to maker"
my appeal to-mgnt, and asK ait sucn men,
whether ther are Republicans or Demo
crats, who are not themselves receiving any
bonnty from the Government, to turn over
in their minds this question! unless the Re
publican party has radically changed its
standards and politics why should Judge
Gresham now feel constraine'd to join the
opposition to it?
Others Who Changed Their Minds.
"And consider the cose of General Jaoob
D. Cox, of Ohio. He, like Judge Gresham,
has been a life-long Republican of abso
lutely stainless character in every relation
in life. He also was a gallant soldier,
winning great distinction in war. No in- .
genuity can suggest any cause for General
Cox leaving the Republican party but that
high sense of public duty which has always
governed him. '
"There are thousands of others less well
known following the same course for the
same reasons, but I mention those two men
because they are both trained lawyers of
great ability, both gallant soldiers, both
have held Cabinet offices and both are
among the best and bravest men America
has produced in their time, and both have
decided that their du.y to their country
compels themto vote for Mr. Cleveland."
After speaking at length on the tariff,
silver and pension questions, he said:
"Just as all these delusions are rapidly dy
ing away, so the delusion about the force
bill is disappearing also. Many earnest and
honest members of the Republican party
formerly cherished the belief that some
steps ought to be taken by the National
Government to protect the right of suffrage
which that party had given to the colored
voters ot the South.
Considers the Force BITJ.
"It is true that the defeat of the force
bill by Mr. Blaine and his supporters in the
House of Representatives led many to sup
pose that it could not be so necessary as
tbey had thought, but there was a strong
sentiment still existing In its favor which
which was only dispelled by the experi
ence of the country under the four years of
wise and conservative administration under
Mr. Cleveland.
"At the close of that administration all
sensible men admitted that that substantial
and Industrial interests of the country were
perfectly safe in the hands f ' thd Demo
cratio party, and thenceforward it was
recognized that a "force bill"' was far too
high a price to pay for any benefits
it was likely to Moure. It was not, how
ever, until the Lodge bill disclosed in it
the full enormity that such a proposition
involved that the plain people made up
their minds that they would riot have it nor
anything resembling it For they then dis
covered that it involved an absolute reversal
of the underlyingfprinoiples of our liberties,
that of local self-government."
SHOT DEAD BY A DOCTOR.
A. West Virginia Desperado Tackles the
Wrong Han Near Huntington.
Huutington, W. Va., Oct la
Special) At Dunlow, 13 miles in the
wilds from this plaoe, John Thompson was
phot and killed byjDri Ihornbury last
night The affair was the outcome of a
family quarrel, and the killing was done in
the Doctor's drug store. Ihornbury was
filling a prescription when Thompson en
tered, and, brandishing a cleaver, called to
the Doctor, "D you, I'm going to kill
youl"
Witnesses relate that Thornbury wat
armed, and that without moving he drew
his revolver and shot Thomnson through
the heart Publlo opinion 'justifies the
killing. Thompson was one of three broth
ers who fought the McCoys, of Logan
county, some years ago, and finally killed
one of them. All three did time in the
penitentiary. Thornbury is a prominent
Mason in that part of the State and a re
spected citizen.
