TFrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Xew Yokk, Nov. 4 Just now Chief
Supervisor of Elections John L Davenport
is the principal figure on the chessboard
here. His position is somewhat similar to
that gentleman of ancient times who, be
tween drawn swords, was laced with the
proposition: "Under which King, Bezonian,
peak or die."
Tammany lawyers write Mr. Davenport
Instructing liim as to his duties on election
day and prior thereto regarding the arrest
of illegal voters. The United States At
torney General has issued a manifesto de
claring what the law is regarding the duties
of United States marshals and other officials,
snd lastly the United States District At
torney here also gives an opinion. Mean
time, Mr. Davenport goes calmly on the
even tenor ol his way, and the end is not
yet
There are loud cries of fraud on both
tides, knives are whetted for the contest, the
police are appealed to in order that voters
may be protected. Party leaders are busy
over final details, and the great American
voter in New York stands ready to do his
duty when the time comes.
Both Sides Claim All In Sight.
Meantime, comforting dispatches are sent
forth from both headquarters, claiming all
in Eight, and thus stands the political situ
ation at present The following circular
was to-day issued from Republican na
tional headquarters:
There liave come to the Republican Na
tional Committee, from various sources, in
timations that tliereserve crop of campaign
lies for issuance -the Uay before election is
very proline, and unusually sensational ai
tlcles are to be published, pre-enting- what
puTports ta b facts from all We-tern States,
lor publication in the East, and the reverse
for publication in the West, when too lato
to be contradicted, that shall have the In
tended effect at the last moment of influ
encing the larce number ot men who are al
ways willing and anxious to be on the win
ning side. They are to claim everything in
the East and ive over the West bodily to
the Wea er electoral vote.
What the Scheme I Thought to Be.
Carefully piepareo tablets will bo pub
lishcdthat shall prove their assertions and
demonstrate that the election of Cleveland
is beyond a quetion. republicans all over
the land should be prepared lor just this
line of action: they should discredit all
claims not based on sure information, and
the more sensational the story the more it
should ho discredited. The Insh-Ameri-ican
v ote is to liavo their careful considera
tion, and loorbacks of the most sensational
character are to he published. The sentl
ment of the race is to be worked for all it is
worth, and several Irish-Americans who are
as firmly Republican as the bead of the
ticket, will be quoted as having at the last
moment turned to the apostle of English In
terests and deserting protection and honest
money for the false gods of free trade and a
wildcat currency.
Be on your guard. Believe only that which
Is consonant with common sense, or accom
panied by unimpeachable testimony, and
do not change the conviction that has come
by honest thought, bnt vote as your con
science dictates and as you believe to bo
light. Ton have the assurance of this com
mittee, based upon confidential and reliable
information all over the country, that the
nominees of the Republican party will be
elected by a constitutional majority that
shall be beyond all question.
A Democratic Address Issued.
From Democratic headquarters, this aft
ernoon, was issued an address to the people
signed by William r. Harrity and Don M.
Dickinson, the respective Chairmen oi the
National and Campaign Democratic Com
mittees. In it they touch upon the tariff,
the growth of monopoly under Republican
rule, the condition of the laboring classes,
the danger that threatens the Nation if
the present form of Government continues,
the high character and public services of
Cleveland, the frauds of the past in some of
the States and the oppression of the farmer,
and finally some words upon "that oppres
sive and iniquitous measure fostered and
born under Republican rule," the force
bill, closing by an appeal to the people to
labor without ceasing for Cleveland, Stev
enson and good Government nnder a Demo
cratic administration. The address con
cludes as follows:
On the day or election lay aside all duties
except the duties of the day. Protect your
respective polls against bribery, fraud or
intimidation. No badge of authority can
empower any man tointerlere with the law
lul casting of your rightful ballots. There
is behind each one of yona force of public
opinion and a power of actual law which
will assuredly hold to strict account the men
r. ho are now endeavoring to dereat the fair
expression of your wilt The right is with
us, and we aro certain or victory. Make it
nn overwhelming tiiumph.
Chairman Carter to-day would say noth
ing regarding the instructions of Chairman
Sheehan to the local subordinates and the
powers and duties of United States mar
shals at the polls on election day, except
that as he understood the controversy it was
between the United States Government and
Mr. Sheehan, and that he considered the
former amply able to take care of itself and
perform its lull obligations to the people.
Business Men All for Harrison.
J. Frank Supplee, of Baltimore, who has
been speaking here and in Brooklyn, said
at Republican headquarters to-dar that he
bad never seen in 20 years' experience such
general interest taken in a Presidents! cam
paign. Bankers, insurance men, wholesale
dealers of all classes and business men
CAMPAIGN WORK,
generally were strongly for Harrison, and
the same feeling extended to importers,
who are now satisfied that the "McKinley
bill, contrary to their expectations, has in
creased their business.
The Irish-American voters of the Twenty
ninth district are a little stirred up over the
appeal from Tammany for ther votes In
support of Arthur 0. Butts for Assem
bly. Mr. Butts came into prominence in
1885 as the attorney for Mrs. Dudley, who
attempted to assassinate O'Donovan Bossa.
Butts at that time was an obscure conntry
lawyer, and it was deemed very strange
that he should have been summoned for the
defense when so many able men were on
the ground. He claimed to have come in
response to a telegram signed by the Brit
ish Consul General here, but the latter de
nied having sent it and openly charged
Butts with having forged his name for ad
vertising purposes. This was not denied
by Butts. These little things are now re
membered By Irish-American voters, and
the Tammany ticket is liable to suffer in
consequence.
Great Interest Taken by Germans.
Chairman Hahn, of the Republican sneak
ers bureau, stated to-day that never before
have the Germans taken so lively an inter
est in politics. The demand for German
orators has been immense, and all reports
show that the Germans are particularly
solicitous for honest money and against
wildcat banks, and as a result, a large vote
from that people will be cast for Harrison.
Members of the Journeymen Horseshoers'
Union, according to theDemocratic litera
ture to-day, have a direct grievance against
President Harrison because he only keeps
two horses and has them shod at a non
union shop to save, so they claim, ?1 25.
This is contrasted with the policy of Mr.
Cleveland, who kept ten horses and paid
union prices. This fact was brought to the
notice of President Harrison, but be made
no change. International Delegate Conway
asserts that the Republicans "have great
gall after this to ask for the support ot
workingmen," and that every one of the
8,000 votes of the union will be cast against
Harrison and Reid, and that the day tor
fooling the workingmen has past
COUSINS IN A TANGLE.
Chaiiinen Recdcraml Wright nave a Little
Fan With Each Other.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. The Bulletin
this afternoon says:
General Keeder. Chairman of the llepuD
llcan Mate Committee, lost patience to-day.
His oousln, Chairman Wright, of the Demo
cratic State Committee, had aggravated blm
beyond the point of endurance. Both gen
tlemen are from Allcntow n, and are 11 rat
cousins, and while hating each other
cordially" politically, are very close in a
friendly way. As a rainbow chaser Mr.
Wright is a shining light. He claims any
thin;; and everything. lie says Pennsyl
vania will cle a majority lor Cleveland
outside of Philadelphia, and his exuberance
actually carries biui to the extent of claim
ing the State Legislature for the Democrats.
In the course of an interview in the Bulle in
General Reeder claimed 70,000 majority for
Harrison, oi wnicu ne saia S3,uw wouia come

He
also decried that the Legislature would tie
Republican and would re-elect Quay as
United States senator.
This evening Chairman Wright of the
Democratic State Committee, was asked if
hehaiseen the interview, and laughingly
replied: "Oh, yes. I see that General
Keeder accuses me of being sanguine.
Well, I am not at all despondent At
least, I ha e not been scared in this cam
paign to any extent as vet"
"Have vou anything to say as to General
Beeder's figures?"
"Nothing more than this. In my judg
ment he is altogether wrong. Sanguine is
too mild a term to. apply to his boasting.
My conclusions are based on careful re
ports received from various parts of the
State, which lme "been carefully verified.
My correspondents may be wrong, but I am
sure they are honest in their views. As to
the assertion that a Legislature will be
elected to return Quay to the Senate I re
gard that as a challenge to independcut Re
publicans made in reckless dehance of the
moral sentiment which has been so strong
in opposition to Qusy and Quayism."
LOTS OF BETTING TALK,
But Very Little Money Put Up In New York
on the Result.
New Yokk, Nov. 4. SjwiaL Betting
talk monopolized the time of nearly all the
brokers to-day, to the exclusion of every
thing else, but comparatively few bets were
made. Louis Clark bet $5,000 even on
Harrison. The bet was taken by four
Cleveland men, F. Benedict, L. L. Benedict,
E. Tnlcott and A. De Cuppet A conserva
tive estimate placed the amount wazered
to-day on the Stock Exchange at $25,000.
At the. Produce Exchange Mike Dwyer
placed $1,000 on Cleveland's carrying this
State against SGO0. A. P. Downer was re
ported to hold $25,000 tdbet on Harrison.
At the Uofiman House most of the bet
tors were bookmakers, and the fact that
thev looked upon the wagers as samblinir
pure and simple was indicated bv their
readiness to bet either wav, provided they
could get the odds to suit them. J. H.
Veuig, Mike Dwjer's representative, made
a number of brts on Cleveland. He bet
$1,000 against $500 with Emanuel Marks on
the result in this State, and made a
similar-wager with Robert Irvine. He also
bet $50Q even with Levi Burg that Cleve
land would have a plurality of 20,000 in
New York State. Other bets ranged even,
with what odds there were given bv Demo
cratic bettors. Sat Goodwin, xmong other
wagers, offered $1,000 even that the odds
would change to-morrow in favor of Harri
son. A SIXTH? IN PHILADELPHIA
Not Quite So Much Money Put Up Tester
day as Usual.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. The betting
on the election in this city to-day took
something of a slump. The principal bet
made was between Magistrate Ahern
and Teddy Gray, a Gloucester race
track bookmaker, of $5,000 even on
the general result J. T. O'Rourke,
a well-known Democrat, made a bet of
$3,000 at the Hotel Lafayette on Mr.
Cleveland's election. He placed the money
In the hands of Manager Baker, ot the
hotel, who held a similar amount put up
by a Republican who did not wish to have
his name known.
Mr. O'Rourke announced that he had
$10,000 more to bet even in favor of Cleve
land on the general result; $10,000 to $6,000
that New York will eo for Cleveland, and
$10,000 even that New Jersey will give
5,000 majority ior the Cleveland'electors.

TIIET HATE ENOUGH Y0TLS TO ELECT
rEPICIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Indianapolis, Nor. 4. A few weeks
ago only an occasional Republican could be
found who would claim Indiana for Har
rison. To-day the managers say that it is
absolutely safe'for him, giving the reasons
for the confidence that exists. Members of
the Republican Committee sent out the fol
lowing: Fiist The people want honest money.
Second A majority of them believe in a
piotective tariff.
Thlid Inalana has grown into a great
manufacturing State duiing the last four
years, and this new interest is naturally Re
publican. Fourth The tax law passed by the last
Democratic Legislature is expected to help
the Republicans.
Firth It is believed tho People's party
will help the Republicans.
Sixth State pride will cut some figure.
Seventh It is believed that there is still
some disaffection over Gray's defeat at Chi
cago. Eighth The Republicans have a complete
organization, and will be able to get their
lull vote out.
A Discussion of the Reasons.
Taking uj the reasons and discussing
them, one committeeman said that the
"wildcat money" issue would bring many
votes to the Republican ticket The old
men of the State, he said, were universally
opposed to any movement looking to tbe
return to a State bank currency, and they
were talking to the young men with whom
they have any influence on the question of
protection. He believed that 60 per cent of
the voters of the State were in favor of a
protective tariff The new lactones, he
said, were expected to wield a great influ
ence in favor of the Republican ticket
It is estimated by the committee that the
vote in tbe natural gas district has been
increased 30,000 the last four years. Sev
enty per cent, it is estimated, of tbe im
ported voters is in the gas belt, and that
the Republicans will get 70 per cent of it
The poll of the natural gas counties, it is
averred, bears out the claim that the party
is making. It is announced that the poll
of Madison county, always a reliable Dem
ocratic county, shows a Republican plural
ity of over 200. Some of the Republicans
claim this increase in the vote in tbe nat
ural gas district alone ought to make the
State Republican. But they say they, have
other good resources to depend upon. '
Counting on a Big German Vote.
It is said by the party that several thou
sand men will refuse to vote the'Democratic
ticket because of their dissatisfaction with
the tax law enacted by the last Legislature.
This' vote, it is said, will come largely irom
the German population. The Republican
State Convention, when it decided to re
main silent on the temperance question,
had in mind the leaving ot an open way
for the dissatisfied Germans to vote the Re
publican ticket The men who laid the
plan now believe that it was wise, although
they were not entirely sure of their posi
tion when tbe convention met The action
drove from the party some good men, but it
is asserted that where one Republican has
been driven over to the Prohibitionists three
Democrats have come to tbe Republicans
on the tax question.
Tho estimate of tbe People's party com
mittee is that two out ot three ot the new
converts to the party are Democrats. They
say it seems to be more of an accident than
anything else that tbe new party is excep
tionally strong in big Democratic counties.
Allen county is an example. A few weeks
ago there were, by actual count, it is
claimed by the Populists, 1,000 People's
party men in a parade, and the Republic
ans aver that three-lourths of the number
were formerly Democrats. The Republic
ans feel that the Democratic-People's party
vote in Allen county will more than ofiset
the votes the Republicans will "lose on ac
count of the disaffection led by McDonald.
The Republican managers have estimated
that the party will gain as many votes from
the People's party as it will lose on account
of the Prohibitionists who are Republicans
in the ratio of 2 to L,
Tbe Democratic Elde of the Story.
In giving reasons why they will carry the
State by a plurality of 10,000 the Democrats
are even more boastful than the Republic
ans. The reasons follow:
First We have the votes.
Second The new election law will help
the Democrats.
Third Republican disaffection will throw
many votes to the Democrats.
Fourth The majority of the people of In
diana are in favor of tariff roforin.
Fifth Judge Gresham and many other
Republicans of prominence who have. an
nounced that they will support Cleveland
will have a great influence on the indepen
dent young men of the State.
Sixth The miners of the State are prac
tically all for the Democratic ticket.
Seventh Tbe great Increase in population
in Lake county will hell the Democrats.
Eighth The Democrats were never so well
organized and so well prepaie'd to get out
their votes and contend against Republican
frauds.
Tbe first reason the Democrats assign is
the one that is used on all occasions. In
answer to all inquiries the managers of tbe
party express the belief that the State ;s
Democratic by 15,000, and that all that re
mains to be done this year is to get out the
vote. It is cited that lour years ago, Harri
son, with all the help of State pride, was
able to carry the State by only 2,348, and
that two years ago the Democrats carried
the State by nearly 20,000. They say there
are no desertions from the Democratic
party, while there are manv from the Re
publican party. The new ballot law, they
believe, will help the Democrats.
Accusations of Boodle in the Mate.
The leaders of tbe party express the belief
that the State was bought ior Harrison four
vears aeo, and they do not believe that can
be done again under the new law. They
also believe thenew law will help the
Democrats by giving employes an oppor
tunity to vote their sentiments a thing, it
is claimed, they have never been able to do
in some parts of Indiana.
The men who do the talking at Demo
cratlo headquarters can cite a large number
of men who have left the Republican party
this year or voted for Harrison before and
have announced that they will vote for
Cleveland this year. They begin with
Judge Gresham, who is counted as an
Indianan, Snd then name D. P. Baldwin,
of Logans port; John Overmeyer, of North
Vernon: D. E. Williamson, of Green
Castle; William Dudley Foulke, of Rioh
monn; Lucius B. Bwriit, and many others,
I all prominent in their respective localities.
I Thev believe tbe
Ther believe the Henublican disaffection
it Ft, Wftyae will loio that party 1,000
votes in Allen county, and they exhibit a
letter from BT. McDonald in proof of
their assertion. McDonald was on the
Republican State Committee and resigned
because of his aversion to Harrison. He is
very wealthy and rery influential.
The party is connting ou an increased
vote in the mining counties. They believe
this will almost offset the inorease the Re
publicans mar have in the natural gas dis
trict There 'are between 6,000 and 8,000
voting miners in the State, and the Demo
crats believe thev -will get the vote almost
solid. Four years ago many of the miners
voted for Harrison.
Banking on Chicago Immigration.
It is claimed that the dew population of
Lake county, mainly in the towns of Ham
mond and Whiting, is Democratic. The
voters who have located there are nearly all
from Chicago. The State Committee be
lieves that the party will gain at least 1,000
votes in the northwest counties, on account
of tbe immigration from Chicago.
Tbe Democrats, too, lay streu on their
eighth reason for hope. It is claimed for
Chairman Taggart that no former chairman
had the State so thoroughly organized and
was so well equipped for getting out every
vote tne party has.
The Democrats do not believe the Peo
ple's party will hurt them any worse than
it will hurt the Republicans. The Repub
lican managers admit that the State pride
question will not cut as great a figure as it
did four years ago, but they express the be
lief that it will bring the Republicans some
vote& Thev believe that there are Demo
crats in Indianapolis, a there iwere four
years ago, who will vote for Harrison be
cause they knew him as a friend and neigh
bor. Not much stress is now placed on the
Gray disaffection, but there are few of the
ex-Governor's friends, it is claimed, who
have not been brought into line.
The eighth reason the Republicans give
they regard as one of their best ones. The
managers say the party never had a, com
plete organization in tbe State, and that
better work was never done than has been
done the last three weeks. The organiza
tion for getting out the vote is said to
reach into every precinct in the 8tate.
Many of the deputy marshals being sworn
in here are a bad 'lot, while some are re
spectable citizens.
The betting continues In favor of Cleve
land carrying the State. Democrats say it
is almost impossible to get even bets on In
diana. t3r"The Dispatch trill contain the most com
prehensive reports of the Election on Wednesday
morning. Order in advan-e.
MERCIER GOES FREE.
The Ex-Premier of Quebec Acquitted
of
Defrauding the Province.
Quebec, Nov. 4. "Down with Angers,"
"Down with the provisional executioners,"
"Hurrah for Mercier," were the yells that
went up from a crowd of 3,000 men in front
of the Court oi Justice here to-day. And
as the crond yelled, four sturdy fellows
bearing ex-Premier Mercier on their shoul
ders appeared at the Court House door.
"Non coupable," roared one of tbe four,
while his three companions cried, "Not
guilty." That was the verdict rendered by
tbe jury in the case against ex-Premier
Mercier, charged with trying to defraud
the Province out of 560,000. In his charge
to the jury, the Judge said:
No Minister can perform an act like tho
one before us without the consent of his col
leagues, nor can & Minister perform suoh an
act without the consent of tho representa
tive or the Qneen in the person oi the Lieu
tenant Governor. There la no possibility of
there having been any conspiracy to de
fraud tue province of $t0,00U. As for tbe
other accusation, we all know Pacand cot

sonal use or for electicn pnroOse. tfoes not
matter; tbe offense is;the samel What you
have to decide- now la whether or not there
was a combination between Mercier and
Facaud to detrand the Calsse d' Economic.
AN ASSASSINATION PLOT.
Startling Developments in the Case of the
Mnrder of .Detective Carey.
New York, Nov. 4. The killing of Cen
tral Office Detective John J. Carey by the
"crook," James D. Bianchett, bids fair to
be sensational. Detectives have received
information that there was a conspiracy to
assassinate Carey, and that Bianchett and
another member of the gang were tolled oil
to do the work. There is a belief that
Bianchett has made a -confession revealing
the whole conspiracy.
Acting upon the information which they
received, detectives to-night procured a
posse of five policemen and went to an
apartment house on West Fortieth street.
The party proceeded to the flat said to be
occupied by a woman named Edwards,
which they broke into. Ten men said to be
professional thieves were found in the
rooms and placed under arrest. They are
said to have been concerned in the plot to
murder Carey. The prisoners were taken
to police headquarters, where they were
locked up nith the greatest secrecy.

A CLASn EXPECTED NEXT TDESDAY
New York, Nov. 4. The members of
the Democratic National Committee, who
were at headquarters to-day, fear trouble at
tbe polls if the marshals carry . out the
United States laws this year as they have
in the past. The National Committee ap
proves the action of the State Committee in
advising citizens to arrest marshals who at
tempt to enforce those parts of the United
States statutes which conflict with the State
laws. It is stated by the Eienlng Pott that
Chairman Harrity, of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, will issue a manifesto on
this subject before election day.
At Republican national and State head
quarters it was said to-day that tbe mar
shals would certainly go within the rails at
the polls, and that no authority. State or
city had any right to prevent them from
doing so. At the Democratic headquarters
it was said that Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan's instructions would certainly be
carried out and the marshals would be
arrested if they went within tbe rails.
Sheriff J. J. Gorman has begun the work of
swearing in a corps of special deputies in
case of emergencies.
Trouble Courted hy Sheehan.
"I have received no official communica
tions," said Mr. Gorman to-day, "but
from what I have read I believe that tbe
situation warrants me in making prepara
tions to maintain the public peace. ,1 am
responsible to the State for the peace ot
this county, and I will see to it that the
peace is preserved. The police will be on
special duty, and, I therefore think that
more deputies are "needed."
Chairman Carter was asked his opinion of
the situation as it stands with regard to
Chairman Sheehan's instrnctions to his
local subordinates concerning the relations
ot Federal and State officers at the polls.
Mr. Carter replied that he had nothing to
say other than that he understood the con
troversy to be between Mr. Sheehan and
the United States Government, and he
apprehended the Government was abund
antly able to take care of itself and to
perform its obligations to tbe people in
full.
Charles "W. Hackett, Chairman of the
State Executive Committee, said: "If
policemen attempt to interfere with the
United State's marshals, whose- duties, as
clearly defined'under the law, are to see that
the voting is' fair and honest, there will be
trouble."
Over in Brooklyn, according to the au
thorities, the inadequacy of the Brooklyn
police force to properly patrol the city and
to do duty at the polling places on election
day has necessitated the appointment of 610
"special" officers by Commissioner Hayden.
The "specials," who will be paid ?2 50 per
day, are composed principally of men who
are recommended by their respective ward
associations. There are also a few unem
ployed Union war veterans among the
"specials."
Supervisors Can Go Where They Please.
Edward Mitchell, attornev for the South
ern district of New York, has written a
letter to the Urftted State Marshal and In
spector of Elections, anent Mr. Sheehan's
instructions, in which he recites the law as
contained in tbe Revised Statutes,and con
tinues: i
Will you kindly Instruct each Supervisor
of Election and deputy marshal that when
ever there is any conflict between the law
of the United States and the law of the
State, tbe law of the United States is para
mount. You will also please inform all such
Supervisors of Election and deputy mar
shals that the United States intends to carry
out the provisions of seotlon 2019 ol tbe
United States Revised Statutes, and to see
that every Supervisor of Eleotion and every
deputy marshal, if requested to suppoit
him by such Supervisor of Election, shall
be allowed to take any position behind the
euaid rail he sees Jflt on election day, and
that any person interfering with them In
any way while they are in the performance
ot their duty behind tbe cuard rail in any
polllnz plaoe on election day. can at once be
arrested without process under section 1523,
United States Revised Statutes. I would
suggest that n copy of this letter be
furnished to eaoh Supervisor or Election
and deputy marshal.
The committee of Democratic lawyers
last night appointed at a meeting of Tam
many leaders to look after the interests of
Democrats arrested bv Federal officers be
fore and on election day, have sent a com
munication to Supervisor John E. Daven
port The gist of the lett er is in this para
graph:
As vou can lust as well execute voui- war
rants for Illegal registration now as on elec
tion day, we have to roqueat that you will
lortb with issue and execute any warrants
you may intend to for illegal registration in
order that the eleotor, if entitled to his dis
charge, shall receive the same in time to
cast his vote.
The Democratic Order Is Revolutionary.
Charles H. Dennison, Chief Supervisor
of Elections for the Northern district of
New York, has issued final instructions to
Supervisors of Elections appointed to serve
at the election November 8, of which the
following is a part:
The extraordinary pronunciamento is
sued by Mr.Wm. F.Sheehan.Chairmun of the
Democratic State Campaign Committee, di
recting Democrats to prevent Supervisors
of Elections and United States niarsnals
from performing any of their duties inside
the guard rail on election day, is revolu
tionary. Frequent convictions havo been had in
tbe Federal courts or persons who com
mitted offenses of the same nature as those
now advised by Mr. bheehan. In view of
these convictions it seems hardly poxslblo
that any sane person will attempt to follow
Mr. Sheehan's orileis, but fearing such at
tempts maybe made, I again instruct Super
visois of Elections that they are to go
inside tho gu.nd mil on election day, and
lemaln there, before or behind the ballot
holes', as they may deem beit, until the
voting Is done, tho votes canvafssd, letnrns
made and tbe Uoaidol Inspectois of Elec
tions aajourns.
The supervisors are to perform the duties
required of them, and particularly to follow
the directions which require thorn "to per
sonally sciutinize, count and canvass each
ballot in the election district or voting
precinct cast.

State and Federal Officials Threaten to
Come Together.
Montgomery, Ala., Not. 4. The ap
pointment of United States Marshal Walker
and the subsequent telegram of General
Shelly, Chairman ot the Democratic Cam
paign Committee, to the Chairman of the
Dallas County Committee to arrest the
deputies should they come within 30 feet of
tbe polls have caused some arnrehensions
that there will be a conflict between the
State and Federal authorities on election
day.
General Shelly Is determined on the one
hand to make the State law paramount in
the management of this election, and Mar
shal Walker on the other is equally firm
and determined that the United States
statutes shall control.

the arrest of A. W. Shefler, Chief Super
visor of Elections for this district, basbeen
issued, having been secured by B. G. Beid,
Register of Elections, who was arretted by
Sheffer. This is done iu conformity with
the opinion of tbe State Attorney General
that the arrest was illegal. The matter will
probably lead to a conflict in the courts as
to tbe Federal and State Jurisdiction.
The case will go before a State court.
Feeling against Shefler runs high. The
State will assert its rights in whatjiromises
to be a notable case.

Every Xabor Union bnt Two In If ew Orleans
Will Stop Work.
Ne'SV Oeleans, Nov. 4. The Amal
gamated Council has ordered a general
strike. Tbe G3 unions consented to go out,
in the first instance, because of the em
ployers' refusal to recognize unionism.
Since then the merchants have conferred
with them, recognizing them as unions.
There are members ot the Amalgamated
Council who urged that the recognition of
the merchants was a subterfuge, and the
failure to arbitrate was really ;a denial of
tbe union principle.
The Council has in fact based its call for
a general strike upon the failure to recog
nize unionism, Dut the Typographical union
and other of the older and stronger bodies
take a different view of the situation. The
Typographical Union met to-day, and re
fused to go out. The car drivers have also
reiused.

and Exhaustive Charge
to the Jury.

He Said, in Order to Convict the

If the Jury Believes Certain Things
The Jury Shows Signs of Disagree
ment and Is Still Out.
The Jury has the Iamsxcase, and will
bring in their verdict, if they find one, this
morning, "hey left the box at 2 o'clock,
and the court adjourned till 2:30, when
no sign coming from the jury room, Judge
Porter directed another adjournment till 4
o'clock. At that time the jury filed into
court. They looked disturbed in spirit,
and it was apparent that they had come to
no decision.
Judge Porter informed them that he had
sent for them merely for tbe purpose of
giving them a chance to set a time, if they
so desired, for him to meet them in the
evening to receive their verdict. He was
also ready to explain any part of his charge
which they might not have understood. Ha
was particular to impress upon them that
he did not desire them to give the Court or
anyone else an inkling of how they stood in
regard to a verdict.
The foreman of the jury, after making
Judge Porter repeat his remarks, said that
he did not think it would be possible to
name an hour to meet tbe Court, and that
the jury would like to be permitted to
bring in a sealed verdict
Were Not Near an Agreement.
The next juror to the foreman and a stout
jnror seated in the second row chimed in
with the remark that they certainly could
not set an hour for reaching a verdict. To
avoid further revelations of the evident
disagreement in the jury box, Judge Por
ter dismissed the jury with the injunction
to hand in a sealed verdict this morning
should they agree upon one.
The courtroom was crowded when the
eighth dav of the trial began. There were
a number of ladies present, all the prom
inent lawyers who could get in, and a large
crowd of a decidedly mixed character cut
side the railing. The Homestead delega
tion, including Mr. Brennen, tbe attorney
of the strikers, was a prominent element.
It was an intensely interested audience,
but the memory of Judge Porter's stern re
pression of the outburst the other day kept
it from being demonstrative.
The day's battle began with a pretty loud
discharge of tbe defendants' legal battery,
touched off by Senator Bobbins. Mr.
Bobbins made a strong plea for Colonel
Hawkins, and the roast he gave the prose
cutor, lams, was artistic as well as telling.
Frank P. lams made the concluding speech
for the prosecution. His analysis of the
evidence in Private lams' favor betokened
great care, and he made the most of all the
available points. He did not spare the de
fendants nor their witnesses, ana the effect
of the eloquent peroration may be apparent
yet in the verdict
. Judge Porter's Charge to the Jury.
At 11:30 Judge Porter began his charge.
It was delivered in sharp, incisive style,
which made the Judge such a powerful
advocate in days gone by. The disposal of
the points offered by the defense hardly pre
pred the audience for what followed. But
it did not take long for everyone to gather
that the charge proper was dead against
Private lams. Many of the points ruled
upon bv tbe Court in the preface were mora
broadly discussed in the charge. The Court
instructed the jnry, as desired, that under
all the evidence in the case the verdict of
the jnry as to Surgeon W. S. Grimm must
be not guilty.
As to tbe other defendants, the specially
important points approved were these: That
the verdict should be not guilty it it were
shown that defendants were not malicious
or revengeful in their actions, even if they
served in judgment, and that they obeyed
General Snowden as to drumming lams out
of camp, etc Tbe instruction of the Court
in favor of Colonel Hawkins was stronger
still, to wit: that under all tbe evidence
the verdict as to Colonel Hawkins must
be not cuilty, unless tbe jury found
from the evidence beyond a reasonable
doubt, that he aided, abetted or encouraged
the punishment of the prosecutor," and that
he was influenced by malice or disposition
to oppress. A number of other points,
about one-half of those submitted, were re
fused, chieflv.on account of form rather
than matter.
Dennlnc the Offenses Charged.
Judge Porter began his charge with a
definition of the offenses charged and the
discretion of tbe jury in dealing with the
matter of costs, and instructed the iury not
to consider the second count of indictment
No. C62, which charged unlawfully cutting
and wounding. After an hour's recess
Judge Porter resumed his charge at 1
o'clock, in the following language:
Having Instructed you upon the general
principles applicable to the Indictments is
becomes necessary to direct your attention
to a numberoflmportantquestlons growing
out of thepeenliar circumstances and sur
roundings of the parties by whom these of
fnnnfn are aliased to have been committed.
Tbe Governor of the Commonwealth, acting
within the powers conferred upon him by
the laws of the State, had called tbe National
Ouard of the Commonwealth Into aotlve
service. His Judgment upon the necessity
for tbe assembling of the Guard was final
and conclusive. The defendants were of
ficers of tbe troops assembled by the Gov
ernor, and the proseontor was an enlisted
man. It waa the duty of the defendants, as
well as the prosecutor, to obey the orders of
the Governor, who Is Commander In Chief
of the National Guard.
Not Subject to Ordinary Rules.
The defendants being officers, and the
prosecutor an enlisted man under their com
mand, this relation gives rise to certain
duties, obligations and powers not involved
in cases of ordinary oltiiens, and It must be
considered by tbe Jnry in determining the
guilt or Innocence of the defendats. Where
a military force Is In aotlve service in an
enemy's country, or repelling Invasion or
quelling insurrections or putting down
riots, in tbe very nature of affairs tbe asso
