f ErrCIAL TKLEGRAV TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, Nov. C General James S.
Clarkson, of the Bepublican National Com
mittee, has prepared exclusively lor The
Dispatch the following review of the
campaign just ending:
I believe the Republicans will win next
Tuesday, and I give my reasons for it.
Nearly all the surface indications promise
it, and all the under currents confirm it.
First There is neither need for a change,
nor is there anywhere even an apparent de
mand for a change. The business world is
prosperous, and the whole country in pro
found peace. With general prosperity,
with business adjusted to existing condi
tions, with the universal Democratic ad
mission of the spotless record of
!the wise and faithful administration
of President Harrison, there is no
wonder that there is no excitement in poli
tics and no storms in the campaign. It
means that the American people are satis
fied, and hare decided to let well enough
alone. Factory, store, shop, iarm, mine,
laborer and all arc enjoying the maximum
of prosperity in the history oi the country.
Every factory is busy, every merchant
prosperous, labor is fully employed and
lairly paid, and the working people have
51,500,000,000 of deposits in the tarings
banks of the land.
A Distinct Battle Lino Drawn.
Second In this satisfactory condition of
the country the great political parties notn
nated their tickets and declared their
principles. The .Republican party ap
proved of the condition of universal pros
perity, and proclaimed continued adhesion
to the principles under which such condi
tion was established, and its candidates, its
press and its members have all steadily
supported these plain and positive declara
tions ever since.
nThird The Democratic party made a
platform which in every plank quarrels
with this condition of universal prosperity,
and nominated as candidates two men
wnose whole political lives and records
have been in anrepentedopposition to the
principles which have made such prosper
ity in America possible. It did this in
June, but rinding the people amazed at its
stupidity it has spent its whole tjme since
trying to repudiate its own formal declara
tions then. Indeed, it based all its hopes
lor success next Tuesday on the ability ot
its candidates, its press and its speakers to
make tne American people believe that the
declaration of its platform last June for
iree trade and cheap labor does not mean
that and that its equally plain declara
tion for skin-plaster currency was not sin
cerely made.
Democracy Already Repudiated.
On the surface, therefore, the Democratic
party is repudiated by the American peo
ple as a people, by the people of a nation
too intelligent to want free trade and
pauperized labor and too honest to accept
polluted money.
Under the surface many unseen streams
are flowing toward the Republicau party.
Indeed, the drift of secret votes, now made
so easy tinder the Australian ballot, will,
in my judgment, decide this contest There
are twice as many close or contested States
this year as ever before. A brief analysis ot
the drift of secret votes in the disputed
States will demonstrate the strength of the
Republican prospects for success In the
East nearly all this drift is toward the Re
publican partv. Everyone of the hundreds
of thousands of Democrats who do not be
lieve in free trade finds his Democracy
shaken now, and many thousands of such
men will secretly vote the Republican
ticket in order to vote lor protection.
All Business Is Now Prosperous.
All business interests now enjoying pros
perity, and now adjusted to tbe JIcKinley
law, dread the perils of a change nnd the
unsettlement of trade, and many Demo
crats among such people will secretly vote
the Republican ticket in order to protect
their own interests and let well enough
alone.
The Democrats who also believe in honest
banking and sound money, and who know
the perils and wrongs of irresponsible
banking and more irresponsible currency,
will, many of them, secretly vote the Re
publican ti:ket in ordes to let good enough
money alone. German-American: are
especially sensitive on these issues, and
the Democratic party will sustain severe
losses from that element on this account.
Many Democrats who believe in Cleve
land personally, but who know that no man
can rise as master above his party as Presi
dent, and many other Democrats who like
Cleveland but fear Stevenson, will secretly
vote for the Republican ticket and the pre
vailing general prosperity and safety.
Many manufacturers who do not want free
trade in America and American goods
manufactured in Europe will secretly rote
to keep their own factories open and their
own prosperity continued. Vast numbers
of Democratic workingmen in factories, who
see for themselves that the Democratic
platform means iree trade, and that lree
trade means European wages for them, will
vote for the Republican ticket and the per
petuation of their own wages.
Union soldiers Can't Be Democrats.
More than all, in the East and all over
the North, legions of Union soldiers, now
Democrats, but not able to vote for candi
dates ho were drawn as conscripts and
represented in the armv by substitutes
against a gallant soldier, will secretly vote
lor Comrade Harrison.
A still mightier reinforcement will come
to the Republican party direct, as a suffi
cient relief corps in each imperiled State in
the North. These are the 300,000 or more
of the sons and other young kinsmen of
Union soldiers who will this year cast
their first vote for President. There are
enough of these new Republican voters of
themselves to give a Republican majority
in New York and every close Northern
State.
In the East and all over the' North, too,
there Is a steady public and secret drift of
CHAIRMAN JAMES 3. CLARKSON.
Irish-Americans toward the Republican
party, and indeed, of all the elements of
foreign birth, especially among the people
speaking the Polak language.
Americanism Sore to Be Upheld.
There is also a mighty reinforcement to
the Republican party because of its pro
nounced position of Americanism and Its
defense ot American interests, American
right! and American manhood.
In the TV est all tbe drifts that I have men
tioned aie not so certainly and aggressively
in motion. But tbe West, wbioh is a crea
tion of tho Republican party, which has
been transformed from wild land into great
States and prospeious cities under Republi
can policies, will not depart fiom its Re
publlcan moorings now. The Union soldiers
who have in past years pone off to the Alli
ance because of debts and hard times, nnd
some of whom are allured by talk of inflated
money, are still tne most intense of
Americana, and will resent, first or
all, the proposition of tho Democratic
party to Europeanlze the United States
in regard to manulacturing and labor.
Tbe 80,000 Union soldieis in Kansas who
have gone there and lound homesteads
under tbe Republican law know the difler
enoe between Comrade Harrison and Con
script Cleveland. 80 do the 60,000 Union
soldiers in Nebraska, and tbe 65,000 In Iowa,
and so do the'Unloii soldiers who make up a
majority of the voters in both of the Dako
tas. Besides, such of these veterans as have
gone off to the Alliance see in the South the
Alliance party used to protect the Demo
cratic party, and plainly see In the treat
ment of General Weaver in the South what
It all means.
A Sturdy Spirit In the Northwest.
In the Northwestern States, too, in the
most of which the manuiactured products
now half equal in valuethe farm products,
there is a sturdy spirit of defense of protec
tion and for American wages, as in the East,
and tbe farmers themselves foim the
strongest part of tho line. In the whole
West, in Indiana and clear to the Pacific
coast, tbe Republican party will And the
Union soldiers ana their sons and other
young kinsmen coming forward to vote
against electing conscripts and in favor of
electing comrades. In the mountain and
Pacific states the protection sentiment is as
strong as anyw here in the Union, with man
ufacturers and farmers and fruit growers
and miners and all, and especially with
laborers who do not want tho products of
their bands brought Into competition with
goods brought from China and Japan, made
uy laborers getting Horn 7 to 20 cents a day.
Even the silver people will remember that
all tbe fuendly legislation which their white
metal bas ever bad has come from a Repub
lican Congress and a Republican President:
while to the lead, coal, iron, copper and
other miners, protection is tbe root of their
bouse, tbe dividends of their companles.and
tbe wages of their workingmen.
Seasons for the Faith in Him.
For these and many other reasons I be
lieve that we shall win next Tuesday.
First We have an honest and actual
majority of the voters in every Northern
State to-day, wltn possibly one exception.
Second We bavo a clean Republican ma
jority in West Virginia, and -iu West Vir
ginia tuts year we nave a chance lor a lair
count.
Third The drift of conservative and pro
tection Democrat generally, of protec
tionists among Democratic workingmen,
among Democratic businessmen every
where, will provide for us a protection and
honest money majority by way of a second
majority to our o n actual strength.

Thus we have 211 certain Republican votes
out of the necessary 223, counting New York,
Indiana. Connecticut, Nevada, West Vir
ginia and Delaware, or C9 votes, as doubtful.
For the sale or strength I put Indiana,
w hich can be taken from us only by fraud,
and New York, which the Democrats will
have to steal between now and Tuesday
night If they get it at all, as doubtful. Of
these 69 doubtful votes wo bave only 12 to
stain to win, while tbe Democrats must gain
59. Indiana alone added to the 211 1 ill give

West Virginia will give us Just enonsrh, and

on the general result. Tbe odds given on
New York and Indiana by the Democrats
are given to cover premeditated fiauds In
the two States. But v. e have the votes for a
majority and public sentiment both with us.
Republicans everywhere reconize tbe crisis
and will boon duty Horn now until elec

a fair count if pluck and louiae can gain
them.

POPULHES ARE H0PEFDL.
They Expect to Bold the Balance of Power
All Around No More Confident of the
Electoral College Than They Are of the
Senate and the House.
"Washington, Nov. 6. Special
About the only "official" politician of any
of the parties in town to-day is J. H. Turner,
National Secretary of the People's party.
He is fresh from the West, on his way to
the South, where he is fighting a battle for
Congress lor his friend Hollis against Mr.
Moses, for a seat in Congress from the
Fourth Georgia district.
Mr. Turner is full of glowing accounts of
what the party is going to do next Tuesday,
and will not take away one J ot or tittle of the
claims made by Editor Dunning, of this
city, and published In .Tee Dispatch a day
or two ago. He feels certain that his party
will capture tbe electoral votes of Alabama,
Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota,
Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming,
Idaho and Montana and part of Minnesota,
thus gaining the balance of power In tbe
Electoral College, and that the party will
bave from 60 to 70 scats in tbe House of Rep
resentatives of the Fifty-third Congress, and
a force of seven or eight members In the
Senate, thus gaining tbe balance of power in
both Houses of Congress, ir marvelous
hopefulness could win, the People's party
would certainly get all It counts upon.
One of the odd things that is talked of in
connection with the remote contingency of
the People's party winning the balance ot
power In tbe Electoral College is the taking
up of anew candidate and dropping both
Harrison and Cleveland. Of course it is well
understood that the. Electoral College bas
absolute control of the election of President
and Vice President If it choose to exercise
that power. Thus, if there he no election at
the polls, the Electoral College can still
agree to an election, provided a majority
can be got to support candidates for Presi
dent and Vice Piesident. It is suggested
that the electors of the People's party.sbould
thev hold the balance of power, while they
might not be disposed to throw their
strength to Mr. Harrison, who favols a force
bill, might be induced to vote for Mr.
Blaine, who is opposed to a forco bill, pio
vided tbe Republicans would agree to throw
their votes the same way in a body. This
would enable the electors of the People's
party to avoid a direct support of the Re
publican candidates, and at the same time
prevent the election of Mr. Cleveland, whom
they bate as tbe candidate of the Demo
crats, by tbe submission of the election to
tbe House of Representatives.
Of course this is mere speculation among
some of the Republicans wbo at tbe same
time have no other Idea than that Mr. Har
rison will be elected by a clear majority of
the electors at the polls next Tuesday. It is
one of the many grotesque bits or gossip
which are given lor what they are woi tb.
A CHAIRMAN CALLED DOWN.
He Is Accused of Violation of the Civil
Service Bales.
Washington, Nov. 6 The Civil Service
Commission has sent to the Attorney Gen
eral copies of a circular sent to C. K.
Eetcham, the postmaster at Ditney, Ind.,
and of a letter written by this postmaster
to the editor of the Xi'on-Conformut. "It ap
pears from tbis circular," says tbe commis
sion in its letter to the Attorney General,
"that John Gowdy, Chairman of the Indiana
Republican State Committee, has sent a let
ter to Mr. -Eetcham, this letter being ad
dressed to him as the postmaster at Ditney.
In tbis letter a request for funds is
made to secure Republican success,
the letter stating in one place that
legitimate expenses must be met, and in
another, the 'success of the tieket Is in
volved, as well as the cleasant conditions
about you.' It wonld certainly appear that
in addressing the letter to C IC Ketcham, as
postmaster at Ditney, Mr. Gowdy has been
guilty or soliciting him in a Government
building. Tbe papers are also turned over
to your office for such action as you may
deem wise."
Following are the passages In Mr. Gowdy's
letter upon which the commission has not
moved: "No good Republican or other per
son desiring to continue the present favor
able conditions can afford to be indifferent."
"Legitimate expenses must be met. The
success of the ticket is involved, as well as
the pleasant conditions about you.
We confidently expect you to give generous,
assistance."

"We have conservative estimates from

After careful consideration we have decided
not to give any of tbe estimates from the

in their line and lnduoe them to make a last
effort to strengthen them. For this reason,
too, we prefer to say no more about the

Tbe elements of uncertalntv In the
election aie tbe People's and Prohioltlon

THE COUNTRY'S WELFARE
Dependent Upon the Support of the
Candidates and Platform of
THE P1RTY THAT HAS FOSTERED IT
Ko Suppart From Abroad Courted by the
Protectionists.
A SAFE CUEREXCY MUST BE IXSTJRED
New York, Nov. ft The Republican
National Committee issues the following
address to the voters of the country:
To-morrow you will be called upon to de
termine by your votes the most important
questions fairly and squarely presented to
the country since 1861. You aro to decide
between the policy of progress and the
policy of leactlon lu this country. You are
to say whether or not tariff schedules are to
be so adjusted as to furnish protection to
the labor and productions of the country,
while raising revenue to sustain the Gov
ernment, or whether such adjustment Is in
admissible because unconstitutional. You
aro to decide between the policy of protec
tion and free trade.
The party platforms leave no doubt as to
the position of the respective paities on the
taiiff question. The Republican platform
favors protection to American labor and
American products. Tbe Democratio plat
form declares such policy unconstitutional,
and therefore commits the Democracy of
the nation to the British policy of free trade.
You are to pronounce for or against the re
liable, stable, financial structure built by
the fathers and founders of the Republican
party. You are to say whether this sound
policy is to be oontinued or abandoned in
lavor of the Democratic scheme for the
resurrection of State banks and wildcat cur
rency. Votes to Settle the Country's Future.
By your votes you must say that you do
or do not desire to dlstuib the present pros
perity of the country by Involving our com
merce, our manufacturing, our agriculture,
our mining and our finances in doubt and
uncertainty for an indefinite period of
time.
The re-election of President Harrison will
Insure a continuance of the splendid policy
under which the nation has prospeiedin
every branch of Industrial life. His re elec
tli n will Insure a continuunce of confidence
in tho policy of the Government, and will
eliminate, all questions or doubt lis to the
course to be puisuedwlth reference to Im
portant government operations in the fut
uie. The election of Mr. Cleveland would,
on the contrary, bring business to a stand
still, involve every operation in doubt and
raise questions as to tbe effect unknown
legislation might have on the economic and
financial policy ot the Government. We
confidently submit to tbe conutry tbat no
cause exists for a change, and that abun
dant leasons will occur to the mind of every
loyal oltizen in favor of a continuance of
Republican policy and Republican adminis
tration. The committee has conducted the cam
paign on tbe Issues presented by the respec
tive narties. Our oDUOnents bave been
driven to the necessity of saying tbat their-J
should be trusted not to execute Its declara
tions. They would have the country be
lieve that, true to their candidate, tbey can
procure tariff lefdrm, while the party in
convention assembled declared itself abso
lutely in favor of fiee tiade. The Demo
cratic managers would have the country be
lieve that their nominee can be safely
trusted to violate the pledges of tne party
in favor of tbe resunectlon of State banks.
Democracy's Candidate Above His Party.
In short, the Democracy of the country
has abdicated in favor of its candidate, and
the management hopes to win in this elec
tion by insisting that the party does not
suppoit its platform, but relies upon its
candidate to violate the platform thus
hanging the prosperity of the country on
the slender thread of a single human lfie.
Our candidate and tbe party he represents
are each In complete harmony with the
other, and both candidate and party stand
n harmony with the best interests of tbe
Republic. We dodze no issne: we do not ask
our candidate to aid us in catching votes by
promising to violate or to refnse to execute
any principle of the party as anounced in
its national platform
It Is gratifying to announce that the pa
triotic press of the country has, to an un
precedented extent supported our candi
date and our platform duiiog the campaign.
Neither our campaign nor our cause bas
Eroven popular in England or continental
urope. The Democratic platform has met
with universal applause in every country
seeking to rival us in the commercial
world. Not a single newspaper in England
or in the continent of Europe has spolien a
kindly word for General Harrison or tbe
Republican party In this campaign.
ho Foreign Support Courted.
Our party does not Justify support from
abroad, nor have we courted favor from the
champions of alien interests. This cannot
be tiuthfully said of our political opponents.
Wo have relied for aid and support on the
friends of American interests and not rep
lesentattvesof foreign countries.
While pleading poverty, the Democratic
National Committee bas been amply sup
plied ttlth funds Intended to influence
American citizens to vote against their
owninteiests. We are advised that these
funds have been chiefly contributed by
foieigneis, who seek to bieak down the
barriers of piotectlon, to the end that they
may leap profits and interests built up by
the patiiotic policy of the Republican part.
This committee has used the meager con
tiibutlons given it bv tbe people to falily
and honorably piesent to the country the
Issues to be passed upon at the oallot box.
Our opponents have lelied upon tbe degiad
lng and corrupt influence of money, to be
used on election day, to Induce the people
to abandon tneir principles ana tneir inter
ests and vote the Democratic ticket. For
the purpose of covering this reprehensible
scheme, tbe Democratic press has substan
tially abandoned a discussion of the issues,
and their space has been devoted to a con
tinuous and wholly unjustified line of asser
tions with reference to supposed enormous
contributions to the Republican National
Committee for the alleged purpose or carry
ing the election.
Democrats Driven to Desperation.
Driven to desperate straits, well knowing
that the common sense of tbe body of the
people is arrayed against their unrighteous
cause, the Democratio party has not only
sent forth a false cry to cover their tracks
while undertaking to debauch tbe voter, but
have In tbis State, through tbe Lieutenant
Governor acting as Chairman of a commit
tee, sought to incite evil-disposed persons to
employ insuriectionary methods for the
purpose of preventing tbe officers of tbe law
on election day from guarding the ballot
box, as they are sworn to do, for the pur
pose of preventing fiaud and intimidation.
For the first time in the hinoiy of the Re
public a prominent officer in an imperious
manner has endeavored to Incite the citi
zens, wbo have heretofore honored blm by
their confidence, to violate the law for the
purpose of seenring partisan advantage.
We expect tbe law-abiding citizens of the
Empire State to resent this treasonable ap
peal. Confidently relying on your patriotism,
integrity and common sense, we rest witb
you the oause of protection, the policy of
reoiprooity, the financial system of the Gov
ernment, the extension of onr merchant
marine, and the Bepublican principle of a
free ballot and an honest count. We appeal
to every Republican, every friend of pro
tection, every friend of fair trade, every
friend of honest money, ana every friend of
universal suffrage; to support the Republi
cau ticket.

AN-EXHAUSTIVE CANVASS
Made by a New York Newspaper It Claims
to Be Impartial and to Have No Candi
dateThe Western States Not to Be
Neglected in the Canvass Vet Remain
ing. New York, Nov. ft The New York
Herald sums up tbe exhaustive canvass of
the political situation throughout the coun
try: New York is emphatically a Democratic
State. Indiana, while not so distinctly in
dicated in the canvass, seems to lean
toward Mr. Cleveland. Connecticut Is in
doubt, but the Herald's special correspon
dent regards the State as a bard field for the
Republican managers. There has been
nothing revealed so far to Indicate tbat tbe
solid South has been broken, with the single
exception of West Virginia, whose six elec
toral votes hang uncertainly, the probabili
ties being Democratic.
Taking the Republican estimates on tbe
national ticket In New York from the most
conservative sources, county bv county.
Mr. Harrison's lieutenants do not claim tbe
State by more than 3,700 plurality, while the
Democratio estimates, from equally consei
vatlve sources, county by county, give the
State to Mr. Cleveland by a plurality of
22,000. New York City will contribute nearly
60,000 Demociatlo plurality, and Brooklyn
will probably give a plurality of more than
17,000.
These figures ate not based upon mere
Democratio or Republican estimates. They
are based upon careful figures from both
sides and Independent Investigation. While
It Is true that the solid South remains prac
tically Intent, it Is not true that the North
west appears to be solid for Harrison. Mon
tana and Oregon, for instance, are excep
tions. There is a good deal or shouting and
prophesying in Illinois, but no test yet made
has shown any serious break In the normal
character of its vote, unless it may be tbe
loudly advertised revolt of the German Re
publicans against their party.
In a nutshell, Mr. Cleveland has gained 33
votes over his score in 1888, and the only
points wbeie be is threatened with a loss
are West Virginia and Connecticut, which
cast only ten electoral votes-
ine i-eopies party win taKe mtiny more
electoral votes away from Mr. Harrison
than be will gain in the new States. He
will have to fisht haid for Indiana, with
the chances against him, and with tbe ut
most effort can barely win in Connecticut.
As for New Jersey, Massachuseets and other
old-timers, It is a mere waste of words to
discuss them. They will support their re
spective parties In tbe usual way.
Speaking edltoiially regarding its great
forecast the Herald says: "This review is
written without flourish or ornament. It is
not Intended as a lever to Influence the re
sult, but as a clear and Simple explanation
of the investigations of impartial agents of
this paper. The Herald has no candidate and
will have no candidate."
IheJierald also says: "The managers of
the Republican campaign took action last
night which may be considered as extreme
ly significant at this crisis in the struggle.
Piam the contest In this State they wlth
diew $100,000 of thelrcampaign funds, and
sent the money to Western States. This in
formation comes from a source very close
to the committee, and to President Harrison
himself, and may be considered entirely
trustworthy. It was bailed by the Demo
crats as an indication that tho Republicans
had practically abandoned the contest in
New York, and were making a forced fight
in tbe threatened Western States."
GORMAN SAYS IT'S SETTLED.
He Declares Cleveland Will Be Sleeted,
for His Friends Soy So.
Baltimore, Nov. 6. Special. Senator
Gorman paid a flying visit to Democratic
headquarters at the Can oil ton, last even
ing. It was not generally known tbat be
was in Baltlmoie, and only a few persons
saw him. He was on his way to Laurel,
having come this far on the Pennsylvania
Jlailroad. He took a cab at Union station,
rode to tho Cai roll ton, spent 15 minutes
with Chairman Compton and Secretary Van
Diver, and then hurried off to catch the
Baltimore and Ohio train for his home.
When it leaked out that the Senator had
been here there was a great desire among
the politicians to know j ust what he had to
say. lie had hardly entered when Mr.
Compton said: "Now Arthur, tell us just
what the true situation is. How does it
look!"
"How does it look to you in your dis
trict?" responded Mr. Gorman. "Tell me
that first."
' First rate; flrFt rate," replied Mr. Comp
ton. "Everything is more that encourag
ing. I am suie or a handsome majority."
"Well," said Mr. Goiman, "that is Just
bow it looks to me all over the country. We
hi e getting the same sort of repuits at na
tional headquarters from the leaders every-
wnere. xiiey ten us 01 constant accessions
to the ranks, without any defections on tbe
part of our people. Cleveland Is bound to
be elected, or leaders in several States don't
know what they are talking about."
RELIGION IN POLITICS.
How Two New York Preachers Astonished
Their Flocks.
Watertowit, N. Y Nov. 6. fpectaZ. This
town is considerably stirred up by the
pointed remarks of two of its leading pas
tors in their sermons this morning. Rev.
Father Tobias Glenn, of St. Patrick's Catho
lic Church, after warning his congregation
not to sell their votes, went over the story
of the great political organizations and
showed his hearers that their greatest in
terests lie with the Democratic party. He
came out squarely and advised tbe members
of his congregation to vote tlip Democratio
ticket next Tuesday. I
Rev. C. E. Maxfleld, of the Baptist Church,
devoted his sermon to polltics,and talked so
strong for the Prohibition ticket tbat Colonel
A. D. Shaw, a representative spellbinder and
a pillar of the chuioh, arose and departed
before he was half through.
SOUS DOUBT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Several Reasons Why Cleveland May Not
Get Its Electoral Vote.
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 6. Special. There
are rnmors or some danger to Cleveland in
this State. The three reasons advanced as
a basis are: Short ballots, indifference on
the part or the Cleveland Democrats,
and rumors of treachery. Up to last week
there n as no reason to suppose that there
would not be a majority of at least 10,000 for
Cleveland. There are signs now that the
Third party people may treble the 8,000 esti
mate that bad been put upon their strength,
and there are likewise grave indications
that many of the Alliance men who belong
to the Democratio party may not go to tho
polls. P
Despite thi, the administration leaders
declare there Is no cause for alarm, and tbat
Cleveland will get a good majority. Tho
foregoing considerations, however, express
the prevailing feeling at the State capital.

The Strange Floral Decoration or the Chi

Chicago, Nov. 8 Tho monument erected
in memory of the Anarchists executed five
years ago in Cbioago was dedicated at
Waldheim Cemetciy to-day. There was a
stieet paiade early in the day in which
many women and children participated, de
spite the fact that a cold, drizzling rain was
falling. Tbe graves of Spies, Parsons,
Fischer and Engel, who were executed, and
of Llngg, wbo committed suicide, weie cov

On top of the monument was plaoe'l a
floral gallows from which roses weie sus
pended by ropes of smilax. On the front of
the gallows were the words: "Muideied,
but Not Dead," set in carnations. The
services consisted of songs and speeches,
none of the latter being inflammatory, and
no red was displayed.

LAST DAT AT THE TWO BEArQUARTFRS
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBE DISPATCH. 1
New York, Nov. ft Only odds and
ends incidental to the most bothersome
national campaign in nearly 40 years occu
pied the time ol tbe national campaigners
to-day.
Only those directly interested in the fight
at the two headquarters will perhaps under
stand in its fullest extent the above charac
terization of this campaign. These
managers will tell you that up
to a month ago it was next
to impossible to interest the working lieu
tenants, and through them to stir up the
voters in the two parties. Tht press
bureans in the two headquarters have cir
culated enough matter to warrant the as
sertion that every man, woman or child who
treads tbe globe could have been provided
with documents.
In looking over the situation, now that
tbe fight is at a finish, a good many friends
of President Harrison are recalling that
he he has been most unhappily situated
through all the campaign. The sickness
and death ot Mrs. Harrison bave precluded
him from taking any part in the battle.
Democrats as well as Republicans admit
tbat tbe President is a great speech maker.
His remarks are clear, incisive and telling
with Republicans.
Harrison's Lieutenants All Loyal.
But notwithstanding his affliction and bis
misfortune, Mr. Harrison has had as loyal a
body of men at headquarters as any candi
date qpuld wish for. "Whatever tbe out
come or the fight, Piesident Harrison can
be assured that tuee men bave worked
themselves into positive weailness in the
interest of the Republican party.
As lor ex-President Cleveland, it may bo
said tbat the work done at Democratio
headquarters has been laborious in tbe ex
treme. Very few citizens of this town can
understand the efforts of Hon. W. C. Whit
ney and his associates. Mi. Whitney has a
stalwart frame and Is a comparatively
young man, but he is thoroughly played
out, and after the fight he will take a long
rest.
The battle on both Bides has cost much
money, and before passing on it may be said
that some of tbe details which engaged the
attention of the national campatgneis to
day had to do with certain things necessary
for the legitimate expenses Tuesday.
Piactlcally there was no change to-day In
the situation. Hon. W. F. Harrity. Chair
man of tbe National Democratic Committee,
issued his last address of the campaign to
the Democratic hosts. He says:
Chairman Harrlty's riual Claims.
"Oar confidence in tbe election of Cleve
land and Stevenson incieases houily. Dem
ocratic victory Is now absolutely certain.
Alldonbt has been removed by full and
conclusively satisfactory advices from all of
tbe Southern States in which onr opponents
have made pretenses of contest, as well as
from New York, Indiana, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Information Irom the Western and
the far Western States Justifies the hope of
an impending revolution that will add a
number of electoral votes to those admitted
to be sure for Cleveland, ai well as lose sev
eral others to Harrison in States heretofore
Republican. There are also hopeful indica
tions in New England.
"We owe much to the admirable manage
ment of the DemocraticStateorganlzatlon-i,
especially to thoBe in the close and doubt
ful States. Their work has been efficient
and the result of It is now aDtmrent in the
confidence which the people leel that Tues
eaynext will witness the election of Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson."
Returns All Likely to lie Late.
Once again it must be remarked that in
tbis contest tbe secret ballot is used for tbe
first time in 30 odd States. This fact may
seriously interfere with the returns Tues
day night. It is possible that there will be
delays and especially from tbe country dis
tricts. Fiom sundown Tuesday afternoon the
whole country will be anxiously awaiting
news of the result. The campaign has been
tiresome in many respects, and business
men and all hands will be rejoiced to know
tbat it is over.
Tammany's candidate for Mayor, Thomas
F. Gilroy, was not at all burdened with tho
cares of his political canvass to-day. He
went to churcb as usual In the morning, and
spent the rest of the day at home with bis
family or at the Saeamore Club. Candidate
Einstein's headquarters at the Coleman
House were closed, and neither rosy Robert
J, McCord nor George W. Lyon, his mana
gers, was to be seen. Mr. Einstein's canvass
seemed to be at an end.
Tammany Hall was closed except when
Janitor Bob Kelly opened it to receive the
tons of paster ballots which will be distrib
uted by Tammany workeis to tbe voters
Tuesday, together with thousands of paste
board boxes with which the workers will
be provided. These will be distributed to
the district leaders, and by them to tbe elec
tion district captains before the ODenlng of
the polls.
All of Tammany's Captains Busy.
If there were not many of Tammany's
captains at the Fourteenth stieet bead-
quarters to-day, there was none of tbem
who was not very busy. In every Assembly
district tbe district leaders met wltii their
eleotlon district captains and tbe Demo
cratio Inspectors of elections, and instruc
tions were given as to the lights of inspec
tors and watcbei s. These lnsti nctlons n ere
those which wero Issued by Chaiiman Ed
waid, Mumhy, Jr., of tbe Deuiociatlc state
Committee.
The headquarters of the Republican
County Campaign Committee, in tbe Filth
Avenue Hotel, were open to-day, but there
did not seem to be much business trans
acted. Republican district leaders dropped
in to lounge about for a few minute,
but seemed to be tboie without any
definite purpose. Secietaiy Bellamy
had discovered that the pisters
which Tammany Hall is sending tnroiigii
the mall aie mote than four Inches w Ide.tbe
maximum width allowed by law. He sug
gested that ballots bearing such pasters
would be "marked ballots" under tbe de
cisions of the courts, and liable to be thrown
out. As the board of election inspectors
have the discretionary power to return bal
lots as "marked" it Is evident that no tech
nicality of this sort will be allowed to dis
franchise a voter. To remove anv douot of
this ort, however, it Is a very easy matter
lor the votor to cut off enough of the mar
gin ofa Tammany paster to briug it. within
the four inches.
Polling Places to Be Crowded.
Tho capacity of some of the places prom
ised to be sadly tried, and the sign "Stand
ing Room Only" may bave to be taken down
if everybody wbo has or is alleged to
have a light to be in them at
one time is to be admitted. Besides
the inspectors, the poll and ballot clerks,
the United States supervisors and an in
definite number of "supporting" marshals,
and the challengers wboin every party
having candidates in the field may name,
every candidate who Is running for un office
in tbe election district is entitled to have a
watcher at the polling place.
This means that every candidate for
eleotor, on whatever ticket, may appoint
over bis own signature a nfan who may at
tend within the polling place, as well as
every other candidate, down to the man
wbo is running for alderman. Should all
candidates make these apnolntments there
la probably not a polling place in the city
whtfih wnrild contain them. As it Is every
I Tammany Hall candidate and every Repub-
-a.n candidate in tne city nas opoumicu

A Shooting Affray at the Elba Iron Works
Caused by a Trifle Two Non-Union
Men Arrested as a Itesnjt of the
Scrap.
Frankstown was thrown in a furore of ex
citement yesterday afternoon by a shooting
affray. "William Campbell was reported to
bave been slightly wounded in the leg,
while some passersby on the hill above nar
rowly escaped being hit, one of the bullets
passing within a few inches of a woman
standing near the house of George Fretz.
It was reported last night that William
Campbell met one of the Lolored men, who
were recently brought to the Elba Iron
Works to take tne place of tbe strikers, and
asked blm who his father was. The colored
man took it as an insult. Words were ex
changed and, drawing a revolver, he fired
three shots at Campbell, one taking
effect in his leg. As soon as tho shots were
fired the colored man got away, but was
afterward arrested and lodged in the Hazel
wood station. He crave bis name as George
Scott.
Another story as to the cause of the shoot
ing is to the effect that Scott was chopping
some wood near the Fretz honse. When
ordered away bo became angry, and, going
down tbe hill a short distance, turned and
fired at the people on tbe bank above.
Officer Hanley arrested C. C. Brown, col
ored, as a suspicious character and being
Implicated in the affray with ScOtt. The
officers did not gee Scott until late in
the evening, after he had returned
to his lodgings in Mill row jnst
above the iron mills. After the shooting the
crowd attracted by the rumpus was desper
rate, and a free light between it and the col
ored men was narrowly averted. Stones
were thrown, but police drove the people
away. C. C. Brown and George Scott will
be given a bearing this morning.
WORKERS' LOST BATTLE.
A Itnmor That the Beaver Falls Strike
Will Be Called Off After Election.
Beaver Falls, Nov. 6. Special. The
latest development in the stride is an ar
rangement said to have been maaoby the
Amalgamated Association to declare the
strike off immediately after election. One
of the men prominently Identified with iie
strike, who was one of the first to take the
position that the signing of the scale at
these mills was not binding on the members
of the same association at war with "the
same company in another mill, said that,
while the merits of the case remained un
changed, the surrender of the strikers
would be a move forced upon them by
necessity.
It was also stated that tbe strike here, as
well as at Homestead, would have, been
called off a month ago but for the assurance
of certain members of tbe Advisory Com
mittee that tbe relief fund to be raised In
Chicago would enable tbe unemployed men
to live until spring, if necessary. When the
Chicago fund failed so wretchedly, the men
were largely In favor ot abandoning the
struggle then, hut some of the leaders urged
the continuance of the strike until after the
election. Besides these specific statements,
there were others made to-day by Borne of
tbe men not members of the Amalgamated,
who accuse the ruling strikers who are mem
bers or gettlnz a consideration to keep tbe
fight on until after next Tuesday. In any
case, when the strike does yield, as most of
the strikers agree it must do sneedlly, there
will be some interesting disclosures in re
gard to tbe management of tbe relief funds
and the Influences outside tbe association
tbat have been active in prolonging the con
test. OIL THROUGH THE CRESCENT.

MODIFIED ORDERS FE03I E0TH SIDES.
Hew Tobk, Nov. GL United States
Marshal John W. Jacobus was a busy man
to-day. He summoned before him tbe chief
deputy marshals whom be bas appointed
for each Assembly district, and these be
had closeted with him for an hour in one of
the court rooms of tbe Federal building'.
Before dismissing them, copies of his final
instructions were banded to bis deputies,
as follows:
"Certain evil-disposed persons are em
ploying by published proclamations and
secret circulars to deceive the public as to
tbe duties of the United States Marshals on
election day. The evident purpose of
these persons is to excite the turbulent
to riot and disorder, and to lead even fair
minded, honest citizens to refrain from giv
ing that support to the officers of the
United States Qoverment which tbe su
preme law of the land demands from
them."
Then follows a definition of tbe legal
status of he deputies and tbis admonition:
Closing Orders to tbe Deputies.
"Each of you will remember tbat be is
an officer of tbe Go vernment of the United
States of America. You arenot to act as
partisans, and aside from casting your votes
as your individual preferences may dictate,
you are not to be the agents or instruments
of any political party. You are to protect,
however, supported as you are by
all uower ot the national Government.
every lawful voter within your precinct in
tne exercise oiuis sovereign rignt or iran
chlse. You are to permit no evil-disposed
nerson to interfere with pr interrupt the
discbarge of your duties. You are to act
with prudence, forbearance and modera
tion, bat also without fear or favor. You
are to support tbe Federal supervisors, and.
see to it tnat every vote is counted as cast,
and are to support- them in protecting tha
ballot box against fraudulent and illegal
ballots. If Illegal or fraudulent action shall
be supported by any show of force, you
are to command the assistance of all lawful
citizens and call upon me, without stint or
hesitation, for whatever additional force
may be needed to preserve the peace, pro
tect the citizens and guard tbe ballot box."
Marshal Jacobus also wrote a letter in re
ply to the Democratic lawyers, wbo stated
In effect that an arrest of any person at
tempting fraudulently to vote, tiefore the
vote Is cast, U illegal and contrary to the
opinion of Judje Brewer. Tho Marshal
states:
All in Accordance With Law.
"If the ex-parte opinion of Judge Brewer
npon the question submitted .idmltted ofa
construction such as you insist, which Is
denied, it wonld be against thoesjwsiajil,
and qualified language of the statute.
which is as plain as the English
language can make it, and. tberelore,
easily .uuderstood by a layman as well as
a legal mind. In conclusion,! beg leave to
say that no one resDect3 tbe courts mora
fully than myself, but I can learn of no
decision of the United States or other courts
sustaining your contention. Tne instruc
tions already given are not only in accord
ance with the plain law, but upon lines of
those heretofore given and unquestioned
since 1870. It will be my duty, therefore, to
see that they are enforced to tbe letter."
The circular of instructions to election
officers prepared by General Rodenbough,
Chief of the Bureau of Elections, was placed
before the Police Commissioners at an ex
ecutive session Frld&y afternoon. A that
tjme the circular contained instructions not
to permit United States Supervisors or Elec
tion to remain Inside the guard-rail at tha
