If rECIAL TFtTGItAM TO THE IHSFATCTT.
N nir Yoitrc, Noy. 7. The last political
slogan has gone iorth from both head
quarters, and preparations are new made
for receiving results there. While both
lides are confident, there is no question that
both sides are anxious. New York is with
out question the rallying point, and the in
terest of the Campaign centers here. Mr.
Croker claims 75,000 majority for the Dem
ocratic ticket, and Governor Flower says
CO, 000 nould not surprise him.
Republican managers are equally con
fident, and say the lowest figure for Harri
son will be 10,000 in the State. To-night
certain figures are published claiming to be
the latest estimates of both parties here in
New York State.. According to the Demo
cratic arithmetic Cleveland's majority in all
the counties will be 99,630, while they con
cede the Harrison ticket 73,550, giving the
Democrats 2G,0o0 supremacy in round fig
ures this on a basis of C8.000 in New York
county.
rigures Are Conservative.
Hie Republicans have also indulged in
figures, and according to their estimates
they find 92,000 as against 86,000 for their
Democratic brethren, thus giving Harrison
the State by G.000. These are regarded as
the most conservative of figures, and much
larger results are looked for.
Messrs. Harnty, Croker, Dickinson and
Whitney are out to-niht in a card, calling
attention of voters to the fact that many
pasters are issued which are more than
fonr inches wide, and while they do not
n-cessarilv invalidate a ballot, all good
Democrats thould see that any paster
they may use shall not be wider
than the regulation four inches,
and that such will be supplied
by Democratic workers at the polls. Tam
many has also issued instructions to the
faithful, calling upon them to vote early
and to have their voters, if challenged,
sworn in promptly, also saying that ample
protection will be thrown about voters, and
if they are arrested before voting they will
be released on bail at once, and then they
must return and vote.
Many Millions of Bonds Heady.
Prominent Democratic candidates have
qualified as bail to the extent of over
51,000,000, and it is said that before to-morrow
3,000,000 will be presented, so there
will be no delay in the release of those ar
rested for want of good and sufficient sure
ties.
At both headquarters to-day the signs
were of perfect confidence. The Repub
lican quarters are being changed to accom
modate the crowds expected to-morrow
night. The barricades that have hitherto
protected the sacred few from invasion
have all been removed and the
immense rooms on the first floor all thrown
together. Long tables will be in place to
morrow lor the accommodation of news
paper representatives, special wires and
messengers will be in place, and everything
done to facilitate the spreading ot the glad
tidings amoug the faithful.
The news bureau has practically sus
pended operations, chiefs of various de
partments are at rest, and it looks as
though within 24 hours the business end of
the Republican party will have suspended
operations.
Satisfied With tlie Frospcct.
Members of the committee are not saying
much, and only expressed themselves as
perfectly satisfied with the prospect, and
content to abide the issue.
Prom outside points come conflict
ing reports. Each side is claiming
doubtful districts, and the actual
result can only be considered speculative.
Fraud, is charged on both sides, assertions
are lreelv made that boodle is extensively
nsed, and that the sanctity of the ballot
will be violated by unprincipled managers
of both parties. In fact, matters have as
sumed much the tame appearance of a race
track just before the horses come to the
pole.
The result in some of the Northwest
States is unquestionably in doubt. Con
servative men on both sides admit they
cannot forecast the situation with any
degree of accuracy. The strength
of the People's party depends
largely upon the loyalty of malcontents,
and they are not to be relied upon. If at
the ery last moment there should be
indications that the fusion movement will
not win, the dissatisfied will return to
their original party allegiance, and in this
way there may be a slump one way or the
the other.
Wet and Unpleasant Weather.
The weather prophet predicts wet and
nnpleasant weather, through the State and
city at least, until noon, and this will mean
that a smaller vote will be polled than on a
clear day, and it is generally con
ceded that the Republicans will be
the losers. Re that as it may,
there is one thing certain, and that is that
never in the history of the country has
there been such an earnest endeavor on the
part of the majority of voters to post them
selves fully on the issues of the campaign
and be prepared to cast an intelligent bal
let. -General
Clarkson said to-day: "Alldoubt
of Harrison's election is passed. On Satur
day we had 211 sure electoral rotes for
Harrison, according to our tables. Our in
formation and report led us to believe that
Harrison would carry the following States:
California. 8 Iowa..
Milne 6 iKmsas.
Massachusetts 151
Minnesota 9
New Hampshire 4
Wisconsin 12
Michigan 10
Ohio 23
Orecon 4
Pennsylvania. 32

Idaho 3
Colorado 4
Illinois 54
Montana 3
Kortb Dakota 8
South Dakota 4
WashlnKton 4
"Tomtng. 3
Nebraska 8
Total ai.
Indiana and Connecticut Solid.
"I classed New York, Connecticut, Indi
ana, Nevada, West Virginia and Delaware
as doubtful last week, but to-day I have
taken Indiana and Connecticut out of the
doubtful column, which gives Mr. Harri
son 232 electoral votes and elects him with
out New York. But I believe we have
more than an even chance to carry this
State. I am willing to stake my reputation
that Benjamin Harrison will win to-morrow's
battle."
Chairman Brookfield, of the Republican
State Committee, gave it as his opinion to
day that Harrison would carry the day in
New York State by a majority so larjre as
would set at rest all cavil upou the
question of Republican supremacy. Chair
man Harrity has to-day been in receipt
of a number of telegrams from all sections
predicting success for the Democratic party,
and assuring him of complete organization
and perfect confidence. It is generally ac
cepted that the vote ot both parties will be
pretty fully brought out.
All country voters who do not show up
at the polls by noon to-morrow will practi
cally be dragged up to vote. Thousands of
vehicles have been hired all over the State
for this purpose.
For this State the weather forecast for
Eastern New York is showers, followeil bv
lair weather Tuesday alternoon or night;
for Western New York, fair, clearing on
the lakes, decidedly colder, northwesterly
gales.
Funds for Railroad Fares.
The National and State managers were
busy to-day disbursing funds to voters in
business in this city who have retained
their residences in the country. Many of
these voters just at this time find themselves
a little short, and the contest has become so
heated that the various committees were
glad to pay their railroad fares home.
L C Wall, ot the Chicago branch of the
Democratic National Committee, tele
graphed that he lelt confident that Wis
consin would go for Cleveland. The same
word was received from the Connecticut
State managers. As for New York the
Democratic chieftain? are as sure of the
State as they are that they will breakfast
this morning. No change in sentiment
among the national chieftains at
the two headquarters can be re
corded. The Democrats are just as con
fident as ever of Mr. Cleveland's
election. Dispatches were received from
ex-Governor Gray, of Indiana, announcing
that Indiana was safe for Cleveland. Secre
tary Sheerin returned from Indiana last
night, and he too was convinced that the
Hoosier State was secure.
Carter Is More Than Confident.
At Republican National headquarters
Mr. Carter and his friends were just as con
fident of President Harrison's re-election.
The Republicans also claim New York, In
diana and Connecticut Tney said
that the only hope the Democrats
had in this fight was ' that
Weaver would carry enough Western
States to throw the election in the House of
Representatives. These Republicans say
that the hope of the Democrats in that di
rection does not rest on the slightest foun
dation, and that they are beaten in the con
test all oyer the country.
In other words, all anv intelligent person
can do Is to foreco predictions and await
the result in peace and patience. It will
do no harm to add, however, that by cer
tain persons interested in this contestthere
has b-en some splendid lving.
Ex-President Clevela-id will receive the
returns to-night at his home, 12 West Fiftv
first street. Hon. W. C. Whitnev, Colonel
Daniel Lamont ami others will be with
Mr. Cleveland. A special wire has
been run into Mr. Cleveland's home.
Colonel Lamont is one of the most expert
political mathematicians in the country.
He will be of great service in figuring out
the percentage and other political data as
received over the private wire.
GORMAN STILL CERTAIN
That Cleveland Is Just as Good as Fleeted
President of This Country.
Washington, Nov. 7. Senator Gor
man was in the city to-day seemingly just
as placid as he mieht appear were there no
Presidental elction within two or three
years. "I shall be at home until after
election," said the Senator. "I came home
soon as my work elsewhere was done, and
to-morrow I expect to vote for the next
President That remark might be regarded
as indicative of certainty on mv part as to
the identity of the next President Let
me say very frankly that for two weeks
past there has never been any doubt in my
mind as to Mr. Cleveland's success. Be
yond question he will win.
"New York is sure by a good majority I
am not dealing in figures now while both
Indiana and Connecticut are equally safe.
West Virginia will continue to belong to
us. We will not lose a Southern vote.
Under some circumstances the Republicans
might have gained temporary advantage in
places heretofore Democratic, but for the
action of the Government in offensively en
forcing a statnte which will permit the
employment of depnty marshals at the
polls. That gives the'people a practical
idea as to what might be expected were the
force bill a law. I shall not attempt to
tell you what our New York majority will
be, "but you may be satisfied with the
assurance it is going to be large enough.
Cleveland is as good as elected now."
HABBITY'S V2ET LATEST.
lie Looks for a Host Decisive Democratic
Victory To-day.
Chicago, Nov. 7. The following tele
gram from W. F. Harrity, Chairman of the
National Democratic Central Committee,
was received by the State Central Demo
cratic Committee to-day.
The evo or the election finds us even more
confident than wo have ever been. Earnest
efforts to-day and to-morrow will bring every
Democratic voter to the polls and insure a
dcci-dve Democratic ylctory. 2ewTork has
been piactically abandoned by the Re
publican managers, and they, are about
prepared to concede New Jersey
and Indiana. Wo also shall carry
Connecticut. There will be no break in the
electoral vote of the Southern States. Make
certain that every Democratic vote in your
State is polled, and make this request of
every County Chairman. Let us hear from
you this alternoon or evening.
Frauds Charged In Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 7. The managers of the
local Democratic campaign claim to hare
discovered 92 false registrations in the
"First ward and charge the Republican man
agers with an attempt to make votes in
that manner. This afternoon John O'Brien,
of the Democratic Naturalization Commit

10 M WATER,
A Complete Tie Up in the Cres
cent City by the Amal
gamated Council.
EYERY UNION GOES OUT,
And New Orleans Is Left Without
Bread, Light or Liquid.
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN FOR PEACE
By the
1'ayor and ths Militia Held in
Eeadiness for Trouble.
BOTH SIDE8 DNWIhLING TO TltLD
IEPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCn.
New Orleans, Nov. 7. The big strike
is now fully under way, and New Orleans
is beginning to feel it in every branch of
business and appreciate how grave is the
crisis. The chances of an early and peace
ablmettlement grow fewer every day and
the outeome now is either the complete
annihilation of unionism in this city or its
overwhelming success and domination of all
the trades aud industries.
When the strike began Saturday even
ing, the Amalgamated Council found that
it could not fully control the various unions
belonging to it. The Typographical Union
led off in the rebellion, refusing to obey the
orders of the Council and deciding not to
strike. A number of the clothing clerks,
paper hangers and members ot other trades
also refused to obey the orders, and the
cotton men generally denied the authority
of the Council. During Sunday, however,
it reasserted its authority and convinced all
the rebels that the issue had been securely
made between union and non-union men
and to-day the strikers carried everything
before them.
General Business Faralyzod.
The Typographical TJuion reconsidered
its action and went out at G o'clock. The
clothing clerks, all save four, struck
aud the paper hangers, who had re-
fused to go out went out as ordered.
Every union expressed its willingness to
obey any order ot its Council. River steam
boats were paralvzed by ordering out the
roustabouts and longshoremen.
The engineers also lelt, but were ordered
back by the Council with the iniormation
that they had not been called out aud to
await instructions. The strike of the lreight
handlers similarly paralyzed the railroads
aud with the teamsters, loaders and store
housemen who are already on a strike. The
cause of all this industrial disturbance com
pletely tied up the trade and business of
the city.
The tie up everywhere was complete. The
simultaneous strike 01 the street car men
and the carriage drivers has left the people
without means of getting lrom one part of
the city to another. The bakers went out
to-day, leaving the people without bread.
Fven the Gas Goes Out.
The gas men striking, the gas companies
abaudoued the field tnis morning.announcing
to-night that they would be unable to u
ply the city or private "-esidence vr'thR
to-night. It is understood that the elecRc
company can supply lisrhts lor to-night, but
the illumination will also be -short before
to-morrow.
Even the funerals are affected. All the
drivers having struck, the undertakers have
been compelled to drive their own carriages
and have limited funerals to two carriages.
Even those trades not affected by strikes
are paralyzed by it, as lor instance, the
cotton pressmen and screw men, who are
waiting to handle the cotton coming to the
presses, say there is none to handle.
Although outside of the union there is a
strong feeling against the strike. There
seems to be no organization in opposition
to it. While the Council has got its men
thoroughly under control and appears to be
able to do anything with them, it has issued
orders that there shall De no violence
towards non-union men.
Citizens Ashed to Preserve Peace.
To-day Mayor Fitzpatrick issued a
proclamation calling on all citizens to aid
in preserving peace and order and promis
ingto do all inhisponer to prevent trouble.
Governor Foster came down from the State
Capitol yesterday and will remain in New
Orleans as long as the strike continues.
He held conferences with committees
of strikers and opposing merchants, but
could see no way by which the State could
interfere or he could help to bring about a
peaceful solution of the troubles to-day.
.Lieutenant Governor Farlange also came to
the city, and he and the leaders of the
militia 'held a conference with the Gov
ernor. Governor Foster held a long conference
with the Mayor, but it was entirely on the
question of preserving order, and he does
not think the strike can be aided by arbi
tration, both sides having gone too far. He
consulted Chief Justice Nichols and Attor
ney General Cunningham as to the legal
aspect of the affair, and the representatives
of the State Government as a necessary pre
caution. The. arms of the militia companies have
been removed to places of greater safety.
A guard is stationed at the armories to pro
tect them, but no steps were taken to call
out the militia. An extra force was sta
tioned by Governor Foster at the gas works
to protect them.
The City Keeps Quiet.
Despite the strike, however, the city was
unusually quiet and orderly and the Labor
Council able to retain its men. Its general
instructions to the men were to keep at
home. Very few of them were seen on the
streets. Considerable consternation
was caused by the information
that the men employed in
the water works company were to follow
those in the gas works. The underwriters
and insurance men are much interested in
the situation to-day. It the water supply
is cut off, a great danger will present itself
from conflagrations whether due to natural
or incendiary causes. In case of destruction
of property due to rioting, the insurance
companies would not be liable for losses.
The city would have to foot the bills. The
Governor interested himself and it was
announced to-night that the water supply
of the city would not be cut off.
The gas company gave notice that there
was great danger ot explosion, due to the
nature ot the gas and air in the pipes, and
warned all persons to light no gas jets.
The St. Charles and Academy of Music
were illuminated to-night by calcium lights
in lieu of gas.
In the conference between the merchants
and the Labor Council to-day, the merchants
agreed to concede all save point in dispute,
but the strikers stood firm and all negotia
tions were finally broken off, leaving no
prospects of a settlement of the difficulty.
The merobants said that they would under
no circumstance and at no time recede lrom
the position they had taken with respect to
their refusal to be dictated to In the em
ployment of their labor. The Arbitration
Committee Is a nuit on that point.
Merchants Go on as They Can.
If possible the merchants will go on with
their business as usual, but if they are
interfered with, they are ready to close
their places of business for an indefinite
period. Notwithstanding the strike, drays
and floats "ere still hauling merchandise to
aud from the railroad depots and steamboat
landings, but a complication arose when the
runners ot the steamboats came to notify
the merchants that oning to the strike of
employes the boats would be prevented
from leaving the city and therefore receive
no freight.
The strike seems to have completely par
alyzed politics, and fears are entertained
that it may cut down the Democratic vote
of New Orleans. The Republicans have
made savage attacks on the labor record of
the Democratic) candidates for Congress,
and hope to use the excitement as the sub
ject against them. The loss in wages from
the strike will amount to some $50,000 a
day, and to employers still more.
The injury to the business of New Or
leans will be very great, as this is the
busiest season of the year. AH the steam
boats save the w hiipers are tied up. The
American Sugar Refinery Company, a mem
ber of the Trust, shut down its two refin
eries to-day in consequence of the strike,
and began shipping the immense stock of
raw sugar to New York, where it will be
refined. It pay roll has been $50,000 a
year. Fears are entertained that the stag
nation of business may cause a financial
stringency here, dangerous to the smaller
dialers.
Only One Serious Collision.
Notwithstanding -the great excitement
there was only one serious collision to-day,
v hen the strikers attacked some non-union
sugar workers, openingfire on them with
revolvers. It is generally understood that
Governor Foster has -determined to take
a hand in the matter and will order out the
mililia and enforce order, but that, he is
afraid to do this until after election day
lest the occupation of the city by troops on
that day might lose Louisiana to the De
mocracy, or the presence of troops near the
polls affect the electoral vote of the State.
TROOPS IN READINESS.
To Go to Tom Watson's Home if the Fop
ulites Resort to Arson.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7. The Third party
people in Thompson, the, home of Congress
man Tom Watson, threaten to burn the

crats. The mayor of the town, John L.
Holzeiidorf, has appealed to Governor Nor
then for aid. The Governor has ordered
the military companies here and in Augusta
to be ready for marching within half an
hour's notice. Orders have also been given

PLUNGED TO DEATH
A Family Forcerljrom Their
Beds hy a Midnight Fire,
Jump for Their Lives
FK0M TOP STORY WINDOW
Mrs. William Shuett Is Killed, Her
Sister Is Injured and
HER HUSBAND BlRELY ESCAPES.
G. O'Brien's Fifth Avenue Storo Totally
Destroyed.
FIREMEN SATED PROM A FALLING WALL.
The paint and wallpaper store of G. G.
G. O'Brien, No. 292 Fifth avenue, was
totally destroyed at midnight- Mrs. Min
nie Shuett, wife of William Shuett, who
occupied the top floor off the building, lost
her life by jumping to the street
to escape the flames. Her sister, Lvdia
Ednards, jumped also, but her injuries
are not considered fatal. Shuett was hang
ing to the wiidow sill and about to jump
when a ladder was procured and he was
caved. His hands were severely burned be
fore he was rescued. A dozen firemen nar
rowly escaped death by the falling of the
rear wall..
The fire broke out in the cellar in the
rear of the building next to Ann street
Those who were in the vicinity say it was
not a minute from the time they first saw
indications of a fire until the building
was a mass of flames from cellar to roof.
The'first floor was used as the paint store,
oils and varnishes were stored in the cellar
and the second floor was the wall paper
storeroom. The building had a front of
four stories on Fifth avenue and three on
Ann street in the rear. The two upper
floors have been rented as flats for several
years.
Awakened by Flame and Smoke.
For the past two months Shuett, his wife
and her sister were the only occupants.
They were in bed asleep when the fire
started, and were awakened by heavy vol
umes of smoke bursting into the room
through the doorways. Shuett sprang out
of bed aud called to his wife and her sister.
All were comparatively cool and collected
until they found the stairway leading from
their rooms into Ann street blocked by
flames. The women screamed in terror.
Their only mode of escape was by the win
dow, 30 feet from the pavement. Without
stopping to add to her scanty night dress
Mrs. Shuett crept over the window sill,
and letting herself down at arms' length,
dropped to the pavement. She fell on her
head and shoulder, breaking her neck and
left arm.
John B. Downey; of No. 31 Gibbon
street, came along at this moment and car
ried her out of the way just asMu "--wards
made her PPe43MMfWe
window. Downey csjttd S' to
drop, aud he would -eRch r her.?
The girl, after a moment'sesltationj-fol.,
lowed his advice, but in',1 dwndiogsks,
turned completely over and Downey was
nnable to hold her. She struck on his left
arm, breaking her fall, and it is likely her
life will be saved in consequence.
Hanging in the Flames.
William Schuett was the next one to
appear at the window. He hung there
several moments while half a dozen excited
men below called to him to wait. After what
seemed to him an age a ladder was
procured and placed in position azainst
the wall and Schuett, almost dead
with fear and his hands badly scorched, de
scended to the street in safety. While the
rescue was going on Downey, assisted by
Johu Noon, of No. 15 Gibbon street, car
ried the bleeding, inanimate form of Mrs.
Schuett to the house of Louis Rosenfeld,
74 Forbes street, where in a few moments
she expired. Mrs. Edwards was taken to
the same place.
Mrs. Shuett's body was taken to the
morgue and her sister to the Mercy Hospi
tal. Shuett when first rescued did not
know his wife had been killed. He ran
frantically through the crowd calling for
her tor some time. When apprised ot her
fate his grief was painful to witness. Shuett
is a blacksmith, has only lived in the city
since July aud lost all he had in the world
by the fire.
Narrow Escape From a Falling Wall.
The contents of the building being of
such highly inflammable nature, burned it
out completely before the firemen got thor
oughly to work. The engines did not reach
the scene until the Shuett family had all left
the building. A dozen firemen were at
work on Ann street when the rear wall fell
out, but fortunately all escaped, only one
being slightly injured. Good fire walls aud
prompt work of the firemen saved the big
store buildings on either side of the one de
stroyed. "While removing the balance of
the wall Albert Lincoln, otNo. 4 company,
was slightly injured aud taken home.
G. G. O'Brien, proprietor of the store,
did not come in to the fire, but his brother
said the stock was large worth probably
$25,000, and well insured. The building
was erected eight years ago, was owned by
O'Brien and valued at 55,000. Mr. O'Brien
is one of the most aggressive young business
men in the city. Haying "succeeded his
father, who was a painter before him, he
has extended the business in other lines
with great success. His brother says ar
rangements will be made to continue the
business without interruption.
The stock of J. A. Shapira, whose dry
goods store adjoins the ruined building,
was slightly damaged by water and his cel
lar filled nlth water.

QUAY'S ESTIMATE.
Harrison Will Be Elected hy Carrylnff New
Tork, Indiana and Connecticut.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Senator Quay
to-day indulged in the first definite estimate
regarding the result of the Presidental elec
tion. "Senator," said a reporter, "you have
been quoted as saying that yon might be in
a position to say something definite upon
the result of the election some tlfae to-day.
Will you say anything yet on that subject?"
"I received a telegram to-day," he re
plied, "that leads me to believe that Harri
sou will be elected. In order to be elected
he must carry Nen York, Indiana and Con
necticut." "You think he will carry these States?"
"I do. At any rate, that is the purport
of my information, and ot course I am
simply basing my opinion on that. As
I have told you, I have not
been in a position personally to
post myself, and I am depending tor my
information upon headquarter I have no
reason, however, to doubt this information,
and I think there can be no question about
Harrison's election."

STORMS IN THE WEST
Threaten to Make the Vote in That Vicinity
tighter Than Uusnal.
CniCAGO, Nov. 7. The indications are
that a light vote will be polled in
many portions of the northwest on ac
count of to-day's storm. It is not ex
pected to have as much effect in the
cities and towns as upon the farmers, who
will be compelled to travel several miles to
a polling place. Dispatches from St.
Cloud, Northfield, Redwood Falls and
other points in Minnesota report a
heavy gale, attentcd by severe cold, and in
Wisconsin similar conditions prevail, and
around Eau Claire the roads are reported
to be impassible, and their condition to be
such as will prevent the casting of a heavy
vote.
Menominee, Mich., reports a heavy
northwest gale, accompanied by a blinding
snow and a condition of roads such as will
render a light vote probable. The same in
formation comes from many points in
Northern Iowa.
ANARCHY NOTEAD.
Inflammatory Circulars Distributed in
Chicago With Great Secrecy.
CniCAGO, Nov. 7. Chief McClaughrey
is in possession of a document which appar
ently proves that anarchy in Chicago is not
dead. The document contains three closely
printed pages. A black line of mourning
surrounds the following announcement on
the title page:

BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. J
New Yoek, Nov. 7. The weather prof
pects for to-morrow are not alluring, ac
cording to the weather bureau. A heavy
storm is now in progress in the lake region,
and this evening there is here a cold, driz
zling rain, probably the advance guard of
this same storm. The duration of the
storm, it is prcdictel, wijl be about 21
hours, and behind it is a cold wave of con
siderable strength. Mr. Dunn said this
morning that the storm to-morrow would
probably extend from Virginia northward
over the Middle Atlantic and New Eng
land States, and while it might clear oil" be
fore night, it was not probable. All over
the rest ot the country it will be cold and
clear, according to the present indications.
Arrangements have all been completed
for the election in this city to-morrow, and
there is little for the managers to do ex
cept to see that the vote is properly cast
and counted. There will be a large force
representing both parties at the polls, and
if numbers of watchers are any evidence of
an honest vote, the ballot will be pure.
A Closo Watch on All Frauds.
On behalf of the Federal authorities a
force of supervisors, each with a United
States marshal's certificate, will watch pro
ceedings at the polls, keeping the peace
and watching for alleged proposed frauds.
John W. Jacobus, the United States mar
shal of this district, has sworn in a number
of these deputies about 5,000 in all who
will see that a correct vote is cast and
counted. On the other hand. Sheriff Gor
man has taken time by the forelock and Is
ready tjuput a lot of men in every election
atch. tha-, yirsoals, who have
eelvedirjtestrncUoas to watch them
ti.Jtt Jr -iSJore likely that the presence
of sivSuck-force will deter either party
from any attempted frauds in this city, and
there is no likelihood now of any violence.
There has been much correspondence
between Mr. Jacobus, John L Davenport
and the Tammany committee of lawyers,
and little has resulted in the way of a
settlement of the alleged difficulties. Pro
clamations have been issued by the United
States District Attorney, Mr. Mitchell;
Governor Flower, Lieutenant Governor
Sheehau, the District Attorney, Mr. Nicoll,
the Attorney General of the United States
and others, all apparently having the same
purpose in view the purity of the election.
Police the Real Peace Preservers.
The police have bad their orders, and
they will be the real preservers of the
peace if it comes to any sucn state as to re
quire the interference of anybody.
It has been claimed by those who hold to
the Federal view of the matter that the
deputy marshals have a right to go within
the rails at the polling places, and that they
have many rights which the Democratic
party managers.say they have not. It may
be that the courts will be called in to decide
the mooted points, but the police seem to
have decided for everybody, and they are
likely to insist upon their orders being
obeyed. Superintendent Byrnes says he
expects no trouble to-morrow, and that the
police force will do its duty without fear or
favor. He says that the deputy marshals
are ncting under United States laws, and
they will be aided, if necessary, in the en
forcement of them, but that he is sure that
the superiors of the marshals will not allow
any ot them to violate the law any more
than they would allow anybody else to do
it. If the Federal representatives break
any law to-morrow, Mr. Byrnes says they
will be as amenable to the law as anybody
else. It is the general opinion of the city
officers that the anti-election stories of ex
pected trouble will amount to as much as
they have in former years that is, much
talk and very little trouble.
The Supreme Court to Sit All Day.
Judge Barrett said to-day that from ths
opening to the closing of the polls to
morrow the Judges of the Supreme Court
will attend in turn, two or three at a time,
in their chambers at the County Court
House, as has been the custom in preceding
years. This will greatly aid the people
who may be arrested illegally.
Extraordinary preparations have been
made in the matter ot looking out for all
attempts to vote fraudulently. There have
been filed with United States Marshal
Jacobus about 4,000 warrants, sworn out
against persons who are alleged to have
registered illegally. They will not be
served unless the persons named therein
attempt to vote to-morrow.
Information was received at the mar
shal's office to-day that a body of 300 col
onizers, whose destination was Coney
Island, have been shipped from Pittsbnrg
and other parts of Allegheny county. Tho
Marshal said he was prepared to give them
a warm reception.
Mr. Jacobus has a private wire in hit
office, and is in touch with all parts of the
country. The marshal stated, late this
afternoon, that the limit of depnty mar
shals who would do duty at the polls to
morrow had been placed at 7,000.
Sheehan Predicts Trouble.
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, when
asked at Buffalo, to-night, what be thought
of the tituation at the closing hour, re
plied: "We will carry New York State.
Of that I have not the slightest
doubt. There is every indica
tion of trouble to-morrow. The
Republican mauagers have sworn in a small
army of deputy marshals, and insist on
bavins from two to five marshals in each
election district The Sheriff has sworn in
about 300 deputy sheriffs, and the Demo
cratic managers declare that every Demo-
