BALLOTS BY THE MILLION.
A Busy Sabbath for the Political
Corps Commanders
VICTORY PREDICTED-FOR BOTH PARTIES.

The constitutional antipathy OF the average New
Yorker to the Puritan observance Of the Sabbath Is at
no time more strikingy apparent than on the Sunday
Immediately preceding the day Of election. On this
day immense deal Of work is done by the party
machines, for by common consent the Sunday is
chosen for the arrangement Of the ballots technically
called the "bunching Of tickets" and for the
instruction Of the workers appointed to take
charge Of the various booths which. like sentry
boxes, will be tomorrow in the vicinity Of the
various polling places Whether it be for the greater
ease with which men can be gathered together on
Sunday than on other days. all business being sus-
pended whether 1t be that the time Of the battle
drawing near makes every hour seem more
precious than tho last. it is certain
that the Sunday before election is Sabbath
to the politician. and that those who on other
Sundays attend to their church duties to be
found yesterday either in committee meeting at some
headquarters or punching tickets in active co-opera-
ton with score or more of companions. "A thou
sand details were to be arranged, and hundreds Of
thousands Of balets were to be folded and put into
sets forming the ticket Of each respective party.
There was no exception to the rule yesterday.
From forenoon until late last night men hurry
ing from 'headquarters to another carrying in
structons and advice. equivalent to orders from the
chiefs Of the different orgadizations. Committee
tors and Of other workers were addressed
by recognized representatives Of the parties and
structed in their duties warned Of dangers and adj
monshed to keep sharp lookout for opportunities.
In each Congressional district in the city the report

latest items Of and Indications Of change in the
prospects for Tuesday. The punching OF tickets,
however. which in the olden time done in
the various districts on the principle Of divid-

pieces is now done in private in almost every case.
probably from the fear Of treachery. The Tammany
tickets were punched under the immediate super
vision Of committee chosen for the purpose, and
will be kept in some secret place until early to-
morrow morning. when they will be delivered in the
proper numbers at each Tammany booth. The anti
Tammany tickets were punched by boys and girls

The announcement of the establishment
OF new paper at Waterville is certainly a
surprise and seems to be an entirely unneces-
sary piece of business. We have no knowledge
OF the persons engaged in the new enterprise
nor Of their motives in the matter. They
cannot hope for pecuniary gain in entering
upon SO narrow field and one so we'll filled.
There is no proper call for a new paper at
Watervlle. The Mail is an old and well-es-
tabshed paper, which understands the bust.
ness and general interest of its locality
perfectly, and serves them thoroughly. Its
managers are old citizens of the town and
have the respect and confidence of their
townsmen. The Mail has always rated as
one of the very best of the local papers of
Maine. We hope the Watervills people will
not thoughtlessly and from mere love of
change desert an old and faithful friend for a
new and untried one. Any attempt to weak
EN- or break down the Mail will not be for the
interest of the town. If such attempt should
succeed which we do not deem possible-the
people of Waterville may too late come to ap.
preciate the benefit of good, reliable, re-
spectacle, and faithful newspaper in their
midst.

THE Notirn, which has always had soft
side for Tilden, remarks: "The method en-
ployed in deciphering this correspondence has
been explained by the Tribune, and leaves no
room for doubt that the translations are cor
rect. They corroborate McLin's otherwise
doubtful testimony that Marble attempted to
bribe him at the time of the count, a charge
which the latter met at the time by calling
McLin an "ague-smitten pariah." 1t will be
no doubt urged by the Democrats that Tilden
is not connected in any way with the cores
pondence; but any one who tries to believe
this will find his powers of faith sorely taxed.
The discovery of the key to the ciphers used
is great "card' for the Tribune (the Times
pays it the tribute of absolute silence on the
subject), for the anti Tilden Democrats, and
the Republicans, who will no doubt use the
dispatches with effect for the next two
years."

New YORK World: The general feeling on
both sides is that the money question was the
true cause of the defeat of the Democrats, and
the thinking people of the party were unwil-
ing to endorse principles that would lead
again to the financial terrors of the past few

seriously hurts Thurman, especially since his

he remained true to his real principles he
