In conclusion tho address says: "Let
vigilance at every poll guard tho ballot
box against bribery, let every Democratic
vote be cast, let every Democrat strive TO
be fret in the cause Of reunion and
reform."
There had been somo nervousness among
the Democrats outside of tho movements
Of the leaders about the purpose of John
Kelly to prevent union between tho
Iammany aud Irving Hall wings on q
municipal ticket, aod the approhensions
had given rise to all manner of absurd
rumors about Kelly selling out to Arthur
to give the State to Garfield. All such
aharges in regard to Kelly are utterly un-
founded. He gavo tho most positive con-
traoiction to it himself, and his friends

faotorily settled and tho Democracy will
make their battle for Hancock ono of
uncxampied enthusiasm, energy and deter
mination to win. Kelly Gays that New
York is certain to cast her vote for Hau-
cock, and all the Democratic leaders arc en-
tireIy confident of victory in the State.
They understand that tho baltic will be one
OF the most desperate VIC have cvor witnessed.
but it is certain that Kelly means the
election Of Hancock and thut he does not
doubt the success Of the Demooraoy in his
State.
Simultaneous with the rally in New
York there will be a general raly along
the whole Hancock line in New Hamn.e
shire, Maine, Connecticut, New Jersey
Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada and Cnl;.

native State, and they mean to contest il n,
every step to save Congressman and employ
Republican money and visiting states.-
men at home. You may depend upon i,
that the struggle in Pennsylvania viii wear
q very different aspect from what it docs
now a week hence. Maine, Connecticut
and New Han. p shire will all be desperately
disputed within the next two weeks, and
New Hampshire is regarded as the most
likely OF the three to vote for Hancock.
while the other two will be contested with
the determination 10 win them. Jones is
a host in New Hampshire, aud his election
as Governor is not improbable, while Han
cock is regarded as stronger than the State
ticket. Both sides seem afraid Of Maine
aud Connecticut, and the party that carries
them, or either of them, will earn the
victory before enjoying it.
The Republicans are coufident Of Garfields
election, but they confess that tho race
will bc desperate aud close one. They
admit that US soon as the Democrats rally
the South will be solidifed for Hancock
and that they must carry New York to
succeed. 1t is noticeable tonight that the
certainty Of entire unity between Irving
and Tammany has greatly soberod the
leaders at Jewell's headquarters. but they
count on the Indiana tide to float them
through, ond still claim solid Electoral
vote in the North for Garfield
The police board this morning adopted
resolutions instructing Superintendent
Walling and the police captains to make
dilligent search for all persons who have
arrived or may arrive in this city for the
purpose of illegal Registration and voting
They were also notified to make reports In
all suspected cases in order that warrants
OF arrest may be promptly obtained.
