BEFORE the ELECTION .

New York, Nov. 5-As every body ex-
pected, this he's bt on an uneFentful day
in New York. There has not even been
aroorbaoh worth writing about seriously.
The Evening World tiled to omannfasture
a sensation out OF an alleged plan to
defeat one of the democratic electors by
pastors, claiming that it was part OF a
a widespread conspiracy to steal one or
two electors in every democratic state.
but the other papers--democratic and
republican alike-declined to echo the
Worlds outcTy and the mythical
great conspiracy will cut no figure
IN the history of Tomorrow q
election. There is story abroad
tonight that Pinkerton detectives in
the service of the republican national
committee have discovered dangerous
plot on the part of the democratic cam
palgn managers end that the republic
have taken prompt and effective means
to defeat it. No one outside f the man
ayers have been told what this plot is.
There may be sensation in it to-
morrow or we may have heard the last
OF ii tonight. The most interesting
