Special TO the Globe
New YORK. Oct 21.-TO-lay has de-
veloped a further instance OF the des-
perate tactics OF the Republican mana
gers. their efforts to win by deceit and
fraud. Hon. 5. z. Sheerin. secretary of
the national Democratic committee,
teIegTaDhs from indianapolis as follows:
To Col Brice: 3 forged edition OF the
Labor Signal of this city. evidently designed
Tor circulation IN the East. has been issued
Ly the Republicans. The paper processes 10
have changed its politics. Itisa base forgery,
ana shows the desperation TO which the
enemy is driven. The fraud has just been
discovered Please give JnIs wide circula-
ton.
The Labor Signals fearless and com
Dlete exposure Of HarTisOn's inveterate
and bitter hostility to the working men
OF the West has unquestiOnably done
great damage to the Republicans, not
only in Indiana. but throughout the
United States. The aUdaciOus forgery
was undoubtedly resOrted TO for the
purpose of producing false
impression as to the present
course of the paper on labOTers'
and labor organizations at points dis
tant from the place OF its publication.
Democrats should look out for the copies
of this forged issue ana see that the
trick is so thoroughly exposed as TO
react upon its authors. Develop
ments respecting the plan OF Re
publican headquarters to cOlOnize
under the manipulation OF Leeds,
NIcManes and Voorhees, have two
Observation-Disclosures. The first is that
those WORTHLESS have secured the ser
vices OF a number OF PinkeTtOn'S men.
quite needless of the unpOpularltr Of
these men with
THE VOTING MASSES,
of the American people. The second
feature is the distinct accusatian that
the United States supervisor OF elect
ions. John /. Davenport. who holds his
position by appointment Of federal
Judges. majority Of whom
were Republicans, has entered
into an arrangement TO use
the power Of his Office to
promote the Republican interest by Civ
Ing the principal positions under his
control exclusively to Republicans. a
rigid investigation into this matter will
commence at once, and unless Mr.. DaY-
enport can clear his skirts of the charge
of partisan favoritism he will
have to answer to the judges
for his conduct in a very sharp and
summary way. The only New York
congressional district in which defeat
of the nominee would be at all likely to
result in the election of a Republican
is the Ninth. in which Tammany hall
has nominated Mr.. Dunishy against
the present incumbent. Brice. who
is the candidate Of the County
Democracy. In all the other districts
the Democrats are sure. and they will
gain a member by the election of Fitch.
1t is still probable that in the Seventh
district the difficulty will be bridged.
The Republican vote there is not large
enough to destroy the chances OF the
Democrats success even with these
three candidates in the field.
This week will be the busiest of the
campaign. There will be many meet
ings every night of the different organ
izatOns. commencing with the cOnven-
ton of the Democratic Union veterans
tomorrow. On Thursday the county
Democracy will hold
ITS GREAT MEETING
at Cooper institute, which viii be ad-
dressed on national issues by speakers
,---r-,,o1 l,r- tho r,o+70r,o1 ao,,,,y,5++oo ~,
state issues by those furnished by the
state committee, and on local matters al
the close Of the meeting BY
local orators. The preparations for
the great merchants parade, which
will be reviewed by President
Cleveland Saturday, are such as to in
dicate that it will be more magnificent
than any political demonstration that
has ever been held in New York. The
best-InfOrmed Democratic lawyers say
that neither Supervisor Davenport nor
any one else can accomplish any
thing in the way of interfering
with full ana free election.
There can be no repetition of the
infamous practice OF indiscrlminate ar
rests so as to prevent legitimate voting
which occurred under Republican rule
some years ago. The impression is
that more than half Of the fuss the Re-
publicans are now making about Mr..
Davenport is merely to give cOnse-
uuence to a scheme which is al
ready thoroughly baf1ied by investiga-
ton and exposure. All that the
Pam rbIic9y1 be9dOu9rtprS crowd ara do
ing is well known, and there will be
nothing to occur n prevent a full and
honest vote OF the great Democratic
metropolis. Gov. Hill left the CITY this
evening after a conference with Hon.
William c. Whitney, secretary of the
navy. and Col. Brice. chairman of the
national Democratic campaign commit
tee. He is much pleased with his re
ception yesterday in Connecticut. lie
will speak in the state of New York
nearly every day during the next two
weeks. One thousand Democratic
meetings viii be held in the state be-
G,re election. at very late
bour qst night there was some
betting a. - Gown rr1yr5 Zoos No
Cormick. a well-khOwn turfman, bet
5000 with John L. Hill, of PhiIadeI-
phfa. that Cleveland will be elected.
and there were many even bets of large
sums offered on Cleveland, but not
taken. Jefferson NJ. Levy, the owner
of Monticello, offers to bet 500 to $500
that the state of Iowa will 90 for CIeve-
land.
