grounds, while it is certain that the
intention to commit crime was absent.
Davenport has been taken sharply
10 task by the district attOrnt y
for assuming power for which he has
no warrant in law, and he will be
judges summarily if he makes any fur
ther politica. play in the abuse of the
authority of his office for partisan effect
and to cover up extensive attempts at
fraud. Everything is against the Re-
publicans to-day. Blaine and Quay are
both sick. The uncr0wned king, whose
speeches have been unaccOuntably
short of late, completely broke down
at Newark Saturday night after he had
uttered but a few words. The chair
man of the Republican national COM
mltttee has been obliged to seek out one
of those periodical rests for which he
has become noted. Sometimes he rests
whsn he goes away to
RECREATE AND PLOT
at Atlantic City, and sometimes he
makes flying trips to places where jobs
are being put up to dist0rt election re-
suits. Young Mrs. Blaine, out of re-
spect for whom the Democratic bands
were hnshed on Saturday as the col
umn passed the New York hotel, is still
very low. 1t has transpired that
her illness took its most serious
phase when she was disturbed by
the noise of the Blaine paradcrs march
ing to the Madison Square garden meet
ing, ana her case was aggravated next
day when she found that her father-in-
law had left town without coming to
see her. There is great deal of indig-
nation among the Irish Catholics here
on account of the belief that the harsh
treatment of this lady is due TO religious
objections on the part of her hus-
bands parents, and especially his
mother. At national Democratic
headquarters the news from all sections
of the country is extremely enoOurag-
ing, and while there is no disposition to
doubt the certainty of carrying the dis
puted Northern stateS-New York, In
diana, Connecticut and New jersey
many leading Democrats will be greatly
surprised if Cleveland has not

Net only Michigan, but Wisconsin,
Iowa, and Illinois send extremely fiat

on mere conjecture, but on solid in
stances OF conversions from Republican
ism and careful canvass OF many To-

received in answer TO the popular call,
and there is urgent need .of all that can
be sent until the very eve OF election.
United States Marshel MacMahOn this
afternoon held conference with all his
principal deputies, six in number. Re-
ports were made on the prevention and
detection of frauds in ever district, and
the general review of the situation was
most satisfactory. The deputies were
minutely instructed as TO their duties
from now until the close of the election.
In several cases the officers were in-

The New ! ork state Democratic COM
mittee has issued the following address:
Headquarters Democratic Slate Committee.
Hoffman EoIse, New York, Oct. 27:
In The closing days of the campaign. the
Democratic state committee is justified in
announcing 10 those who support the nomi-
nations of the Denocratic party that the
electoral votes of the state of New York viii
be cast for Cleveland and Thurman, and that
Hill and Jones will receive q plurality
of the suffrages of their fellow -citi-
zens. The result will -be achieved through
the PATRIOTISM and the earnestness of the
gallant sons of New York, and despite the
misrepresentation and the desperate and
unprineipled efforts Of the Republican lead
ers TO falsify the plain issues before the peo-
pie, and despite most desperate endeavors to
change the vote Of the state by fraud through
colonization ard the wholesale purchase of
votes, the corrupt practices OF which the Re-
publican management of the stale of Penn
sylvania is noted, have been at
tempted 10 be employed in this state,
but the committee announces Wi h
confidence and satisfaction that those
schemes viii fail. This fight is now for
NIChtldllu. luuTludil. NIL ana zones. 1He
schemes of intimidation and buldozing Or
ganized among Republican employers viii
fail as the voters Of the state OF New York
will be protected in the exercise of their
dearest right, no matter what may be at
tempted by corrupt officials placed in
power for life by former Federal ad-
ministrations. The state of New York
can neither be bought Hor defrauded.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty
and every supporter of Cleveland and Thur
man, Hill and Jones throughout the state of
New York should resolve from this moment
out to assist III every way i'll protecting the
purity CT the ballot-box. The committee
feels. in view Of the monlenfous consequence
to result from the casting of the votes
by the people Of the state, that it
has a right to call upon every citi-
zen Yho believes in republican institutions,
free government and popular sovereignty, 10
aid in the protection of the ballot box,
against the integrity and purity Of which The
managers of The national campaign OF the
Republican party are conspiring. The duty
of the citizen is not wholly discharged when
he has cast his vote. He should see that
every other citizen is freely accorded the
right of voting agreeable to his own conyic-
tiOus. Signature.
