the Local Officers II Interfered with.
! NEW YORK, Nov. 5-An afternoon newspa-
! per says: 1t was rumored about the Federal
building this morning that the United States
grand jury, which is considering John
l. Davenports charges. was about to
act in the case of three city officers,
who were said to have been accused of abetting
J illegal registration. The names of the three
| ofhcers could not be learned. but il was stated
on good authority that one Of the three persons
was police justice and the other two we're city
hall officers.
The three, it was alleged. had attempted as
Davenport alleged. to colonize voters in two or
three different districts.
| SWEARING IN DEPUTY MARsHAIs.
! United States Commissioner Deuel. was busy
this morning in room forty-three in the Federal
building swearing in special msrshals to act at
the polls next Tuesday. About 800 men were
sworn IN last evening and it is reported that
fully 300 men will be sworn in today. United
States Marshal Jacobus when asked this morn
| ing how many special marshals would be pro-
| vided replied that he could not tell
There Will be at least one for each polling
place In the city. That makes lbs. Then
they will have TO employ some in looking up
ana arresting those men who have been illegally
registered al many of the polling places. All
the men needed for the proper protection of
the citizens and to that the laws of the
United states are faithfully carried out will be
appointed"
Mr. Jacobus denied the report published this
| morning that the money for the payment for
these men came from the republican head
quarters He said that they were government
employees, and while he did not know the
beil"f OF all of them, yet he supposed them to
be republicans. the national administration
was republican, and those in it's employ should
be OF the same shade of political belief.
Mr.. Jacobus also intimated that the marshals,
IN addition to their badges and warrant of
authority. would be armed so that in of
any conflict with officers acting under author
lty from the state city they NAV be prepared
to exert the authority of the national govern
ment. which he claims is paramount to that of
the city state. Marshal Jacobus also said he
should be sorry to any fight, but he added
the men would be protected in their efforts to
see that the law was faithfully carried out.
THE CAMPAIGN PRACTICALLY ENDED.
The presidential campaign of 1892 is practi-
cally ended. The managers have sent out their
final instructions. the subordinates at the va
rious headquarters are starting for home to
VOTE and if any work il done at the political
headquarters within the next few days it will
be done behind closed doors and the public is
not likely to hear of it.
Old political observers say that as far as per-
sonalities are concerned. this has been the
ceanest campaign since the days of Monroe
and 1.-The era of good feeling"
CHAIRMAN RARRITYs VIEW.
Chairman Harrity today summed up the stu
alton from democratic standpoint as follows:
Il cannot put it any stronger than to say that
I am entirely confident of the result. We
will carry the solid south 159 votes),
New York, Indiana New Jersey Wis
consln, Michigan, and. | think. Con-
necticut We confidently expect that
Weaver will get the entire votes of several
can. We are confident of victory"
FIGURES OF REPUBLICAN MANAGERS
The republican managers figure up OF votes
for Harrison in the electoral college. Chairman
Carter. Mr.. Manley and Gen. Clarkson declined
to furnish any figures.
Chairman HaCkett of the republican state
committee says that Harrison will come down
to the city line with SO. 900 majority and that
New York state can positively be counted upon
for Preside Mt Harrison.
The betting this morning was two to one that
Cleveland will carry New York state and even
on the general result.
EXCITEMENT OVER DEPUTIES

of the Amalgamated Association ard sufferers

certain polling booths and capture the vote of

morning received a dispatch from Secretary
Mead of the Philadelphia city democratic
,.,,. IL.
Philadelphia fremen had been ordered to this
city to be sworn in Z. S. deputy marshals |
Chairman Harrity gave instructions to have
the matter investigated ut once. The pre- !
sumption is that this is move made at the re-
quest of Dave Martin. who desires to have
some of his 'trusty workers. at the polls in
