NEW YORK, Nov.7. The weather pros
poets for tomorrow are not allurlng, &C
cording to the weather bureau. A heavy
storm is now in progress i'll the lake re-
gion, and this evening there is a cold,
driZzllng rain, probably the advance
guard of this same storm. The dura-
ton of the storm, it is predicted, will be
about tWenty-four hours and behind it
is cold wave of considerable strength.
Mr.. Dunn said this morning that the
storm would probably extend from Vir-
ginia northward over the Middle At
lantc and New England states, and
while it might clear off before night, it
was not probable. All over the rest of
the country it will be cold and clear, ac-
cording to present indications.
Arrangements have all been COM
pleted for the election in this city to-
morrow, and there is little for the man
ayers to do except to see that the vote is
properly cast and counted. There will
be large force representing both par
ties at the polls, and if numbers OF
watchers is any evidence Of an honest
vote, the
Ballot VIII BE Pure.
On behalf of the federal authorities,
force OF supervisors, each with a
United States marshaPS certificate, will
watch proceedings at the polls, keep the
peace and watch out for proposed al
legged frauds. John W. JacObus, the
United States marshal of this district,
has sworn in number of these depu.
ties-about 5000 in all-whO will see
that correct vote is cast and counted.
On the other hand, Sheriff German
has taken time by the foreiock, and is
ready to put lot OF men in every cleo
ton district to watch the marshals, and
the police have received their instruc-
lions to watch them all. 1t is therefore
likely that the presence of so much
force will deter either party from any
attempted frauds in this city, and there
is no likelihood now of any violence.
There has been much correspondence
between Mr.. Jacobus, John l. Daven-
port and the Tammany committee OF
lawyers, and little has resulted in the
way of a settlement of the alleged diff
culties. Proclamatlons have been is
sued by the United States district at
torney, Mr.. Mitchell, Gov. Flower,
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, the district attor-
ney, Mr. Nicoll, the attorney general of
the United States. and others, all APP
parently having the same purpose in
vieW-the
Purity of the Election.
The police have had their orders. and
they will be the real preServerS OF the
peace if it comes to any such state as to
require the interference OF anybody.
1t has been claimed by those who
hold to the federal view of the matter
that the deputy marShals have a right
to go within the rails at the polling
places, and that they have many other
rights which the Democratic party man.
ayers say they have not. 1t may be the
courts will be called in to decide, but the
police seem to have decided for every
body, and they are likely to insist
upon their orders being obeyed. Supt.
Byrnes says that he expects no trouble
, tomorrow, and that the police force will
do its duty without fear or favor. He
says that the deputy marshals are acting
under United States law, and that they
will be aided, if necessary, in the en-
| forcement of them, but that he is sure
| that the superiorS of the marShaiS will
not allow any of them to violate the
law any more than they would allow
anybody else to do it. If the federal
representatives break any law tomOr-
row Mr.. Byrnes says that they will be
| as
AmenabIe to the Law
as anybody else. 1t is the general
opinion of the city officers that the
ante election stories Of expected trouble
will amount to as much as they have i'll
! former yearS-that is, much talk and
| very little trouble.
| Judge Barrett said today that from
! the opening to the closing of the polls
| tomorrow the judges of the supreme
court will attend IN turn, two or three
at a time, in their chambers at the
county court house, as has been the Gus.
tom in preceding years. This will
greatly aid the people who may be ar
| rested illegally.
Extraordinary preparations have been
| made In the matter of looking out for all
attempts to vote fraudulently. There
have been filed with United States
Marshal Jacobus about 1000 warrants
sworn out against persons alleged to
have registered Illegally. They will
not be served unless the persons named
try or attempt to vote to morrow. In
formation was received at the mar
shal's Office today that body of 800
COIUIiLCIc WlIOOC uCOIllldllOll WAC OOHCy
Island, has been brought from Pitts
{ burg and other parts of Allegheny
county. The marshal said that he was
prepared to give them
A Warm Reception.
Jacobus has private wire in his
office and is i'll communication with all
parts of the country. The marshal
stated late this afternoon that the limit
of deputy marshals who would do duty
at the polls tomorrow had been placed
at 1000.
Chairman Hackett, of the Republican
state committee, was seen by an ASsoci-
ated Press reporter this afternoon in
regard to dispatch sent out by Lieut..
Gov. Sheehan, alleging that the Repub
lican state committee had sent paster
ballots to Republicans up the state
headed by William Steinway and Rich
