MORE FEDERAL MARsnALs.
Swearing Them In by the Hundreds in
New York City.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-[SpecialI-
United States Commissioner Deuel. was
busy this morning in room 43, of the
Federal building, swearing in special
marshals to act at the polls next Tues
day. About 500 men were sworn in last
evening, and it is reported fully 500 will
be sworn in today. United States
Marshal Jacobus, when asked this
morning how many marshals would be
provided, replied that he could not tell.
There will be at least one for each
polling place in the city. That makes
l,l35. Then we will have to employ
some in looking up and arrcsting those
men who have been illegally registered
at many of tho polling places. All men
needed for the proper protection of
CITIZENS and to sec that che laws Of
the United States arc faithfully carried
out will be appointed"
MIR. Jacobus denied the report pub.
lish ID this morning that money for the
payment OF these men came from Re
publican headquarters. lie said thew
were Government employees, and whilo
he did not know the political belief of
all OF them, yet he supposed them to be
republicans, as the national admins.
tratlon was Republican and those in it's
employ should DO of the Same shade of
political belief.
Jacobus also intimated that the mar
shals, in addition to their badges and
warrant OF authority, would be armed,
so that in case OF any conflict with Of
hcers acting under authority from the
State or city, they may be prepared to
exert the authority of the national Gov
ernment, which, he claims, is para
mount to that of the city or State. Mar
shall Jacobus also said that he would be
sorry to see any fight, but. he added,
the mem would be protected in their ef-
forts to see that the law is faithfully
carried out.

CARLISLE IN BOSTON.
He Addresses Large Crowd In Faneuil
Hall

BosToN, Nov. 5.-lSpeciall despite
driving snow storm there was an
immense gathering in Fanueil Hall this
afternoon at the Democratic bust ness
mems meeting. Henry L. Pierre pre-
sided, the other speakers being Hon.
John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, and Hon.
G. f. Williams.
Carlisle said: "The one remaining
question OF the campaign is whether
the election can be bought, whether tho
American people can be bribed with
their own money, wrung from them by
an unjust system of taxation. (Cries of
good. Our forefathers rebelled chiefly
because OF the tax which they consid-
cred unjust--tho tax on imported tea.
1T has been reserved for the Repub
lican party to bestow upon the President
power which King George never DOS
sessed, nor tried TO eXeTcise-the power
to tax at discretion imported tea and
coffee, sugar and hides. Tho minds of
tho people are largely turning away from
analysis of t;riffS and tables statistics
to the great underlying moral question,
is it right to tax many for the benefit
of q few? Onco more brought before
the people on'this issue, and the present
tariff policy is sure to perish as was the
institution of slavery, for it is only after
all matter of degree"
Carlisle denounced the Federal cleo.
tion bill as being un-American and out.
rageous. He called attention to the sill
var legislation OF 1890, and said that
under this Republican policy the peo-
pie had lost SIG, 900, 900, and he doubted
If the people ever lost half or quarter az
much by all the widest banks that ever
existed.
"IIow long" he demanded. "are we
to go on spending the peoples money
for silver and boarding it away in the
treasury? 1t could only be stopped by
the election OF Grover Cleveland and
Democratic Congress"
He declared that on She financial
question the Democratic platform was
sound to the core, while the Republican
platform was rotten to tho core.

Another Letter to Dnycu;,ort

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-lSpscial Tho
Tammany Hall committeu of lawyers
mot again this afternoon and addressed
another letter to Davenport and also
sent copy of the letter to United States
Marshal Jacobus. The letter was signed
by several prominent lawyers, not NOM
bers OF the committee. The letter calls
attention to an opinion rendered by
Justice Brewer, Of the United States
Supreme Court, while he was United
States circuit judge, that federal Of
hcer has no right to arrest a man at the
polls, heroby preventing him voting.
The man should be allowed to vote and
then be arrested. The voter takes the
risk on himself when he votes.
The Congressional committee ;nves-
tigating Davenport resolved to appoint
a subcommittee Of three to sit on elec-
tion day for the purpose of taking such
evidence offered as to the administra-
ton and supervision of the federal cleo
ton laws of New York.
