New YORK. Nov. 7.-[Special telegram to
THE HERALD. lone Of the most significant
of the final incidents of the campaign is
the backdown of Acting Attorney General
Aldrich from the position regarding the
presence of United States officials inside
the guard rails of the polling places. Mr..
Aldrich now says in reference TO the
United States marshals and subordinate
federal officers:
Ordinarily it will only be necessary
that they should be sbqit outside READY for
any emergency that ms arises In other
words they are to berg ordinary cases
spectators of the volsEg only. In the
management of the elep ions they are out
siders, not insiders, and the only pratence
for their going inside that can arise must
relate to the election of members of con-
gress.
AS to presidential electors and all other
state officers, under the decision IN the
Miner cases, they have no function what
ever within the guard rails of the polling
places. This is precisely the point for
which New York Democratic lawyers,
under the guidance of ex-Secretary VIII
liam G. Whitney, have resolutely con-
tended, and their lucid exposition Of law
has scored q great victory for free cleo
tions under existing statutes. The result
also conveys striking lesson on the force
bill, the enacting Of which would be Sc.
cured if Harrison should be elected AM
would sweep away all the home rule bar
riers between the people of locality anc
absolutely centralize power
Chairman Thomas TGzgart, OF tsg Endi-
ana state committee, tee graphs as feIIows
I'VE have received kilograms from avery
county in the state that we are in good
shape and ready for the contest. We have
sent instructions all along the line, and
would say to you that Indiana will be in
{ line for the entire Democratic ticket by g
large plurality"
MIR. S. 2. Sheerin, the l.! diana member
and secretory Of the Democratic national
committee, who has just returned from his
state. SAYS that the demon stration of its
Democracy by tomorrow'd election is as
sure as the rising and setting of the sun.
Nothing whatever has occurred to shake
Democratic confidence in q great triumph
tomorrow, but on the contrary every indi-
cation points towards universal Gland
slide" to Cleveland and Stevenson.
The business associates of Mr.. II. B. Van
ingen have furnished the papers tonight ar
Indignant and scornful denial of the wild
yarn ascribed by the Republicans to Col
onel Tom Ochillree that Mr.. yaningen hac
gone abroad to collect BItish gold for the
Democrats. 1t seems Incredible that the
managers of great political party should
have resorted to so gross fabrication an(
SO easily refuted.
Dispatches received at the Democratic
natione headquarters are from Wisconsin,
West Virgmis, Virginia and Indiana. They
all report Democratic success as certain
and Chairman Harrily says that ne and hi!
associates, having completed the work O
the campaign, await the result Of the voting
with absolute contentment in the assurance
that signal victory will be won.
