Mr.. Cleveland will speak tonight in
Jersey City.
The Iroquois Club, of Chicago, held
a great democratic meeting i'll the au-
ditorium last night. Gen. Adlai +.
Stevenson and Hon. William NJ.
Springer were the principal speakers.
Hon. Charles s. Fairchild, cx-Sccre-
tary of the Treasury, illustrated forci-
bly, the benefit of cheap raw material i'll
speech before the wholesale dry
goods democratic club of New York
yesterday evening.
Chairman Sheehan, of the New York
democratic State committee, left for
Buffalo last night and will not return
until after election. He said before his
departure that he felt perfectly sure of
his State and that Mr.. Cleveland's plu-
rality would be large enough not to re-
quire any explanation.
There is no longer any doubt as to
the fact of a general understanding be-
tween the democrats and independents
in Nevada to cast their combined vote
ior the Weaver and Field electors, and
with any sort of response from the rank
and file to their leaders call, fight and
fume rs they may, the republicans will
not be able to overcome it.
Judge Speer, OF the United States
Supreme Court in Georgia, has declar-
ed all registration laws in Georgia in
operative. lie asserts that the laws,
in order 10 become constitutional, must
be uniform. AS the present laws are
all local they are therefore uncoustitu-
tional. The effect of this decision is to
make everybody in tina State eligible
upon taking an oath that he has paid
his taxes.
The republican national committee is
making dead set for Virginia, be-
licving that the fusion here between the
populists and the republicans helps
them. and a lot of money was sent to
this State yesterday. Senator German
is paying special attention to Virginia
and West Virginia. Chairman Gordon
is in constant communication with the
democratic national committee and is
alive to all the republican moves.
Daniel ]. Campau, chairman of the
Michigan democratic State central COM
mittee, says: II have no hesitation in
saving that the news from Michigan
will be cheering to the eastern democ-
racy. will say that majority of the
electors of Michigan will cast their
votes in the electoral college for Grover
Cleveland. We shall return over half
the Representatives in Congress. We
shall elect the Governor OF the State
and much, if not all, of the State ticket,
and legislature that will clecta demo-
cratic United States Senator. This will
be glory enough for one day"
Yesterday WAS by long odds the
greatest day of the kind Canandaigua
or Ontario county, n. y. has ever
seen. The occasion which drew to the
town thousands of people from the ad-
Joining counties was an address deliv-
cred by Senator Hill. \ conservative
estimate places the number of peo-
pie who gathered that day from
out of town ut 1900. Mr..
Hill made most telling speech,
closing as follows "You do not ex-
pect me in this late day of the cam
paign to eulogize our candidates. The
time is past for that 1t is also past for
fault lindng-if any one has griev-
ance it is no time now to air it. If l
had any grievance | would not take
this time to refer to it. The thing 10
do now is to close ranks and march for
ward to victory"
There was a great democratic dem
onstration at Tammany Hall, New
York last night. at which a hundred or
ators spoke To thousands of men gath
cred inside and outside thewiswam.T The
rally occurred in and around Tam
many Hall, and was successful beyond
the most sanguine expectations. 1t
was the second and last demonstration
of the Tammanyites. A notice was
sent to every member of the organiza-
ton to be on hand and bring as many
with him as possible. The result was a
mammoth celebration in support of
Cleveland and Stevenson, such as has
not been seen in New York for many
years, and such as fully justified Tam
many's pretensions to be the chief po-
litical organization of the nineteenth
century. Senator German sent o strong
letter declaring that the work of Tam
many and Senator Hill have made 1t
absolutely certain that the electoral
vote of New York will be cast for the
democratic candidates. Speeches were
made by Senators Eustis, of Louisiana,
and Carlisle, of Kentucky. Hons. w.
H. ]. Ham, the Georgia story teller,
and ]. D. w. Warner, of New York.
Chairman Harrity. of the national
democratic committee. after receiving
the DAYS news, said last night: Mr..
Cleveland will be elected next Tues
day. He will get at least 2H electoral
votes. The democracy will carry all
the Southern States and New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and
Wisconsin and six of the electoral votes
of Michigan" Although he has felt
confident for several days. Mr.. Harrity
has never uttered formal assurance of
victory until now. Nothing can take
New York away from u.s." said Lieut..
Gov. Sheehan, and Mr.. Murphy con-
firmed him. IF there was any doubt
of our carrying New York it has been
removed by Senator Hills splendid
speeches, of which the strong cry is:
He who votes against Grover Cleve-
