MIR. MILLER NOT APPREHENsIvE.

The Attorney General Does not Look for
any Trouble at the Polls.
Attorney General Miller has returned to
Washington. He discontinued his efforts in
the Indiana campaign last Saturday and the
same evening took the train for this city.
Coincident with his return the statement is
authorized that United States deputy marshals
will not wantonly force themselves behind the
guard rails at election booths in New York
city and will only 60 beyond the limit pre-
scribed by the state law in order to make ar
rests or preserve the peace.
To STAR reporter today Attorney General
Miller explained the cause OF his return.
Il thought that might be of more use here
than in Indiana" he said, "in case of any un-
usual events occurring anywhere"
When asked if he really anticipated trouble
he replied that he did not; that he relied on the
good sense and patriotism Of the people in
charge Of the polling places to prevent viola
tions Of law and breaches Of the peace. The
United States deputy marshals are supposed to
be good citizens and their instructions are ex-
plicit-not to be aggressive or to provoke hos
tiiilies.
Attorney General Miller said he feels sure
that deputy marshas will not invade the poll
ing places without cause or endeavor to show a
wantOn exercise Of authority.

He Says Cleveland IL as Good as Elected
Now.
Senator Arthur T. German was in the city
today, seemingly just as placid as he might ap-
pear were there no presidential election within
two or three years.
II shall be at home until after election" i" said
the Senator to a STAR reporter who met him on
the avenue. Il came home as soon as my work
elsewhere was done, and tomorrow expect TO
vote for the next President" And he smiled a
small modest, Cleveland sort Of a smile.
Yes" he continued, that remark might be
regarded as indicative of certainty on my part
as to the identity Of the next President Let
me say very frankly that for two weeks past
there has never been any doubt in my mind as
TO Mr.. Cleveland's success. Beyond question
he will win.
New York is sure bv good MAJORITY am
not dealing in figures now-while both Indiana
and Connecticut are equally safe.
West Virginia? 1t will continue TO belong
to us. We shall not lose a southern vote
Under some circumstances the republicans
might have gained temporary advantage
in places heretofore democratic but
for the action of the government in
extensively enforcing a statute which will per-
init the employment Of deputy marshals at the
polls. That gives the people practical idea as
TO what might be expected were the force bill q
law.
Il shall not attempt to tell you what our
New York majority will be, but you may be
satisfied with the assurance il Is going 10 be
large enough. Cleveland is rs good as elected
now."

The leaders at both national headquarters are
absolutely in the dark as 20 the results OF to-
morrow's election. Claims and predictions
from both sides are made without bnsis. The
betting Is absolutely valueless indication
Of probability Of results. The whole thug is q

doubtful states, through which none can zee.
The democrats come nearer feeling confident
about Indiana than they do about New York
And neither party has any basis for confidence
In either.
A confidential and frank statement on either
side shows that the leaders find Themselves ~
much in doubt as is any private citizen. aud
whatever predictions prove true Il viii b. not

slightly toward the republicans study of the
claims made by Representative men Of both par
ties shows that the chances seem 20 be ~ favor
of republican success. Unless there il some
unexplai ned landslide in the west the req blichns
can win by carrying one of the states ad-
mittedlv close while the democrats TO win
must carry all. There are five Of those states:
New York, Indiana. Delaware. Connecticut and
West Virginia. To put Delaware and Vest
Virginia doubtful il unusual. but there Is no
doubt that republican chances Of success there
are fully as good a. democratic. This -
especially true of Delaware.
Clarkson. MaDley and Harrity give their esti-
mates and IL is apparent from a study Of these
that unless the democrats get New York. lndl-
ana and at least one Of the other three they
cannot win. while New York. OF Indiana. or the
three smaller ones would elect Harrison.
