WASHINGTON, Nov. .-ISpecialI-
Acting Attorney General Aldrich to-day
made an important statement with
reference to tho authority of the United
States deputy marshals to supervise
elections, in which he announces that
all persons who atteupt to interfere
with these officers bring themselves
within the scope OF tho criminal stat
utes of tho United States regardless of
whether or not they act under any State
or municipal statute. He says that in
view of those statutes it is not thought
that any person or combination of per-
sons will seek, in any way, to interfere
with the marshals in the discharge of
their duties, but that any such intorfer-
ences with bo vigorously prosecuted.
The statement begins by say ing that
tho attention of the Department of jus
tico has been called to certain alleged
instructions to the police and State Off
GERS in Alabama, Arkansas and New
York with reference to their conduct
toward deputy United States marshals
at the polls 1t declares that the mar
shals are there as peace officers and
that their instructions are not to allow
discrimination for or against any party
but to secure ian honest ballot and q
fair count"
1t denies the doctrine of the suprem
acy of States over the United States in
this matter Of elections and says that
the impression that the Federal Gov
ernment ''is a foreign power" should
be obliterated. 1t says that the state
mont that section 2,021 is the only sec
ton authorizing the appointment of
deputy marshals, and therefore that
such appointments can be made only in
cities OF 20, 600 inhabitants or upward is
not the view entertained by the attor-
ney general or himself, nor has such
view been held by any preceding attor-
ncy general. With reference to the
question whether deputy marshals have
tho right TO BIO within tho guard rail of
the polling places it is said has been
answered in the attorney generals cir
cular of October 31st last, and that the
statutes are SO clear and explicit that
no room is seen for discussion.
The statement concludes: 1.-THE laws
must BIO enforced. Marshals are warned
under the penalties OF the law against
any interference with the rights of citi-
zens, and at the Same time they will
guard and protect such rights at what
ev,r cost"
Instructions in accordance with these
views will be sent to United States mar
shals in all parts of the country.

BLUNDER IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Democratic Electoral Tickets Were
all Printed in Illegal Form

CHARLEsToN,S. c., Nov. al Special -
There is danger Of the loss of tho vote Of
tho State to Cleveland. 1t was discovered
today that serious error had been
made in the printing of the Democratic
electoral ticket in this State, which
would have resulted in tho entire Demo
cratic electoral vote being thrown out
on accout of illegal tickets. AS it is the
tickets have been in the hands of the
commissioners of election and county
committee for some time and been partly
distributed. Therein lies the danger.
1t is hard to tell what proportion of
tickets sent out from the State commit.
tee headquarters are illegal. Most of
those hoard from are sixteenth of an
inch too long, somo too small and some
too large. The law says they must be
i've by two and half inches in size.
The responsibility for this serious err
through the hands of tho executive COM
mittee. w. &. Albergotti, on behalf of
the executive committee of Orangeburg
county, which discovered the error,
came to the city and called on the sec.
rotary, submitting that all the tickets
sent that county for State and county
as we'll as electoral purposes failed to
come up to requirements.
Then it came to light that the dis
covery of tho illegal tickets had been
made prior to the coming of Mr.. Alber-
gotti and that Secretary Tomplsins had
ordered the printer to print now ones.
He says he cannot tell how many
illegal tickets have gotten into the
hands of the voters, but they were all
distributed a week or so ago. He states
he has sent out warning notices to each
county chairman and all commissioners
of election and does not think any
harm will come from it if they all act
promptly and theoretically. Mr.. Temp.
kins fails to account for the error.

managers of the national campaign be-
gan to go out over private wires this
morning. They were addressed to the
chairman of the State committee in
each State, but the nature of the in
structionS was not disclosed to the

The Democratic campaign managers
were on duty at national headquarters

the fact that long hours of work arc

cans who are work ing night and day in
the close states to win them for their
national ticket. Evidence is pouring
into the Democratic headquarters that
the Republicans are making desperate
efforts to carry Connecticut. West Vir-
ginia and Alabama.
The Democrats also claim to havo in
formation that in Virginia the Republi-
cans have effected a combination with
tho Third party, by which the latter
agrees to support the Harrison electors
and the Republicans to support the
Third party candidates for Congress.
A long telegram was received from
tho Democratic headquarters at Chicago
to day, the substance Of which was that
the Republicans are much discouraged
over the outlook in Illinois. while the
situation was daily getting brighter for
the Democrats
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan thinks
the Democratic majority in this State
will be 10000, while Mr.. Hackett saws
