Managers In New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Chairman Carter and
all the other members Of the republican IA
uonal executive were at headquarters early
this morning. With every evidence of increased
confidence they gave assurance that victory for
the republican ticket was already secure, but
they expressed determination to let no lack OF
vigilance at the eleventh hour place that vic
tory in jeopardy.
Chairman Carter was asked his opinion OF
the situation as it stands with regard to Chair
man sneehans instructions to his local subor-
uinates concerning the stand taken BY the De-
partment of Justice respecting the relations OF
federal and state officials at the polls
Mr. carter replied that he had nothing to say
otner than he understood the controversy to be
between Mr.. Sheehan and the United States
government. and he apprehended the govern
ment was abundantly able to take care of itself
and to perform its obligation to the people in
full.
DISCUSSING CHANCES OF TROUBLE.
There was more talk about John l. Daven-
port than anything else around the political
headquarters OF both parties this morning
Most of the politicians had given
up prophesying, claiming it is too
near election day for that. and
instead they were discussing the sensational
possibility of big clash between federal and
state authority on next Tuesday. None of the
chiefs will admit they anticipate any
trouble. Nevertheless the republicans say
that the federal supervisors and deputy
marshals will go anywhere around the polling
booths that they deem necessary and the demo-
Gratis say that if the marshals do they will be
elected by force and arrested if they resist. 1t
is understood that the police force of this city
Will be instructed to arrest all federal marshals
who attempt to 90 within the guard rail-
Democratic national committeeman would say
little this morning about the federal marshals
at the polls, but it is understood that they fear
trouble if the opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Miller is acted upon. The ma
tional committee approves the action of the
state committee in advising citizens to arrest
marshals who violate the state law, and it Is
likely that Chairman Harrity will be heard
from on this question before next Tuesday. He

The democratic national committee say that
one result of this trouble over United States
marshals will be to give the people a foretaste
of the operations of the force bill and thereby
cause the loss of many votes to the republican
party.
AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS.
At the republican national and state head
quarters it was said that the marshals would GER
tainly go within the rails at the polls, and that
no authority. state or city, had any right to
prevent them from so doing.
The republicans claim to have positive evil
dence that the democrats are going to attempt
to carry the election in Indiana by bribery and
that $50 900 has been sent to indianapolis for
the purpose of buying votes.
At democratic headquarters the leaders pro-
TESS to have no anxiety about the result in New
York. They now count it as sure for Cleveland.
New Jersey is looked upon in the same way
and all of the southern states arc
figured upon for their old-tme majorties.
There was much excitement about the Fed
eral building this morning. Before the fifty
eight prisoners taken from Randal's Island
were brought in their cases were argued before
Judge Benedict by Lawyer Wheeler on "a mo-
ton for a reduction of bail. The motion was
opposed by the district attorney, but neverthe-
less bail was reduced to 81 600.

arrest made this morning. The man was W.

ization of voters. He will be examined during
