Active Efforts Being Exerted by Sew
eral Cities to Secure That
Privilege.
Cincinnati and Milwaukee Are
Leading for tho Democratic
National Convention.
sprlnger's Free Wool Bill Iatrodnced in
tho House-But Little Done In
Either Branch.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.--The most conf
dent cities in the race for the democratic
national convention tonight are undoubed-
ly Cincinnati and Milwaukee. The delega-
tion from Cincinnati is already speaking
confidently Of the ultimate support of New
York. while Milwaukee people are counting
finally on the votes Detroit may get on the
first ballot. New York and Detroit, how
ever, are not nt all disposed to concede the
somewhat presumptive claims of their
rivals as yet There is talk about Cleveland
and Hill advocates favoring certain cities,
but those with authority earnestly deny the
statement and appear Indifferent as to the
place OF holding the convention. Notwith-
standing this, there is evident anxiety to
know where Hill, German and Brice want
the convention to 70.
The contest for the convention is becom-
ing very interesting and every incoming
train brings additional delegations from the
competing cities. The delegation from
Milwaukee, headed by Gov. Peck. is the
largest. Its members assert with conf
dsnce that their city will lead all the others
on the first ballot. Indianapolis people are
doing some effective work in quiet way.
The chief argument urged against Indian
apolis by representatives Of other con-
testing cities, yesterday, is that it has a
presidential aspirant, ex-Gov. Gray, but
Indianapolitans say there is nothing in
this.
II is evident that Cincinnati is one of the
most formidable competitors for the con-
vention, and the labor Of Senator Brice in
behalf of that city, and the we'll known
fact that he holds the proxies of several
absent members, makes the Cincinnati
delegation quite confident of their ultimate
success. Kansas City claims ten votes upon
the first ballot. The st. Paul delegation
acknowledges the chances Of that city are
being inlperilled by the somewhat general
grievances of the press against Minneapolis
for the alleged failure of the latter city to
make proper accommodations for the press
during the coming republican convention,
but Secretary Baker insists that this griev-
ance against Minneapolis should not oper-
ate to the prejudice of st. Paul, as that city
has ample hotel facilities.
IA meeting of the executive committee Of
ths national association Of democratic
clubs was held here to-day. 1t was decided
to hold meeting Of the general committee
of the association at the place of the ma
tional democratic convention, on the same
date, which will be decided upon by the
national executive committee here to-1nor-
row. The report of the secretary shows
that there are between five and six thou
sand clubs on the rolls, every state and ter
ritory being represented. ..z

BIRMISaHAM, ALA, Nov. s, 1892,
The round up Of the campaign in Alabama Is
attracting national interest. 1t looks more than
ever now like there will be a conflict between
the citizens and local authorities on one side
and the federal authorities ON the other side
on election day. The situation is serious. to
say the least The zeal of each political party
in its effort to carry the state has aroused more
intense feeling than has ever be.
fore been manifested in campaign
in this state. The lines are very
closely drawn, and the mild campaign of a
month ago has developed into o red hot politi.
cal battle for supremacy. All sorts Of plans
and schemes are being resOrted to by both Sides
1t seems TO be case where the smartest man
will win.
Here is the history Of the matter of the ap-
pointment Of deputy marshals to DO on hand
at the polls which has caused SO much talk of
late and has even found its way into the Office
Of the Attorney General at Washington: On
Monday N. L. Wood. a citizen Of Selma, Ala,
in Dallas county, where q very large negro
population predominates. telegraphed Gen.
Chas. W. Shelley, chairman Of the state demo.

United States marshals were being appointed
at the polling places in that county. MI. Wood
wanted to know what could be done about il, as
the law allowed such deputies around the polls
only in cities Of 70, 900 inhabitants or more
Gen. Shelley answered him as follows:
"The appointment Of deputy marshala for
election purposes, outside Of Birmingham, No

OFFICIALS AT THE POLLS.
Rights of Federal Supervisors and Depu
Marshals Defined by Dem ocrats

Rights of Federal Supervisors and Deputy
Marshals Defined by Dem ocrats.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Nov. 4-The democratic
state committee has issued to Arkansas election
officers a circular defining the rights of United
States supervisors and deputy marshals at cleo
tons, which after outlining those rights and
duties continues: at is said that United
States deputy marshals will be appointed at the
various precincts in this state and take charge
Of the elections. There is no authority in the
federal statutes which authorizes this except
in cities Of 10000 or more inhabitants
Hence the only place in Arkansas where
deputy marshals can be appointed is in the city
of Little Rock. it being the only city in the state
with as many as 20 900 inhabitants. Therefore,
if any deputy United States marshals should be
appointed anywhere except in Little Rock, it
would be without authority of law. and it will
be the duty of peace officers of the county
to uphold and maintain the state law
in keeping the peace at the voting pre-
cincts. and a deputy marshal can exercise
no more authority at the election precinct
If they should undertake to take charge of the
voting precinct or booth or attempt officially
to do anything in controlling or influencing the
election or violate in any manner the state
statutes they should be arrested by the sheriff,
whose duty it is to preserve the peace at the
election precincts and see that q fair expression
OF the will Of the people is had.
"In the exercise of the duties and functions
which the law, both state and federal imposes
upon you the greatest caution should be pre-
served to do nothing rashly or outside Of the
law. and special pains she uld be taken to pre-
vent any disturbance or breach of the peace.
At the same sine no willful violation Of the law
by parties acting under the assumed authority
Of the United States marshal should be toll
Grated"

She Outwitted Her Husband and Defied the
French Police Authorities.
PARIS. Nov. Another great sensation has
developed in the Deacon case. As soon as the
tribunal OF the Seine delivered it's decision dis
missing Mrs. Deacon's suit for divorce and
ordering that the eldest child, then in
q convent, be delivered up to Mr..
Deacon, Mrs. Deacon FASTENED secretly
to the Convent of Our Lady of the
Assumption in the Department of the Marine,
bent upon carrying off the child, and thus both
defving the authority of the French court and
battling Mr. Deacon. The svmpathies of the
nuns Of the convent and of the people of the
neighborhood have been with Mrs. Deacon,
who was known to the latter as la Princess
Americana" and was much beloved for her
kindness to the poor and suffering. When Mrs.
Deacon arrived the news Of the courts decision
unknown at the convent, and Mrs. Deacon
was admitted as usual.
But little is known of what occurred within
the walls. Mrs Deacon had a carriage at the
gate and she seemed calm and serene as usual
evidently supervising her emotions in order not
to excite suspicion. She asked and obtained
leave to take the elder Of the children to ride
and after kissing the younger tenderly she
walked with the former to the carriage.
At first she drove slowly, but increased her
speed US the convent and the adjoining group
Of houses disappeared from view.
Mr.. Deacon drove up to the convent shortly
after his wife had gone. He was amazed and
maddened when he learned the situation, but
no more amazed than the lady superior when
she learned the strategy Of the good Mrs.
Deacon Mr.. Deacon at once appealed to
the police, who readily joined him in attempt
ing to overtake mis- wife. Ii seems impossible
that she could escape from France, as the police

Schemes to the Republicans.
DETROIT, MIcH., Nov. 4.-Daniel J. Campan,
chairman OF the democratic central committee,
today Issued an address ito the honest voters
Of Michigan" of which the following is a part:
I'VE have positive information that the re-
publicans have instructed all the county and
subordinate committees in this state to see to it
that al least three democrats in every school
district in the state are induced to stay away
from the polls. II this plan were successful it
would mean the absence of very large num-
Der of democrats from the polls on election day.
The methods to be adopted to secure this alb
sentation can safely be judged from the ways and
means adopted IN the past to deliver the votes
of the blocks of five and fioaters generally in
doubtful states. Every possible effort should
be made throughout Michigan to counteract the
effect of this di'gracefGl work. l urge every
friend Of an honest ballot and every foe of cor
porate encroachment upon individual rights to
see that none OF his friends are absent from the
poils.
