NEW YORK, Nov. THE weather pros
poets for tomorrow are not allnring. Ac-
eording to the Weather Bureau heavy
storm is now in progress in the lake region.
and this evening there is falling here q cold.
drizzling rain, which is probably the ad-
vance guard of the same storm. The storm
tomorrow will probably extend from Vir-
ginia northward over the middle Atlantic
and New England States. and while it may
clear off before night, the Weather Bureau
says 1t is not probable. All over the rest Of
the country 1t will be cold and clear. ac-
COrding TO present indications.
Arrangements are all completed for the
election IN this city tomorrow. On behalf
of the Federal authorities force Of super
ysors and Deputy United States Marshals
viii watch the proceedings at the polls,
keep the peace and watch out for alleged
proposed frauds. There will be 6000 or 1000
supervisors and deputies. Sheriff German
is also ready to put lot of men in every
election district to watch the Marshals, and
the police have received instructions to
watch them all 1t is therefore likely that
the presence of so much force will deter all
parties from any attempted frauds.
II is the general opinion of the city off,
GERS that all the ante-election stories of eX-
pected trouble will amount to as much as
they have in former years-that is, much
talk and very little trouble.
Judge Barrett said to-day that from the
opening to the closing Of the polls to-mor-
row the Judges of the Supreme Court will
attend in turn. two of them at time, in
their chambers at the county courthouse,
as has been their custom in preceding years.
This will greatly aid people who may be ar
rested illegally.
Information was received at the United
States MarshaPs Office to-day that body Of
Island, had been shipped from Pittsburg
and other parts of Allsghany County.
Chairman Hsckett Of the Republican
State Committee WAS seen by an Associated
Press reporter this afternoon in regard to a
dispatch sent out by Lieutenant-Governor or
Sheehan, alleging that the Republican State
Committee had sent paster ballots to Re
publicans in the interior of the State,
headed by William Steinway and Richard
Croker, Democratic electors, and followed
by the names Of the Republican electors.
Hackett said that the statement was un-
quali6edly false; but added that ii was ex-
actly what the Democrats had done. He
had sample paster. ballots from the interior
which had been mailed by Democrats to
Republican. 1t was headed by the names
Of Henry w. Sage and Jesse Seligman. Re-
publican electors, and the names of thirty
four Democratic electors followed. BE un-
derstood that the Democrats had been
spreading these pastors right and left
among Republicans throughout the State.
The morning call., 1892-11-08

From all parts Of the State l have received
letters showing that the Democrats are en-
thusiastic at the prospect. From a careful
examination of the polls received from the
State, / believe that the two parties will
come to Chicago nearly even. ana that the
majority here will be over 1000. which will
give the State to Cleveland and Altgeld by
handsome plurality.
II have just received dispatch from
Chairman Campau, Of the Michigan Demo-
cratic committee, saying that the Democ-
racy will have eight electors-at-large, a
majority of the Congressmen and that they
will capture the Legislature.
'A dispatch just received from the chair
man of the South Dakota Democratic State
Committee gives me the assurance that the
Weaver electors will have a plurality,
carrying out the policy of the State COM
mittee in Dakota, and supporting The
Weaver electors.
Chairman Wall, of the Wisconsin State
committee, telephones me that he has no
reason to change the estimate made public
last Saturday that the Democrats will have
majority of II, 600 outside of Milwaukee.
"In Iowa our friends have made good
fight, and predict that they will carry the

FIREMEN'S CLOSE SHAVE,

a destructive fire occurred at the
Potrero at an early hour yesterday morning.
About o'clock the watchman Of the
Atlas Iron Works discovered that the pat
tern-shop was on fire. An alarm was i'm
mediately turned in from box 9 of the South
San Francisco Fire Department, and few
moments afterward an alarm was also
turned in to the Fire Department of San
Francisco.
The engines that responded to the alarms
were No. IL from South San Francisco, No.
16 from the Potrero and No. 6 from San
Francisco. Old Paddy" the champion
mule of the Potrero hose reel made the
fastest time on record to the fire.
The flames had obtained considerable
headway before a stream could be turned
on. owing to the inflammable nature Of the
material they were able to feed upon.

1t took $4,000 to do this. SO the extent of
the Democratic support Of Cleveland was

At about IL o'clock the Republicans had

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. The chair
men Of both State committees were inter-
viewed tonight. and Chairman Benton Of
the Republican committee said he expected
that his party would secure a safe plurality
for both the electoral and State tickets.
He looked for the election OF a Legislature
Republican In both branches. Three out of
four Republican candidates for Congress
would be elected. and he would not be at
all surprised If the party made q clean
sweep, insuring full Republican represen-
tation in both houses at Washington.
Chairman Davis of the Democratic COM
mittee said he was absolutely certain that
the Democratic electoral ticket In the State
would have plurality OF not less than 2OOO
He said the election Of Governor would be
thrown into the Legislature, which was in
doubt as to the political complexion On joint
ballot, and no one could foretell the result.
The Democrats were sure of three Congress-
men out of four.

TWO TO ONE ON WEAVER.

That Is the Odds offered on the Result
of the Election in Colorado.
DENVER, Colo, Nov. THE political
outlook in Colorado is a difficult one to fig
uro on because of there being six tickets in
the field. chairman Griffith Of the Repub-
lican committee expresses the opiuion that
the Harrison State and congressional ticket
will be elected by 10000 plurality. This is
stoutly contradicted by Chairman Mckinley
of the Cleyelsndites who recently with
drew thei. electors and indorsed the Peo-
pies party ticket. Mckinley thinks that
the Weaver electors will have plurality
OF from 5000 to 10000. Chairman Arbuckle
Of the Weaver ticket, and a free-coinage
Democrat who fused with the Peoples
party, thinks the entire ticket will be vic
torious, with the probable exception of the
Congressman from the First District.
Chairman Stone of the Peoples party is
confident of the election of Weaver and the
balance OF his ticket in the State. Betting
in the poolrooms on the result in the State
is TO in favor OF Weaver.

CHICAGO Nov. 7.-The close of the CAM
paign finds both political parties confident
in the Northwest The Democrats for the
most part feel assured that they will elect
their Governor in Illinois. and there are
many who even expect that the electoral
vote OF the State will be cast for Cleveland.
The Republicans laugh at these pretensions.
and the State Committee appears to be quite
confident of a Republican victory all along
the line in Illinois.
Hon. William j. Campbell of JIlinofe
member of the Republican National Com
mittee. said tonight to an Associated Prees
correspondent that he believed that uIjnoIs
would give a majority for the Harrison
electors larger than four years ago, and that
Governor Fifer would triumphantly be re-
elected. CampDel's latest information from
Wisconsin was OF an assuring charac-
ter, and he felt sapguine of a majority
for Harrison and Uf the election of Spooner
as Governor by a plurality Of several
thousand. He did not regard Iowa as any
more In doubt than Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Regarding other Western States. he said

Committee feel that the situation has
steadily improved for fortnight, and the

a portion of the electors in Minnesota is
possible. but by no smeans probable. My
adyices lead me to believe that while the
vote may be close in Indiana, the chances
are decidedly favorable to the Republic
