Secretary of State:
Evidences Of local organic disease have been
manifested recently and il is believed that Mr..

JUSTLY PROVOKED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Chairman W. T
Harrity, of the Democratic national
committee, was angry this morning, II
was the first time since the campaign
opened that he has lost his temper. The
occasion of his anger was the continued
circulation on the eve of the election OF
the report that the national committee
had given to the County Democracy or
ganization in this city considerable
sum of money to be used in getting out
the vote of the county tomorrow. The
report was doing harm, because the reg
ular Democratic organization in this
city could not understand why the ma
tional committee should give money to
a boiling faction. Chairman Harrity
made this statement:
1.-The Democratic national committee
has not given one dollar of money to
any local or municipal organization in
this city or elsewhere during this cam
paign. The business of the national
committee in the various states has
been carried on through the state COM
mittees. There is no foundation for the
report that this committee has paid or
contemplated the payment. OF any
money TO any organization in this city
known as the County Democracy"
Chairman Harrity got numerous tele-
grams this morning from the close
states, also a number from the Western
states. Basing his statement OH this
information, Chairman Hafrty this
morning announced that he was absO-
lutely certain of the election of Cleve-
land and Stevenson. He says they will
get the PA votes. Harrison's vote, Mr..
Harrity places at 165.

to resist federal interference. No fed
eraI supervisors have been appointed
here and, on this and Judge Brewers
decision that the deputies could not
legally occupy the voting booths, the
Democrats base their resistance to the
presence OF federal deputies in the vot-
ing places.
Chairman Middiebrook, of the Repub-
lican county committee, called a meet
ing of the Republican judges and clerks
of election and instructed them to allow
the federal deputies to be present and
urged that force be employed if neces-
sary. Recorder Of Votes Owsley today
instructed the judges and clerks that
the deputies have no rights beyond
those of ordinary officers as to presence
in the place of voting. The board of
police commissioners has given instruc-
tons to the police to arrest federal dep
utieS and has issued call to no of the
most prominent citizens of the city, IN
wiling them to volunteer their services
on election day TO preserve the peace.
