Democrats Divided Over Supporting
the Weaver Electors.

Democrats Divided Over Supporting
the Weaver Electors.
OMAHA, NEB., Nov 6-Since the secret
meeting Of the democratic state committee
here two weeks ago. at which it was agreed
to support the Weaver electors, there has
been great deal of disappointment among
certain leaders. This eliminated last night
in a meeting at Exposition hall, which was
intended to be love feast, closing the
campaign. DIR. George L. Miller presided,
and in the evening meeting took position
against fusion. He argued that there was
nothing to be gained from trade, and
urged his democratic friends to vote the
straight ticket.
On the platform was Gov. Boyd, who has
been at the head of the fusion forces from
the start. He followed DR.. Miller. saying
the state was irrevocably lost to Mr.. Cleve-
land and the only hope for the democracy
was to vote for Gen. Weaver. He called
their attention 80 the fact that the other
side has always led the party to defeat and
urged the democrats to vote for the Weaver
electors.
j. Sterling Morton, the candidate for
governor, accused the fusionists of treach-
cry, saying that to vote for the Weaver
electors would aid in destroying the chance
of democratic victory. He argued at length
on the position taken by the governor and
was loudly applauded. The meeting broke
up in some disorder.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 6.-The state
fight in Indiana is a close one. The candi-
dates for governor are Claude Matthews, on
the democratic ticket and Gov. Ira j. Chase,
the present incumbent, and who is also a min

they will probably retain u majority of to o

A NON-PARTIsAN FORECAST.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Dispatches TO the

respondents in many states give the follow

In Massachusetts, 1t is well nigh impossi-

the result OF the balloting. The registra-
tion has been heavy on both sides, and both
parties make strong claims of substant ntial
gains iu the lists. The state is close.
The Harrison electors may win by
from 1000 to 10000 Gov. Russell's
reelection is among the probabilities by a
plurality of 4,000. The legislative fight has
been intensified by a personal canvass made
by Henry Cabot Lodge for the United
States senatorship. The democrats and in
dependents are fighting him savagely on
account Of his force BILL and the chances
are good that he will be defeated.
DOUBT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
In New Hampshire it is safe to say that
the situation is one Of great doubt. The
general expectation is that the legislature
will be called upon to decide the governor
ship. Which party will gain control OF that
body is a matter Of doubt, with the chances
somewhat in favor of the republicans.
In Alabama 5he situation has been per-
ceptibly Frightening for the democrats in
the last two days. A remarkable feature
of the campaign has been the disappear
ance OF the color line, the democrats wishing
for the negro vote, and not democratic
paper saying a word that negro could OBJ
ject to. The result is numerous negro
Cleveland clubs.

New YORK, Nov. 6.-The following san

committee and made public by them to-
day:
CHICAGO, Nov. G. 1892.
Defeat awaits the Republican party in that
great bunch of western states, Illinois. Indiana,
Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota and Iowa.
Every Indication warrants the prediction that
ex-President Cleveland will receive sweeping
maioritles. 1t is landslide. The Republican
party is about to be wiped out OF existence
The Generalization has become a
stampede. Scores of former lead
ers in the Republican party
are now working in the rank and file of the
democracy. The Chicago Tribune practically
comedies overwhelming republican defeat;
every republican politician and committeeman
in the west who has had an opportunity of as
certaining the correct condition of affairs pri-
vatey admits it. The board OF trade has an
actual membership of 1900. and a
working membersh p of between 500 and 600
In former years the republicans have had a
large majority. To-day Joseph Mcdonald, an
old member of the board, in two hours time
obtained the names OF 12S members of the
board of trade who have never before voted

OLYMPIA, WASH. Nov. 6-The coming
election will be the first in which the voters
of Washington have been permitted to vote
for a presidential ticket. They will also
vote for full set of state officers and two
congressman. The main interest centers on
the contest for governor, owing to the posi-
tion of the two candidates on
the Lake Washington canal question,
J. H. Magraw, the republican
candidate, favoring the scheme, while
J. H. Snively, the democratic candidate,
opposes it. The republicans confidently
claim the state for Harrison by 5000 and
the state ticket by 5000. The democrats
express themselves as confident Of carrying
the state by small plurality for Cleveland
and their state ticket The democrats are
charged with an intention to trade the
national ticket for votes for Snively, the
democratic nominee for governor, and for
the legislative ticket, in the hope Of obtain
ing control OF the state offices and electing
a democratic United States senator. The
democratic authorities estimate the Peo-
pies party vote at $4,000 out of q probable
total of $1,000. The prohibitionists will
cast about 1000 votes.

ooDLBs OF DOODLE TO BET.

Cleveland's Backers Forced TO Give
Odds to Have Their Money Covered.
New YoRK, Nov. 6.-Fifty-thousand
dollars of democratic money was deposited
at the Hoffman house Wednesday night to
be bet on Clevelands election. About $40
600 of this was covered. 1t was also an>
nounced by Edward Kearney, democrat
that there was $4,000 more ready to be
placed in the same way, but no part Of this
was accepted.
After the democratic fund Of slOO. 900
went up Harrison betters began immedi-
ately to ask for odds, so ny Thursday the
figures in Cleveand's favor were 10 to o.
The betting continued steady at this figure
and the closing quotations Saturday night
showed very few bets registered at even
money.
George Wheelock, a bookmaker. has
placed $50 900, or thereabouts on Harrison,
betting both on the state and general result,
and still has margin of $4,000 left. he
believes that he will win.
Bookmakers John and James Mason have
acted as agents in placing great deal OF
money supposed TO emsnate from the demo-
cratic campaign managers. 1t is common

own money on Cleveland, Notwithstanding

this to be very uncertain.
Ex-Alderman Walton Storm has also

MARsHALs IN THE BOOTHS.
Acting Attorney General Aldricl
Gives His Idea of the Law.


Gives His Idea of the Law.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Next to the re-
suit Of the election on Tuesday the question
OF most interest to-day is whether there is
likely to be any trouble or conflict of
authority at the polls. In conversation
with a reporter tonight Mr.. Aldrich, act
ing Attorney General, expressed himself as
very confident that there is very little
reason TO apprehend trouble. He said all the
United States officers have been cautioned
against doing anything to provoke a con-
troversy and he had no doubt the state
officers have like instructions,
But what about deputy marshals going
within the booths, or behind guard rails! 2,
was asked Mr.. Aldrich.
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM,
Mr.. Aldrich-They are not expected to do
80 unless necessary in order to discharge
some duty imposed on them by the statutes
of the United states. Where necessary they
have the right to go anywhere about the
polls or ballot-boxes in the discharge Of their
duty. But ordinarily it will only be neces-
sary that they be about the outside
ready for any emergency that may
arise. hlt they obey instructions, as no doubt
they will, their presence will simply be con
ducive to good order and fair election.
"Some question has been raised, Mr.. Al
drich, as 10 the right to appoint deputy
marshals except in cities Of ~, 900 inhabit-
ants"
RULED BY TAFT's OPINION.
Mr.. Aldrich-Under the United States
election statutes the authority is SO limited !:
but Attorney General Taft held, and | con-
cur in this view, that under the provisions
Of section 7S0 Of the Revised Statutes, the
marshal has broad discretion as to the
number of his general deputies, and that
under section 7SS they have the same
powers as sheriffs and their deputies
in each state in matters affecting
the peace Of the United States, which
powers are more specifically defined by sec
tions 2022 and 2024 Revised Statutes, and
taken in connection with section 5522 Of the
Revised Statutes leave no room for conflict
or mlsapprehension on the part Of any
federal or state official,
