ILLINOIS CLOSING UP.
Both Sides Claim the state-A Resume OF
the situation.

the situation.
CHICAGO, November 5.-The work at
Democratic headquarters here Is prac.
tically wound up. The commence OF
the leaders in the success OF the WORK
done knows no moderation. The calm
est expression they will allow tnem-
selves to make is that Illinois is Demo-
cratic beyond peradventure. Ihey
then sit quietly down and figure up ma
jorities of from four to five figures In a
row. Whatever may be the outcome,
the State has never been worked so
thoroughly as during this campaign.
The organization, it is claimed, was
never so complete and business like. A
single circumstance is cited TO prove
this.
1t was early decided to have some
trustworthy authorized representative
in each school district, who was to act
in that particular locality as the mouth
piece of the State committee. 10 tnis
end engraved credentials were Issued.
This document made him the president
of the precinct. 1t instructed him 10
be a director of Democracy in his neigh
borhood to poll all voters, to get all
Democrats duly registered, to nave
those desiring it naturalized ana see
that they come out on election day
Through these the leaders have acted,
arousing an interest never before SHOWN
which created hope of success. 1hey
saw chance for victory and this one
/ fact the committee says will bring out
RATS of lukewarm Democratic voters.
The Republican headquarters are al
so nearly ready to close up. Chairman
Col. j. II. Clarke, and Secretary Jami-
son have but little to do now but TO
await the results of their efforts. u
don't think there is particle OF doubt
as to the outcome" said Secretary Jami-
son. eff the election were tomorrow
and 1t was good Republican weather,
that it fair weather, we would come 10
Cook county with at least $4,000 ahead
of Mr.. Altgeld. There is not corner
In the State that we do not understand
as well as we do the wards in which we
live and we can tell pretty nearly what
the result will be. The candidates have
made the best campaign that has ever
been made in the State. Governor
Fifer In this particular has almost kill
ed himself and Is so worn out that he
will take a rest of several weeks before
he will be in any kind of shape.
The following has been issued by the
chairman of the City Committee to In
spectors:
"Challenge without hesitancy any
voter who you have good reason to be-
lieve is illegally upon the register or
who attempts to repeat, or whom you
may suspect of personating and insist
that he be put under oath and question
ed by the United States Supervisor full
ly, and If any doubt remains insist upon
an affidavit. Any one refusing to an
swer such questions, or any judge refus-
ing to put the same and accepting the
vote without doing so, you should re-
quest the United States Supervisor or
marshal to place at once under arrest
and take them before the United States
Commissioner.

He Urges the Democrats OF Nebraska to
Vote for Weaver Electors to Defeat the
Republicans.
OMAHA. NEB., November 5.-Gov.
Boyd issued several thousand copies OF
the following letter and sent them out
to Democrats:
"DEAR SIR:-It affords me pleasure
to inform you that ! have been person
ally authorized by the National Com
mittee of the Democratic party to urge
the Democrats of Nebraska TO support
the electors nominated by the INDIE
pendent party of the State. the object
being to so increase the vote for the
Weaver electors that those nominated
in behalf of Harrison shall be defeated
and this State taken out OF its accus-
toned place in the Republican column.
To do this is no sacrifice OF Democratic
PRINCIPALS. inasmuch as the object is the
triumph of Democracy and the downfall
of Reppblicanism and the vicious poll
tics which it advocates. In Nebraska
vote for Weaver and Field is more than
half vote for Cleveland and Stevenson.
Hoping for your cooperation. remain
yours in the good cause.

Speeial Tsls0ram TO the sunday Register.
PHmLIPA, w. VA, November g.
Hon. William l.. Wilson made two ex-
cellent speeches in this county yeSter-
day, one at Belington in the forenoon,
and at Overfeld, about twelves miles
from here, at night. Both meetings
were well attended. The outlook for
Wilson is good in this section Of the
district.
Elkins spoke here yesterday after
noon, and in his speech said that a
bushel Of wheat will buy more
now than ever before. Such false
and misleading utterances as that
were frequent IN his remarks. The
Democrats OF Barbour are thoroughly
alive and at work. Democratic meet
ings are being held in school houses all
over the county. These meetings are
well attended and are doing good work.
The Republicans are trying their best
to trade other candidates TO secure the
election of Howell TO the Legislature.
They offer to vote for Johnson or any
other man on the Democratic ticket for
a Democratic vote for Howell, who is
the Republican candidate for House Of
Delegates.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, November 5.
There is great danger that all the
voters OF Minneapolis will not be able
to vote at the coming election owing to
the enormous registration. The regis
tration scheme is all new and a surprise
all around. The total is 46, $50 voters
and in some precincts the number runs
roo and over. This, with the compli-
Gated system of voting, leads to the be-
lief that many OF the voters will be shut
out. The political situation In this
State is in doubt. Ne one can tell how
thousands of new voters will turn.

MARTINSBURG, W. VA, November s.
The Democrats closed their campaign
tonight with an address from Congress
man Hemphill, Of South Carolina. 1t
was by far the largest political demon
stration Of the campaign aud the en-
thusiasm was such as to inspire all with
the confidence for the coming victory.
The principal part of Mr.. HemphilPs
arguments was directed against the
force bill and his telling points were ap-
plauded time and again. His speech
solidiaed the party and tonight the
Democrats present an unbroken front
TO the foe.

The sctivh work Of the campaign has
practically closed. 50 far as the educa-
tioBal part OF it Is concerned. Every
intelligent man has made up bis mind
on which side h will cast his
ballot. or course, there will be to-day.
tomorrow, and day after tomorrow
the day Of election-a flood OF
''roorbacks, In other words, lies, sud-
den discoveries OF terrible accusations
against candidates, national, State coun-
ty and municipal.
TRey all lvill be LIES.
Let no candidate suppose that, from
the time Of his birth, everything he has
done that could possibly be twisted by
ingenious politicians into charge"
will not be sprung against him at the
last moment.
The REGISTER has-and our readers
will bear US out in the statement-en-
deavored to conduct an honorable cam
paign free from blackguardism, person
alities and falsehood. and we believe
we have succeeded. No candidate for
Office can accuse the REGISTER Of treat
ing him unfairly or OF making a per-
sonal campaign against him.
This cannot be said of our
contemporary, the TntelIigcncsr, which
has, particularly against one local
candidate for an important office,
conducted the most unfair campaign
ever made in this county.
1t is the curse of politics that many
newspapers and men believe this sort
Of thing necessary to carry elections.
They could not make greater mis-
take regarding the judgment and intel
ligence Of voters.
The average campaign lie is so trans
parent that it usually makes votes for
the candidate it is directed against.
One Of these days party organs and
politicians may come to appreciate this
fact, as every intelligent person already
does, and that honesty is the best pol
icy" in politics as well as in the ordi'
nary affairs Of life.

FEDERAL mABsHALs AT THE POLLS.

~
The order Of Attorney General Mil
LER, who is now 10 West Virginia, re-
earding the employment and the priyil'
EGGS Of United States Marshals at the
polls on election day is calculated to
cause very serious trouble and unfortu-
nate complications in those States
where an attempt will be made to carry
It out.
No citizen objects to the employment
OF these federal marshals as police OFF,
GERS to preserve the peace; they have
been heretofore employed wherever il
was deemed necessary, but when they
are given the power to violate the laws
Of the State the objection is most de-
cided, and if the attempt is made In
New York, Alabama, West Virginia and
other states to enforce Mr.. MmLER'S
order there probably will be conflict
between State aad federal authorities
that may prove serious.
The State ballot law forblds any citI-
zen, not designated by said law an cleo
ton officer, from approaching within a
certain distance Of the polls except for
the purpose Of voting. Attorney Gen
eral Mr1ER's construction Of the fed
eral law nullifes this law Of the State

MONTGOMERY, ALA, November o.
It becomes more and more apparent
that there may be a serious clash De-
tween State and federal authorities In
Alabama next Tuesday. United States
Marshal Walker has appointed deputy
marshals in many precincts, and this
act Gen. Shelly holds to be without
authority and advises Democrats to ar
rest and jail marshals who attempt 10
enter the polling places or place them
selves within thirty feet Of the polls. A
serious clash is inevitable, as the follow
ing letter from Sheriff w. w. Thomp-
son, OF Macon county, to United States
Marshal Walker would indicator.
ITO Hon. W. S. Walker, U. S. Marshal
"Yours dated October 80 just to hand.
In reply will say that have appointed
deputy sheriffs at each voting place In
the county, with positive written In
structions to arrest all violators OF the
election laws and to keep peace and ord
er and l am quite sure they will do their
duty. As to any threats being made
have not heard Of them and IL they were
made, It was by some bully who has not
the courage to execute them, and In case
it should be attempted will have men
enough to resist the party who tries it.
The only bluffing that ! have heard
is by some of our special deputies
at Notasula. l understand that they
made their brags that they would take
charge Of the election there; that they
would go inside the room and inside
the ropes il they wanted TO, and were
going to. Now, II they attempt any
thing of the kind 1 will certainly have
them arrested IL can deputize enough
men enough to do it, So far a. can l
am determined that there shall be no
disturbance or fuss on the day OF cleo
ton, and l don't apprehend any, only
at Notasula, and really not there, for l
think it is all bluff. don't know
that they have said anything there, OF
my knowledge.

MONTPELIER, Aug. 14.-St Augustine's
Catholic church was discovered on fire about
b o'clock yesterday morning, and the fire
companies promptly responded to the alarm
and did efficient work. The roof on the
ed flee and tine vestry are a total wreck.
Very little property was taken from the
building, and that in an injured condition,
and the large organ, chancel and other con-
tents are badly damaged by wuter and
smoke.
Tic fire is supposed to have caught from
q lamp that was left burning in the vestry
during u meeting on the previous evening.
The inside of the vestry and all its con-
tents were badly burned, the fire going
through the ceiling of this room into the
spacewav between the ceiling and roof,
which extends over the whole building.
The edifice is insured for $4,000 in the
Vermont Mutual OF this city.
Rev. W. j. O'Sullivan, the pastor, says
the walls are shaky, the church being near
ly 40 years old, aud the building will prob
ably not be repaired, but instead, the base
ment of the new church now in course of
construction on Barre street, finished and
occupied. He Gays the loss on the church
and contents will reach about $4,000.
